    It was just a weird question to ask. Maybe it was some kind of confusion with the language barrier like others had suggested but still. Green really made that guy look about as bad as u can get

    Language or not what was the reporter's deal as Draymond clearly felt was happening, harping on whatever the question was a couple days in a row now. Plus the odd thing with him tying GS wins and losses to Green's trips there when it happened to be flooding?

    At least he didn't Tommy Lasorda him when asked about Jack Clark's home run. [​IMG] Epic!! Profane!!

    Yeah no idea where that question was going to go but Green might have, rightfully, ripped someone out of a job.

    Yikes, Austin Rivers just got nailed unintentionally across the nose with an elbow and he's bleeding like a stuck pig right now. Brutal. Ouch.

    Clippers curse continues.

    Nah, I don't. Go Blazers, put the Clippers out of their misery. Hopefully put a nail in the coffin of this Clippers core.

    If Chris and Blake didn't get hurt I think the Clippers would be closing this out today.

    But the Blazers match up better with the Warriors. If the Clippers were healthy they wouldn't match up well with Golden State, I don't think so.

    Whoever wins this, doesn't really matter. Clippers with no Paul and Blake won't beat the Warriors. Blazers have a better chance to give them a series I think, but they won't win either.

    Clippers out, love it. The curse lives on. I will give huge credit to Austin Rivers though, dude is still pouring blood, he's not soft.

    Two good games tonight. Clippers out again, they should move to Seattle already.
    On to the semi finals for the West.

    Hate the Clippers but I gotta give Rivers credit. Dude is tough. He got hit hard, bleeding profusely, didnt' moan about it like he got shot, got stitched up, came back and played well.

    Yup, it's hard to give him or the clips credit but they didn't just give up like the Rockets. We all know how lebaby would have handled that elbow shot to te eye, rivers played with 11 stitches.

    ...saw that. It looked like a clip from "Rocky". Yes, give Rivers props for staying in. Shows his resolve and character...meaning he doesn't belong on that team.

    OKC/Spurs starts tonight. First real series of the playoffs. A couple of weeks ago I had San Antonio in 5, but now not sure. Thunder seem to have hit their stride against Dallas. Westbrook and Durant are gonna have a chip on their shoulder. Still I'll go with the Spurs in 7, but it should be a great series.

    This is one of the bigger match ups, should be a very entertaining series. Two top5/10 players against a team that does it together. Whoever wins this series will have earned it.

    Meanwhile Golden State pretty much has a bye week or series. Portland barely managed to beat a depleted Clippers team. Can't imagine them winning more than a game against the Warriors.

    At least with Lillard we know he's going to give it his all, might be fun if he and McCullom can catch fire.
