Exactly.

Silver lining.....

Better to get this sleepwalking shit out of their system against a team that can't really compete, talent wise.

They will be locked in against the Rockets.

I wasn't surprised that this went 5. The Clippers never stop playing hard, no matter what and the Warriors don't see them as a threat.

I am surprised that they were able to push it to 6 though. I'd have thought that the game they lost having been when they gave up a 31 point lead at home would have been enough to give the Clips their full attention the rest of the way.

I think the Clippers can win the series now.






















































No I don't.

Do the Clippers have a single all star on that team?

I only did that after I learned you were running a pedo phile ring out of the basement of your pizza parlor. On the internet we can type whatever we want.

Monty owns a pizza parlor?

@DJ gonna wanna be his new best friend.

Lou is about as borderline of a guy as you'll find, but nope. I'm wondering though what Harrell can do in the future if given the starters role. He's really coming into his own. Clippers have him locked up for one more year on a really friendly contract, but after that he's gonna get paid.

I’m pretty confident they’ll win game 6 but then there was no excuse for the two games they lost at home; a clos out game and a record-setting blown lead. So I guess I’m not to confident

But you just said you were right that this series was going to go 7. You haven't been validated in this particular scenario.

It's arrogance.

Like , let's be honest.....

Clippers had lost like 12-15 straight times to the Dubs.

Lots of those beatings were in the 25-40 point range.

They expected them to lay down.

Shit, I expected them to lay down.

The Blake/Paul era would have.

The Clippers 2 wins are rooted in pure effort, not skill.

If the Dubs play to their potential, game 6 should be over by the middle of the 2nd quarter.

I agree. Doc's showing his coaching prowess on this one. The core of Jordan/Blake/Paul on paper looked elite, but mentally, just not there. I'd like to see what Doc Rivers does with an actual title contending roster (2 all stars).

I think Durant and Draymond both want to lose the series and then blame it on the other guy.

He might even win a title in 2008

Even if he does not jump straight up and leans in some, if the offensive player initiates the contact by moving forward into him it is not supposed to be a foul....but it often is.

That is not true though.

The defender is not in legal guarding position if they are not straight up, or if they jump from A to B.

If contact occurs on one of those situations, it is a foul on the defense or possibly a no call if the ref deems it minor enough.

Huh? Are you just messing with me? If the offensive player initiates the contact the foul should not be on the defender. .....And I'm also talking about playes where the defender does jump straight up and lands. Before he lands the offensive player leans in and draws a foul.

Can't eat pizza very often....sets off my fucking acid reflux.

Same here. I make my own on occasion. Get some pizza flower dough. Roll it out. And add light sauce, toppings & cheese.

I am not talking about what should be.

I am talking about what the rule is.

And the play you are talking about is not a foul if the defender jumps straight up. And NBA refs are actually pretty good about not calling that a foul even when there is a lot of contact.

Fully aware he won a title in 08. But he underachieved with Blake/CP3/Jordan. If he can replicate his success in LA that he did with Boston, then it re-enforces his resume.
