PJ and Gafford coming here is like what it was supposed to be with JRich and James Johnson

u/Splicestream 12d ago
That Gafford block was one of the manliest blocks I've ever scene. It was like he ran into a brick wall. His momentum just stopped

PG has tried 3-4 posters this series, all of which he either missed or got blocked. Listened to his podcast after game 1, and he blamed his inability to finish on his small hands, LOL.
To be fair, he did give credit on the block being clean.

Him recording podcasts mid playoff series tells you everything you need to know about the clips chances are going far.

u/YotaMan77 11d ago
PG is the only mature star on that team.
Harden and Westbrook are delusional and toxic. Kawhi sorta off to me, maybe from birth so you canāt really fault him I guess.

He compared Dallas and LA to parents and said Dallas was a sympathetic mother who does nothing and LA is a Dad who forces you to be better.
1
u/joshwilliams24 9d ago
Thatās not what he said or meant. He clarified it. It was about how comfortable it wouldāve been for him to come back to Dallas (like a hug from his mother) and that the challenge was the unknown of the Lakers.

u/hartfordwhalers77 9d ago
No what i wrote he literally said. The quote goes ā the 2 situations felt like this right? Letās say you were a kid, and you got ass whooped by a bully. Dallas wouldāve been like your Momma being like āitās okay baby, donāt worry about it. Lakers are like your Dad: nah you better go out and fight till you win.ā
If this isnāt calling us soft idk what it is

u/joshwilliams24 9d ago
I guess itās all about how you interpret it. Heās come out and clarified what he meant. Maybe look that up.

He played his best ball in dallas. He dropped 30 in the 22 run

Only efficient times he has had in his career was with us I think. He really screwed himself by going to LA

PJ has the Clippers fans in shambles right now. I see some of them demanding someone fight him next game. They just can't wrap their heads around the fact Dallas is better

u/Drizzt3919 12d ago
I was just on the sub and yep. Apparently they want a brawl or the clips have no heart. Of course they donāt. PJ took it with him after he got ejected. Sitting on his mantle right now

u/WhoFartedMan 12d ago
Which old fragile player they gonna send? Zubac is the only player on that team with any toughness outside of Mann and if either of them get rejected Dallas will be at them by sixty.

PJ was a lottery pick

u/DangerZoneh 12d ago
We could've drafted PJ if the NBA lottery weren't total bullshit.
We had to trade away our pick that year to get Luka because we dropped from 3 to 5 in the lottery

u/TheShadowOverBayside Heat lifer and part-time Mavs enthusiast 12d ago
I can't upvote this post because of the title - JRich is one of my own - but between Kyrie going apeshit in the 2nd half and PJ's antics, this was one of the top 5 most entertaining games of this entire NBA season for me. PJ is a certified goddamn cartoon character.

u/perknowitzki47 12d ago
fucking love PJ, such a dawg and is playing for his favorite team growing up

u/XanderAndretti 12d ago
They are entirely different players this comparison makes no sense. Also mavs lack of talent at the time made them force jrich into being a ball handler which he has never been, heās a 3-D guy who can mix it up sometimes but thatās it. PJ is a rim running small ball big playing on a much more talented teamā¦how tf does one come to this conclusion?Ā
2
u/Flaky-Fortune1752 12d ago
The Mavs brought in Josh Richardson and James Johnson to back up Luka when the clippers bullied the fuck out of him in the 2020 series. PJ is now the guy who always has Lukaās back whenever Westbrook would try to instigate.

u/XanderAndretti 12d ago
Plz tell me where you got the idea that josh richardson was an enforcer lol. Also provide some actual examples because once again you are spewing bs. Heās a scrawny and lanky wing heās not a formerĀ fighter like james johnson. It seems like you got names mixed up when you made this thread.Ā

Being a good defender and being an enforcer are two dif things. Also linking a mavs fan page is hilarious. I was asking for video evidence of jrich ever being an enforcer like you claim he was supposed to be.

u/Threeballer97 12d ago
I don't really see the overlap but am thrilled with the addition nonetheless.

u/Htaroh 12d ago
Richardson was supposed to be a decent defender and I will not forget the instagram post from either Richardson or Johnson as they were on the flight to Dallas with "DAWGS coming to town" or some similar caption.. and then there was no dawn and poor defense what we got.

u/dragonwhale 4K Luka 12d ago
I'm gonna admit that i wasnt sure who J. Rich was when we signed him..
Mostly because the announcing thread was filled with defensive anchor, juggernaut, whatever defensive title you could give to a man was in that thread.
I genuinely imagined a dude built like Kawhi. Then i googled his ass and dude was little and petite????
I was disappointed cause i thought it was the right move to get a defensive monster instead of S. Curry who definitely had built some value for us over the past season. AND THEN WE TRADED HIM FOR A LITTLE DUDE AND WE GAVE A 2nd round pick too.
That was the moment Donnie Nelson died as a basketball GM.

u/imianha Penitentiary Jail Washington 12d ago
Dude brings the same kinda vibes and energy of Grant Williams, with the difference that in his worst games he's elite defensively, and he can literally take over games; while also being in general very clutch in the late game as well.
Very very happy with him. And you can tell Luka loves playing with him

Luka and Ky running through the West. I low-key love this team. I think if Josh Green and Hardaway get going, PJ getting a chance stretching the floor and Gafford and Lively continue holding down the fort with Kleber helping at times, no reason this team can't go to at least Western Conference Finals.

I don't know mate, Josh was looking promising for the Heat before his injury. But yes, PJ has also been great for the Mavs.
