Umm...are we sure the clippers are any good? Down by 29 at half. They blew that game vs Warriors, then lost against Portland and now they are getting rolled at home.
They are a clone of the 2014-2015 Rockets A team left for dead in the offseason that nobody thought had a prayer, yet are finding ways to win.
The East is a Beast. There are like 8 eastern teams right now that can potentially beat every western team except the Spurs and the Warriors.
At least the Rocketscan hope to have DMO coming back, Howard beginning to play back 2 backs and rounding into shape, Bev coming back, and hopefully Lawson beginning to play well. Clippers look bad with their completed roster
Doc Rivers should be gone soon. Shows you how much coaching matters when a guy like Doc Rivers is respected in his league lol. Dude doesn't have a clue.
Clippers are legit NBA Championship contenders. - Media every year and every year they don't advance past the 2nd round
Could you imagine if the HOU blew a 3-1 lead? Howard and Harden would be WOATS in the media. Clippers do it and media says they would have beat GSW before the season started
In the first 10 mins of the 2nd half, the Raptors are 4/25 and have only scored 10 points. They are probably going to blow it.
So far this season the raptors perform very bad in the fourth. Its not the first time. But i think they will pull it off. Im surprised caroll can play with his injury. Hes a true warrior that man. Kudos.
So the Raptors will hold on. I watched the 4th quarter. Raptors were in full 100% choke and gag mode but the Clippers kept hurting themselves. They cut the lead to 6 with about 8 mins left but just couldn't take advantage of a team willing to give the game away. Blake was non-existent except for a couple of jumpers. Didn't see PP at all. Crawford was awful. Even after trailing by 29, Clippers could have won this game by 20 if they wanted it enough. That's how bad the Raptors were in the 4th quarter.
No paul pierce down the stretch ,the raptors nemesis and they win. Quick way to find out which team doesnt care about analytics and efficiency and only see raw stats like its the 90s is to see who gives derozan a max.
