14-15 NBA Thread

It was a good game. The Clippers lost that game in the most Clipperish way possible. That has to sting.

The spurs are a machine. Parker was terrible, and Ginobli wasn't doing much, and they still win with Paddy Mills, Boris Diaw(who had been struggling), and Bellinelli making bit shots in the 2nd half.

The Spurs won again because of coaching. They stopped any momentum in the 3rd and substituted far better than the Clippers.

The Clippers are more talented but they aren't a mentally strong team and they make really bad coaching decisions

Clipps got no bench. None.

Listened to Simmons BS Report today. He's a Clippers Season Ticket Holder, and a Celtics fan. So he's loved Doc and Blake forever.

He even said, "They aren't fun to watch play... they bitch and complain after every play."

Also made the point that the Clippers aren't going to get the benefit of officials calls, because of how they have treated the officials. And throws the blame at Paul (the biggest offender), and Griffen, and D'Andre, and Doc. Discussed how the Clips freak out every time they disagree with a call, and the Spurs just take it.

I think it's a good hire. I think he's going to do well.

'Grats to BKR

Wow!

Clippers really gutted out that Game 7. Paul's health is going to be super important in the next round, especially with their short bench.

I probably won't watch much of that series though, as I hate watching the Rockets (Harden/Howard), and get frustrated with watching the Clips whine about everything.

If Paul is healthy enough, I think the Clips can win the series, though. If not... big trouble.

The Bulls and Cavs series should be a great one. I'd favor the Cavs with Love, but without him, it could be real interesting.

Pau showing he still has it.

And I'll watch the Rockets/Clippers, next round when one of those 2 is losing to the Warriors.

Clips! totally proved me wrong in game 1, winning without Chris Paul, in Houston.

Of course, it's the Rockets...and I can't stand them, either. So I don't care. I hope it goes 7.

I didn't watch one second of it.

Watched some of the Bulls/Cavs. I've never been a huge Bulls fan, but I love Pau. I'm happy for him.

[Coachmarkos]

Grizzlies! don't sleep on them.

I don't think they'll beat the Warriors. But they are talented enough to do it. (Maybe the only team that can say that).

Love how the Grizzlies play defense, and love their post up tandem in Gasol and ZBo.

Grizzle my nizzle.

These playoffs are nuts! Lower seeded team leading 3 of 4 series. The fourth is tied at 2-2.

If you can just ignore the abomination that is Clippers vs Rockets... really exciting, and fun games to watch.

[Coachmarkos]

3 series tied at 2-2, and the nearly unwatchable Clips/Rockets series at 3-1 favoring the Clippers.

Buzzer beaters in the last 2 Cleveland/Chicago games, and a buzzer beater by Pierce in the 3rd Wiz/Hawks games.

This season is nuts.
