Clippers also had a week off. 1 game is 1 game. But, they have a tendency to have those really terrible games at the worst time.

[Jdm94Coupe]

November 7th, 2012....... Clippers 106....... Spurs 84

Terrible game.... but I dont think it was bad timing.... they have already beat the spurs twice this season. the spurs NEEDED to win..... let's not forget, the clippers had the best record in the NBA before paul went down with a injury...... to put in some perspective how valuable he is, and how strong the Western conference is....

the spurs never need to win any game that isnt a playoff game. They moonwalk into the playoffs every year in 1st place. They do it while relaxing most of the season resting.

hall of fame coach, best PF to EVER play the game. arguably the best 6th man to ever play in the NBA, the deepest team in the NBA. GREAT PG, what's not to love?

but TRUST me, they needed that win.... and the game on March 29th will be great as well to see if the spurs can even the season series. the spurs were embarrassed earlier in the season and coach POP said the clippers were a better team after the blowout game the clippers won. they proved their point last night....... back to the drawing board for the clippers.

21.1 ppg shooting 53% from the field 7.6 assists..... playing the typical light spurs workload with their foot half way on the throttle.

Clippers just in mid season slump happens to everyone.

Heat are getting hot , Knicks cooling off, Memphis playing well, atl DAT 5 seed

[Jdm94Coupe]

21.1 ppg shooting 53% from the field 7.6 assists..... playing the typical light spurs workload with their foot half way on the throttle.

HIS foot is NEVER halfway on the throttle. He's a scorer!! Why are you surprised? Do you see how many shots he takes a game?.....

What is GREAT now is the fact he's setting his teammates up for great shots!! Great season Tony Parker, but they are still 1-2 against the clippers, try not to forget it..... Neither team is the same as last season either!!

But let's quit acting like he's doing something special....... CP3 averaged 21PPG, 11.5 APG, 2.7 SPG, 85% FT, 37% 3P, 49% FG and didn't win the MVP. Great season Tony Parker, but nothing spectacular IMO.

Is Tony Parker Overtaking Chris Paul as NBA's Top Point Guard? | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1539871-is-tony-parker-overtaking-chris-paul-as-nbas-top-point-guard)

Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a complex metric which seeks to capture each player's overall productivity. It is measured per minute and adjusted for each team's pace of play (via ESPN).

LeBron and Kevin Durant lead the league in PER. Chris Paul is third. Tony Parker is fourth.

Paul might be the best ball handler in the game. He can score at will, but he penetrates to pass the ball as well. He's third in assists behind the injured Rondo and Steve Nash.

Paul's scoring average has dipped this season to 16.4 points per game (down from 19.8 PPG last year), but that could just be due to the arrival of Jamal Crawford and the emergence of Eric Bledsoe.

After leading the league in steals for the past two seasons, Paul is currently at the top of that category again. He's an absolute kleptomaniac.

And his overall defense is rock solid, despite his small size (6'0", 175 pounds). Opposing point guards have a 12.9 PER against him (according to 82games.com), which pales in comparison to his own PER of 26.3.

It's hard to argue, when faced with the stats, that CP3 is anything other than the best point guard in the league.

CLEVELAND!!! LMAO..... i can show you cp3 dominating tony parker in the playoffs..... but you will just ignore it again.

but like i said...... when you compare a player vs a player it makes zero sense to say what their TEAM did. Last time i checked the greatest Power forward in the history of the nba and the greatest 6th man in the history of the game played on the same team.... but yea they dont help anything... but here's a little reminder of what you missed in the past....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqtprNCcGNU

[Vteckidd]

not this argument again................

Ill just say this, Chris Paul has the team to go DEEP in the playoffs. He will not play on a better team that what he has right now:
Legit Big Man-DJ
Top 3 PF in the league- Blake Griffin
6th Man of the Year - JCrossover
Former 6th Man-Odom
HOF-Grant Hill
Big Shot- Billups
Backup PG that is a starter on half the NBA teams-Bledsoe
Legit Journeymen- Butler and Barnes
Then they have big men who can bang and give up fouls in Turiaf and Thompson.

He wont get a better team than this, not a better starting 5, or bench. He arguably has a better team than the Spurs at this point in his career.

Do you think Parker is better than CP3? Do you think Jamal Crawford THIS YEAR is better than Gino? Do you think Duncan is better than Griffin? I think you can say YES in almost all those positions. you can argue that in the last minutes of a game, Duncan is FAR more polished than Griffin in creating his own shot and jumper. But numbers wise, Griffin is having a better year, and hes 5 times as athletic.

My point is, CP3 has his chance NOW, if they do not get past the Spurs, his legacy will take a HUGE hit. He will no longer have the "my team isnt good enough" excuse(which was warranted until now). He has to get to the WCF this year, otherwise its a BUST.

