    I wish they would. Stupid rules like not being able to use the review to actually review the footage to make the right call is r****ded and u know the nba does this so they can control which team wins.

    My feeling is that it's the playoffs. You don't call touch fouls in the final seconds of the game. That purely my opinion. But, I think another poster stated that Paul may have been his own enemy by flopping all game. He shouldn't have dribbled into the double to begin with.

    Hahaha I'll be glad to take it, but I'm not sure why I deserve anything. I am confident in my team and I know you are just butthurt cuz I noted how the Clippers swept swept swept you guys this year (which is true). Clipps still got this, but it may go 6 instead of 5 now. Enjoy the schadenfreude though!

    If the Clips win the series, losing game 1 is irrelevant.

    I have always had my doubts with Cp3. Hell of 1 on 1 player but holds the ball too long, almost as panicking. He couldn't do anything David west and Tyson chandler on his team.

    As annoying as Clippy is, he's generally respectful. No need to pile on a guy who has just suffered a tough loss.

    Chris paul hit two huge 3s in the fourth. Dont say he is not clutch. He cant do it all by himself. Blake was thrown out so stop it.

    I disagree. If Harden/Lebron(insert star) has 6+ you keep them in. No question. It would eliminate strategy for quite a few players.

    I will grant you that Paul was flopping a lot trying to do that rip through move (although Durant would have gotten it every time). He didn't flop on the play in question-- he got hit across the arm-- and if they are going to spend the five minutes to review the out of bounds, then at least acknowledge that. I get that it's not the way the rules work but it just shows you how bad that rule is.

    Can you name a player outside the top 2 who can singlehandedly get their team to the 2nd round in the west?

    The whole so and so superstar isn't clutch thing is flat out annoying.

    Like i said, nothing you guys can say hurts more than the 1000 I just lost. Actually I lost 1200 cuz stupid Toronto didn't cover either. So not the best day! But the bet looks good for you lol.

    The nba seems to have had a directive to not call the rip through unless the defender's arms are locked, Durant got several no calls against us on that too.

    I had Clippers in 7 so I'm happy with this game 1 loss.

    I want to see a series.

    I get that. Condolences on the loss. Was a game they should have won. Blake being out really hurt them.

    This...I dont understand all this CP3 hate...yes..he flops and b****es too much at times...but the guy is pretty clutch; if the game is close, Paul makes great decisions down the stretch...Other than the missed FT attempts and blown foul call which resulted in a TO, Paul helped keep the game close for the Clips; the Warriors just made a bit more clutch plays in the end of the game.

    You could argue that Kevin Durant also can't do it.
