Thank God I had the local Lakers telecast. Hope that Wade and Lebron are healthy for next weeks game vs the Blakers. I'll be headed to that one...

T-Mac will have his moments but he is by no means consistent and is a shadow of his former self. He has come to accept that he is no longer star material and gladly accepted role player status and that role suits him.

I would hardly call him a steal as the season progresses you might feel the same.

Wait...wait...the LeHeat lost!?!??

^ A few nights ago to the Atlanta Hawks at home, yes. They then turned around and beat the Hawks in Atlanta, in triple overtime, without Lebron or Wade.

So, just a minor blip in the road to redemption.

Anyone see that dunk by Vince Carter on Okafor? He's still got ups once in a while.

Did anyone see that Lakers, Warriors game the other day when Kwame Brown missed 5 free throws in a row, and the dumb ass Lakers kept getting lane violations.

Yumcha

No. But, I need to see how the LeHeat lost. I should've bought a lotto ticket that day.

The heat lost to the Hawks. it was a off game for them. can''t win them all.

Yumcha

Fixed.

CarbonGray Earl

I did. It was hilarious due to the blatant biases Stern's henchmen (aka, the refs) have toward my beloved Lakers. Block trades, phantom lane violations....

Even more hilarious that Kwame Brown missed all 5 FTs and claimed to have coached Andrew Bynum to his current level of excellence.

Yumcha

OMG.

Did the LeHeat lose...!?!?? No wonder the Doomsday clock is moving closer to midnight.

I was dying I was like you had 5 chances to make a FT and you couldn't do it.

Yes, they lost to the Warriors.

Yumcha

Well, their regular season is the LeFail now. They should've been undefeated.

The Clippers aren't as good as a lot of people thought and they will lose again tonight at the hands of a mad Heat team.

I'm not surprised because over the last 25 years the Clippers have had some good teams on paper but they never really translated into winning teams. Personally I think its karma biting Donald Sterling back for being a slumlord.

CarbonGray Earl

^^I'll be at the game tonight. Should be a fun one to watch.

Go Lakers!

Yumcha

BTW, what's up with Noah so far? He seems...out of it.

Doom878

Glad our losses matter. :brushesdirtoffshoulder:

Yumcha

^ They absolutely do. When a team as amazing and Gawdly as the LeHeat lose, it bears talking about.

sigh, Lebron and Wade need to get on the same page. still not to worry yet.

is300eater

as much as I'm glad to see the Clippers do good, I still wouldn't put money on them to go pass 2nd round in post season, not this year... If Bullips stays with the Clippers next year, I think they'll be more refined (next year)

Doom878

We're done this year

Would you like to rephrase anything?



Iwaitforyummytocomeandcomplain

Yumcha

Well, I can't wait until the reports to hear the LeHeat are crying again. Not because it amuses me.

No.


In fact, it is moving. It shows that they are sensitive human beings. That...Gods...can feel too.

Yumcha

Meanwhile, the sucky Bulls won again without Rip and Rose.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Yea, the bulls do suck pretty bad, Yummy.

Yumcha

Well, victories won't matter this year. We all know the LeHeat will win the Title.

They can't close, they aren't championship material.

The game atmosphere was GREAT yesterday. The Clips definitely have their fans riled up, and they're going to pick up alot of the younger fans.

This was at the beginning of the game, but the place was hoppin at the end....way different lower bowl than the Lakers.

^^Thanks!

IMO, the Heat gave away that game. Lebron had EVERY chance to win it at the line. The clips had many mistakes at the end and the refs had 1 or 2 calls that I thought were phantom.

Anyways some more observations:

- plenty of athleticism and hops on the court last night. The dunks, when seen in person, were just insane. Bron, DeAndre Jordan, and Blake are just blessed with athleticism even amongst the best athletes in the world.

- CP3 isn't quick as he is saavy. And, from my friend that worked directly with him, he's a very nice guy. He made sure to invite the Clippers staff to a couple of his parties and charity events, and doesn't really have handlers the way other athletes do. He plays FOR the people he works with and the city he lives in. Its great.

-The Clips are REALLY stagnant on offense. No movement other than the screen and roll. They need more there. They are lucky to have 2 point guards as guards most of the time.

-The Heat really looked good, but Bosh not acting like a big man make him a liability. He's 7 feet tall, and shooting jumpshots. That makes him a waste of height/space. He's taking space from Bron and Wade to operate a little closer to the basket, and he doesn't help them when trying to get rebounds.

Anyways, this is all my humble opinion. The Clips overall look decent but seriously young (as a team) while the Heat look like they've played together for awhile. They did everything right at the end of regulation but win it. It was really fun to witness in person.

Wow I'm surprised they pulled it out I was wrong I thought Miami would play better.

Last night I was flipping back and forth watching the end of the Lakers game and the Clippers game and coincidentally both Pau and Blake made their first 3 pointers of the season within 2 minutes of each other. Pau said he's been practicing the 3 all summer so maybe we will see him hitting more of those.

Blake is good but he is raw he needs to polish his game to become a reliable scorer and go to guy instead of just a high fly act.

Doom878

2 words: free throws.

Great seats!

mystikk

Both teams blew chunks at free throws. LeBron may have drawn some good fouls, but he's failed in the clutch once again.

Earl was spot-on, Clips didn't look too organized on offense. Most of the second half on was CP3 driving in and Caron Butler shooting the 3s.

I'm still ranting about Rondo throwing that shitty bounce pass to Ray Allen for a potential game-tying 3.
