    Thoughts on the Clippers
    their lack of a bench will prevent them from ever making a conference final

    their starting 5 is good enough to win playoff games

    however, after those 5 it falls off. as a result they are asked to do so much on the offensive end, def more than other nba stars.

    this trend over a long ass season tires you out. when you get tired you make a lot of mental and physical errors. thats why blake and cp3 make so many boneheaded plays in the 4th quarter. they are just gassed.

    its no surprise the clippers played their best game of the series in game 1 when they were fully rested

    doc is the only guy to blame here. he tried to play GM and really dropped the ball. he used his cap space (23 million) on guys like hawes who do not even crack the rotation.

    my thoughts is they lost a tough game last night that could have gone either way.
    yes i thought they would win this series... and took them going into gm 5 at 125
    plan now is to get some back off that and walk away with a smaller loss
    taking Spurs -240 in gm 6 with half of what would have won series is one strat
    another is just plop down the "to win" number on Spurs -550 series. depends on
    if you trust Clips even if they win in SA, now I don't trust them to win 2.
    was a heartbreaker. Pops has the answer. Refs didn't help. It is what it is,
    get back a fraction and move on. bet was only 8% of my br so not a big deal.
    walk off with a 6% loss net. don't even want them in a game 7 now. still
    only equal to what i won on Clips before this. a wash for me... move on..

          yep. spurs have consistently outperformed their playoff seeding in the past 20 years too.

            Nobody to play at the 3/4/5 spot after the starts come out. And that's saying that Barnes is a "decent" start at the SF, which is being generous.

            They have Crawford who isn't terrible and Rivers who is "ok" for 5 minutes a game wen CP3 needs a break.

            Agreed, no bench = no wins, but I thought Griffin's time on the court wold make them win the series/these games.

                Not many teams can win a playoff game going 1 for 7 from the 3 point line.

                  Unfukkinreal. This clown decides to offer his "thoughts" on the Clippers postseason prospects after they fall down 3-2 in a first round series.

                  Better yet, he was captain obvious and pointed out that the Clippers have a weak bench. No shit, kid.

                  Hey zeta, how do you think the Cavs will fare in the first round this year?

                            yeah he def fell off. guy used to be a solid player on the lakers. the problem is come playoff time a lot of coaches give minutes to the veterans no matter what.
                            in rivers case i dont see a better option on the roster. turkoglu?

                              You wish. Unlike you, I've actually tracked my plays here for years in the nba. +70 units all plays documented. You can't hold my jockstrap so we'll just pretend you didn't say that.

                              Next time you want to give your prognosis of a team, try doing it before a series is nearly over. It will improve your putrid credibility.

                                                I laughed at it because it was a statement made by a compulsive liar. It's okay. Hindsight is 20/20. You've never made a pick on this site. I don't see that changing.

                                                        patty works hard at the factory coach. i think eventually he will put that solid work ethic to a productive and lucrative career but he likes doing this for now

                                                          their starting 5 is good enough to win playoff games

                                                          however, after those 5 it falls off. as a result they are asked to do so much on the offensive end, def more than other nba stars.

                                                          this trend over a long ass season tires you out. when you get tired you make a lot of mental and physical errors. thats why blake and cp3 make so many boneheaded plays in the 4th quarter. they are just gassed.

                                                          its no surprise the clippers played their best game of the series in game 1 when they were fully rested

                                                          doc is the only guy to blame here. he tried to play GM and really dropped the ball. he used his cap space (23 million) on guys like hawes who do not even crack the rotation.
                                                          I don't know what you're watching but IMO the Clips have owned the Spurs this series. Even their shit bench has outplayed the spurs on the court. And you know that the Spurs are struggling when they revert to fouling Jordan consistently. Even though the series is 3-2 SAS a coin flip would have put it the other way (unless you really want to cite a Boris Diaw fadeaway 18 foot jump shot that happened to go in last game with 20 seconds in the 4th last game as POP's incredible strategic game plan?)

                                                          CP3 is a prick but he has totally outplayed Parker this series. Ginobli has reverted into his poor form with both he and Parker likely nursing injuries. In fact the only thing I agree on is that DOC makes a poor GM. If you think the series is over you wouldn't hesitate to lay -525 on the spurs to win then, when I think a better line is +425 clips since they still have HC advantage and have shown they can stick it to SA at home this series.

                                                            Who are are they going to stick on Kwahi? Are they going to ask Jamal Crawford or JJ Reddick to guard him? Spurs will run every play through the post where he'll dominate them with his size. For better or worst they are stuck with Barnes because he's the only one with the size to guard him.
