Am I the only one who consistently roots against Chris Paul and the Clippers? It seems like they're always standing around whining for calls, Chris Paul is nut-tapping opposing players left and right, or arm-barring them. DeAndre Jordan is about the whiniest guy in the game today, and can't hit a friggain free throw. To win 53+ games the past 4 seasons and never advance past the semis is sad for a team with the best off the bench scorer, top 5 point guard, top 5 power forward and a stacked bench. I hope the Portland McCollard's take them down.
The Clippers have been an unlikable team for sure. Blake, Paul, Jordan, and you can even throw in Redick, the Blue Devil.
Speaking of Paul and Griffin, they both got injured in Game 4's loss to portland. Series now tied and Paul could be done for the playoffs. Griffin has a quad injury. Paul broke his hand (apparently) trying to pants Henderson.
Even before the two injuries the Blazers were swinging the momentum in their favor, as I don't really remember them trailing much in this game. Now the Blazers should win the next two going away unless Blake somehow plays and drops 40+. I also read that Blake's injury earlier in the year was due to chronic tendinitis which is definitely not good news. Question now becomes... do the Clippers blow it up? If they can seriously get a Kyrie for Chris Paul trade because that's the only way LeBron will stay in Cleveland they'll be getting a second chance at building a winner.
He sounded pretty non-committal this entire year talking about wanting to play with his friends all on the same team (Paul, Wade, Melo), getting Blatt fired, reportedly not getting along with K. Love and Kyrie all year long. He's gotta try to take back this league from Curry and if he doesn't think he's going to do it with those two guys he's going to go create his 3rd 'super' team. I'd bet he opts out either way to get more money. I'm skeptical of him returning.
Anybody else want to bet against Portland from now on?! Shoes on the other foot now! Maybe Doc Rivers should stop b-itching and coach his team more. Stotts deserves COY and Olshey deserves Executive of Year! Period. You can't kill Rip City!
that sounds like lebron right there. wanting to buddy up more than anything. I'll bet he doesn't stay in Cleveland. The funniest part is that if he just didn't bitch to the FO to trade for Love he'd been set in Cleveland for 10 years with Wiggins as his teammate the dumb shit. now he's not meshing with Love. surprise surprise.
I always liked Portland but I never get to see them play here on the East Coast. I like how Lillard doesn't like Curry too. Too much players kissing each others' asses in the NBA. Its nice to see a guy like Lillard dislike his opponents. I hope they win this series and set up a matchup with the Warriors.
It's the alpha dog mentality in a league full of betas. The Kobe Bryant type of player, either work hard with me or get the fuck out of the way, and as far as opponents go I want to bury you. The All-Star game is gross to watch because of all the sucking off of each other the players do.
you know the league has gotten way too soft when a player like Kobe Bryant, who not too long ago was seen as the little bitch of the league, is now seen as the last hardened badass in the game.
Feel bad for the Raptors, every year a swingman goes off on them in the first round. Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and now Paul George looks to be getting back to superstar form. Must be Drake's fault, awful music.
Screwed out of multiple Finals MVPs and League MVPs yes, but little bitch of the league? You been watching the same game I have? One or two of Shaq's finals MVP's should be Kobe's and Dirk's and 1 or 2 of Nash's MVPs should really be Kobe's. When has Kobe been the "little bitch"? Some no name Knicks player took some cheap shots at him back in like 97, that's all I can remember being relevant.
Sucks for the Clippers but there is only 1 real LA team. The unlikable Microsoft clown owning them after the Nazi does them no good. So adios Clippers, see ya next year. Doc Rivers mad overrated too.
Ehhhh, I don't feel so bad for them. They basically gave up in game 4, and they have both Carroll and Deroazan to guard those types of players. Could be the inner Nets fan in me, but still.
The Raptors are the poster boys for a regular season team with no clutch at all. They folded like a chair last year and did it again this year. Plus Derosan's face looks like it would be more comfortable on a totem pole.
