Oh, and Memphis irritates me.

I hate when the better team loses. LAC has no chance after this round. I just want to see a small market team make a splash, but no...superstar power and favoritism in the officiating will be sure to prevent that. About the only exception was when Detroit beat LAL back in, what was it, 2004? Fuck basketball. This is like watching 3 grey shirted puppeteers steal from the team that's earned the game. Blake Griffin should have fouled out a long time ago, should have been T'd up when he went ballistic over that blocking call. Please, NBA gods, do the right thing. Christ.

Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it. I already doubted the "superstar" label applied to Rudy Gay, but I've seen him make more bonehead passes that result in turnovers in the last few games. Him and OJ Mayo are so...fucking...dumb, it's ridiculous. Like watching gifted athletes as basketball novices out there. Mike Conley's the only guy consistently showing up. ZBo disappears for quarters at at time, Marc Gasol is not dominant in the scoring section of the stat sheet, and Speights got significantly less playing time in this game, for some reason.

I hope they at least go 7, but I don't trust his Memphis team right now. If they can't win 5 on 8 in LA, they can't win game 6 anyway.

Remember when I said that the Clips had "it" and the Grizz didn't?

Well, the Clips have now when 3 very close games because Memphis couldn't stop killing themselves late in games, and don't have "it" whereas the Clips do.

 

[cruzg24]

Man I look so smart picking the Clips over the Grizz.

 

[elcheato]

I was going to post something witty about something NBA related but I forgot

 

[elcheato]

I'll settle for this:

John Schuhmann ‏ @johnschuhmann

DeAndre Jordan, getting paid $10 million, has played a total of 3 4th quarter/OT minutes in 4 close playoff games.

 

[RipCity32]

The whole first round could be done by tomorrow night. And honestly, don't see any of the teams down 1-3 winning to extend the series either.

 

[cruzg24]

Ughhh, 2 sweeps. And the rest of the series' are 3-1, boring!

If there were a team to come back 3-1 in a series, I would put my money on the Grizzlies.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, that is the only series that could be made interesting, in my opinion.

they definitely have "it"

 

[Elite]

I know, I said that CP3 was their "it" when I said they had it

 

[Mexi]

anyways

i hope everyone closes out tonight. lets end this

 

[Hurricane Season]

I just don't want to see the Bulls go out on their home floor.

At least give me that, Bulce.

 

[Mexi]

Dante Cunningham has Hulk strength

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I still think the Grizzlies are gonna win that series honestly.

 

[MR.ballin]

Noah is most likely not gonna play game 5.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't care what the Magic roster looks like next year as long as Hedo Turkoglu isn't on it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Rondo needs to make a much smarter play than that....
