They went 2 for 1!

Too many big time players fouling out in games to start the playoffs. Griffin. Aldridge. Howard. Gasol. I'm sure there's been more, but I haven't seen every game.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Had to be something on that fastbreak if that's what you're referring to. It's either a block or a charge but it's not a no-call

No. It's before that. I understand their frustration with that one, but think Conley was in position before Durant got in the air, so it should have been a charge if anything.
 
And yes, Scott Brooks is a terrible in-game coach. No question about it.

 

[elcheato]

They should probably stop fouling then.
 
3 of those were in overtime, by the way

I was about to say "tell them to stop fouling" but then nola or someone would've called me a cyber-bully

Well, Howard and Griffin's 6th fouls were fouls committed against them and not by them. Gasol and Aldridge both made awful plays on their 6th fouls. I'm just saying it's starting to add up and not every 6th foul has been legitimate.

I'm just glad because I argued hard against my friends today that Memphis wasn't going to get swept. Always fun being right

Pels lineups this year is unreal.

Take OKC for example. They had 1 lineup that played 500+ minutes together (Jackson, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins), 2 that played 300+ minutes together, and 5 that played 100+ minutes together. Memphis had 1 lineup that played 500+ minutes together (Conley, Lee, Prince, Randolph, Gasol), 4 that played 150+ minutes together. Clippers had 1 lineup that played 325 minutes together, 3 that played 270 minutes together, and 8 that played 120+ minutes together. Golden State had 1 lineup that played 800+ minutes together (Curry, Thompson, Iggy, Lee, Bogut), 2 that played 300+ minutes together, and 5 that played 90+ minutes togther.

The Pels? One lineup that hit 200 minutes, nothing higher than that, and four that played 100+ minutes. Our closing five only played 90 minutes together all season. Like a wasted season.

Westbrook can't just pass the ball to KD every play. He's gotta attack the hoop

 

[CameronCrazy06]

It always has to come back to the Pelicans, doesn't it...

Skip Bayless would argue otherwise lol

If it was a wasted season, why not tank to get your pick back?

Lmao

durant was tripled on the last two possessions of the game. One he passed to Ibaka who travelled, the other he missed the shot.


If Russ just drove to the basket, he'd make it. ZBo was the only dude above 6'5" on that court for Memphis

cause this draft sucks just let philly keep the pick

How do you tank? I've stated the injuries before. Six of our seven top scorers ended the season on the bench, many more missed a whole lot more time than just a few games. I'm not saying they tried to tank, because I honestly believe those guys were hurt, but if you're still winning games what are you going to do?

The Clippers have made so many moves since the offseason

Redick
Dudley
Granger
Collison
Turkoglu
Davis

Might be missing one or two. Gotta give em credit for gelling especially when a lot of their players have missed time

 

[elcheato]

Watching Conley play so well, it's as if my own son accomplished something here today
