Ya know.... I like Griff. But THIS was a straight up BITCH move by him: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/blake-g...233029366.html

Griffin is the biggest bitch in the NBA. It takes a real tough man to throw water at someone and make it look like an accident. Had the fan done the same thing, he would have left the arena in handcuffs.

Die hard Dubs fan here...I don't care if the Warriors don't do so well in round 2 so long as they destroy the Clippers. Just a bunch of classless, flopping little girls. And even if we lose tonight, I'll take 1-1 coming home any day.

paul missing both free throws SMH!!!!!!

The officiating was maddening! The missed foul on Paul was really bad, but the touch pussy fouls on Blake? The guy played 20 minutes and he's the teams lead scorer. This is the soft s*** Kobe complains about compared to the NBA pre-hand check rule. Completely soft.

Too many whistles both ways, not just on Blake but that was expected given the match-up. The refs want to set an example. Still, overall it was a poorly officiated game.

I don't care what any announcer says, these teams absolutely are rivals. I'm surprised they all kept their cool and no one got a T. We'll see again tonight.

Yes agreed. This is my problem with that game. You get these dumb 50/50 touch fouls where it's not obvious who is the fouler on the offensive/defensive end, yet Blake never got the benefit of the doubt. You take out one team's lead scorer and the game is not even watchable. After Blake got his 5th foul on a ridiculous 50/50 foul, I turned it off and knew it was over. Let's not even talk about CP3 being manhandled and the ball going out of bounds, giving possession to the Warriors.

This is the freaking playoffs, and the refs are deciding the course of the game with their missed calls and soft BS.

That being said, the Clippers did give away this game. The Warriors were practically begging to lose, and Jamal Brick-Ford goes 1/10, 1/11, and Collison mishandles a break away layup TWICE when the two teams are tied. If Collison makes the layups, actually hits his free throws, and CP3 doesn't get mugged, Warriors lose that game even with the bad ref calls. I give credit to the Warriors for hanging in tough, and capitalizing on their good fortune from the refs and mistakes from Collison and Crawford.

Wright is more athletic, better off the pick and roll, and has a really good synergy with Vince Carter.

But the playoffs are about matchups and as the Spurs are a much slower team, the Mavs may need the slight size advantage and conventional Center spot Dalembert provides. But I still personally prefer Brandon Wright closing games. Dalembert is so frustrating to watch at times, just like Erick Dampier was a few years ago.

MAVS had the perfect opportunity to come out and still Home Court Advantage from the Spurs. They absolutely collapsed at the end of the 4th. There was no choking to be said. They simply missed tons of shots! But the biggest problem I saw: they went away from success: Ellis MUST handle the ball and drive inside in these late game close-out scenarios! Carlise wake the F up!!! Don't settle for JUMPERS!!! Also, Spurs were getting in the paint and scoring too easy down the stretch! Although I prefer Wright's quickness, scoring and overall game, Dalembert was a MUCH better option to put in at the end to clog up the paint! If the MAVS can clean up just a few things that I mention above, they can make a 7 Game Series and even SHOCK the Spurs.
LET'S GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuban was LIVID!!!!!!!!!!

+1

If the clippers were to put the amount of energy they spend from; Flopping/acting, falling down after every 3-pointer, being overall cocky and arrogant, etc. into playing the damn game, they will win the Western Conference.

CP3 and Griffin are crazy good players they just need to act less and play more.

Don't worry. Lakeshow has a low 1st round pick in a deep draft. They also have a good $50000000 to spend on bringing some good talent in (Kevin love!).

[TXSTYLE]

Nice one Memphis!!!

Hella Defense last minute.

[TXSTYLE]

Wow..... I hate OKC but that was foking BANANAS!!!!

[JohnSprm69]

this okc vs grizz game is keeping me awake

wish i could stay up for clips vs warriors

[TXSTYLE]

These lucky foks!!

Should've fouled Perkins.

[TXSTYLE]

Warriors must be sleepy...?

[MediaArtist]

No, just the Clippers leading scorer actually got to play more than 20 minutes lol.

This is an asskicking and curry is super cold. The clippers are actually looking like a team who could go deep in the West.

[MediaArtist]

Curry throwing his mouth piece for not getting the flop call and Spieghts acting like a bum trying to chicken wing Davis. Damn warriors are acting like children tonight.

[MediaArtist]

lol Jordan Crawford just got tossed for throwing the football tackle on Collison. What a dumb ass thug. Him, Draymond green and Spieghts need to go back to the hoods of Oakland.

40 point blowout.

[Alpine435i]

Clippers played a great game while the Warriors didn't even show up. Good recipe for a blowout.

Oh well. 1-1 coming home, advantage Warriors.
