Wilbon is a douche....but hes not off the mark here. Not quite everyone healthy considering Rose was on a 20 min cap and Thibs ran his minutes out in the 3rd quarter. But since he was in full chuck mode with the pointless 3's and not being aggressive it wouldn't have mattered.

Speaking of Thibs, that guy is a dead man walking. His rotations are horrible and completely set in stone. He's a defensive coach who can't get his team to play defense anymore and his main offensive set consists of dumping it to Pau and having everyone stand around and watch. Ron Adams is one of the best assistants in the league and helped Thibs make a big impact his first few years......whatever happened to that guy? Oh yeah...our idiot front office fired him merely to send the message they are in charge. Paxson fucking choked and assaulted his coach and still has a job....and the FO is firing a coach who is now the top assistant for the best team in the league.

Oh....and that one guy who trolled me a few pages back.

How come the Heat fans dont come out to the arena anymore?

Steph Curry is attempting 8.5 3's per game since the All Star Break and is making 52 percent of them.

Last night was just ridiculous.

The final few minutes especially. Bananas.

You are so insufferable, man.

I feel like its a fair question.

It was a nationally telivised game that the coach called the biggest game of the season....and nobody came.

As a Warriors fan I would really like the Spurs to be the number 2,3, or 6 seed.

Anybody see the T the league recinded on westbrook? Seems like special treatment but maybe it was a bad call.

I didn't see what led to the call but from what I gather it was kind of a BS technical.

If there is a God, Davis and the Pelicans will beat the Spurs and get in over the OKC Westbrooks.

I wish the Spurs/Pellies game was televised. I'm also hoping the Pacers beat the Grizzlies tonight to make the playoffs. A way better option than the Nets.

Playoff time. Predictions for first round below.

Warriors over Pelicans in 5
Rockets over Mavs in 7
Spurs over Clippers in 6
Grizzlies over Blazers in 6

Hawks over Nets in 5
Cavs over Celtics in 5
Raptors over Wizards in 7
Bulls over Bucks in 6

I think the Blazers can beat the Grizz despite their injuries and Wiz can beat the Dinos. Other than that it looks good to me.

As a Rocket backer I have a bad feeling about this series vs the Mavs. I will say Mavs in 7. Hope I am wrong.

I don't see any way the Nets take a game off the Hawks.

I can see both of those happening. The Wiz/Raptors series is ultimately a toss up to me.

Your starting eastern conference backcourt really brought it today. Lol what a putrid game to kick off the playoffs.

Im trying to figure out why the Clips crowd was chanting 'mvp' when chris paul was at the free throw line? Is it a thing now for crowds to do that when a random all star caliber, but not close to mvp, player gets hot during a game?

A crowd can chant mvp for a former mvp or one of the top few candidates during a season. Thats it. Thats why they are Clippers fans I guess...

As far as the game goes I still would worry about depth if I was the clippers but the spurs looked pretty oldand unathletic tonight. Especially parker.
