OT - Spurs/Clips

[champs99and04]

Drives me crazy when the Spurs switch a big onto CP3 late in the shot clock and instead of looking for his own shot he dumps it into Blake.

Worked that time but not in game five.

No rhyme or reason to this series, props to Paul and Griffin they made the plays. The last 2 seconds were entertaining just because Kevin Harlan doesn't know basic NBA rules.

Pretty impressive performance by LAC and 2nd half by CP3, glad the NBA isn't going to be stupid and run game 7 against the fight.

 

[msgordon]

with love out and the hawks playing meh these are probably the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the league, kind of silly they are playing in the first round but great series

Are you being sarcastic or is it before the fight?

 

[champs99and04]

What time is the fight? LAC/SA is listed as an 8 ET start time, I would imagine the fight is later.

Undercard starts 9 ET, probably not until 11 or so.

Nah no sarcasm, I was expecting the NBA to do something stupid and tip at 9est or even worse 10:30est. An 8:00est start means the game should be done by 11, main event of Pac/May will likely be 11:30est at the earliest.

If your not tuning into this game you are really missing out.

Phantom foul on Duncan
I despise NBA refs
San Antonio is such a class act
Doc Rivers has turned into a real crying act

 

[Scoe]

Bellinelli looked open in the corner.

 

[gtcam]

Again - Spurs a class act at the end - Duncan goes out as a GREAT
Pop isn't in the HoF but the Squid is???????????????????
Inadvertent whistle and horn at last play - yeah right

 

[James]

incredible game.

 

[Scoe]

I respect CP3 and Blake but their fan base are a bunch of phonies, Doc is a crybaby, go Warriors.

Sure was

All true, but I'm happy to see the Spurs gone. I still can't forgive them for the bulls*** thugball they played for most of the '00s, including the year they knocked out Ray's Sonics.

 

[James]

neither of these teams deserved to lose. both are better than any team in the east imo

They are more likable now then when they had Bruce Bowen, I wanted to see Duncan tie MJ in titles. I think he needs to be talked about more amongst the all time greats.

That's the depth of the Western conference right now. Now you get the Clippers and Houston which should be another great series, although I think Houston will win.

 

[champs99and04]

That was a series worthy of being played in the NBA finals. IMO, they were the second and third best teams in the league. Just basketball being played at an absurdly high level.

I have no idea how the Clippers recover from that battle in time to win game one @ Houston on Monday, especially with Paul hobbled. They have to be physically and emotionally spent.

 

[Matrim55]

Infinitely so. I'm still glad that they've suffered a bit from the type of gamesmanship bulls*** that they've so often inflicted upon others over the years (including in last year's final).

The ending when the horn went off was bush league/hilarious. I thought Pop or the Spurs guy at the scorers table was gonna kill the guy who set off the horn. Lots of "you motherf'er" getting thrown around.
