yup
but the sunshine pumpers with their heads in the sand would have you believe last year's accomplishments mean something and that lebron will rise above all and carry us to the mountain top

both the spurs and OKC got better
we got worse, and it took a miracle to win last year

but lebron will carry us. dont be afraid


You're right we have no chance time to stop watching and give up.

I mean listen to yourself is it going to be extremely difficult to 3-peat? Of course it is but why not try believing in the team how many times in the past few seasons have we thought it was over?

This loser attitude some of you have is so annoying if you want to give up go ahead but don't drag the rest of us down with you.

It's funny because last I recall the Clippers are ranked 13th & Portland are ranked 16 on defense in the postseason but yea we should be soooo scared of the big bad Spurs & Thunder... :roll: we're not back 2 back champs

According to some fans here no other team in league history has gotten lucky on championship runs only us.

Yup. Let's just forfeit this series to the Nets because remember we were suppose to "fear" them too. Let's not show up for the ECF or the NBA Finals at all. Spurs & Thunder are just so scary

Durant with 13 FTA with 7 minutes left in the third. :lol:

Why the Clippers haven't utilized more pick and roll with the pick and roll master, I don't know. Barnes and Griffin shooting 20 footers? Griffin 20 footers off of oick and rolls?

At least the LAC are rebounding today. Spurs/OKC should be fun with OKC the favorites even if the Spurs have homecourt. Of all teams and players, Pop seems most "scared" of OKC and Durant and Westbrook.

According to the GB, Allen's shot and his shot alone accounted for our 16 playoff wins last year.

Get mad at Durant but it's not like Wade didn't go to the line a lot back in the day.. :lol:

This is true. :lol:

Now to Wade's credit. He did a much better job of selling his "fouls" than KD.

I still wonder why even today Wade gets more love from the refs than LeBron.

Damn...OKC fouling with impunity on rebounds, drives to the basket...

If this somehow gets close and the Clips need to foul, Durant could take 26-30 FTs. :lol:

Eh… I'd argue that we're the healthiest we've been in years which will make up for what we may have lost. No one is saying you should believe in the Heat blindly but a little optimism never hurt now did it.

Hey now. The Lakers winning back to back championships meant there was no way they were losing to the Mavs in the 2nd round...no way...no how...no..errr..


In all honesty. I see both sides. On one hand....this has been our worst year since the joining of big 3. However, we have the ace in the hole. We have LeBron. Whenever he truly wants to dominate......no team in the league can mess us. No matter how flawed we are.

As it always is. We go as far as LeBron takes us. Just gotta hope he's rested (Spo) enough for him to do his superman thing.

This is true. We will be healthy. I think its right to have optimism (we're 2 time champs) its wrong to have arrogance (acting like the Spurs/Thunder are ****)

Then again. Maybe its because the old school posters/lurkers were here for the long run.....and seen just how *hard* it was the last two years to win the championship. Times where as fans we were seriously doubting whether we can win. But hopeful enough that they can do it. The journey is what made it so awesome for the fans.
