Battle of LA Monkeyballers presented by You Didn't Build That

[ElNono]

No Hill, Odom or Billups for the Clippies, all nursing different injuries.

Mik:lol Br:lolwn facing his first 7 game losing streak of this young season.

Game starts at 10:30ET and will be broadcast on NBATV.

Both teams playing at home, so no excuses, tbh, kthx

[purplengold]

not da season yet

[ElNono]

hi kool

[purplengold]

dat supposed to be an insult?

[ElNono]

you figure it out, kool

[jeebus]

you figure it out, kool
Are you trying to kill the hamster running in his head, struggling to hold things together? You should've just asked him to describe the combustion engine.

diesel or gas? Shits different

[Clipper Nation]

No Kobe OR Dwight for the Lakies either, tbh....

:lol

[ElNono]

No Kobe OR Dwight for the Lakies either, tbh....

didn't know that tbh... should be an easy win for your team

[Banzai]

cool.

[racm]

DeAndre Jordan gonna go HAM over Gas:loll, tbh...

[Venti Quattro]

Kobe and Dwight are not playing.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Griffin setting the tone with an and-one (tuned in late and only saw the score)

[Clipper Nation]

Also, :lmao at Vinny and CP3 calling out that douche Arash Markazi:


When I was late to a Clippers practice a few weeks ago after stopping by the Lakers’ practice facility, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro asked me: “What were you doing? Kissing the Lakers’ a—— again?”

When I was late to an event Chris Paul had last weekend because I took in Dwight Howard’s debut with the Lakers, Paul looked at me and said sarcastically: “The Lakers are more important, huh? You had to go see Dwight’s debut? It’s all good.”

[Venti Quattro]

It's nice to see Jordan Hill back.

[Venti Quattro]

& I like what I'm seeing from Sacre. He's gonna make the roster as a 2nd/3rd string center. The objective is to develop him to slide Hill and Jamison to 4 and 3 respectively.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Deandre Jordan is wildly unspectacular.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's nice to see Jordan Hill back.
:tu

[DeadlyDynasty]

Jordan Hill puts in great work for the minutes he gets. Dude is a monster on the boards...our scrubs are gonna be somewhat decent this year.

[Banzai]

lol barnes...wtf happened to him?

[Killakobe81]

Killa, right about that Bledsoe ... LOL Aminu. Wink.

[ElNono]

sup Kila.... Clippers starting to monkeyball

[Venti Quattro]

lol barnes...wtf happened to him?

[Clipper Nation]

Deandre Jordan is wildly unspectacular.
He's having a so-so game tonight but Monkeyball Jordan has actually looked new and improved this preseason, tbh...

[Killakobe81]

Sup, El ... Glad to see Clips play well they ate pretty deep. But I doubt Barnes and Odom stop them from losing to a well coached team like the spurs, last playoffs. They need face uptempo teams like Nuggs or Okc to have a shot.

[Banzai]

Not sure if its me...but even though its Preseason..Nash looks..well...nashty..

[ElNono]

No CP3 and half their bench is pretty much hurt. I think they're good. I think Bledsoe is legit and has a high ceiling. Vinny is obviously the weak link, but barring injuries, I think they can be much better than last season.

[Banzai]

Is Sacre arab?

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Clippers taking pity on the Lakers and handing them a moral victory

[Banzai]

:lol Clippers taking pity on the Lakers and handing them a moral victory

what?

[ElNono]

this game needs more monkeyballing, tbh

[Banzai]

this game needs more monkeyballing, tbh
probably saving for the regular season tbh

[Clipper Nation]

Bledsoe is balling on these bitches right now, tbh.... 8 steals...

[Bynumite]

Started watching the game now, so which Laker got dunked on by monkeyball?

[Killakobe81]

I agree though undersized he is a great athlete with a high motor. That is why I argued Hornets were dumb not to insist on Bledsoe over Aminu. Gordon Rivers, Bledsoe is a nice guard rotation. People on here Nola fans and some Spur ones likemy huckleberry argued he was a bench scrub.

[Banzai]

lol barnes..too bad he didn't play this well when he was a Laker.

[Venti Quattro]

Are the Clippers already up by 50?

[ElNono]

Very impressed with his defense. Like you said, high motor, but not just on offense.

[Venti Quattro]

Sacre with the back-up center goods. :tu

[ElNono]

Lakers bench bent over twice already....

[Trainwreck2100]

guys i think banzai is having a stroke

[Banzai]

hollins with the flop!

[Clipper Nation]

Bledsoe is a steal away from a triple-double...

[Killakobe81]

Dumb to play Pau and MWP this late ...

[Clipper Nation]

Dumb to play Pau and MWP this late ...

Mike Cl:lolwn is desperate for just one single preseason win....

[Killakobe81]

LOL Metta but if ball is deflected that timer should be reset, bad call. LOL winless in pre-season

[Venti Quattro]

Killakobe81 and DeadlyDynasty, what do you think about Sacre? He gon make an impact for the bench?

:lmao Artest
:lmao 5 second violation

[Clipper Nation]

That lob was SICK AS FUCK....

