Clippers are going to be out for blood

[Wizard Mentor]

These Clippers aren't very sharp, they don't make the cut....

Blazers will win easily.

You know this stroke of good like all started when you stopped watching the games.

I think it's safe to say that the Refs will be on high alert for "out for blood" play. Of course we may be misjudging the Clippers too. I'm always of the mindset that I hope the team that beat me goes on to win it all, because then I become the one who was eliminated by the champs not the team that fizzled in the next round.

That's no fun!! I was enjoying kjironman's embarrassment. Unless of course @crandc was offended by his initial comment, in which case I fully support the deletion thereof. Although her comment which he replied to was hilarious. I wish that had remained.

???? Elitist oppression rears its ugly head.

No question i am seeing the Blazers as the tougher team right now. Like Rocky said...."It's not how hard you can hit. It's how hard you can get hit and keep fighting."

I was noticing a trend when watching highlights and rewatching parts of the last game. Whenever the Clippers made a big shot, the Blazers players immediately turned to go to the other end and play offense. Whenever the Blazers made a big shot, the Clippers players tended to slump their shoulders, sometimes argued and gestured at each other, and then go up the court to the other end. Looked like every shot we hit was driving the knife deeper, while every shot they hit didn't faze us. We are no doubt the mentally tougher team. That's why you don't see us making our living off bitching at the refs every single play. Now we might be even or ahead in the talent department. We just have to be ready to face a team with nothing to lose and take them as seriously as a fully healthy Clippers team. Our biggest key has been how hard we've attacked the boards. We just have to keep working hard.

I was just trying to make a joke about the Clippers being out for blood with a pair of child's safety scissors.

I didn't go up high enough--my mistake. Good dog!!

A 30% FG has more value than a 40% FT

Actually, they are the same. FT% = eFG%

NO GOOD CLIPPER!!

 

[Sinobas]

We should double Crawford and Redick off pick and roles like they've been doing to Dame.

We seriously need to add a dislike button

I know nether injury was our fault or intentional but Clippers are going to come at us hard. They can either try to out gun us or out muscle us. My money is on out muscle. They're going to send Jordan to take out Plumlee and River to take out Lillard and CJ.

If the refs don't maintain control of this game from the opening tip it's going to get ugly.

I just hope they don't come out and try to to hurt one of our guys like Dame...they are dirty but I hope it doesn't get that dirty

Or they will look the other way like they have been

 

[Chris Craig]

That's what worries me though. I'm worried if we win tonight, our team will take game six as a formality.

No, I'm not worried about that...both Dame and Stotts have said every game is treated the same...must win...and they way we have been playing in that last two games shows that...the Blazers are hungry and they are liable to eat

They always say that though. "One game at a time."

That would be lowest-common-denominator oppression.

Man I am very embarrassed for sure. Really did not intend to offend anyone. Should have left that alone.

Dammit, I should have said the refs were going to be out for blood.
