Clipps @ Portland 2/16/12 - The Lob City vs Rip City Game Thread!

[SlyPokerDog]

Are the Clipps even throwing up that many lobs? It would be interesting to see the comparisons between CP3/Griffin this season and Miller/LMA last season.

 

[MickZagger]

I fully expect us to win this game. Nate thrive when left with dire straits.

 

[THE HCP]

Just tore up some Stanford's with the Mrs...... RG here we come.

They have good ribs.

TNT gonna fuck us over again.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Tip off has been bumped back to 7:50pm.

 

[Nikolokolus]

TNT gonna fuck us over again.

Oh you mean they might actually televise the whole game to a national audience with us sans Aldridge? Those bastards!!!

 

[PapaG]

Nice job TNT. Shows Jack Ramsay, calls him one of the best coaches in NBA history and has this as their title for him on the screen.

"Coach Buffalo Braves 1974-75"

Um, OK.

 

[OdenHoF]

Lol. The LA Clips were the Buffalo Braves and that was their segue from talking about the Clippers history into Jack.

 

[B-Roy]

Fuck, why didn't we extend this guy??

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Fuck, why didn't we extend this guy??

Don't worry. Games like this open up Paul Allen's wallet. We'll match any offer.

Ramsay's "Clippers" were 49-33.

In 33 years they've never won that many again.

But maybe we shouldn't. I like Batum, but if he gets close to the max do we really match?

 

[Nikolokolus]

That Nic guy is just another run of the mill, flash in the pan 6"9" guy with a 7'4" wingspan, good court vision, willingness to play defense and a smooth stroke. Not impressed.

 

[RoyToy]

That Batum shake and step back 3 jut gave me a stiffy

 

[B-Roy]

I think Batum would have accepted 9-10 million. Perfectly good valued contract. He's playing himself into a bigger one right now.

 

[VenomXL]

Sharp start to the game. The lead would be double digits if we weren't giving up so many offensive boards.

 

[B-Roy]

E-Mail!

 

[Nikolokolus]

That's why I like Eliot. One of the only guards on this team who plays above the rim

 

[VenomXL]

Nasty finish there.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Dammit. Crawford just can't help himself can he? That one on one shit should only rear its head in the last two minutes of a quarter.

 

[VenomXL]

The scrap levels are off the charts.

 

[B-Roy]

Why was Elliot taken out? His defense is really impressive for a rookie.

 

[Nikolokolus]

With the energy and effort they're giving tonight it's hard to believe this team lost to the fucking Wizhards on this same court two nights ago ...

 

[Nikolokolus]

Why was Elliot taken out? His defense is really impressive for a rookie.

Nate and youngins ... who knows?

 

[Sedatedfork]

I love how Batum's been playing the last 3-4 games. He's being aggressive and he's just so smooth.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Loving the hustle!

 

[MickZagger]

Its baffling to me that it took this long for people to realize that Batum was capable of this. Nate included.

 

[B-Roy]

Lol, Paul is SUCH a whiny bitch.

 

[VenomXL]

We are getting all of the whistles. I love it.
