    I meant we'd be 22-17 where they were 21-18.

    Chris Paul wimped out against Westbrook tonight.

    His right knee was intimidated.

    He looked like **** after he got injured against the Warriors last night. He definitely hurt the Clippers more than he helped them in a closely contested game in the 4th quarter.

    Well you dont see that everyday....

    Butler blocks Ibaka's shot.

    The blocked ball smacks the ref right in the face.

    The ref falls flat on on is back like a bowling pin.

    Clippers fans rejoice!

    Blake Griffin just scooped up a rebound, went the length of the floor, Eurostepped and airballed a finger roll.

    Yeah, it's going to be big on YouTube. Someone should have it up any minute. The ref went down like he was shot.

    ^^ That was fast.

    I have to say I am impressed with Griffin's improved post play. He has been taking it to Ibaka the entire game with success.

    He is still not very fluid, and at times can seem out of control, but you can definitely see the improvement.

    LOL what is Griffin doing? CP3 would not have made that pass either.

    He is exhausted. Vinny has been riding him the entire quarter. Blake was holding his shorts during the last play and they had to call a timeout to give him a breather.

    Agree -- Griffin has been very good. He has flaws, but I think it's safe to say the Clippers have two very bright stars. That seems to be mandatory now to be an elite team in the league.

    The Thunder have slipped here a bit, but they were shooting over 58% and have knocked down 10-18 threes.

    That's hilarious, Carl Herrera. Great GIF.

    He's nuts. He hits those threes like they're nothing... like he could launch from 35 with just a flick of the wrist. Shooting nearly 52% and over 40% from three on the season! And that's a guy who gets the bulk of the defense's attention.

    Durant just keeps coming after you. Bucket after bucket after bucket after bucket. He kills you, kills your team, kills your spirit.

    BTW, when did Ibaka expand his game to near the 3 point line?

    OKC-LAC - this is such a good game. KD is cold-blooded and the Clippers have a variety of awesomely fun players to watch (Bledsoe, Griffin, & Crawford).

    I hope KD is calling those bank shots.

    Just this year. He's not good at them, yet. But Ibaka is a gym rat that keeps getting better at everything. I bet in a couple of years he'll be near 40%.

    Definitely has. This Thunder team is very talented up top, and you come off the bench with an efficient scorer in Kevin Martin. A lot will change between now and May in the West, but I'd be surprised if anyone other than them end up in the Finals.

    If OKC wins the Finals this year, I wonder what that would be like for Harden.
