    So outside of the Spurs, tell me a team that runs their offense the same way the full 48 minutes consistently. Please enlighten me.

    The Clips with the best PG in the world jack up jumpers all 4th quarter. They were lucky Crawford made some ridiculous jumpshots.

    And if you don't notice, the 2 time championship Heat do that A TON.

    That's cause Brooks is average.

    I could coach the Heat too.

    Only Pops and Carlisle are the only upper echelon coaches.
    And then I think it's Doc, who I think is also a bit overrated.
    and the rest of the league is filled with JAGs, or JACoach.

    Why is Chuck so scared to critize NBA Refs?

    Nobody. And nobody here is saying there is. You're debating a straw man.

    Here is the point: Tell me a team who's offense lacks motion like OKC's.

    You can't.

    Clips lost tonight because they played the score late and made some very dumb decisions.

    Exactly. When I hear people whine about Brooks, you think anyone else could do better? It'll be the exact thing. Give the ball to Durant/WB.

    Any number of coaches could do better than Bonehead. Easily.

    * nba fans hate dwight and harden and wanted to see them lose to the more likable stars in llliard and aldridge.

    ^ adam silver doesn't want a donald sterlng owned team in the in the wcf/finals

    * the best players in the league having a rematch in the finals

    Why are you changing it to the whole 48 minutes now? I never disagreed with iso ball at the end of the game. You are going to tire players out running that the entire game though. Running plays throughout the game helps get other players involved and gets your key players some easy shots and more rest.

    As far the heat go, LeBron is basically a one man show. KD is nice but he can't create for others like LeBron can.

    The Miami Heat. It's Lebron or bust pretty much.

    And the Nets. Iso Joe.

    Or the Pacers. Drible dribble dribble and pass.

    Or the Heat. Melo as ball stopper.

    Or Houston. No need to explain.

    Chicago. No need to explain.

    Toronto. Lowry/Derozan or bust.

    How much more do you want me to go into?

    I hope Lebron eats him for breakfast, KD doesnt deserve to get to the finals in the first place.

    Pathetic

    I don't think the NBA will be sad at all if Clips are eliminated either. League probably tired of the circus surrounding the Clips organization taking attention away from the playoffs.

    Chris Paul choked just like Lin, Bev, and Wall but at least those dudes are young with little playoff experience....Whats CP3's excuse??

    Just awful plays down the stretch from the supposed PG GOAT...Rondo doesnt make those mistakes

    it would've benefited the Clips if the refs didn't f it up in the beginning and just called the foul. put the pressure on Jackson at the line to tie it up while also giving the Clips the last shot for the win. it was pretty much a snowball effect when they f it up and now we have this crapshow.

    No the complaints that people make here mostly is how OKC's offense goes to a standstill late in games b/c of iso ball. It's either iso Durant or iso WB.

    My point is pretty much every team that has a star goes into iso ball mode.

    Watch the Nets or the Heat. Watching the game yday was like Joe Johnson v. Lebron James 1-on-1 in the last 5 minutes.
