Get real, you guys are going to get excited about barely beating the Clippers with their injuries? Go ahead and do so, but you're deluding yourself. We're playing like utter crap and are not deserving to win a playoff series.

You're God damn right I'm going to get excited about winning a playoff series. How can any fan of any team not get excited when their team wins in the playoffs? That makes no fucking sense.

Please, no one should celebrate winning this series. If they could have won it with some kind of authority, that would be one thing, but they've barely beaten the clippers without their two stars, and can't even pull away from them at home.

We were going to tie it up at 2-2 with or without them having Paul and Griffin. That's real.

Them losing two key players has likely helped us going forward. But how many times do good teams lose key players and they play well for a game or two? If we go to 7 and then lose, then shame on us.

We ARE a team that from the start of the season NO ONE gave a chance to do shit except be in the ben simmons sweepstakes. WE proved everyone wrong by making the playoffs as a 5th seed and have an opportunity to advance. Sure, I won't pretend like we may have if Paul and Griffin were here, but guess what we could advance. We may not, either way this has been a great learning process for our young guys. This is what we need them to do and we need Olshey to add some more pieces to move us to the upper echelon.

Mike Tirico and Hubie I-can't-even-prounce-Aminu-correctly Brown sounded blatantly biased towards Los Angeles the entire half. I started listening to how excited they'd get when the Clippers scored and then subdued when Portland scored.

But if Oden and Roy don't battle their injuries, we'd have been a dynasty. So we should celebrate the would-have-been-dynasty rather than what history ultimately shows.

For me, if we win this series... It will only be the second one I've seen in my coherent fandom... Im excited.
 
Need to come out strong in the second half. Need Jamal to start shooting them out of the game.
 
If we lose this series I view it as pretty disappointing, but we are still playing against a lot of vets on the Clippers team who has been here before, depleted or not. This team has done enough for me to be happy.

I had to mute it. They both talk too much and it is beyond annoying.
 
We need to run the pick and roll in the second half, the pick and pop to Plumlee so he can find a cutter just isn't working tonight, they've game planned it.

I just can't even think about that possibility. That would be pretty depressing.

They're barely squeaking by.

If CP3 doesn't go down I think the Blazers win *maybe* one game.

And it all rests on Dame's shoulders.

Austin Rivers is a super scrub but he's playing aggressively and gave Dame all kinds of trouble before the injury. Dame can't keep Rivers in front of him. That's not going to fly against Golden State.

lol.
 
I won't be ashamed of a win. This franchise has been through too much bad luck to feel pity for anybody else.

I will be ashamed of a loss - and that is where we are headed. Letting the underdog hang around and keep it close is a huge mistake. Whatever doubts the Clips had coming into the game are gone. They now know they can win.

I think that we all would be and should be bummed if that happens. No doubt about it. But as time moves on, we can look back and think we have some talented pieces and had a great year. Just need to trust Olshey to build moving forward.
 
I had a feeling this was going to happen. The Clips play good defense and they still have enough Vets to keep this game close. And if it is close going down the stretch i am worried we will get tight. Aminu and Harkless are 1-10. That is not going to cut it......we need to get out and run, but the game stoppage is killing that
 
I'm lovin' this game..anybody who thought the Clips were going to give up without a fight hasn't watched them much..they came to play...all the better experience for us if we get to the next round...it's win win for us in this series
 
The one thing that Clippers do that is so frustrating is change up their wing players so frequently, it has to be a bitch for the players to consistently have to adjust when they switch up any combo of Redick/Mbah Moute/Green/Crawford/Pierce/Johnson/Wilcox

Dame hasn't been guarding rivers.....
 
The problems are Jeff green and Crawford right now, redick hasn't really done shit
 
crawdord is 7-10 so far. yuck.
