    Banking on a Suns loss to Utah tonight along with a OKC win over NO (again) to put OKC 1 game back.

    Yep. I knew we wouldn't win both games against them. We're still close to a playoff spot with about 30 games to go.

    OKC got screwed at least twice last night on blown goaltending/basket interference calls

    They blew calls involving Adams and Ibaka

    That was an incredible night of basketball. Anthony Davis broke the Thunders back and I think they now have the season series over OKC.

    Westbrook has been playing out of his mind recently.

    Hawks/GS was a ton of fun too. Curry was off and then started to become a pain to ATL. ATL had the bench respond better than GS.

    Schroeder is like a young Rondo and Mike Scott wasn't missing

    That doesn't surprise me. It seems to always happen to OKC. I didn't get to watch the game, since I didn't decide to look for a stream, so I'll just take your word for it. It's going to be a very interesting end to the regular season.

    here were the plays

    3:08 46-50 Steven Adams defensive rebound
    3:03 46-50 Serge Ibaka offensive goaltending turnover
    2:46 Dante Cunningham misses 21-foot jumper 46-50
    2:45 46-50 Steven Adams defensive rebound
    2:30 46-50 Dion Waiters misses step back jumpshot


    replays showed the ball was clearly off the rim when Ibaka touched it and put it back. (second quarter)

    It wasn't even close.



    then in the third:

    9:34 61-61 Steven Adams defensive goaltending violation

    Replays showed Asik committed offensive basket interference by touching the ball.

    Blake Griffin out indefinitely

    staph infection in elbow, surgery coming

    Lillard probably his replacement in the ASG

    clippers are garbage I can't believe some of you guys gave them so much praise beginning of the year. I know Blakes not out there but even when he was they had no identity still if they weren't running fast breaks

    The Clippers still have the number one rated offense in the league, they're not as good as I thought they would be, but they're far from "garbage"(they don't even play at a fastpace, I don't know what team you've been watching ). The problem with the Clippers is their lack of an elite wing defender and dynamic wing playmakers to take pressure off of CP3. And Doc Rivers has also made terrible moves as well...

    Clippers are not garbage. They're probably a top 5 team in the NBA.

    Durant 29 minutes, 10/15 FG, 2/3 3FG, 7/7 FT, 5 rebounds, 6 assists

    I wish he would've played like this against the Pelicans

    OKC spread and ML Friday, LAC +8 and ML today

    Ouch. I wanted to take the Clippers today, but forgot to bet. Good thing I forgot..

    Mitch McGary had a great game too. I thought it was his 1st game, but I guess it was his 3rd already.

    ok ok.. garbage might be too harsh for you clipper lovers... how about average as hell. bigsnacks.. you say they don't run a fast pace offense.. I agree.. that's why they aren't up to par, that's their bread and butter.. what are they if they aren't doing that? I love the blake-jordan combo but again if they aren't running up and down the floor for the most part what are they really doing?! more so jordan... almost non-existant in a half court offense. and Yisman... im sorry, they aren't even top 5 in the west let alone the entire league.. stop that. top 5 in highlights that's about it. I like some of their players but I feel they reached their peak already as a team in the previous years.. they are on a decline and losing blake might put the nail in the coffin, I believe Spurs will move pass them in seeding with a W tonight. Hell they might even save OKC or N.O.'s season

    The Clippers have the highest offensive rating in the league... they are FAR from medicore. They're a very good team that can potentially get to the finals if they catch breaks in the playoffs. I'm not saying they will get there, but don't sleep on them. At the very least they'll go the distances with one of the top 6 teams in the West in round one and in the West there is no shame in losing to a great team in round one. Since when did a 33-20 become medicore? Folks are calling the Clippers medicore, because they HATE them and think they're "divas".

    The Clippers offensive structure is no different than the Thunder, it doesn't look pretty but it produces great results.

    I'm not a "Clipper lover". They're an elite team in the NBA. I'm not a fan of the team. It's just a fact.

    They're 3rd in the West in point differential (I think they were second entering today), and they're #1 in the NBA in offensive efficiency.

    How that equates to "garbage", I don't know.

    If they were in the East, I have no doubt they'd be in first.

    Had Griffin stayed healthy, I would've bet they wound up with a top 4 seed in the West. Now that he's having surgery, they could struggle and drop.

    No one said anything about them being garbage until today, when they got blown out by OKC. Good time to show up, I guess.

    11/15: Beat Phoenix by 13
    11/28: Won @Houston by 17
    12/6: Beat New Orleans by 20
    12/25: Beat Golden State by 14
    1/10: Beat Dallas by 20
    1/14: Won @Portland by 6
    1/25: Won @Phoenix by 20


    They were bad today, but they're on a brutal road trip (because of the awards ceremonies at Staples). 8 straight road games all over North America (Utah, New Orleans, Toronto...), including three back to backs.
