NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder (#2) vs Los Angeles Clippers (#3) Playoff Series Thread

[Clipper Nation]

at least 4 out of the last 10 possessions went to Jamal Crawford on some ISO bull , including a Turnobili-esque 3 point heave. But even then, if Blake is truly the other star, he needs to post up and call for the ball. You can't go hide under the basket.

As if that control-freak glory-hog Choke Paul was ever going to actually let Blake upstage him....

I'll just bet you think people value your respect.

I could care less if you did. After all. Its MY opinion.

[TampaDude]

Yeah, it was a ty call, but that's Tony Brothers for ya. Clips should've never been in that position, anyway.

Spurs, please take note if you haven't already: DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME IN THE HANDS OF THE REFS BECAUSE THEY WILL ASS YOU EVERY ING TIME WITHOUT FAIL!

[HI-FI]

Caught the 1st qtr where it was obvious OKC was being kept in the game. Tuned back in for the 4th and the laugh riot that was the last 3 mins tbh...

At the end of the day, nobody should be surprised at a) CP2ndRound choking in a crucial playoff game b) the most ref-aided team in the shot clock era getting every call down the stretch.

about sums it up.

lol "we"

lol thinking this was worst than 6

lol got

It wasn't worse in the meaning of the game, but fundamentally, it was. A bigger lead was lost in more time. Also, we got outplayed while the Clips just choked, period.

[Jacob1983]

I think the last minute proves how flawed and massively overrated Chris Paul is. He can't get it done. I just laugh at the whole "best leader in the NBA" compliments. Chris Paul can't lead anything.

[Mikeanaro]

Indeed. I could say worse but I'll leave it at that.

To be honest. Chris Paul is the sole reason why that team is still in this series. I'm not going to place any blame on him. In fact, without him destroying the Thunder by annihilating any chance the officials had of controlling game 1, they'd be done by today. The Clippers are the better team with the better offense. The Grizzlies were the better team despite their atrocious offense. I don't forget what I've seen and all I've seen here is people complain and forget what they seen. Chris Paul is a great point guard and will continue to be a great point guard. I believe the Clippers are one great two guard from a championship.

However, during the regular season I admit that Clippers get away with being -bags in the regular seasons. Most of its Blake Griffin and sometimes its Chris Paul and Barnes.

I use to respect Oklahoma City...till I realized how much the NBA helps them get to where they are. They surely aren't even a top 5 team in the league. I have zero respect at all. I have watched more than 200 OKC games and it is too much to bare.

By "SouthPark" rule, OKC...is the Turd Sandwich and Clippers are the bag. I choose bag...and its not even close. At least you can't see the in the bag..whereas with okc you can see all the Turd Sandwich from the side. I guess the officials are the crust or something.

Well..that's my final note on this game.

Good points
This is extreme, after the Big 3 retires Im done with basketball, tired with the whole ¨circus fouls¨ and 6´8¨ guys crying like girls for calls.
OKC gets no respect from me either, refs/league are trying to crown them with something they dont deserve/earned, Stern is no longer around but still all the same WWE.
They past thru Memphis thanks to refs, now Clippers, then SA.
Mr Reliable 6/22 them.

[Clipper Nation]

A two-guard is not our problem.... the big issue is that we've been absolutely cursed at the small forward position for as long as I can remember - every SF we've brought in has turned to absolute ....

[ElNono]

This is the side replay I was talking about, tbh...

so TNT and the world gets to see 3 angles but refs only get to see 2? Got it.

Bill Simmons before the game...

@BillSimmons 3h Bennett Salvatore, Tom Washington and Tony Brothers reffing a genuinely important NBA playoff game - what could possibly go wrong?

The lousy refs are about to ruin one team's season. Lock it down. I am assigning @Jpdabrams the Game 5 oral history right now to save time.

‏@BillSimmons 2h You can't assign these 3 guys to THIS game. You just can't. I am so disappointed.

‏@BillSimmons 1h That was all-time bad. I'm staying off Twitter.

I'd honestly feel worse if the Clippers weren't the 2nd biggest collection of gots in the NBA this season tbh

How funny is it though that it's public knowledge those refs are crap? I'm not even saying biased, just plain awful...

[Mugen]

Jacob, tonight's game confirms you're Chris and I'm Cliff at this year's Halloween party tbh.

i was trying to include all his tweets but I got too lazy trying to embed, plus I'm packing. You guys both called this one before and after.

Simmons has a huge platform to talk about these things. He has a genuine love for the game, plus he's pointed out some of the Laker bs over the years, so I think he will bring this up again. Should be interesting.

[Sean Cagney]

Chris Paul tried to pull this kind of bs, instead of just taking a real foul

His 360 spin flop on Oberto in 08 is still epic IMO, I had a gif of it somewhere and someone had it as a sig in here. That one was just comedy.


Bad habits

[Mugen]

Bill Simmons won't say tbh. Probably end up deleting his tweets like the ESPN cuck that he is.

[ElNono]

tbh, if we get Salvatore and Tony Brothers suspended for the remainder of the playoffs, I'm good with that...