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Ron you need to see your shrink again ASAP. That was 3 dumb plays in a row. The objective of the pre-season is to get execution streamlined...

[Banzai]

Bledsoe-43 minutes

[Killakobe81]

I like Sacre our two best centers have sensitive backs a decent though limited big like Sacre is a good quality asset to have. Hill played well Blake too just way too many turnovers.

[Trainwreck2100]

you pnlf are acting kinda gnsfish tbqh

[purplengold]

like wat I was seein from sacre, hill n Meeks. it ain't an awful job from bench

[LkrFan]

Missed the game. Box score watching. Did the 60th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft really outplay the Clippers starting center? Let's see...

Sacre
13 pts (6/9 FGAs)
7 rebs
1 swat

J:lolrdan
8 pts (4/6 FGAs)
7 rebs
1 swat

Yep, he did. Clipper Nati:loln

[Latarian Milton]

the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while. it's just a preseason game and it doesn't mean much to outplay jordan who's also overrated to some extent. it looks to me that jordan is just another player who benefits from playing with a great player (monkeyball)

[Medvedenko]

Have to admit that the Clipshow is deep. I love Bledsoe's game and with more maturation he could become a starting PG in the leage. Definately an impact player on both ends, namely Defense.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Killakobe81 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=10786) and DeadlyDynasty (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=15365), what do you think about Sacre? He gon make an impact for the bench?

:lmao Artest
:lmao 5 second violation
If he's at least serviceable off the bench then I think he could be somewhat effective in limited minutes.

[Clipper Nation]

I'd still like to see him start at the 2, tbh... I feel like it'd be a more athletic, uptempo version of the CP3/Chauncey backcourt.....

^ Deep but more importantly undisciplined...between Odom, Barnes, Butler, and Crawford they have a collective IQ of about 69..if Phil Jackson was coaching them right now I'd be concerned...but for crying out loud they have a guy named Vinny Del Negro...:lol

Our starting 5 should be enough to run-away from the Clippas....Dwight > Jordan and Blake...which pretty much leaves Gasol to add the icing to the cake...

CP3 is a good passer and facilitator but when passing to low IQ guys it balances out...I still pick the Grizzles over the CLippas...

[Koolaid_Man]

Take a look at Bledsoe's stats while you're at it, B.... :lol


Problem for you is CP3 will be playing and CP3 is an easier match-up for Nash...however, Bledsoe can't lead a team to the play-offs so for you it's literally damed if you do or damed if you don't...

[Clipper Nation]

You still pick the Grizzlies over us when they lost OJ Mayo and we beat them with OJ last year? Another shitful take from Kool, tbh.... :lol

[Koolaid_Man]

You still pick the Grizzlies over us when they lost OJ Mayo and we beat them with OJ last year? Another shitful take from Kool, tbh.... :lol

Mayo wasn't their main contributor...You guys were lucky...you beat them because Nick Young caught fire like lightning in a bottle...but guess what Nick Young doesn't play for you anymore...The Grizzles starting 5 is better than yours in my opinion...with the emergence of Rudy Gay I see no way you guys beat them...they are very good down low you don't have the bigs to compete...and bigs off the bench...unless you're relying on Jordan...:lol in a tight series give me Zach over Blake all day ere day...they have the right balance of offense and defense especially with Tony Allen...dude is a beast defensively...

Gasol
Zach
Conley Jr
Allen
Gay

[scanry]

Dude, CP3 will own Nash. Bledsoe can do even better if he uses his brain. Too bad, he's too dumb.

I like our starting 5 in the playoffs as we're built for that. The reg season on the other hand I'd give the nod to the clip show as of right now due to our recent injury woes.

[Koolaid_Man]

Dude, CP3 will own Nash. Bledsoe can do even better if he uses his brain. Too bad, he's too dumb.


^ He will no such thing...in fact he never has...Nash beats Paul in assists while Paul may score a few more baskets per game which is only marginal at best...are you trying to tell me that CP3 is smarter than Nash...no one believes that...he's younger but that's really it...Nash is still at this age a better facilitator and floor general than CP3... Just look at what Nash did when he was the clear leader of his team vs what CP3 accomplished in NO...plus Nash is a better shooter...

with our defensive rotations (help) this will negate any real advantage that CP3 or any others guards have for that matter...fact is CP3 is no longer a prime time penetrating guard like WestBrook or Rondo...those guys are the ones that I worry about more...and if push comes to shove we'll just put Kobe on CP3 and that will completely shut him down...just like Kobe shut down Westbrook last season when he kept torching Sessions...

[whitemamba]

i really dont want to see kobe picking up any point guards, we have to rely heavily on our frontcourt to rotate and communicate.. kobe is a great defender no question, he can shut down any opposing PG.. but that shouldnt be his job, and the debate between nash and cp3 needs to be put to rest, nash is lightyears ahead of paul when it comes to controlling the game and ball iq.

