Best part was they lost of momentum was lost for the Warriors when Draymond Green bush leagued tackled Griffin.

What's the Warriors' Next Excuse? 

Post#142 » by Ranma » Thu Mar 13, 2014 6:23 pm

Andy Liu, ClipperBlog (3/13/14)
#Threequartersquad
The Warriors coined the #FullSquad excuse as a way to explain their struggles and schematic changes during the season. As games ebbed and flowed, the less Andre Iguodala, Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry played, the more the Warriors struggled. The Clippers have lost Chris Paul for an extended period of time, J.J. Redick for possibly the rest of the season and dealt with lingering problems to Jamal Crawford and Jared Dudley. In stepped Danny Granger.

Without Redick and Crawford against the healthy Warriors, they clamped down late second half and a putback Blake Griffin slam essentially ended the game. The Clippers trimmed their rotations down and got 7-of-11 shooting and 18 huge points from Granger. He came out of the halftime with bags taped to his knees, but still tossing up jump shots. In one memorable moment, he blew by athletic swingman Harrison Barnes for a layup in the third quarter.

When Paul went down, Griffin stepped up in an MVP way. Now with ancillary members of the rotation down, there’s no excuse coming from the reigning Pacific Division champions and the Clippers keep chugging along; winners of nine straight and just three games behind the first-place Spurs.

Ralph and Mike mentioned Granger was prone to have big games against the Warriors and it came true. A true x factor against them.

I am happy about this victory. Definitely don't like the Warriors. They have several annoying players. It is also annoying that so many Warriors fans were in attendance. I noticed this on opening night too when I went to the game. It is so obnoxious to hear oohs, aahs, and cheers when a Warriors player makes a good play.

On a different note, it seems nearly every team now guards CP3 with a big 2 guard or small forward. Hopefully Barnes or Granger can post up the small point guards and make them pay. It is really getting old, but understandable that opposing teams do this because it is quite effective.

I think it's not too bad because if they do decide to switch a 2/3 to guard cp3, granger or mattyb can just shoot over the PG. works for me. :)

Sorry guys I was busy with work the past few days. I didn't get to watch the game at all, but heard we really played well in the 4th. I'm glad we got another win and we keep moving in a positive direction. This is the perfect time to be playing well in the NBA.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

That game was so strange even watching it again it seemed like Paul had more To's then noted and had no idea he almost had a triple double.
