Can't believe people are actually buying the Paperclips as a contender. OKC just flat out choked last night. You know kind of have how the Clipps do every postseason. Was watching around the horn and Plaschke brought up how they beat San Antonio last season and Golden State the year before. LOL please the Warriors was a decent team a few years ago and now they're an all time great one. They've played them tough cool they still haven't been able to beat them even on their worst day. As for San Antonio they added an All Star and a solid veteran in the offseason. Not the same team that they barely squeaked by. Griffin has missed a lot of time and having to comeback down the stretch of the playoffs. We saw it with Bynum a few years ago and he was nowhere near himself. Luckily for us his responsibilities were nearly what they're for Blake. I just don't see it.
Once again the Thunder's late game execution is awful. Durant with another high turnover game. That's what happens when you get into these dribbleathon's and you try and force things. Westbrook is a 30 percent career three point shooter and he took eight last night. Talk about just letting a defense off the hook. Also that earlier game gotta feel for Anthony Davis. His team is absolute garbage and they can't even get him the ball. The guy should be shooting a minimum of 20 times a game. Play through him and they constantly ignore him. You have scrubs like Cole and Gordon trying to win the game for them.
Lillard just put up a 50 point game, 16/28 (6 3's), 12/13 FTs. Nice battle between Lillard/McCullom vs Lowry/Derozan.
So, Westbrook just had a triple double with 20 assists to destroy the Clippers. 25 points on 9/15 shooting 20 assists 11 rebounds He almost had a quadruple double with turnovers (7 turnovers).
No ..... Really!! 1st 6 3 pointers and 7 shots total in a row. http://nypost.com/2016/03/09/forgotten-sasha-vujacic-propels-knicks-to-rare-blowout-win/ Forgotten Sasha Vujacic propels Knicks to rare blowout win By Marc Berman March 9, 2016 | 11:33pm Sasha Vujacic, who scored a season-high 23 points, drives past John Jenkins during the Knicks' 128-97 blowout win over the Suns on Wednesday night in Phoenix. Photo: Getty Images PHOENIX — Sasha Vujacic has been the poster boy for Phil Jackson’s inadequacies as a team president. When interim coach Kurt Rambis announced before Wednesday’s contest Vujacic would start in place of injured shooting guard Arron Afflalo for his “harassing defense,’’ Knicks fans on social media erupted in a firestorm. With Jackson sitting in the fourth row behind the basket and the depressing Knicks needing a ray of light, Vujacic erupted in the Valley of the Sun. Vujacic lit up the Talking Stick Resort Arena by hitting his first seven shots — including six straight 3-pointers — to collect a season-high 23 points and lead the Knicks to a 128-97 bashing of the rebuilding Suns, asd they bounced back from Tuesday night’s loss in Denver. Vujacic missed just once, his last shot, finishing 7-of-8. His point total was the most he had scored in five years, since back when he was with the New Jersey Nets. It will forever be known as “The Sasha Game,’’ but the entire squad put on an offensive show in its biggest rout of the season. “We looked like a playoff team today,’’ Vujacic said. The former Laker started the season’s first seven games while Afflalo healed from a hamstring strain, but his poor play led former coach Derek Fisher to bury him on the bench. “My main focus was getting everyone going and playing the triangle the right way,’’ Vujacic said of the season’s start. “I got away from doing what I do best. I got out of the rotation. As frustrating as it was, I’m a big believer of hard work. I waited [and] waited and the opportunity came and my teammates believed in me.” Carmelo Anthony, hitting eight of his first nine shots, was also excellent during the Knicks’ dominant first half in which they built a 27-point lead. He also finished with 23 points. “I thought we were locked in and focused from the jump,’’ Anthony said. “We had a confidence and flow about ourselves today that we haven’t had in a while.’’ But there was nothing quite like Vujacic’s marksmanship from the 3-point stripe and his aggressive defense after a wayward season. Vujacic, who before this season had been out of the league for four years, played 33 minutes after logging just 14 total minutes in the previous six games. Afflalo, who hasn’t had a good last month, sat with an abdominal strain and the offense seemed to flow better. The club hit 16-of-24 3-pointers in improving to 27-39. “It was fun, we played the right away, shared the basketball and everyone got involved,’’ Vujacic said. “When you do that, I don’t think there’s many teams in the NBA that can beat us.’’ All five Knicks starters were in double-figures and rookie point guard Jerian Grant had a spirited outing with 14 points, while former Arizona star Derrick Williams came off the bench and put on a wild fourth-quarter aerial show, scoring all 18 of his points. He threw down three theatrical alley-oop dunks in the final period. “We all wanted to play great, especially after [Tuesday], to make a statement,’’ Williams said. Rambis’ surprise decision to start a struggling Vujacic in place of Afflalo paid off in a big way as Vujacic wound up with 14 points in the first half and went at Suns star rookie shooting guard Devin Booker, who still managed 32 points. The Slovenian drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the first quarter with Booker draped all over him. “One of gut things coaches have,’’ said Rambis, whose club travels to Los Angeles for consecutive games against the Clippers and Lakers. “For a long time, going back to his Lakers days,he was a harassing defensive guy and we put his length on Booker. I was happy for him. It’s hard for guys to sit on the bench and not play.’’
Chris Paul..... the other biggest a-hole at Staples besides, and with a history to Byron Scott ..... doing the s*** he does as a dirty player again. To Kevin Durant no less. He and Biff deserve each other. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-by-hitting-kevin-durant-in-a-sensitive-area/
DAR!! ^^^ Just say NO to this bleep's ways of playing the game. None of his mentality please. Your games are not similar anyway. He's a pissed off midget and you're a budding 6'5" superstar at the age of 20.
BTW. NBA .... screw you and your rigged nuke to the Lakers future several years ago with getting the a-hole mentioned above's best and most legitimate trade out of New Orleans rescinded. Him being an a-hole would not have mattered because Kobe was here, and there would have been NO effing flopping because Kobe hated it, and Kobe was still the MAN and it was his personality going forward not the pissed off midget's that mattered. But anyway. In spite of all that. The Lakers have their next Kobe Bryant / Magic Johnson / Jerry West / franchise - put people in the seats - player. D effing Angelo Russell. With a young cast of STUDS with chips on their shoulders and as good as himself, in other ways being demonstrated so far, surrounding him going forward.
I can't stand CP3, cannot stand him. I watched that entire Clipps/Thunder game, he's a whiny, flopping, dirty little punk. I'm glad we didn't get him honesty, having to root for him would be almost as bad as Dwight. On the Durant play, it might have been incidental, but it's questionable, I hope the league is taking a closer look.
I know hindsight is 20/20 but imagine rooting for CP3 and Dwight? He's constantly whiny, CP3, and a very dirty player.
Wooooow. The link shows ALL of the times Paul has hit a guy in the nether regions. Spoiler alert: it's a lot of times. And these are only the ones where he gets caught. DAMMIT I hate that guy. He was born a C bag at heart.
The way Paul does it: - to get them upset and prone to make a mistake. - to gain advantage of that play at that moment. - because he's a jerk.
