2013 NBA Playoffs

Go Grizz!

So many small market teams doing the game right.

Go Spurs, Warriors, Rockets, Grizzlies.

Go Bulls too (even though they fall into that Superstar market category).

[Who]

Grizzlies playing exceptional defense here. Smothering the Clippers.

[Who]

Clippers going small against Grizzlies big men.

G - C.Paul vs J.Bayless
G - W.Green vs T.Allen
F - G.Hill vs Q.Pondexter
F - M.Barnes vs Z.Randolph
C - B.Griffin vs M.Gasol

Clippers getting some joy offensively with Matt Barnes' jump-shooting but there is no way Barnes can cover Z-Bo on the other end.

Blake Griffin with two big offensive rebounds. Simply too quick and athletic for a plodder like Marc Gasol to box out. Gotta keep attacking the offensive glass.

[Who]

Two very good games going on right.

Thunder just made a 12-2 run to tie things up in Houston. Rockets trying to force a game seven. Very close game. The Grizzlies fought off a brief Clippers rally to finish the third up 13. They are looking good to clinch the series tonight.

I wonder if the Clippers just don't have what i takes. They need to move Bledsoe and get a pure scorer in there. Idk i guess they have Crawford for that but i just don't ever see them becoming a finals contender. IDK tough cause they have great talent but need something else not sure what it is.

[Who]

Whew, wow, Blake Griffin with the quick spin move on the catch blows by Randolph going baseline and finishes with the dunk on the other side of the rim. Amazing explosive move.

Clippers struggling to make any head way here on this deficit. Memphis holding their lead and keeping it up around 10-13 points.

[celticslove]

flop city going down.

[Who]

Oklahoma making a big run here. From around 10 down (midway through 3rd) to up 10 now (midway through 4th). It looks like OKC is going to win this one.

Ah well. None of the teams I wanted to see win today got a result. All lost or are about to lose. Atlanta, Boston, Houston and LAC.

[Who]

Huge three pointer by Fisher. 2nd big three in last few minutes.

Played some really good defense on James Harden too. Steal, passes ahead, fastbreak dunk. 15 point game. Big steal by Fisher playing the passing lanes.

Fisher has been a real difference maker for OKC.

[KGs Knee]

Yeah, that Chris Paul, he's sure some leader.   

What a chump.  Give me Rondo over CP3 any day.

[Lucky17]

Joey "Hitman" Crawford is doing work. Tosses CP3 (Gasol really sold that hit), then tosses Zach Randolph a few seconds later.

[KGs Knee]

Good ole Joey Crawford getting his share of the limelight!

[Atzar]

Joe Crawford making it all about him as usual.

I have no idea how this clown is still a ref.  Every game he officiates is less entertaining because of his presence. 

[D.o.s.]

I wonder if the Clippers just don't have what i takes. They need to move Bledsoe and get a pure scorer in there. Idk i guess they have Crawford for that but i just don't ever see them becoming a finals contender. IDK tough cause they have great talent but need something else not sure what it is.

A coach who can settle on a consistent rotation and defensive scheme might help.

Another couple of years for Griffin and Jordan to develop wouldn't hurt either.

That said, I'm excited for the Grizzlies Thunder series.

[KGs Knee]

Memphis looking nasty!  Have fun OKC...getting bounced next round that is.
