    Oh great, more rest for the Warriors. This gives the Warriors more time to heal and get energized. Way to go Utah Azz...

    It seems pedestrian compared to what Harden and even Westbrook does, doesn't it?

    I think it's more of a testament to the year those two guys had though, CP3 was great tonight.

    cp3 was phenomenal tonight and has been the whole series though. 27-10-6 on 53/44/92 with only 2 turnovers a game? and the only other creator is a 40 year jamal crawford?

    Honestly, I see where you are coming from. But personally, I hate the Clippers more than any NBA team. They need to be put out of their misery. I got respect for Utah and wish to see how they matchup with GS to see something new.

    I do like Blake and DJ though.

    i'm not sure the point you're trying to make though. trying to discredit cp3 this game/series is crazy. and i didn't say he had no help, but it's amazing the efficiency he's putting up when their only other creator on the team is a washed up, inconsistent crawford. check the #'s

    my bad man its hard to tell. i know people hate cp3 and some of it is well-deserved but he keeps on impressing me.

    and yeah definitely not transcendent but when you got hubie brown commentating games, dude will pretty much exaggerate any and every thing.

    I feel like Warriors-Clips will be like Cavs-Raptors, and Warriors-Jazz would be like Cavs-Bucks could have been. We all want to see something new because we know what will happen with the old. Fake hustle 5 game series.

    CP3 is not getting any younger, man.

    Ppl forget that he was MVP about 8 or 10 years ago.

    I agree.

    Also, CP3, Blake and Reddick are probably done as a team even if they reach the second round, they're going to get swept hard by the Warriors and at least one or two of them will leave anyway, imo they're done regardless of what they do in the next game.

    Utah on the other hand...reaching the second round might be a deciding factor for Hayward and we better hope he leaves, even if he doesn't consider us, Hayward to Boston means we have a lot more chances with George or another free agent in 12 months.

    Yeah, saw that now, even though it's more about this playoffs, might be declining or the fact that Utah is a pretty solid defensive team

    It wasn't just him. It was his entire team. It's crazy that until halfway through the 2014-2015 season, the Clippers were the Rockets' kryptonite. They were an even tougher matchup than the Warriors are now(at least we occasionally beat them).

    I agree with you, finally someone who sees the green light on this situation.

    So we all know McHale can make anyone a prolific scorer. Just give him the green light. We all know what JJ was doing back at Duke, and if you don't, my GOD, go watch highlights. That fool when playing in Duke was the reason I got into college basketball.

    Anyways, if Griffin and Chronicles of Riddick want to restructure their future in a positive way, they gotta come to Houston and help Dr. Beard out.

    Staples Center crowd is garbage. It's a game 7 and yet sounds like an exhibition game.
