As a young team you could just tell the Bucks had quit early on this one. They already struggle on offense and once Chicago got a decent lead, the fight was gone.

Now on to the actual important game.

Missed #6, totally did not look like how I remembered him.

Blake Griffin is averaging 24/13/7/2/2 in this series. He must really want to make up for those stinkers he laid the last few playoffs.

Clips Spurs might end up being the best series we see.

Quote

A day after the Brooklyn Nets were eliminated from the playoffs, head coach Lionel Hollins admitted point guard Deron Williams is no longer a franchise player.

"He's not a franchise player anymore," Hollins said on Saturday morning during break-up day. "He's a good player, he's a solid player, but I don't think he's a franchise player anymore. That's just my opinion. He's a good player. I'm proud of the way he's bounced back and played, and there's so much pressure on him to be a franchise player, and everybody talks about a franchise player, but we need to have a franchise team.

Manu doing the "throw it up from the back court" to draw the shooting foul that CP3 always goes for and never gets. Doc and Paul get INCENSED, and then Paul banks in a 3 to end the quarter. Hot damn.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15555 on:** May 02, 2015, 10:32:54 PM »

Doc should have called timeout once the clock hit 2:00 to put DeAndre back in. They are getting killed on the boards,

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15556 on:** May 02, 2015, 10:33:32 PM »

This game is classic. Duncan is timeless.

Spurs are killing them on the boards.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15557 on:** May 02, 2015, 10:38:44 PM »

It had to go down to this. Spurs are about to create and hit some amazing shot. Calling it.

Crazy that CP3 was so obviously hobbled and the Clippers were trying to find offense without him running the pick-and-roll (dumping it into Blake in the post, running Reddick around screens), yet he winds up being tied with Duncan (!!!) for leading scorer in the game AND hits that fadeaway bank shot at the end.

Danny Green going to be found in some LA dumpster for backing off for a drive.

I still don't understand how they managed to make Big Baby so useful in this series. Congrats to the Clips. Houston doesn't have their starting point guard, so hopefully CP3 can rest for a game or 2. I want him to be as close to a 100% as possible when they face GSW. That's the only series that has a chance at being better than what we just saw.

Him and Harden had been dueling the last few weeks of the season. Curry definitely is mine after seeing what he means for other players around him.

Lebrun still goat tho

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15579 on:** May 04, 2015, 09:27:42 PM »

Lots of problems for the cavs tonight. Bad Defense. Inconsistent effort. Too many sub-par role players. It will be a tough series for them. Very winnable for the bulls.

Cavs just had a dreadful 1st qtr they couldn't overcome. Which is understandable given the layoff and the lack of two starters.

They have always been a team that needs to score 101+ points to have success.

Lebron has just been insanely aggressive tonight. As if he doesn't really trust the rest of these guys. But its working.

Marion can't seem to get off the bench. I thought he would be useful defensively in a series like this.
