    I realise the Lakers name players aren't playing but when the Warriors are giving them so many opportunities at least make a few of them.

    Pelicans with a shot here. Didn't think that was possible after the 3rd.

    And of course our favorite Crawford with a terrible call to turn it back around.

    Lillard might be the most clutch player in the League. His sliders go up to 99 with 3/4 minutes left in the game.

    And as I say that, Evans misses two shots close to the basket. Sigh.

    It's hard to believe the guys the Lakers have on the floor right now are NBA players.

    I don't know what's more surprising at the end of the 3rd - the Lakers with only 57 or the Warriors with only 72.

    Clippers making mincemeat of yet another Western pretender.

    Meanwhile, in SF, Mark Jackson has his starters playing against the Laker 3rd string with 3 min left in the game and his team up 25. And you wonder why Curry keeps getting injured. Worst coach in the NBA.

    hmmmm I think Mark Jackson took the Warriors to the 2nd round and they were the only team to not get swept in the wc by the spurs.

    Mark Jackson has had one of the most talented rosters in the NBA for years and has had one 2nd round appearance, no different than Vinny Del Negro. Just because his team underperforms in the regular season does not make that appearance any more significant. The guy is a hothead who holds personal grudges thathurt his team (such as playing his starters and risking injury tonight as some sort of statement to the Lakers who beat them in LA). But I guess if coaching keeps him out of the broadcast booth, it's a win for us fans.

    Clippers never won a game in the playoffs against the spurs was a sweep Mark Jackson's team won 2 games , in my eyes Mark still a better coach. 3 years is not a lot. and i could say the same about the clippers when they lose in the first round doc had one of the most talented rosters in the nba still a first round exit

    Haha Clippers are not losing in the first round this year, and Gs most likely won't even make the playoffs with probably the most talented starting five in the league. Mark Jackson is a complete phony whose preacher routine is getting old. You can tell his players are already starting to tune him out.

    Yeah, he's a very underrated ballhandler and passer. This is one area where CP3 doesn't mesh too well with Blake, because on another team he could be a point forward ala LeBron (obv nowhere near as talented but just as athletic).

    I hope the rockets stay the 5th and the clippers stay the 4th so we can knock you out

    The Rockets would be the best possible matchup for the Clippers because you guys want to play at the same pace and the Clippers are simply better at that speed. You know it and the head to head records show it. The worst possible matchup are slow teams like the Grizzlies and just about any eastern team.
