The clown actually ran ads for new balance implying that he's the new king of LA.

Meanwhile Patrick Beverley 's tears is every nba players delight. Lillard and cj go wild on Twitter

I need to find that clip

Roland17:
Doc has to go! There is no 2 ways about it.. The culture and attitude of this team has been indifferent and that boils down to a lack of discipline. You can not turn it on and off whenever you want. They approached the Hubble with a lot of negligence. A lot of their players showed up whenever they wanted and today they paid dearly for it.

Agreed. The casualness bothered me. Like they expected to just show up against Lakers in the WCF. No matter how good you think you are, you cant sleepwalk thru the playoffs

etidy:
You don't go to LA after a circus of a free agency, set up shop opposite the king, get all the players you want, win all the trades and hoard all the talent in the league including all the best assistant coaches and load management just to score 14 points in a game 7.
Curry would have been murdered and is still been murdered while having relevant excuses and he didn't score 14 points in an elimination game

likewise lebron woulda been chewed out

A40:
Especially him. Are you watching?

I was. Man, what a let down. Im not a clipper fan but this has to be a major shock

A40:
Omo as Denver come dey play like who wan win wetin make we do? Let's hope for the best. The Clippers have shown themselves to be frauds

Including Kawhi?

steady986:
D'antoni bailing on the Rockets after tearing them apart. Lol

not his fault. we have an educated fool for a gm

SmooshCHN:
Let's go Nuggets!!!
Just me shouting as a

Funny thing is, Denver will fold if they face LeBron and his boys. There's levels to this shít. They had better let Clippers go and save us the time and drama.

I smell fear in your voice

steady986:
Just look at the last 2 quarters. This is unacceptable from Doc and the boys.

Doc rivers getting exposed. He generally never answers a run. Just leaves the players out there until the lead is like 5

Birdman,

How market?

Ima take a 40 in a bit, sleep it off. I cannot come an kee myself on some boneheads

Straight from clutchfans

All the dumbrick stans are too embarrassed to admit they were wrong from the beginning

Meltdown in clutch city right now. Predicted this mess when from the start...

Roland17:
Westbrook no go kee me!
Baba is down by 26 and mouthing off saying “You can’t guard me, you got to double me”. If you are wondering, he has only 8 points...

This one off me!!!

WB is a proper yam head.

I always felt Vogel was a better fit for Lakers than Lue... His defense when he was pacers head coach was consistently stingy

Lowry is all grown up mentally. Separation from derozan has toughened him up

SmooshCHN:
Someone please tell Stephen Anthony Smith to shut the héll up about Steve Nash getting the Nets job. Which one is System again? Must everything be attributed to racism?

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It puts pressure on the league for the next coach opening.

Im like you, i feel like hes whining. But sometimes you do what you have to. As an African, many of the privileges I take for granted is because someone whined and protested etc Im not going to knock SAS game. He is taking a big risk with this

Why is tnt playing lil flip? Insult on injury. If any team can win this game, we can. Knock down 5 straight 3s and we back in the game

steady986:
The moment Vogel threw in a rookie for his first important minutes in these playoffs I knew he had figured this matchup out. That was a strong message.

And what's with Houston attempting only 13 threes in a half of a basketball game? I give Vogel the credit here, he's got D'Antoni doing things he's not comfortable with. They're driving to the basket more, thus the high amount of free throws. But that doesn't seem to be the answer either. And the rebounds are truly killing them now. I mean, what were you thinking? It's basketball, you'd yearn for a big man at some point I promise you.

I said as much game 2

Wow what a game!! Im ok with whoever wins gane 7. celtics are deadly. Raptors got heart. Except nick nurse with a stupid timeout... Gave celtics a timeout to plan. Smh

Roland17 u ok? Even me i feel like ran 100m

Afr0mentalist:
I'm waiting for the next game to have a definite idea on this series. At the moment I am inclined to say lakers in 6.

we were hot from the 3, and still lost. Which makes me think the Lakers have our game figured out. So lakers in 6 looks possible. But if we reduce Westbrook's role, and Harden plays more disciplined, I think we push this to game 7, or Rockets in 6. Problem with Harden is those dagger shots are also shots that cost us games, so we have to live with that.

aliondo:
Na so we see am bro but still going strong..

Pls no forget to wash Brodie head before the next game..

I should waste holy water on unfortunate head. the way the guy will be barking like dog after one jump shot, I know his case can never be resolved until his career is over. I will rather use the water to boil egg. At least it will have been useful

Roland17:
This life no balance at all...None of the Rockets players wan even shake Westbrick during timeout

stop eeet

aliondo:
Lol ..I dey oh...na job I dey find...this country tire person....

Man sorry to hear this. And its harder to escape country these days

SIRcumalot:
Rondo and the Lakers has been great this first quarter.
Your move Dantoni..

We go flog king comot crown tonite

Playoffs are cooking! Now we need bucks to step up and not get swept lol

Black coaches have legit beef. Most of the damage is not obvious unless you are in the circle and know who is who. Just like corporate america. That being said, continually whining about it is counter productive imo. But its easy for me to say... Im not really affected. What would really work would be more black owners. Instead of more black employees

I didnt watch the game but looking at the box score, this win makes me nervous. Gordon went off. Westbrook went off. But on the Lakers side no one other than lebron and AD did much. This wont happen for 4 games in 7

chic2pimp:
No two ways about this. They completely folded.




Yup!....He has certainly been piss poor. The buck stops with Him and Coach Bud. There is something just not sitting right with Him this post season and I can't really place a finger on what that is.

Whatever the reason, He needs to go into the offseason with a clear head and really think about His future. A change of scenery might be all He needs.

I missed all games today. But Im guessing Giannis still cannot solve double and triple teams. At this point, he is looking more like an elite slasher and less like a top 5 nba player. He needs to talk to Lebron this offseason (he shoulda taken that movie role), to learn how to see the game at another level. Be able to recognize defensive schemes and adjust...

Roland17:
You guys played some very impressive defense to force several TO. I think that’s something to be excited about going into the Lakers series.

Problem is this kind of D is not a habit for Rockets. We would rather outshoot opoonents. If Lakers have Rondo we in trouble because he has good PG instincts.

post=93515081:
You are right.

Westbrook and CP3, who do you think is the better player?
All round, not just for this play-off?

Cmon. Without westbrook we win by 10

Harden came through! We have lots of cleanup to do though. Cant play Lakers like this

My liver.... 1.4s

Roland17:
@birdman, I hope say you don pack Mike D'Antoni bag because if he loses tonight's game, he is done.. I don't see a way he returns next season.

We no pack anything baba. We playing lebron this weekend

Afr0mentalist:
The 3rd should be the rockets time. They have to break at this point. The game should not be close in the 4th if not that would be difficult to predict.

Its like these guys have our playbook. No matter how hot we get they seem to come right back

Roland17:
I would hope not! There is a difference between playing hard and sending a message in this era and targeting to potentially disable a player. In the 90's this could have been okay but now? Absolutely not..I even blame the Mavs players for this..No one in the entire roster could send a similar message to the Clippers best player. I mean, touch up Kawhi with some very hard fouls like the Clippers did to Doncic..

Doc rivers is not this era. Mavs didnt try the same because Carlisle dont play like that. And thats how I know there was some buy in from Doc on this. You cant get away with it constantly unless coach ok with it
