Western Conference Semifinals: (2) Oklahoma City vs. (3) LA Clippers

If the Clippers don't hit some outside shots, they are cooked. Doc probably has to give Redick another chance. Either he or Crawford will have to find the range. Matt Barnes should have just stayed home. CP3 should look for his shot more instead of setting guys up.

For OKC, that foul by Jordan might get KD going in the 2nd half. WB's T was uncalled for but that's the kind of stuff he does that keeps their players on edge.

 

I hate the run into player - get FT offense that KD and Blake are pulling. Refs should just swallow their whistle.

 

All these whistles in the second half have made this game nearly unwatchable

Clips such a waste of great talent. Isn't Doc Rivers supposed to instill some sort of defensive improvement?

 

Lol, what is Magic Johnson doing at the Clippers game :0 ?

 

I can't believe we took Joey Dorsey over Deandre Jordan

 

ibaka has to be very carefull...

 

Brooks needs to give WB a "breather".

 

I assumed that was a mental slip and he meant LAC.

 

OKC is puttin on that ass.

 

The clips don't have anybody that can score on a consistent basis. Blake is more of a garbage pail guy like Zach and Chris Pual just doesn't attack the defense like he did 3 years ago.

Okc is basically winning this game with better, more consistent scoring.

 

Welp...farewell, Clippers...

 

So scoring 100+ so far in 3 games and losing 2 of them means you need to score more? Got it. SMH. Maybe that's their mentality and hence they won't sniff a 6th game in this series.

I predicted OKC would win this in 6 tough games, but this is becoming comedic. Still don't get where some people would think Clips would potentially go to the Finals after needing 7 games v. GSW.

 

That's more about pace. I'm taking about efficiency. Thanks for your input.

 

KD is a scoring factory.

 

So allowing OKC to shoot 55% in game 3 AT HOME. 51% in game 2. 46% game 1. And today allowing OKC to shoot like 100% out of the gate.

Really now?

Defense keeps you in games regardless of how bad your offense is. Ask Memphis/Pacers.

PS - Clips scored the most points during the regular season. #3 in FG%.

Posteason - they're #2 in scoring, and #3 in FG%.

So you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

They're losing b/c they can't defend for jack. (Bottom 4 in playoffs in points allowed, and bottom 3 in fg% allowed)

 

Doc Rivers is vastly overrated. Bad coach with Magic with McGrady. Bad coach with Celtics before KG/Allen trade. Now he's basically is where Del Negro was first year with CP3: getting bounced out of the 2nd round, even with an improved roster + improved Griffin.
