Damn time zones! 10:30 pm my ass

On a Sunday no less:/

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So game gonna start near 11 right. Yikes.

 

[Kastrioti]

CLIP SHOW LETS GO

 

[Lee Chaolan]

We need Doc gifs on standby!

 

[Darknight34]

This made me so angry last night......

For a moment I thought he might actually get a 3 second violation call -_-

Can't live with him... can't live without him.

 

[ViciousDS]

We need Doc gifs on standby!

I predict

Lol

 

[Kastrioti]

Nice move by Griffin on Duncan. Blake needs to get going early. Statement series for him and CP3.

 

[Kastrioti]

Great defense by DeAndre and the Clippers so far.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Not good for Parker, hopefully it's not his achilles.

 

[spyder_ur]

This is going to be an awesome series.

Kawhi not starting on CP3. Not that surprising I guess, especially because they are relying on him more on offense this year. I predict we will see him guard CP3 some late in games though.

Too much damn good TV on! Opting for this game over the second half of Mad Men.

 

[TheSadRanger]

HOLLYYY SHIIIEET. Can we get a gif of Chris Paul falling down before Kawhi even touches him on that charge?

 

[Kastrioti]

2 fouls on Kawhi Leonard.

 

[zychi]

The irony of Pop complaining to the refs of the Clips flopping.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Refs bailing the Spurs. The fix is in.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Come on Clips!

 

[thehypocrite]

The competitive western conference everybody!!!

How much of the west superiority is just a media narrative? This game has been ugly as hell.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Reggie trolling

 

[Kastrioti]

Solid first quarter by the Clippers. Was getting a little sloppy at times but at least it was at a fast pace.

If we're playing NBA 2K CP3, DeAndre and Blake are resting on the bench and going to come back in the game sometime with 8 minutes left with 95 energy and a nice lead

Not much. The top 7 seeds in the West would all be in the top 4 of the east quite easily. I'm not sure what you are taking from one quarter of one game.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Spurs make a run.

 

[Shamrock7r]

back in it just like that

Ha, too bad for the Clippers it's not. Kawhi and Parker have been out for this stretch too. Spurs are fine. Clippers played a good quarter though; they are dynamite offensively when they are on.

This series is going to be awesome. I don't think the Clippers are strong enough mentally to take the series though.

 

[UnObtainium17]

This spurs bench....

 

[thehypocrite]

Meh, not impressed, the clips bench is hideous (outside of Crawford) the Spurs starters look flat. Isn't this the time to bring their best?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

OK Diaw enough shooting..

 

[spyder_ur]

It's one quarter, and the second quarter so far has been very well played. Maybe the NBA is not for you if you think these teams are no good (no offense)?

Clips bench is indeed a huge problem, and the Spurs are the most well-equipped team to take advantage of it, unfortunately for the Clips.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Chris Paul playing like a total scrub.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Spurs just too good save us Steph!

 

[Kastrioti]

Pace of play is back in the Spurs favor. Like Reggie pointed out the Spurs got back on transition defense real quick on what should've been a fast break by the Clippers IMO.

 

[Fjordson]

I'm really torn on this series. Spurs are our toughest obstacle in the West, but the Clippers are a terrible organization filled with unlikable personnel. Seeing CP 3 fail yet again would be a joy.

Whoever wins, we lose I guess.

 

[perfectchaos007]

And Donald Sterling isn't the owner anymore so thats saying something

 

[GnawtyDog]

Chris Paul is just not pushing enough. He's playing Rondo style PG play. The difference is that Rondo pushed and went to the rim.

Lol, the NBA is for everybody. I'm just making a comment that the narrative about the west slam dunk superiority seems to be missplaced. I didn't said they sucked, I just said they don't match the narrative build around them.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wtf Cp3 make your layups.

 

[GnawtyDog]

It feels like we're in San Antonio. That road home cooking.

 

[sf2fanatic]

SMH @ Barnes's shoes. Or is there something related to them?

 

[dream]

Yes, yes, this is the way to beat the Spurs. Rough up Tony.

 

[Kastrioti]

Wow hell of a block by DeAndre

4 blocked shots

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Dj just killed a fan what a spike.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Austin Rivers is the key

 

[Kastrioti]

Hack a DeAndre has started with 1 1/2 minutes left to go in the first half.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Pop cant be serious

 

[Cipherr]

Hack a DeAndre has started with 1 1/2 minutes left to go in the first half.

Spurs are extremely fucking lame for this shit. Getting completely outplayed and outhustled. Dropped to hacking in the first goddamn half lmao.

Whatever gets the W

 

[thehypocrite]

If he's outside the lines would the strategy still work?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Come on DJ

 

[spyder_ur]

If he's outside the lines would the strategy still work?

Well it only works if he misses them. But yes. Only in the last two minutes of the game is there really a major disincentive - at that point if the foul is intentional and off the ball then the team that's fouled goes to the line and gets the ball back.

 

[slightconfuse]

This series is going to be fun

 

[dream]

Excellent, excellent half. Fantastic job at minimizing our bench's deficiencies. Not sure if we can sustain this though unless we really rough Tony up.

 

[Dug]

Make your free throws and it wouldn't happen.
