I want the Warriors to win and all. But, holy shit, Mark Jackson quit bitching. That was not dirty basketball, that was playoff basketball. I know your team is finesse, but quit being a pussy. You act like you have never been a part of playoff basketball before.

Apparently I missed something. Jackson call out the refs after the game?

M. Gasol's the best Center in the game fairly easily. So savvy.
 
2nd year in a row Blake Griffin has disappointed in the playoffs

I remember saying him and Love were overrated years ago. Love has done diddly poo and Griffin sucks in the half-court against a real defense. No shot creation.
 
If the Clips lose this series, I could see some serious changes.

1) Del Negro is gone.

2) They might deal Jordan

3) They will most likely want to keep Paul and Griffin, but anyone else will probably be available.

Griffin has been horrible. He's a shit PF that only knows how to dunk. He can't shoot, sucks at the foul line and a terrible defender.

When it's said and done; Aldridge will be the PF that everyone finally praises. Our team just needs to win games.

I think Aldridge is up there with Kevin Love (when he's healthy), and I could see Anthony Davis at the top of the list in a year or two. I think the Clips' biggest problem is that they don't have a real scorer. Paul is a distributor, Griffin is just an athlete, so who is the guy in their starting five that will just flat out score?
 
On cloud nine with the win, but... I don't want to hear the "Blake was hurt" stuff all over ESPN. Z-Bo and several players on both teams are playing through pain right now. Griffin's ankle looked pretty damn good when he was throwing down dunks in the first half. He left the game with less than seven minutes to go in the third, down 62-52, after getting owned by Z-Bo all night. I'm not doubting there was some pain, but c'mon... that wasn't the storyline... he was inconsequential regardless of the "injury."

...that's right, the Grizz are shocking the world right now! They have all of the experience and weapons needed to make a deep run!

Hell yeah man! Although I don't like that it's shocking the world that we're up 3-2 on a team we had the same record as in the regular season haha.

Just watched the highlights of the Golden State game that were supposed to be "dirty," and man, that's all overblown, especially when they contrasted them with some hard fouls by the Warriors earlier on in the series. I missed the GS/Den game because I was watching the nephew tonight, so maybe there's something I missed, but from what they showed... I just don't get what Mark Jackson was going on about...

Just compare some of those "dirty" plays to some of the wrestling matches between Z-Bo and Griffin in the Clippers/Grizz series...

...agreed, I was definitely saying that emphatically with tongue firmly planted in cheek! Even if all of the so called "experts" never gave the Grizz a chance in hell.

And I typically despise most things L.A. regardless!

Griffin could hardly walk before the game. He gave it a go but he wasn't right. That's why Paul was aggressive as a scorer. The series isn't over by the way.

Did Paul really get poked in the eye and just wander around traveling until a ref called a foul about it?

Yes. Or at least he acted like he got poked it the eye. With flop city you never know.

I'm thinking along the same lines. On top of that, Paul is a FA who will command top dollar. If they want to re-sign CP and another big name out there (Howard), they will have to move Jordan. :)
 
Do we want DeAndre Jordan? Has he shown anything in the playoffs?
 
Ok so I just looked up DeAndre Jordan's stats so far in the Playoffs.

Game 1: 3 pts, 8 rbs, 0 blks in 30 mins.
Game 2: 4 pts, 8 rbs, 4 blks in 24 mins.
Game 3: 2 pts, 8 rbs, 3 blks in 25 mins.
Game 4: 2 pts, 2 rbs, 1 blk in 17 mins.
Game 5: 6 pts, 4 rbs, 2 blks in 31 mins.

Yes, there is a big man tax but this is outrageous. Those numbers don't impress me at all. I know his D is the main draw but that hasn't jumped out at me enough to make up for the stats.

The worse he plays the better chance we land him. I hope to hell he sucks next game and they lose.
IMO he falls in the average center category. (Regardless of his stats) But that is about as good as we are going to get. I think Nene is the one center who is above average that we could land, but he does have a history of injuries and he will be 31 in September.

So gooooo Memphis.

I have no problem settling for an average Center if it comes to that. I certainly wouldn't pay 11.5 MIL a year for an average Center though.

Yikes. Actually, I think his main draw is that he's Blake Griffin's Jack Haley.

Yeah but the cheaper choices seem to be a bigger long shot then the expensive ones.

So maybe we should keep the pick, and draft a center who will eventually be average. Then we will have two average centers.

Bigger longshot of what? Coming?

Zaza Pachulia (as an example) can easily put up those sad stats that DeAndre is doing in the playoffs and he would cost at most 7.5 MIL a year.
