    CP3's teams have a long record of joking in the playoffs, though. It's not a knee-jerk to say that.

    I do think the Clippers will win this series, but I wouldn't be astonished if they lost. 60-40 in their favor at this point.

    Refs screwed a lot of calls in this game. Some of the calls like offensive charging is really uncalled for because clearly the defenders haven't got their feet set yet...they're still moving.

    While there is not doubt that GSW can get hot, esp with the raucous crowd @Oracle, Griffin can score almost at will on anyone GSW puts on him. That's why his foul trouble hurt so much today-- he actually played great when he was in. I think the refs will be on mandate to keep him in the game in game 2 and he will put up 30+ and the Clippers will win going away. I just don't see how GSW can contain him if he is allowed to play.

    First takeaway from Clips series - if Clips are gonna win, they gotta find someone else to guard Curry. Collison can’t be that guy.

    CP3 will have to take that burden on for himself. Clips can’t play JJ, Collison and CP3 vs GSW’s big SF and SG

    Whatever. Didn't Kobe shoot like 3/17 in the last NBA final game he played in?

    No. But I hold you guys accountable for being knee jerk queens. So what the Clippers lost game 1 with several bad calls down the stretch. Did you forget that it's a 7 game series?

    The Clippers are a superior team to GSW and have a better coach. GSW is dangerous and may win another game or two but that's about it. As much as I would love to see GSW upset the Clippers, I don't see it happening so like I said it's just 1 game. Long series.

    Hey guys, it's all good. The league decided it was a foul after all so I'm sure they'll go ahead and give the Clippers the win. 1-0 Clippers.

    Thanks for doing the right thing, NBA!

    That's why this knee jerk off is even more funny. GSW won, but there were some blatant bad calls against the clips. I would not be shocked to see the Clippers win the next 4 games but will probably win it in 6.

    TNT execs just realized that they are allowed to put games on NBA TV when the first ones go long.
