[Western Conference Playoffs - 1st round] (3)LA Clippers vs. (6)San Antonio

CP3 is a great player on his way to the Hall of Fame. But his biggest legacies so far are flopping, whining and playing the refs.

When it comes to gaming refs, CP3 is the GOAT. He just never stops.

 

Man I can't say it enough, you have to play a perfect game to beat the Spurs.


Every time I see a team hang with the Spurs for three quarters, then in the fourth, they beat themselves by making stupid mistakes, boneheaded turnovers and taking terrible shots.

 

You don't have to play perfect to beat the Spurs, but you definitely can't keep making mistakes. Clips have beaten them twice and they didn't play perfect in both games. Last night, Clips just made stupid decision after stupid decision, had a real bad ref call when Paul got T'd up, and then Deandre goaltended a ball that was going in that would have given them the lead with 4 seconds left.

Rockets can beat the Spurs, they are much deeper than this Clips team, they just can't beat themselves like the Clippers did last night.

 

Without Splitter, Parker at 100%, Rockets have a great chance against them. Splitter makes a huge difference when he's healthy. Y'all saw how awful Banes was.

LMAO :grin:

 

How many more years can Tim Duncan play like this if he really wanted to go until he became unproductive? He's been outplaying both Blake and DJ at the age of 39..

 

Again, people are so fear about the Spurs and just blindly gave them the respects for no reason.

The Spurs almost for sure choked away in game 2 down the stretch and they did the exact same thing last night with 7 points lead in the last 2 minutes.

 

Except our guys go the rim, on average, better than the Clips 3-point shooters. If you have Baynes and Duncan on the interior, I like our chances of attacking the rim in a long series.

 

Props to the clips, outside of Barnes they've played clean and hard-nosed playoff basketball. Even if the rox weren't playing the winner, I would still hope for a game 7.

 

Spurs will destroy Clips in game 6. I can see at least a 15 point margin win.

It will be a hell of a series against them, their bench is fantastic, so ****ing deep. And also had so much experience..look, Ginobili was having a meh series and tonight play very good, also Diaw, hitting step back jumpers in the 4th quarter.

Thank god Parker is playing like crap, we are not goint to suffer him too much with Terry or Prigs on him.

Is that why splitter wasnt playing? I thought spurs went r****ded with just Duncan at center. You cant have him at center vs blake and jordan. They will eat him alive and they sure did last game. You cant just look at some stats and think that idea will work, its a synergistic effect. Kind of like Dmo with no real center next to him

Blake Griffin in the 4th quarters for this series choked as bad as Lin did last year, he is the main reason the Clippers lost in game 2 and game 5.

 

The problem with Griffin is this : he got some amazing talents and strength but he loves to flop and too often playing the victim card.

This is typically lack of confidence and sense of safety.

In last night's game, there was one play he went to the basket and Green was jumping up vertical to stop him, indeed its a foul with some body contacts, but Griffin flop it like he was struck by an 18 wheeler and fell from the 50th floor to the ground.

You know what, when ref checked this kind of stupid act from replay, its hard for anyone to give you respect in the 4th Q for some 50/50 calls.

Until he change his mindset on this, he can't get to another level.

 

experience matters... playoff pressure makes people commit mistakes they normally don't make...
