Clippers might get another win over them. Are they just a match up problem for OKC? Griffin getting go-ahead dunks.
Absolutely. This is a great win for the Clippers and should give OKC some doubts. Their offense is breaking down just like against the Mavs in the playoffs. Why they are resorting to isolations and long jumpers instead of the ball movement that got them a lead is a mystery. Some of that is the Clippers defense.
Even though he probably won't be back next year, credit to Vinny. He was on life-support but the Clippers have turned it around. Amazing. Good times for longsuffering Clippers fans.
Clippers getting hot at the right time while OKC fading at the wrong time. Fortunately for them they'll play us or the j*zz for an easy first round matchup..
Was hoping to see OKC in the finals but honestly as the season goes on the more doubt I have in this team making it. Clippers would be an absolutely terrible matchup for them. Paul can outplay Westbrook in a series. Durant will get his but they need Harden to step up. Don't know if it his knee but he hasn't been the spark that they needed in the last 2 games.
eric blesoe just shuts down Russell Westbrook... Bledsoe would be doing what Avery Bradley is doing if he got starter minutes...
The clippers can't lose. Sucks for the grizzlies. Chris Paul OWNS Mike Conley. And CP3 by himself takes away the grizzlies primary weapon turnovers leading to transition baskets. Fortunately the grizzlies have a better front court if they use it. And our bench is miles better than the clippers bench, so we are going to be okay. But this HAS to be the toughest first round opponent for the grizzlies.
Nobody shuts down westbrook but westbrook himself. Don't get it twisted, westbrook is a matchup nightmare. No way they beat okc in a 7 game series, it ain't happening.
Clips match up well w/ OKC. I think this is going to be an intense playoffs in the West and anybody can win; it will just depends on matchups. Clips can match OKC's athleticism both on the perimeter and interior. Paul is better than WB. Griffin/DJ can match Perkins and Ibaka's physicality.
Just got back from the game clippers made a huge run but OKC missed a lot of open shots Cool parts of game: Joey Crawford was walking backwards during a timeout and almost fell over a clipper dancer that was crouched down before the start of her routine A kid banked in the 1/2 court shot to win a jeep Cherokee on his 21st birthday. Though I suspect he could have afforded the car anyway
