In all fairness Atlanta don't really have home court advantage because they rely on 3's too much.

They went 9-35 (27%) from 3 point line tonight. They won't beat anyone anywhere doing that.

They went 15-27 (55.6%) last game and won. It could happen again so I will at least keep an eye on it.

As for KD and OKC.. it's going to be a tough task for Memphis esp. if Conley isn't 100%... :x

They deserve to be sent fishing in game 7, but if anyone can screw that up and let them continue to show boat and act cocky-- it is Atlanta lmao.

I do not think the refs will let KD lose a game 7 in OKC. Memphis needs to pull Prince from starting if they want a chance.

I would LOVE to send these overrated, cocky wannabes packing again for the third year in a row. Poetic justice. :pray:

Who slows KD down?

Don't need to slow him down, one man can't beat a whole team. Westbrook & KD got their's against us back in the 2012 Finals but we shut down everybody else

The key is Blake Griffin. He has to play like a superstar and go at Ibaka. If he can be the best/second best player in the series, Clips can win.

Blake will be the best player for the Clippers because CP3 is playing with an injured hamstring. As far as best player in the series I think he can if he doesn't get in foul trouble. Blake would own Ibaka & any of the other bigs that OKC throw at him

clippers play collison waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many mins
by too many i mean more than 10

he's a horrible decision maker and cant finish in the paint
they desperately need another ballhandler

until they get that they're pretenders and not contenders

deandre was the only one trying to rebound in the 4th as well

saturday is going to be fun tho

Watching all these teams fail to close each other out while the Heatles are just at home resting up is an awesome feeling. It's great to have stress in the second round all the way up to the Finals but damn the 1st round :lol: Just crazy. If Houston, Dallas & Brooklyn wins tonight we'll have 6 game 7's for the first time ever this weekend

I knew the Heat would make short work of the LolCats but who would've thought the Wizards would be the next team along side of us watching these morons kill each other. I've always thought if anything it would be San Antonio but damn, it kind of feels like a Heat-Wizards ECF is destiny

Clippers failing to close out a depleted Warriors team with pretty much no size left is really pathetic. Paul and Griffin tonight...SMH. Green was eating Griffin up on the boards; the fact that the undersized Warriors have done so well on the boards through grit and hustle is really amazing.

Harrison Barnes still has yet to show up. Warriors could possibly beat the Clips on sat.

Didnt see the game. Saw he put up 36 tonight so he had to be doing something right.

For as AWFUL as he's played this series.....he's still avg 29/10......against Memphis..

Which speaks to just how talented he really is.....however if you're physical...he'll put up the quietest 30 points.

Well Atlanta and Memphis let me down in G6.

Now they've got to do it in G7 on the road.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

I think I'd rather watch anime than watch these Game 7s, especially the Hawks-Pacers one; tired of rooting for these low IQ basketball teams. Hopefully Toronto can close out, but it'll be tougher task than Atlanta and Memphis had since they're on the road.

I think Bud is pretty damn good coach all things considered, but putting the ball in Lou Williams' hands instead of Jeff Teague's was just....ugh.

Did anybody else think that Johnson played better D against Durant than Prince? Maybe it's time for Joerg to do a little change to the starting lineup too by starting Allen at the 3 and have Johnson back him up from the bench.

That & the fact that both Steph & Klay haven't had that "Splash brothers" type game together too. That's the only Game 7 that is interesting. But I'll be watching the Mayweather fight so um yea...Fxck you NBA
