Man, you really do hate the Warriors, but yea, really those guys both deserved it, so one winning over the other isn't some sort of travesty

Loathe them... thankfully, other fans are starting to notice how unlikeable that team actually is now. AD just **** on them.

Wow, of course Curry hits that ****. And all the casual fans will be right back on their dicks.

Meanwhile, we choke in every single one of those situations. SMFH.

The Warriors and their fans are pretty annoying.

holier than thou, we-do-no-wrong, OMFG flopping deserves the electric chair mouth breathers.


There's a couple that are cool and keep the rivalry hate rational. The rest are pure annoying.

Well it's certainly very interesting to see how the Warriors flopping is funny and now it's supposedly just what everyone does and "who wouldn't take advantage of faking fouls to get turnovers", right? Really? that's what people are saying now? Don't let a Clipper player ever do anything even remotely close unless they'd deserve to be on death row and would be singlehandedly ruining the league or something wild like that.

That's what I've consistently said over the years. Vehemently hate flopping and anyone that has ever flopped, fine, but be consistent. If you think anyone who flops is awful and shouldn't be respected and deserves to be injured or whatever else people say, then you apply that liberally. Don't instead try to play it off as a "reason" to hate on players or teams that you've already determined you're going to dislike anyways. For example the people who will be happy a player flopped because they are "getting back" at another team, yet they say they hate flopping, and somehow it's now okay.

Good job by the Grizz. I hate both teams but there's nothing more I hate than a Bay Area team having success.

yup. i still won't understand how everyone could write the grizzlies off so easily.

warriors obviously best team in the league over the season but the grizzlies played really smart disruptive interior defense and the warriors don't have an answer for z-bo. imagine if marc gasol gets going, heh.

also, that was a great game, partly cause the obnoxious warriors fans seeing their team lose HCA, but also cause of the genius of tony allen.

one-eyed charlie and first-team all defense are tony allenisms that will live on forever in my heart

Mike Conley and Tony Allen were huge tonight. Conley led the game in scoring and Allen caused havoc and played stellar D. I hope we can take care of Houston rather easily and that GS/Mem goes 7. Man I can't wait til tomorrow night. Actually looking forward to watching Bulls/Cavs too. Had to work last night so didn't start watching our game til late (thats why I didn't join in on the game thread because tipoff for me was about 90 min after the real time tipoff). 7:00 got Cavs/Bulls and Yankees game followed by the game of the night w us and Houston. Can. Not. Wait.

Props to DRose for allowing our game to start being aired from the tip. Also, filthy shot. Good for him back playing well and looking healthy.

lol

for real though, watching tony allen hound klay thompson, sheesh.

i'm not so sure that gs wouldn't be the better matchup for us in the WCF. but if there's one thing jj redick learned from having kawhi ghost him over 7 games is how to get shots off against an elite defender.

Every Clipper fan should be sipping their favorite drink, watching this game and thinking….

"not so funny is it?"

I think it's only righteous that it is the Grizzlies that meet us at the conference final. we have a history ever since they turned the lights off in their building to stop our momentum during a regular season game a few years ago, and our playoff record against each other is 1-1. it's time to settle the score and the rubber match is just a week away.

lets do this! clips vs pedobears for the wcf
ehhhhh f it.
