[DMX7]

They covered up the Laker's Championship banners just like all those sponsor's adverts

[Robz4000]

Jesus fuck, the collective IQ of both these teams is lower than Sterling's approval ratings...

[midnightpulp]

DeAndre is an incredibly frustrating player to watch.

[midnightpulp]

The Closer

Take it home, Chris, and make me look like a genius.

[NASpurs]

Only entertaining thing about this series was the racism and now that it's gone, I don't care anymore.

[crc21209]

Paul sure is lucking in alot of jumpshots tonight..

[crc21209]

Only thing entertaining about this series was the racism and now that it's gone, I don't care anymore.

:lol. I wanted to see what happened if the whole Sterling thing wasnt resolved today. Would've been fun to see what would happen, protests, etc..:lol

[midnightpulp]

Nice, Blake.

[Robz4000]

Curry chucking

[NASpurs]

Might as well chant "We are Juan". It's L.A. after all.

[midnightpulp]

Smooth shot. Damn.

[Kyle Orton]

What a stupid fuxking chant

:cry we are one :cry

[Robz4000]

Ginger has really improved tbh. Might be the best offensive bigman in the game.

[midnightpulp]

Uh oh. Hack-a time.

:lol At all these Clippers "fans" that they keep showing close ups of..

[Robz4000]

That's game

[ElNono]

I guess the go-to move to save the season here is to let Curry chuck?

[crc21209]

So is this the rally cry for the Clippers now? :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Real talk, we won this game as soon as Silver said "...FOR LIFE" this morning :lol

Fitting that the longest-tenured Clipper (DJ) would have a huge game on the greatest day in franchise history, tbh....

The rest of the team looked pretty off, settling for too many iso plays and bad shots, but I'll chalk that up to not getting to practice....

[skut_farkus]

What a courageous game from jordan :cry

[Jacob1983]

We Are One is one of the lamest and least original slogans in the history of words. I didn't finish the game. The NBA is officially a joke. I'm tempted to quit but my Mavs, my Mavs and dat 2011 championship are very special to me. Difficult decision.

Don't know for sure, but Twitter claims it's a song called "Not Giving In" by Rudimental....

[Mugen]

The "We are One" chant at the game was cringeworthy as hell tbh. Deandre dominated this game as he should since the Dubs have nobody close to his size/athleticism.

Curry not driving off a screen is just a huge hindrance to his game tbh. His only shots so far come when the defense makes a mistake when doubling him, he's going to have to force the issue for them to have any sort of chance IMO...

It's the NBA's team at the moment. They will showcase this team due to the fact that it caught public eye. Par for the course of any Los Angeles based professional basketball team. They will always get the calls and benefit of doubt.

[Expert]

Are teams throwing games to get to seven games? Some of these plays are highly suspicious, like Portland's last 5 minutes last night where every player just ran down the court and fired up a long contested shot. Not a single pass was made. Then you have the Grizz tonight who played like they didn't care one way or the other, and the Hawks who also didn't really bring it. Now you have the Clippers who are going to lose to the Warriors to get to a game seven at Staples. I'd bet the Mavs win tomorrow to "force" a game seven in San Antonio. Only Miami didn't get the message...or maybe they are the message. Maybe it's an edict that big money pours to franchises who rake in the game take and watch Lebron be ushered into a 3peat, against Kevin Durant, two MVPs fighting it out... that's what the NBA wants.

Never seen such shitty play in big games tbh... even in the Finals last year.

That's a more convenient explanation, but not more parsimonious. That explanation allows the NBA to make more money.

What other game has the unwritten rule that the aggressive team gets more favorable calls? Or that "home cooking" exists, or that stars get special ref treatment, or that refs swallow whistles at crucial points in the game? What other sport do you know all the refs by name, where they have little kissing exhibitions and races, where they are like the bad guys in WWF, where the same guy has been doing it forever and he's ancient, where an official was imprisoned for his illegal betting activities and subsequently spilled the beans? What other sport do you know of where you have to "feel out" the officiating to know what you can and cannot get away with.... "they are letting them play tonight"... or "they are calling it tight tonight"...

How many college refs do you know by name? How many football refs? Exactly... but that's not parsimonious.... teams are just choking so that almost every matchup is going to go seven games and the Memphis series has 4 overtimes, most in the history of the league.

dropping some serious truth bombs.

but curious i thought you said the NBA wasn't rigged? i never thought it was totally rigged, but definitely manipulated, just my belief. I just don't think a billion dollar operation is going to leave everything to chance. But some things they can't control and always have multiple threads/stories if plan A can't happen.

The fact we know the refs and you have guys old as dirt still running around with peak hoodrats is definitely suspect imo.

[TheMACHINE]

Blake Griffin does the dumbest fouls.

[Expert]

I didn't say it was wrong, just unparsimonious. Conspiracy theories require more assumptions than the simple possibility that things just work out the way they do. But, of course, that doesn't prove they are wrong.

So? It's not like there are two competing theories that make sense. The odds of every team choking just at the right time to get to a game seven cannot be higher than the business of the NBA pushing it's product through creative game play and just in time foul calling. One might be a conspiracy, but it's not like I suggested aliens.

I think this first round has been the best I've seen, possibly ever. But if it's all a cash grab to end up with the Magic/Bird 2.0 rivalry with Lebron and Durant, fuck that. If it happens naturally then that's one thing, but when things feel too scripted, that's when I check out.

