The Clippers must blow it all up if they lose their first-round series

You have to figure it out because you know what happens if they lose the series? You got to blow it all up. You got to trade Paul George. Everybody. Trade everyone.

Opinion Basketball Hot

The Clippers actually came back to win the series and reached the Western Conference Finals, so they did not blow it up.

The Suns are in a 'must-win' situation in Game 2 despite leading the series 1-0

In a series that is a seven-game series and the Suns are up 1-0... it felt like a must-win for the Suns. I think that the Suns needed to win this game, and it feels like history is repeating itself [with LeBron].

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Suns lost Game 2 but still went on to win the series 4-2, meaning it was not a 'must-win' as they overcame the loss.

The Lakers are unbeatable if Anthony Davis is making his three-pointers

Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.

Opinion Basketball Mild

Davis shot just 18% from three in the series and the Lakers were eliminated in the first round.

LeBron James intentionally lets opponents win Game 1 in early playoff rounds to give them false confidence

If it's in the first or second round, [LeBron] is like, I'm going to let them get a little confidence, maybe run their way out of the series tonight. Let them try too hard in Game 1.
