Sounds like what Durant had. Not good news if it is.

Durant was able to walk by himself after that game or at the halftime already? If I remember correctly he was not able to walk he was with crutches.

I think this is a lot better for Gobert than it was with Durant.

Yeah - he was pissed. Dude is fed up w/ losing it seems. Having a great game but still losing somehow, especially when you should have won because your opponent lost their most impactful player in the first play of the game, has got to really wear on you.

Sad, but true.

Just. . . Just, what? Blake and his injuries are what's causing whatever he's talking about, not Paul. Chris Paul was unbelievable tonight, he's been great in the playoffs for awhile. It's not his fault that his teammates are always injured or struggling.

Well a little less than half the time (in the playoffs) he's also injured too, but unless a player injures themselves stupidly, or are injured due to not taking care of their body, I don't really blame them for getting injured.

Maybe Gobert is actually fine, and this was a bold Quin Snyder strategy.

Right, and I'm not blaming Blake or anyone else for being injured, that happens, look at Gobert tonight. I'm just saying that he's been very unlucky in terms of the playoffs, just last year he AND Blake were injured in the first round if I remember correctly. The one or two years they were all healthy, they made deep runs or really challenged incredibly good teams like the Rockets, Thunder, Spurs. The Clippers in general have just been unlucky during the CP3 era. Which sucks cause I really like the Clippers and CP3 is my favorite player. I think they could've won a championship if not for a few unlucky things.

Wow.

Jazz have stolen HCA without Gobert! Rest him now until.game three (sounds like he's not heavily injured).

This Jazz team are serious fighters. I seriously think they are a danger to any team in the playoffs.

Clippers. Wow. Doc needs to go.

It is a bit unfair how Paul waited until close to the end of the game to turn it up in agression. The lasting memory of fans is the most recent Blake held the team up early but Paul does need to be there gunning for his shot.

DEEP3CL · Post #691 » by **DEEP3CL** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 6:16 am

I picked the Clippers to win this series but what could hurt them the most reared it's head...weakness at the 3 and spotty shooting from Crawford and Reddick. Perfect example about 3 weakness was when Mbah a Moute bricked that wide open 3 he's going to continue to see from the Jazz. And Crawford couldn't hit to save his life, Reddick was a non factor down stretch.

The Clippers are so predictable, you knew it was going to be Griffin or Paul trying to make plays and all Griffin was doing was that same old back down and try to spin...all he did was get stripped repeatedly.

correct me if I'm wrong but.. Joe Johnson scored more points than the Clippers bench combined?

Anyway amazing game.

Griffin is an outdated PF. Not a great defender, not an elite playmaker, can't shoot threes, and scores on difficult contested 2 point shots. Just not that effective in 2017.

Griffin would have been much better 20 years ago. Nobody is holding him back, in fact Paul would be better off with a sidekick who can pop as well as roll.

Lets not get carried away he is one of the best passing big game in the game

clippers just furthered my belief of how Disgraceful they play. Horrid ball movement and terrible sets. Yes chris paul plays hard but plays wrong. He doesn't have to be playing the way he does, which is holding on to that ball for a good chunk of that clock. Offense looks real ugly, hopefully jazz advance so we don't have to see griffin do another predictable post move. At least jazz make beautiful basketball plays.

He also has expanded his range to include the 3 ball. His main weakness is turning the ball over- he dribbles into trouble too often and doesn't pass out of double teams quickly enough

Chris Paul needs to go back to Nola. Paul Davis Cousins, that's the big 3 he deserves, Blake and DeAndre are not cut out for this.

I mean how can a 32 yr old midget PG be the best defender on his team, he's simply incredible.

Didn't he just hit 2/3 3 3PT this game? Isn't he one of the issues best passing big men? He was 36th in the league in APG, 3rd among big men, what do you call that? Didn't be just average 3.0 3PA/G and shoot 37.1% 3PT over the last 30 games of the season?
