2014 NBA Playoffs

RE: NBA Playoffs

Doc is a great coach but you have to recognize what kind of game this is...all offense. He shouldn't have had CP3 on the bench at all in the 4th. Crawford and Collison are good and all but not facilitators and OKC can't stop Paul from breaking down the defense. That 8 point swing where LAC got nothing going for a few possessions could prove to be the difference in the end.

I agree. But CP3 probably needed a rest and the best way to get him one was to extend the T.O. between quarters.

Why are they leaving Butler open?

RE: NBA Playoffs

Terrific game so far.

OKC are going small right now, playing with Ibaka at center, and spreading the court. Clips haven't adjusted. Unfortunately OKC can't do that for too long as the Clippers have strong inside presence offensively and Blake Griffin will take advantage of the mismatches.

Missed FT's are going hurt Clips.

RE: NBA Playoffs

OKC already in the penalty and Ibaka, who's having a great game, is in deep foul trouble (but stays on the court). They'd be in pretty good shape had it not been for that.

Biggest lead of the final Q by OKC w/ an offensive board and a slam. 5 points seems insurmountable

Offensive foul on KD? OKC aren't doing hack a Jordan

RE: NBA Playoffs

Some monster play by Westbrook and Durant puts OKC 6 points up with over a minute remaining.

Russ hits a 3 which appears to be the dagger. 111-107

RE: NBA Playoffs

CP3 went cold and this game and series is likely over.

RE: NBA Playoffs

W/ KD's jumper, make that 113-107

RE: NBA Playoffs

I love Paul but he has been garbage this quarter, and all around LAC's shot selection was weak. Great game for 3 quarters though.

RE: NBA Playoffs

same score w/ 27 ticks left

RE: NBA Playoffs

Clips gonna waste Blake's monster game.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Well it always seemed destined to be OKC - SA, even though both survived serious 1st round scares.

Reggie Jackson looks like that kid nobody ever picked for their team at the schoolyard. :snigger

Oh well, back to bed now.

RE: NBA Playoffs

LAC needed to be up 2-1 to have any prayer in this series. This will be done in 5 or 6 at most now.