Normally I'd agree, but for teams like the Spurs (and their fans) with title aspirations its a big set back; their best players are old as it is and having an extended series in the first round takes a lot out of them. Overall its great (for lower seeds and non-playoff teams' fans) but for Spurs/Meth/Clipper/Indy (:lol) its rough.

If it ends up like LeBron vs Durant in June, there might be a hint of "omg what a scripted" but let's be real... it's not like they're not capable of doing this

But the Heat will still Three-Heat.

Just gonna have to see how the officiating shakes out. If Durbeta man's up and plays like the MVP to carry them, ok, but if if they ride the grace of the whistles fuck that.

[Clipper Nation]

By the way, Choke Paul has his yearly "playoff injury" now, so he'll have his excuse in hand if we move on and he gets torched by Westbrook.... this guy is a joke - always looking for the next excuse....

Refs make one or two bad calls here and there but over the course of a 7-game series, it's always a player's game. Championship teams know that while pretenders just continue to whine about the bad calls. I hate teams who get flattened by bad calls; those are faggot teams who don't deserve to win the championship.

basically what Robz said. I'll know it's bullshit if they put Miami into lots of foul trouble while letting OKC get away with its moving screens, goaltending per the par. Because technically Heat are a better version of OKC and should beat them if both teams are relatively healthy. I just want to see a team win it that earns it or deserves it. Hopefully that's the Spurs. The Stern Era was marked with lots of WWE moments, I'm hoping the new Jew is better than that.

[Jacob1983]

Chris Paul is overrated. Plain and simple.

[rogues]

:lol Yeah, parity in the NBA is fun and all but it still doesn't mean much when the Heat steamroll to a 3peat


This
:lol Salty that LeKang will ring again..

[Arcadian]

So? It's not like there are two competing theories that make sense. The odds of every team choking just at the right time to get to a game seven cannot be higher than the business of the NBA pushing it's product through creative game play and just in time foul calling. One might be a conspiracy, but it's not like I suggested aliens.

Well, maybe the West teams are just evenly-matched because it's a highly competitive conference this year. <shrugs> I'm not surprised by the game 7s.

If Monkeyball loses on Saturday, we all know what the excuse will be. It's just pathetic but that's American society for you. Rather than owning up to the fact that their PG is an overrated diva and that their main monkeyballer is a weak forward that desperately wants to be a jump shooter while also dunking and putting on a highlight reel, they will say it was their evil plantation owner's fault.

Their records suggest otherwise.

[DD]

Clippers might end up winning this by 40, but I wouldn't bet a dime on them to close the deal. Can LAC sign Jannero Pargo to a 10-day contract?

[DPG21920]

GS is literally the worst team to go into a G7 with. They are the epitome of a team that is so unpredictable. They can get flukishly hot (even with forcing them to take tough shots) just as much as they can get blown out. Not a good situation for LAC although I fully expect them to beat GS sans Bogut/Hobbled JO.

[TDMVPDPOY]

cp0 will choke and the media next season will still boast about him being the best PG in the league and shit....

[Clipper Nation]

Hopefully after he chokes Game 7 away, Choke Paul will demand a trade so we can dump his choking, cap-hogging ass....

[Mugen]

Why isn't Blake dominating these last couple of games tbh? Sure, Draymond plays him pretty well but that dude's in foul trouble half the game and that leaves David Lee and Mo Speights on supposedly the 3rd best player this season tbh.....

No reason Blake should be fouling out when he's not counted on for rim protection and when GSW is chucking from deep most of the time...

[Malik Hairston]

The Clippers have an out, tbh..

If they lose, the media will certainly blame Chris Paul and Tom Rivers's failures on the Sterling distraction, tbh..

Pretty much.... Choke Paul dodges criticism yet again and will get a free pass as always.... imho, he will always be a loser until he's actually called out for it by the media with nowhere to hide....

GSW has started doubling Blake, and the failure is twofold - the rest of the team has no clue how to make them pay, leading to heroballing by Jamal and Choke, and Blake is panicking and either passing out or trying to back down his man before the doubles come every possession.... I've been screaming at the TV every game for him to face up more, because right now, he's being too predictable....

Honestly though, Blake needs this adversity in order to keep growing as a player, so I'm not hugely concerned.... hopefully he'll finally figure Green out for Game 7.....

As for the fouling out, the officiating this series has been garbage on both sides, both teams' best players are always in foul trouble :lol

This is true tho it helps that M-Jax likes to leave in dudes with 3 or 4 fouls in the 1st quarter tbh....

It also helps that Curry, Green, Lee, and even Iguodala have spent all series flopping on nearly every possession, both offense and defense :lol

[Mugen]

Blake flopped about 3 times on that final David Lee foul last night tbh.....

Lot of floppers in this series, hopefully the Clippers flop to a series win.

[Jacob1983]

I'd love to see the Warriors blow out the Clippers in game 7. Would be awesome.

This is why I'm picking the Warriors to win.... Choke Paul already has his excuses all lined up for him to completely disappear.... this clown is a career loser for life :lol

[HemisfairArena]

Clippers would destroy all the hard work they have done to change the culture of the team and the perception of the organization( Sterling not withstanding) over the past few years if they lose this game 7. Everyone will just say,,,,"same ole Clippers",,,and move on.