VERY VERY well said. Even though they are my team, I don't have them in the Western Conference Finals THIS season. Next Year is the year IMO. It was good for BG32 and DJ to have their first taste of playoff experience last season, BUT I think in order for them to surpass OKC or S.A. Blake Griffin has to be confident about his midrange jump shot. It's getting better but its not on a duncan/garnett/aldridge level. Plus if they end up the #3 seed, they will have to beat OKC to even see the Spurs if they end up #1 seed. So A LOT depends on the seeding!!

2 Reasons they wont make it.

1. Blake Griffin's shooting confidence and lack of rim protection on defense.
2. COACHING COACHING COACHING

BUT I will be watching! LoL. And sinfix...... don't get it twisted, I LOVE the spurs!!! I watch almost every spurs game. The greatest coach in the NBA by far!

[Vteckidd]

I think next year you will lose Bledsoe, possibly all the other role players like Barnes, Butler, Hill, Odom........billups will be another year older. I dont see the Clippers being as good next year as this year, especially when they sign CP3 to a max deal and have to deal with Salary Cap issues. They have DJ to trade, but I think that hurts them, not helps them. Very few legit big men in the game.

[Jdm94Coupe]

No way CP3 sign's without knowing the team will get STRONGER! I think you guys are underestimating how bad he wants to get a title.

And look for a BIG NAME coach to be there next season. But also, don't count them out of this season! Payback game vs. OKC this sunday! Last game they played cp3 didn't play. So I look forward to seeing that game!

[Jdm94Coupe]

Time for the Miami Heat curse to start back up....... teams will start moving out of their way and losing star players to injury. The refs are preparing their whistles to be blown anytime someone comes within 3 feet of Lebron.

[Vteckidd]

Watching the Memphis game last night, I cant believe some of the calls on the Grizz. Phantom foul calls, offensive foul calls, HUGE Missed 5 second call on Birdman during a crucial possession.

Miami did get screwed on the poindexter leg kickout 3 AND 1 call, but i felt like the refs made a 3 for 1 make up call on that one.

lmao! i'm not even going to entertain that crazy statement..... cp3 already showed you there isnt a soul on the lakers roster that can guard him. he made kobe look pathetic..... but i would much rather the clippers play the lakers instead of falling into a 4/5 matchup with the nuggets!

[Vteckidd]

If Pau Gasol comes back, the Clippers do not want to play the Lakers in the playoffs. They are far too dangerous. I think the Clippers are hoping to play someone like the Jazz or Rockets.

Looks like they will get the 4th seed and play Denver. I think they'll lose to the nuggets and be looking for a new coach. He gives too many games away with bad coaching mistakes. No need to worry about the Clippers playing the lakers, they have no will to shoot for the 3rd seed and the lakers will not climb that high anyway. And starting billups at the SG is getting more annoying and annoying. Consider them done.

I hope to see a S.A. vs Miami finals...... only way I will be satisfied.

LoL, have you seen the eastern conference? Stop wishing man, miami wont stumble in the trash eastern conference. But it will be S.A. vs Miami.......

Nobody is surprised by Denver. In the playoffs the game slows down, they won't make it past the 2nd round if they don't lost to the clippers or memphis in the first round..

[Vteckidd]

I dont really see anyone stopping Miami right now in the east. When will Miami play Indiana or Boston? Thats the key. If we are looking at Indiana vs Boston in Round 1 (which would happen RIGHT NOW if playoffs started today) then thats BAD for anti miami people. That would be a long physical series that would eliminate 1 of the 2 teams anyone thinks has a shot at Miami.

Right now we would have
Round 1
Miami vs Bucks
Indiana vs Boston
Knicks vs Chicago
Brooklyn vs Atlanta

Round 2
Miami vs ATL/BROOK
Indiana/Boston vs Knicks/Chitown

Theres a chance that Miami doest EVER play Indiana or Boston in the East. The toughest team theyll face might be Brooklyn in the 2nd round............the knicks are decimated by injuries, i dont see them making it much past the 1st round if at all, Chicago is playing well, and Rose may be back by then........

Ideally we would see Indiana drop to the 4-5 seed, and Boston jump to the 6 seed. That would Force Miami to play Indiana and Boston (assuming Indiana wins 1st round) and Boston would have to beat Knicks/ATL/Chi (which i predict would be easier than Indiana).

Right now, as the seeds look today, Miami has a CAKE walk to the Conference Finals IMO

[Jdm94Coupe]

The ENTIRE Eastern conference is a cake walk for miami. Even if rose comes back and brings his clone with him...... The east sucks, lol.... i hardly watch eastern conference games.....

[Vteckidd]

I still think if the seeding falls right, and Miami has to play BOTH Boston and Indiana, then they could have some trouble

[Jdm94Coupe]

Knicks don't have a championship caliber roster, sorry sir thats a NO. A team full of players with no heart or passion. Indiana will beat them.

Just because you want the heat gone, doesn't mean those trash eastern conference teams will beat them. They picked the right conference to team up in.

As for the clippers. They are exactly what I said they were...... refer back to my previous posts in this thread. WEAK interior defensively and one of the bottom 1/3rd coaches in the NBA. Fire Del Negro and work on post defense and rebounding and they'll be fine.

