Well, I included Griffin in the starting lineup, but it's doubtful he's going to play. The season is on the line after winning the first two then losing the last three. We have to figure out how to maintain their bigs from scoring and rebounding so much and hopefully Paul can get some help from his teammates this time around.

Sack up or pack up

All or nothing.

Vinny should start Willie instead. Billups has been garbage.

[Neddy]

vinny doesn't have the balls to start willie when we are faced with elimination. start the player that is deemed superior with finals MVP under his resume and lose... he can cry to DTS that it's the players who failed him. start a lesser known player and lose... the blame lies with him. vinny will do everything he can to save his job first, before risk everything to increase our chance to win.

besides, high ankle sprain isn't the same as a broken non shooting hand. you can run and set screens and can shoot and make layups if you can handle the pain, but you can't even jump for a rebound or put weight on the injured foot to box out a NBA big let alone run effectively.

it is what it is, hope for the best but prepare for the worst. at least i believe we've had vinny this season just to let CP3 pick his own coach to entice him back with us. let's just hope gary sacks can make cheap tightass DTS to open up his wallet to build a better roster, and not get in the way of trading DJ and Caron away.

I hope the players give it there absolute all. No excuses.

Last game of the season. That's the way the players should be playing it like. Last chance to survive.

I was thinking we should start Bledsoe at the 2, Push the pace early, CP can work off the ball, and Billups hasn't played well at all but playing with the second unit match up with Keyon Dooling, I'd say he could work do something with that....If he can hit some open shots...

I'm a bit stunned that vinny hasn't shaken things up yet, last year he was having Kenyon and Reggie close out games cuz they we're playing better....

kind of agree with this one...

Just saw game 5,only reason we lost is because of VDN's shocking choice to NEVER double the post,then they went off.Blake couldn't change this game even if he wanted to.
Is SVG a good manager?Would/is he interested in coaching the Clippers because he looks like an amazing coach and has an amazing win percentage

[Angel strike1]

Wana see bit of zone this game.

[mttwlsn16]

Zbo telling Blake it's playoff hoops, like zbo knows sooooo much about winning in the playoffs and getting rings. Fat fk

I'm sounding less and less believable but I honestly just started watching basketball freakishly for about a year now (started in june or july).I learnt about Howard and learnt about SVG and the whole situation with them.Then I realised SVG is an amazing coach.

Still though,if we can get a better coach beginning of this summer and have a full training camp,we'd be contending

[Angel strike1]

Sloan want to coach...

Phil would still be the best but if we can't get him Sloan fits perfect.

[Angel strike1]

Wish I could coach the game would be easy win.

[mttwlsn16]

Any word on Blake?

[mj_shoefanatic]

game time decision is what they say. Hopefully he can muster up enough strength and focus to play through his injury.

[Angel strike1]

Blake will play just hoping he is at least 80 %.


Ergot this yo. Can't wait
