I think what we are all forgetting that more than anything we wanted to stick it to OKC for taking all those 1st round picks in the trade.

All this analysis will lead to paralysis. We're playing Dallas in round one. Let's get over the seedings and what could have been had we played the pelicans on Mars. I think we beat Dallas in 5 or 6. It's Kawhi and Rondo time.

Mavs won’t be a easy out at all. Both teams healthy and completely different rosters

I don't get why clippers decided to sit pg and kawhi for these last two games and they have a week off.

I don't like it. to be honest. I would have preferred to be the third seed.

Exactly. Absolutely foolish and maddening to think they will be easy to beat from what we saw last playoffs AND this season from then.

Part of the reason why last season's series was harder than it needed to be was the triple albatross of Doc, Trez and PG dragging the Clippers down. Only PG is left from that trio, so maybe things will be different.

Yup. All the PG lovers here have gone awfully quiet too. We can't expect anything from him. If he has a good game we can be pleasantly surprised but it should not be expected despite his bloated contract and egotistical game..

Also- even though Jackson played well, they missed Beverley on the defensive end

I didn't like it either but they both have aching feet.

I have chronically aching feet and the only thing that makes them better is rest. I stopped playing on blacktop and paid to join the YMCA just for the wood floor. And I'm only 5'10"--these guys are 6'7". They have freakish bodies--we average folks can't begin to understand the stresses their bodies endure--PLUS playing NBA ball under a CRUSHING schedule. And that' not even counting the travel.

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. These guys are not pussies. They want to WIN.

Playing Mann has nothing to do with anything but watching the games instead of plus minus box scores all day :wink:
