Lue looks crazy for changing his lineup in game 2. Batum starting instead of Zubac makes the most sense in this series

I'd take Lue coaching my team of millionaires over you.

Does PG get credit for this game or is Kawhi going to get credit when he doesn't deserve it.

So we are back to making stuff up? You know the play by play of these games are easy to find right? The Clippers did indeed foul 2x late in the game

Actually, I didn't make anything up, but I did mix up games 1 and 2.

I knew that at the end of 1 of the games I was wondering why the Clippers weren't fouling, so I checked game 1 and it looks like the last foul committed by the Clippers was by Marcus Morris with 1:48 left.

They both deserve credit. PG was dominant in the 1st half while Kawhi did his work in the 2nd half

Wouldn't a laxative be cheaper?

Easier to go to work after all the heavy lifting is done.

Jackson and Batum also deserve some props.

Jackson made 5 of 6 treys and 6 of 8 FGA's while Batum scored 17 points and grabbed 7 rebounds while playing some good defense.

In your opinion. That is not a fact.

In my opinion a 6 point game with a minute left is more than enough time to make a comeback especially in this nba where teams rely on the 3 ball a ton.

6 points is nothing with a 24 second shot clock and TOs that allow you to advance the ball to half court.

That isn’t even fouling time yet. Game was far from over.

 

[tlance]

The game was O V E R.

The Clippers knew the game was over. They didn't even try to extend the game with intentional fouls.

You don’t foul intentionally down 6 with a minute.

You play D.

Offensive team usually milks the shot clock, which often leads to low percentage shots. Defense gets a stop and the have the ball with about 35 seconds.

That is enough time to get a quick 3 and another stop without ever fouling if all goes right.

Except, as already discussed, the Clippers did and in game 1, they didn't commit another foul after 1:48 left in the game.

The discussion was about game 2

In game 1 there was no need to foul. They just had to play defense and make shots. 6 point game with a minute left and a 3 point game with 40 seconds left so they did the correct thing by not fouling. They played defense and got stops. Just couldn't hit one last three to tie the game

Yes, I know. The Clippers fouled when it got to under a minute. I was pointing out the difference in the endings because I had mixed the games up.

He didn't play well in the last game. He was 6 for 16 before hitting 2 cheap baskets in garbage time. That's not good.

He may be doing a little better overall this year than usual, but he sure as hell hasn't done enough for people to stop mocking him or for you to be trying to white knight him.

I am personally still waiting for an explanation on how PG was a bad in the playoffs prior to getting to OKC
