Spurs really aren't that much better of a team talent wise if at all. This is truly a coaching loss. I say CP3 demands VDN be let go. He's the type of player that can see his team getting systematically destroyed and most of that is coaching.

Shoot 30% in a series; blame coach

Tim Duncan is 36. He played 38 minutes, had 19 points on 50% shooting, 13 boards, 4 assists, 3 blocks, had only one turnover and was +20. I said damn

Spurs have more depth and are a more balanced team. CP3 and Blake are the Clipps main advantages but CP3 gets neutralized when he actually has to guard other top PGs.

Coaches don't blow 24 point leads. Players do...

While the juxtaposition is funny, VDN offensive "sets" is basically give the ball to Paul and have him shoot or find an open guy (teammates who don't even move during the play). Nobody cuts, sets double screens or does anything to make the play easier. I'm not surprised a smart team can easily expose the Clips.

Watching Evans getting purposely fouled was pissing me off cause it is what I and everyone in this city wanted Hollins to do every time he came in with the game close it is essentially a turnover for the Clippers everytime.

Some coaches don't believe in that stuff. Phil never did it...

Hes the 5th worst free throw shooter of all time

I don't understand why any coach would let him make any sort of impact

Spurs actually have offensive sets and everyone tries there best to stay faithful to them.
Clippers just roll a dice and give the ball to whoever for a quick iso.

Clippers have no idea what to do defending a team that consistently cuts and screens.
Spurs adjust game to game to attack the Clippers on defense.

This is simply one coaches system beating the shit out of the other ones.

Reporter: Did you think that intentional fouling was the right strategy?
Pop: Obviously, that's why I did it.
Reporter: But why Reggie Evans?
Pop: He's a really bad free throw shooter. We aren't going to foul Chris Paul

Last of the dying breed of asshole coaches. Gotta love it.


If you guys thought Jazz-age was defensive of Deron, just wait til Brandi gets his disgusting hands on him.

That implies Lebron would accept a strong coach telling him what to do.

You crazy? There is a reason even the most selfish/insane/clueless players have always thrived under Pop and Phil. Artest, Rodman, Kobe, Stephen Jackson, the list goes on and on.

Give Pop and RC buford Lebron James (or Durant, or some combo of two lesser all stars) and an empty roster otherwise and I'd be shocked if they didn't have at least two titles in the next 5-8 or so years.

It's not like the Heat didn't have somebody who can coach the shit out of that team. The only question is if he still has that fire to drive these players.

Can't wait for the epic Chunder collapse tonight.

Harden's basically screwed because unlike the regular season Harden's little "euro flop step" isn't getting calls.

I'm thinking 20+ turnovers and KD is under 25 if not 20pts at least

My favorite part about JVG calling Spo's comment about player confrontations happening all the time bullshit is that it means either Spo is lying or Wade slaps Spo's shit on the regular. Both possibilities are equally likely.

BTW, LBJ/Wade, Tony Parker isn't just giving out on court lessons about how to get your team involved, but off court lessons on how to dress.

Tight blue pants and a sports coat don't do it for you?

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
the 2 teams that are destined to meet in the Finals both made record comebacks in less than 24 hours from each other.

as PhilJack says...IT MADE ME A BELIEVER
