    I didn't claim anything. You asked if the Grizz got ANY calls and I pointed out that charge. This wasn't an alltime badly reffed game but I know the Clipps got some BS home cooking.

    The Clipps are clearly a terrible matchup for the Grizz but this series is nowhere near over. Now if the Clipps steal one of the next two, it's over.

    Really? I got the opposite, I thought the Grizz got away with more. I can thnk of several loose balls where the Clips got run over. I'm not even going for the Clips as I really like the Grizzlies (Not that they are my team or anything but I do enjoy their style of play).

    Well 'what' seemed so outraged I assumed there was a lot of bad reffing (I am a Clipps fan so I know I'm going to be biased here). I do remember one pretty bad call where they called Zac for a foul on a long pass that Paul intercepted.o Other than that, it just seeemed like too many whistles, and the Grizz certainly got their share.

    Personally I think 'what' is just traumatized by the fact that whenever the game is close, you just know CP3 and the Clippers are going to win. It's like a curse that started with the epic game 1 comeback last year. That has to wear on you after a while.

    yeah, 5 pushoffs, blake holding GAME WINNER. Go read what phil jackson has to say about CP3's gamewinning shot and then come back with a straight face.

    What happened to what you were preaching to us just a couple weeks ago in the Rockets vs. Grizzlies game thread? :confused:

    usually i don't care nothing about the refs but chris paul and the lob city fakers are the dirtiest team in the league and it ain't close. Why the refs choose to reward them is beyond me.

    Grizz got plenty of FTs. They should have hit them. Pretty much everyone hates the Clippers yet you are the only one crying.

    Tayshaun Prince has been horrible these first two games. 1-5 shooting in game 1 and 2-10 shooting in game 2.

    Yeah, just what I expected - double standards from a sore loser.

    Who was talking about Harden vs. Chris Paul?

    Who was talking about Harden at all?

    You. Duh. It doesn't take a dingbat to know that. When Rocket Fans are talking about not needing a superstar, I think you know exactly who they're referring to . Don't play stupid.

    Rudy wasn't exactly lighting it up but he would be playing better than Tayshaun Prince right now.

    I didn't watch the 2nd half I see that Zbo was once again in foul trouble.

    Paul's talent seems wasted in LA. VDN is a mediocre coach and Griffin isn't a true dependable 2nd option. They paid Jordan way too much as well. That team is so limited.

    Two offensive fouls on game-winning episode is more than enough. First on Paul, second on Griffin, he was holding Arthur, the help defender on that drive

    Main difference between Chris Paul and Harden in crunch time is that Paul actually tried to make shots while Harden just tried to draw fouls that were never going to be called at that time.

    If they were on the same team, every sensible person would have Paul taking the final shots and have Harden standing in the corner to space the floor for Paul.

    You meant Clippers have scoring threats like this http://t.co/zgLBGxVBXW to keep D honest?

    The Grizzlies made a mistake not doubling Paul, period.

    This is what I don't understand - nobody on the clippers team is able to create their own shot. You double Paul and force him to give up the ball. I'll live with anyone else taking the final shot besides Paul.
