2013 Playoffs Discussion Thread

It must suck even worse today to be Clipper fan...all the hype and still going nowhere. They had a better shot at winning the lottery than to win a championship.

I am enjoying some of these series (Memphis/Clippers, Pacers/Hawks, GS/Nuggs). I just find it interesting that almost every team has lost a big player (Lee, Westbrook, Amare, Gallinare, Granger, etc). It really will be a matchup of whoever a best survive their respective series.

Paul with 35 points and he's the only one on his team in double digits,..... in the playoffs.



ETA: I see Crawford has 11.

Z-Bo is killin the clips!!! He is locked in right now.

I can't believe Lionell hollins took z-Bo out the game. He has been all of their offense.

L.A plays their last game of the season on Friday. You heard it here first.

That probably won't surprise a whole lot of people.

If they get bounced in the 1st round, there is no way CP re-signs there.



:evilgrin:

He can re-sign for all I care, He will never win a Championship with Blake Griffin.

He wanted out.
Good luck to him.
The Hornets did better in CP3’s last playoff appearance as a Hornet than the Clippers have so far.

I can’t see him being a Clipper next season….without some significant changes.

3 years into the league and Blake Griffin still hasn't improved his half court offense. If you look at his points and rebounds averages, he has regressed in those areas every single year. He went from averaging 22.5 and 12 his rookie year down to 18 and 8? Dude is not a superstar.

1 more game! 1 more game! 1 more game!

*Leads chant*

As much as I would like to see the Clippers out in round 1, Memphis will be in a dogfight Friday. Clips have shooters that can get hot.

The older he gets the more he will start to decline, because he realizes too much on his athletic ability.

His decline isn't due to age. It's due to being on a good team. This only proves that he isn't a true #1. That's why I'm not too high on Love who puts up amazing stats on a bad team but will likely have much more modest stats on a good team.

Monty is supposed to be in the NBATV studio this evening. He's probably on right now.

Im not saying his regression has to do with his age right now, but it will be in a few years. Because he has not developed a post game or outside shot, not to mention he's not a very good rebounder for his position. Still a very raw player after 3yrs in the league.

I hope the Celtics tie the series, then we will see if Anthony is truly a franchise player who shows up big time in such a decisive game.

I really wanted Terrence Williams this year. Such a good ball handler, huge attitude problems but every team needs that type of player.

OKC got away with a double-flop. smh

Look how they both bend their knees and really put their back into it when leaping backwards. Dedication to their craft.

That's just horrible.

Synchronized diving at its finest.

Francisco Garcia has changed the tide of the series. He is giving him value play from the position. Great Veteran presence for the Rockets.
