Doc is now blaming the referees for the loss

 

[Vitamike]

doc's kid fell asleep. should he have even been on the floor?

That was on Barnes...

He wiffs on the Rebound!

it is on both of them and Deandre for being such a crap free throws shooter that he couldn't be in there

He needs to go back and look at the video - I haven't seen too many teams win championships without making their free throws. As bad as he was even Shaq made them going down the stretch. Then there was ton of 3 pointers that were bricks.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

He whined about the CP3 tech, the goaltending, and a couple other calls

It seems way out of character to do that in a classic series.

It has been great basketball, and the refs have not really inserted themselves over much.

Maybe it was just raw emotion before Doc had time to cool down from a tough loss.

What did he say?

he said they are mad at themselves and other things

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Clippers lose the critical game 5 at home...
They could TLF but they would be wrong!

Of course they would be wrong - that's what makes them Clippers fans instead of the Lakers

Well He couldn't possibly whine as much as the year Fisher made that shot in 0.7 seconds - lol, but that's the way basketball is. It's a game there are always going to be a few bad calls in the game - that's why there are 7 of them and clearly The Clippers is a good team and they have matured a lot this year, but they are not the defending champions and they are not going to beat the defending champions this year

This SERIES should have been a conference finals instead of a 1st round.

I suspect the winner is going to smack the living crap out of Houston in a boring series.

Seems unfair that one team will be going home early.

It is still a coinflip series.

It's pretty Much a lock that spurs win this series at this point

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Aint no lock

This team has already won TWICE by double digits on the Spurs floor
If it was game 7, the Spurs win it by 30 at home.

But Since its game 6, it will be way too close for me to stomach.
It is a pain in the ass to win game 6 when the other team can play all out with no fear.

However the Spurs are in the drivers seat a bit....not nearly a lock though (probably 65/35 favored)

I kind of feel like they were trying to keep the Spurs in the game. And no, I dont like the Clippers.

I usually hate watching the hack-a strategy but for whatever reason, I actually enjoy it with Deandre lol

The reason why I hate playing against the Spurs is because like the Clips, GSW has a tendency to make brain farts and the Spurs are a team that will capitalize on that. Love seeing Duncan do his thing, tho

 

[69er]

Oh, and I dont care if Clips get screwed over by refs cuz they sure as hell screwed over GSW in first round last year. Fucking Sterling BS had the league and America pulling for Clipps players

I agree

 

[Nosferatu]

Great game, sign of a great team that can win when so many of it's key players are playing badly, Parker, Manu, Green all played poorly... This series is far from over, Spurs have to win game 6, I don't think they go back to LA and win a game 7...

 

[trojanfan12]

This series has been about the benches. The Spurs have one, the Clippers don't. Last night the Spurs bench outscored the Clippers bench 48-17. The Clippers bench doesn't have to be better than the Spurs bench, but they can't get outscored by 31 points at home and expect to win.

To back up Horns point about depth, last night the Clippers used 8 players, the Spurs used 12.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Parker, Manu, Green all played poorly...

That has been the overall theme of the series.
AWFUL BENCH vs DEEPEST BENCH in league.

Usually the bench doesnt matter this much, but the Clippers bench is an embarassment.
They probably win if they even have a D+ bench instead of the F- bench.

They dont need much......game 5 shows they can win with a tiny little bit of bench help.

 

[Nosferatu]

It was nice seeing the Red Rocket chip in!
