Come on Memphis.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Good series Jazz-age. I only caught the 2nd half (I'll watch the rest later) but you guys definitely gave us a scare.

On to the 2nd round

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

The Spurs are obviously better than Clippers/Grizz, but I don't think I can put a number on the amount of games it will go.

 

[Cloudy]

LOL Mayo hit with a moving screen. FTs for Clipps

Scare? Awe your so nice CB

 

[Syphon Filter]

clips might get away with the series.

 

[Sumidor]

Clippers have assembled the most unlike able team in the league. I rather see Miami win than the clippers.

 

[Black Mamba]

The Clippers simply cannot sustain these shooting percentages. regression to the mean is coming at some point. no team shoots like this.

Clippers are one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending the three and I think Diaw, Duncan, and Splitter would give Griffin a lot of problems, might end in 5 if it's Spurs-Clippers...

If it can accompany better defense I'm okay with that...


..who am I kidding? Keep the hot shooting going!

For me it's:

Heat
OKC

interchangeable champions of annoyance. Clippers are a distant 3rd.

lmao called out, good job.

lol "Chris does a good job of flopping"

what is so bad about okc?

 

[The Frankman]

Did I miss any amazing flops yet?

wasn't watching so I have no flop raps to post.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

they're the John Cena of the NBA.

Diaw wouldn't give ME trouble.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

This series is so weird. It feels like MEM is the better team without a doubt but...

they're playing like absolute ass. I'm surprised they are making so many mental mistakes. Maybe Battier was a calming influence last year?

Not just this game, the entire series.

Nonetheless, the bigger problem for Memphis has been some crazy hot shooting from the L.A. side. Despite the Grizzlies' inexcusable inattention on missed free throws, something that has cost them two games, they haven't been bad on the glass overall; combined with their special knack for forcing turnovers, the Griz have limited the Clippers to the fewest shots per possession of any playoff team.

Unfortunately, L.A. is making all of them. The Clips are at 45.1 percent on 3s and 51.2 percent on 2s, giving them the third best true shooting percentage (TS%) in the playoffs despite converting only 60.6 percent from the line.

This series is so weird. It feels like MEM is the better team without a doubt but...

Agree on the first thing. combination of mental mistakes + clippers shooting far above their heads.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Steven Tyler's appearance is monstrous and he dresses with a clear disregard for the progression of time.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Diaw wouldn't give ME trouble.

Diaw's been playing good defense for San Antonio.

 

[Sumidor]

This one is a toughie

It was, but at least lebron and wade are legit superstars. Whereas griffin doesn't deserve the praise he gets IMO. And the clippers as a whole, Caron is the only player I don't fully dislike. If the any other clipper got punched in the face, I would be an instant fan of whoever punched them.

 

[DY_nasty]

Diaw's been playing good defense for San Antonio.

He played great D for Charlotte too. When he gave a fuck.

 

[cacophony]

Metta WP on Conan talking about Harden flopping

 

[Black Mamba]

Clippers in 3 games have efg% of 57%. The Spurs led the regular season at 53%...

If the regression to the mean doesn't come now, it will come hard versus Spurs. I think they lose in 5. They play no D.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Speights has been good off the bench, but he always seems to be one "yo mama" joke away from punching everyone in Staples Center.

 

[greatestjediever]

I really like the hustle Bledsoe plays on D. He may be our only guard who can play any sort of man D. Paul gambles a lot but typically needs help. Foye and Mo can't guard anyone.

 

[Black Mamba]

Tony Allen has had no imprint in this series. Him and Gasol need to get going.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Holy shit Bled almost killed somebody (maybe himself)

Awesome hustle

 

[ryutaro's mama]

"yo mama"

Dude...stop calling me!

 

[Iron E Man]

I was surprised Marc only took 5 shots last game.

So they'll shoot better from the line, cause more turnovers, and get more rebounds.

 

[greatestjediever]

Ugh, Bledsoe has to play big man D for Blake, so sad. Awesome breakaway though!

 

[Shadow780]

Dude...stop calling me!

yo mama

 

[Nori Chan]

[ryutaro's mama]

grrr...

Rebounding and turnovers aren't as luck based as shooting.

 

[Iron E Man]

Yo mama congrats on the job

 

[aznpxdd]

What job made you move to WA mama?

 

[Justin Timberlake]

^yeah, on that note

grats mama

have fun in washington homie <3

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Blake don't want it with Z-Bo

 

[ryutaro's mama]

What job made you move to WA mama?

Major career opportunity for a major company.

That is all I will say.

Yo mama congrats on the job

^yeah, on that note

grats mama

have fun in washington homie <3

Thank you good sir!

 

[Black Mamba]

hardly. Their rebounding has been about as you'd expect. FT doubtful since the bench plays less (and shoots better).

They'll TO less for sure (Memphis is tops at forcing TOs, I believe). But it won't matter since the Spurs are better at scoring.

 

[Nori Chan]

Oh yeah of course, mama congrats. hope you the best of luck up there

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Yo shits getting reaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

These teams hate each other

 

[Mothman91]

GET EM ZACH

GET EM.

 

[Cloudy]

Grizz out of control. I'm gonna watch Game of Thrones

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Blake steps up like he wants to start something and then cowers away. Clipper culture.
