Clipper down 5. Can they pull this off?

Well apparently smart asses on the GB think both the Thunder & Clippers are better defensive teams then we are :roll:

Clippers have the pick and roll master and they decide their best play is Griffin taking 20 FT jumpers. Paul with an option to hit the runner/teardrop or lob it up to Jordan/Griffin is there every time.

You see all the teams that NEEDED a win are winning tonight. The Nets NEED a win tomorrow, we can't let that happen.

if Griffin gonna get locked down by Ibaka it gonna be over for them

Durant carries like a mofo lol just about every crossover. Im just hoping Bron can get some love from the refs at some point during these playoffs after repeatedly getting jobbed

Yea, I actually thought Blake improved. So far he's looking like the Blake Griffin that got punked out by Zach Randolph last year. Even in Game 1 Blake didn't play all that great. He better show up for Game 3 or this series is over in 5 in OKC's favor

he better wake up, him and Jordan, because they are the key. Its so much CP3 can do. They got OKC bum front court looking like its Memphis

The Nets don't need a win tomorrow, we do. The Nets need to win game 3 & 4. That's how I understand it.

Pathetic effort by the Clippers today, being satisfied with one road win is truly disgusting to me. Even the Wizards put a better fight despite their loss. Come on now..

And by the way, neither of these teams are getting past the Spurs. There's just no way.

Spurs look like an entirely different team when they play OKC, i wouldn't count on it

And Westbrook will get no credit for the win haha

Pisses me off too but I feel CP3 picking up those 2 early fouls **** up most the Clippers momentum. As far as this second half no excuse for Blake Griffin & DeAndre Jordan getting outplayed & out rebounded by the bigs of OKC. Teams in this era don't have that killer instinct no more. I just don't understand why you would give a team life, it makes no sense to me

I would because the Spurs can run up the score just as good as any team but they can also play defense, something the Clippers and OKC can't. If you think Durant had trouble with Tony Allen he is going to need 6 phantom calls on Kawhi to get past them.

Flopping at its finest by the MVP.

The league won't review it though because you know.

Damn kd with the monumental flop.

And john wall choked big time :mad:

Post #720 » by **IggieCC** » Thu May 8, 2014 4:28 am

That's actually an offensive foul by KD.

But you know, Jordan will be suspended for game 3 for disrespecting MVP. 8-)
