Q: Coach, what about Wall's 27/5/5?
A: He was effective.
Durant's going to get crucified tomorrow. Scotty Brooks should too, talk about not putting your players in a position to win. Butler playing the 2 where he has to cover either Crawford or Paul. Continuing to play big with Adams and Ibaka when if he played Durant at the 4 at least he'd get Blake on KD and just consistently failing to draw up a real offensive play out of a timeout.
The replay behind the basket shows Paul MAYBE got Westbrook's wrist...but man you gotta be sure in that situation.
Horrible calls but the fact is that the Clippers had a 13 point lead and couldn't finish. That's epic bed shitting right there.
The officiating sucked, but the Clippers sucked far worse down the stretch. Unreal choke, especially by Paul.
Bad calls only allow you to choke so far. 13 point blown lead and then Paul just gives the ball away.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
I am sorry you had to witness that dude. This series will go seven though. You know this.ElUno20 said:
You guys are silly, its not all on CP3. I watch a ton of NBA and teams make runs all the time. The Thunder made a run and the Clips, as a team, went cold. The Clippers aren't here because of just Chris Paul. They have lots of other weapons who simply didn't get it done down the stretch while the Thunder climbed out of the grave, propped up by the refereeing.
This series goes seven though. Book that shit.

Lmao. Im good. Westbrook is just a horrible player to watch. Im all for celebrating and batflips, etc. But this guy literally is screaming, scowling, and making an ass out of himself on the most basics of plays. at some point, its like hey you get paid to do these things. Be a professional.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
This game was on cp though. He blew it. And even a 7th game wont save them. no one in winning game 7 on that floor except the thunder.
Yes the Clips choked, but I can't wrap my head around how the refs can look at that replay and not award the ball to LA. That was clear as day. It really doesn't make any sense.

It does when you consider that the refs clearly missed a foul on Barnes. If Barnes doesn't mug Jackson (that is Barnes' preferred method of defending someone btw - I have watched this guy since he came into the league), the ball doesn't go out of bounds. They were wrong to award the ball to the Thunder based on a blown foul call but that is what they did.
DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
Agreed on both counts. Clippers went cold but 2 plays one where all he has to do is hold the ball and he can ice it at the line and he turns it over both times. He was completely out of character at the end. Being great 99% of the time doesn't preclude him from really shitting the bed the last two Clipper possessions.
Definitely a foul, but I've seen that same situation play out with replay many times this year, and the officials have been consistent in not basing their replay decision on the foul. They don't have that discretion. Maybe they should, but they don't.bball831 said:
That's the only possible reason of course, but officials don't have that discretion. It's bullshit.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
Barkley dumping on Paul and Westbrook. Beautifully done, Chuck.
This has been a fun series since Game 3, but neither of these teams looks like a serious threat to LeBron. Looks like the Spurs have the only realistic chance.
Glenn Rivers frustrated during the postgame presser. Wants instant replay removed from the game.

One other thing to note about Paul - and I am by no means a fan of his - is that he is really hobbled with his hamstring. Its actually amazing he is still playing at such a high level.
Wow, Doc is gonna owe some money here. I love this guy unconditionally...please have him quit at the end of this season because of Sterling...there is a home for him just a few hundred miles to the north.
