Doc used to put Rondo on Lebron too. Gotta respect that coach. Knows which cards to pull and isn't afraid to go outside the box

Ah Chokelohama City always makes me laugh. When they win 1 game they look like "they're unbeatable" & going to win the Finals to "analysts and people on this forum" but when they lose, blame Westbrook, blame Scott Brooks...No blame for KD who just became CP3's bitch in the 4th quarter :lol:

CP3 defended him 1 on 1 without any help :rofl:

Don't know how KD let CP3 **** own him.

Rick Carlisle also didn't get enough respect for putting JJ Barea on Bron in the 2011 Finals. It's a well known fact that shorter players get away with a lot when defending taller players. Shorter players like CP3, Rondo, etc. are able to body up guys like LeBron & Durant more because the refs allow them to get away with it since their smaller players by a land slide

Bron learned after that Finals & now no short player is able to guard him. I thought Durant would've learned from that Dallas series but apparently not. That has been the knock on Durant for years now, he let's shorter players defend him & get into his head

Man I ain't gonna lie, I had no idea the Clippers had that kinda fight in them. Major props to them today. I'm gonna put most of the blame on KD, but Westbrook had a huge hand in OKC's loss today. How many straight possessions in the last 6 minutes did Westbrook take the shot? Had to have been at least 6 or 7, and it took their offense completely out of rhythm; and when KD did get the ball, CP3 got physical with him and turned it over (he finished w/ 8 TO's total).

KD has to keep Westbrook in check he's the MVP and the best player on that team he has to demand the ball instead of being little bitch.

Tony Allen is a PRIME example of that. Mind you he's a much stronger player than CP3 and he's got better defensive fundamentals, but for CP3 to do what he did against KD. It was a fascinating watch indeed....

Westbrook was a part of OKC's lose today but I don't blame him for his MVP/Best player not fighting hard enough to get the ball...ESPECIALLY against Chris Paul of all people. It was also funny because people were saying Brooks was better than Doc & Pop :lol:

OKC bring that iso bs down the stretch against the Spurs then they losing, just that simple

it's too late for the season, but this why I feel our "HELP DEFENSE" is old and not as effective FULL TIME anymore- Just guard your man straight up with minimum help...throughout the game/series, you learn players tendencies and can plan how to play/adjust......This "system" approach is not for everybody and at the very least should be mixed in with man defense....IMHO

Great game by the Clippers.

Showed a lot of heart getting the win.

Post #1097 » by **DefenseWins** » Sun May 11, 2014 10:49 pm

Knew Clips would win despite being down by a ton, just an eerie feeling

Lol this is why I want OKC man

I hope we go up 3-1 tho, this series shouldn't be longer than 5.

He really is, but it's all a schtick and he's made a bigger name for himself because of this schtick.

Shades of Tony Allen: How can MVP Kevin Durant allow 6-foot Chris Paul to guard him down the stretch? Post him! Joke.
