Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
Agreed FAH. I'd much rather watch the Spurs, though I feel sorry for the plight of la Clips. Talk about getting tough early round draws.

The Nets aren't even trying in this game.. just awful for them to play so lazy in front of their home fans.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
atlanta will be a tough assignment. they move the ball around quickly, and have several players who can hit from deep.. and can slash to the hoop

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
Spurs Clippers Game 7 was amazing.
Hated the Duncan foul on CP's jumpshot, it was late. But he got fouled and drilled two FTs at the other end. Then CP made a tough shot to win the series.
Rockets-Clippers will be pretty unwatchable.

Just finished watching it. One of the best games i have seen in a long time. They could make a half hour highlight vid just from that game. Seemed like every player on both teams really stepped up to the challenge.

Looking forward to the Cavs vs Bulls game tonight. I will be checking out the supposedly re-born Rose, and the Cavs w/o Love.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
Now the Clips have to face Houston. Who do they put on Harden. No way Reddick or Crawford can cover him. I guess Barnes will be the man, and he might be able to do it. But that'll leave a guard covering Ariza. A3za might have to be the man to step up and force the Clips hand.

Scout out our opponents for the conference finals.

I'm just dreading the hack-a-Howard AND hack-a-Jordan in the same series.

I expect Houston will take out the Clippers in 5 or 6 games.
Ariza, Jones, Brewer, and Josh Smith are long and they excel in transition. Most of them are reliable deep ball shooters. DeAndre Jordan will get in foul trouble. Big Baby will be slow on defense. Redick is about to be shut down. Dwight Howard is going to outplay Jordan. Harden is going to be a beast.
I give the Clips not a good enough chance this series.

Out of all the lineup options the Cavs had, one featuring Miller starting is probably the worst.

Rose and Gasol are killing it
Butler is playing amazing D on LeBron
Noah is lost out there.

Rose stinks as a playmaker, but at least they'll take game 1.

If we are lucky enough to get past Atlanta and face the Bulls it will be like an early Christmas present. Barkley called it at halftime. Rose takes his teamates out of the game.
Butler and Gasol were a combined 15-22. Rose was 11-26.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
LMAO @ Hou-LA. LA intentionally fouled Josh Smith to put him at the line. Harden starts talking to the Clippers bench. Sure enough when Smith misses the 2nd foul shot and Jordan gets the rebound Houston immediately fouled Jordan in retaliation.
Never seen anything like that.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
there has been a noticeable lack of complaining from the Clippers players tonight. They're almost likeable. I guess Chris Paul is the ring leader in their whining fest.
