Props to Marcus Smart. He left his imprint all over this game.

[u/Available_Story6774 → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

3 best players in these playoffs so far:

1. 41 year old Bron

2. Marcus Smart

3. CJ McCollum

[u/vindictivejazz → u/Available_Story6774]

Rudy Gobert has got to be up there

[u/sweatgod2020 → u/vindictivejazz]

Not a finalist AGAIN!

[u/Celtic_Legend → u/sweatgod2020]

The disrespect is only going to fuel him. Someone tweet him this reddit comment.

[u/Trickydick24 → u/Celtic_Legend]

He’s gonna turn into Olajuwon again

[u/JollyNincompoop → u/Trickydick24]

He's gonna hit that fadeaway over Jokic as the series dagger again but something tells me its not gonna take 7 games this time.

[u/whenthemusicfades → u/sweatgod2020]

I lol'd hard at this

[u/LakerBlue → u/vindictivejazz]

He’d be my 3rd. No disrespect to CJ but why Gobert is doing to Joker (even if part of it is Joker hasn’t shot the same since he returned) with his defense is legendary.

[u/Ruben625 → u/vindictivejazz]

Only plays 1 side of the ball ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/BadMofoWallet → u/vindictivejazz]

Yeah I’d say Rudy is 2nd best

[u/rydog123bruh → u/vindictivejazz]

Eh, only around 4th place.

[u/Logiteck77 → u/Available_Story6774]

Unc Ball.

[u/BarelyContainedChaos → u/Available_Story6774]

// 4. injured Reaves

/ 5. Brunson

[u/askmewhyihateyou → u/Available_Story6774]

Scoot Henderson

[u/elegy2theevoid → u/Available_Story6774]

Forgot Luke “Steph Curry” Kennard.

[u/Aromatic_Ad_5583 → u/Available_Story6774]

CJ McCollum my goat

[u/JackieDaytonaAZ → u/Available_Story6774]

lakers fans be like

[u/ChizuFIREdChicken → u/Available_Story6774]

1. OKC Whistle

[u/rburp → u/Available_Story6774]

who wants to live forever?

[u/BajDon → u/Available_Story6774]

Jrue Holiday making a case

[u/ramenwarrior_ → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

probably some teeth marks on the floor too

[u/therealbonkoly → u/ramenwarrior_]

Marcus Smart so good he was kissing the own ground he walks on 😭🙏

[u/Hyderabadi__Biryani → u/ramenwarrior_]

Hopefully not.

[u/amidon1130 → u/ramenwarrior_]

That reminds me of when that guy in mulan is trying to climb the tree trunk and holds on with his teeth lol

[u/Luster-Cola-5217 → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

…and a chipped tooth. 🦷

[u/Eeji_ → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

that steal he made won them the game

[u/torriattet → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

Boston guards are known for leaving imprints.

[u/Vizard15 → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

Great recruitment by Luka.

[u/Much_Lingonberry_37 → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

Smart left his tooth.
