Clippers 99, Grizzlies 98

[SpursDynasty]

They are calling this the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history in the last 10 years and calling it an "upset", but really, tonight's game was no shock. In a 48 minute basketball game, regardless of what the lead was, the Clippers are a better team than the Grizzlies and tonight they proved why. The Grizzlies rely on jump shooting to win games, but tonight, they showed what jump shooting does in the playoffs. Sure, you can come out, shoot some jump shots, make some shots, and get your home crowd pumped up..but what happens when the shots stop falling? Then what?

Blowing a 20+ lead in the second half is what happens. Glad to see that the Clippers have homecourt advantage now, that's the way it should have been from the start. Very pathetic showing from Memphis.

No trash talking here against the Grizzlies. No cheap shots. Nothing personal. The Clippers just went out, played their game, did what they were supposed to do, and beat a team they were supposed to beat. No upsets. No shocks. No big surprises. This is a game the Clippers expected to win, that's all they did, they won. The Grizzlies came in as the underdog in the series. They shouldn't try to make a big story out of the comeback. In a 48 minute game, the better team wins.

That's all that happened. No big shocks, no big comebacks, no big surprises, no trash talking. This wasn't an upset or choke. The Clippers just took care of business and did what they were supposed to do.

Another quality SD take.

A 12 point lead with 2:57 to play is a friggin choke

z-bo just be a cancer tonight as he's supposed to be and he killed his team, nigga can't hit shots and struggled to perform against that nigga reggie evans who grabbed 13 MF'N rebounds tonight which was a game high.

[ElNono]

its not a choke if they weren't supposed to win to begin with. What SD is saying is that the Clippers were just being nice and spotted them 24 points, because they knew they could easily come back from that.

A legend returns.

We need a Spurs Dynasty on the Lakers, though. Always classic.

[MavDynasty]

Sup Jeff, how's the bww gig?

[Jacob1983]

This was worse than the Mavs and Blazers last year.

[100%duncan]

Memphis is the better team tbh.

troll doesn't feel authentic ever since timvp took over it

And always usually wrong.

[TDMVPDPOY]

choke or whatever you wanna call it, blowing 20pt leads happens very often man....doesnt make it any difference whether it was a playoff game or reg game, shit happens...

[Mr. Body]

Memphis is the better team. The Clips looked horrible for most of the game, but Memphis fell for the security of so many shots going in - from everywhere - early on.

Still kind of thinking LAC is crap, but this might have burned Memphis's mojo. This could be the series to watch in the first round.

[TDMVPDPOY]

calling it the biggest comeback is what the NBA is tryin to market this years playoff with so many franchise players from playoff teams out injured and nothing to market about, nothing beats sugarcoating the piece of shit thats been exposed all season to get viewers back....

seriously who wants to see 2 flopping bitches who make hollywood actors look like amateur actors

[mavs>spurs]

Lol stern ending roses career this is like McMahon and the Montreal screw job lmao!

[100%duncan]

^ Michaels would have won that match even if Vince didn't get involved tbh

[TDMVPDPOY]

some clown on betfair had clippers 1000/1 when they were down +20pts....lol some clown milked it

[100%duncan]

[MI21]

Nick Young was just making the shots he was supposed to. No surprises, nothing to see here.

[Mark in Austin]

Chris Paul confirms his status as biggest diva in the league w/ that post game interview w/ Sager tbh.

[100%duncan]

^ what he said?

[Budkin]

My favorite thing on this forum is seeing a new thread by SpursDynasty. No surprises here.

[Spurs9]

Clippers were supposed to win? Memphis gave that game away, they were smoking the Clippers. I expected Memphis to win this series. We will see how it turns out, if Memphis played like last year they would come out of this series easily.

[m>s]

^ memphis ain't never that good in the first place, they upset them spurs last year because the spurs choked. shit happened but you can't expect it to happen a 2nd time tbh. z-bo played at MVP level in the series against spurs last year but right now, he's just a cancer to his team getting shitted on by reggie FUCKING evans

[_JaG]

In a 48 minute game, the better team wins.

This particular gem is my favorite.