^ I agree...but if the game is on the line and we need Mamba to step up...he will..there's not a PG in the league that a 34 yr old Kobe ca't shut down if given the assignment..He proved it last season when he completely had to shut down not only Westbrook but Ty Lawson as well because they abused Sessions so bad...those are some of the fastest PG's in the league...and at 34 my Nigga can stay in front of them...:toast

Sup with CP3's extension hommie? He has a $17M expiring contract. (http://hoopshype.com/salaries/la_clippers.htm) Why did he not sign an extension over the summer? Factors he will likely consider when making his decision:

:lol Donald Sterling is no Dr. Jerry Buss
:lol Clippers have 8 playoff appearances in 41 years
:lol Clippers have 2 playoff teams since they moved to LA
:lol Jrdan making $22.3M in the next 2 years


Unlike D12 with the Lakers, he gone. This will be the last year of having any relevancy for the Clippers. I'm guessing Bledsoe will be the starter in 2013 and not CP3. :downspin: that shit. :lol

There is no good matchup for Nash on defense in the whole league...


kobe is a great defender no question, he can shut down any opposing PG.

Fact: another shitful take from the Lakertrolls.... he can sign for more years and money this coming offseason than he would have last summer.... Lakerfan should know this because Dwight is in the exact same contract situation.... :lol

17 million a year aint enough? dwight is a lock, everyone knows that.. maybe knicks, or mavs u neva know

[Clipper Nation]

17 million a year aint enough? dwight is a lock, everyone knows that.. maybe knicks, or mavs u neva know

Where's the $17 million a year thing coming from? The most we could have given CP3 this past summer was $60 million/3 years... by waiting for this upcoming summer, he can sign with the Clippers for $105 million/5 years....

[ElNono]

dwight is a lock

Dwight looks like a lock, but he's gonna ask for the keys to the mansion... we'll see what the kobester thinks about that.

he makes 17 million this year.. he denied the extension for a 1 more million per year??? thats fishy son

[Clipper Nation]

he makes 17 million this year.. he denied the extension for a 1 more million per year??? thats fishy son

No... he denied the extension for the ability to sign for two more years, dumbass... plus, that's the best contract he can possibly get, due to the CBA....

[whitemamba]

No... he denied the extension for the ability to sign for two more years, dumbass... plus, that's the best contract he can possibly get, due to the CBA....

2 more years? im pretty sure if he really wanted to stay he would of signed the extension and focused on basketball. the fact is cp3 is going to be a big asset this year, and a lot of teams are going to be throwing that max at him.. is he really happy being in the shadow of kobe and the lakers, then dwight and the lakers.. everyone in the world and LA know that the lakers play for rings kid... clippers play for bananas

[Clipper Nation]

2 more years? im pretty sure if he really wanted to stay he would of signed the extension and focused on basketball.
Guess Dwight doesn't really want to stay either, by that logic....


the fact is cp3 is going to be a big asset this year, and a lot of teams are going to be throwing that max at him..
But yet, by the rules of the new CBA, no team can give him a better offer than the Clippers.... and furthermore, pretty much every team that could actually afford him would be a downgrade...

[whitemamba]

really>? dwight is the example your using? his situation was as bad as lebrons.. he decided to just stfu and say, i want to play basketball now.. when the time comes ill deal with it.

downgrade? i beg to differ superteams are rising.. wouldnt be surprised to see him and someone zip of to a new city tbh.

[LkrFan]

Fact: another shitful take from the Lakertrolls.... he can sign for more years and money this coming offseason than he would have last summer.... Lakerfan should know this because Dwight is in the exact same contract situation.... :lol

Let's see, on one hand, player A can resign with the Donald Sterling Clippers for max money. OTOH, player B can sign resign with the Lakers for max money. Which player has the toughest decision to make? I guarantee you player B resigns with the Lakers. Can you - with a straight face - say the same about CP3? :lol

[LkrFan]

Dwight looks like a lock, but he's gonna ask for the keys to the mansion... we'll see what the kobester thinks about that.

Keys to the mansi:loln? Kobe's deal expires in 2014 when he is like 35. Dwight's new deal would start one year prior when he is like 28. I don't see the problem. Even if Kobe reups with a hometown discount, it is clear that this will be Dwight's team.

[Clipper Nation]

Let's see, on one hand, player A can resign with the Donald Sterling Clippers for max money.

Donald Sterling: senile

CP3:

From his perch at the head table, CP3 assures me that he preferred the Clippers to the Lakers all along. "They had the better pieces," he says, "and winning with the Clippers would be legendary."

Dwight:

Dwight Howard admitted Thursday that he wanted to be traded from the Orlando Magic to the Brooklyn Nets.

Howard, who was ultimately dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers, said, "I did want to go to Brooklyn. That's a place where I told the Magic that I really wanted to go," to Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco on ESPN NewYork 98.7 FM.

[Banzai]

Legendary because it will never happen?

Kobe's deal expires whenever he says it expires, tbh... which is likely after he feels satisfied chasing the records he's chasing. For example, if he feels like chasing that 6th or 7th title, he might play another 6 or 7 years...

What we know though, is that in his desperation to look alpha he'll bitch and moan non-stop. I mean, this is a guy that ejected the 3-peat Phil/Shaq. Howard is a small fish in comparison, tbh