Honestly, I would love to see Paul on the knicks myself. Even though im from Detroit and we HATE NY.

And yes parker had a nice game 3 vs the warriors. Other then that he's had a bye round and a horrible game 1 and game 2. SO yes, tony parker is a elite PG but certainly not the best. Just because your team is still playing doesn't mean you are better then every other person in the NBA at your position..... ie: felton, chalmers, etc.... it does however mean you have a good team OR lucked out and played a shitty team in round one (knicks, indiana,okc, etc.)

The knicks have as much star power as any team in the league not named the Heat. They SHOULD be a championship contender, whether or not they are, is debatable.

No, just because you're still alive when other teams are gone doesnt mean you're automatically better..... but the kicker is.... Chris Paul is always gone..... and Tony Parker is always in the mix. Great players dont build their legacy during the season. Tony Parker > Chris Paul

Dont be surprised when these old aging spurs who arent suppose to be there, cruise past these grizzlies in 5

that bounce pass parker just threw under the rim in the 3rd quarter....... one of the best passes ive seen this year..... nasty......

spurs vs heat...... this will be epic.

[Vteckidd]

Memphis was down 0-2 to CLippers and 0-1 to OKC. Not out of it, had plenty of chances to steal this game tonight. Spurs will NOT shoot this hot all series. I think Memphis still ties it up, winner of game 5 decides series.

Memphis doesnt appear to have an answer for the defense. I hope the spurs go ahead and put this series on ice in game 3.


Parker with 18 dimes.......................... If they dont find a way to keep Parker out of the paint, this is gonna be a 4 game series. I just want the Spurs to make it through healthy... in my opinion, THIS is the team that was built to put the Heat in their place. Theyre a little old, little past their prime.... but stylistically, the Spurs are the answer to the Heat....

WEll i completely give up on this season. Just cant pick a winner. I figured it was a lock for GRIZZ vs HEAT but the Grizz disappointed me. The GRIZZ should be up 2-1 or down 2-1, now down 3-0.

Give the spurs credit, they battle all game.

I think spurs vs heat will be a great finals if Indiana faulters, but i dont see Spurs winning really, but, SPurs have weapons everywhere where as the Heat really only have weapons in the big 3 (RA and BAttier have been non factors)

[Jdm94Coupe]

Does anyone still feel that Tony Parker is not the best PG in the NBA?????

I still feel the same way I always have, he's the best scoring PG in the game. It's sad that you don't recognize the work put in by his coaches and fellow players. The screens and plays they run are elite. When you have big men that can hit a open jump shot consistently, the defense is terrified to leave them open and gives you a little more freedom to work. He is elite, I have yet to see anybody say otherwise......

finals will be great.

[Sinfix_15]

You're right, you said it from day one and you were right all along, Tony Parker is the best PG in the NBA.

Best scorer. he doesnt really have to pass because his guys can create their own shots and he has TD.

I mean lets face it what the Spurs play is pick and roll and pick and pop basketball. Otherwise TP penetrates and either A) Shoots B) kicks the ball to shooters spotted up in the corners.

Im not so sure hes the best all around PG id still have to put CP3 above him. Rest of the NBA Agrees. CP3 got twice the votes

It's not about creating their "own shot" per say. The fact that duncan is a legendary mid range shooter leaves defenses terrified. Danny green, k. leonard, g.neal, manu, etc are GREAT shooters who consistently keep defenses honest. Imagine tony parker trying to run a pick and pop with blake griffin, lmao double team city! then he becomes 100x less effective, and imagine the APG drop.

tony is great. but something has to be said for playing with the best coach in nba history, best PF in nba history, and the best 6th man in nba history.

If i'm starting a team from scratch i wouldn't. If I knew I had the best PF to ever play the game and they would play together over 10 years, then yes I would take parker. And if i knew the team would have the best coach and coaching staff in the NBA, yes i would choose parker then.

If i had no clue who the other players on the team would be, I would choose paul because i KNOW he's gonna do the best with that team that can virtually be done. whether its scoring, assisting, or being a great on ball defender when healthy. but honestly, when it comes to all the top 5 PG's, just choose one and you won't go wrong. and no deron williams isnt in the top 5, lol.... cause you can DEFINITELY go wrong with his over paid azz.

I just feel that offense from a PG is more valuable than defense from a PG. Paul is a great passer, great defender.... but a PG with the offensive prowess of a Tony Parker.... or Derrick Rose..... i think makes people lose more sleep than worrying about Chris Paul as a defender. As talented as Paul is, to me.... he just doesnt have "it". He's not the stone cold killer that Parker is. He cant put the team on his shoulders and carry them to victory. I know PG purest will loathe this statement, since assist is the "PG stat"... but ultimately, scoring will always carry more weight than passing to someone scores.

I feel like you are living 100% in the present, and completely ignore the obvious talent difference of their teams throughout their entire careers. Paul is NOT just a defender....

I mean come on, the 2nd best player on the clippers is Blake griffin. The spurs have 3 people better then him.

Significance matters........... you might as well be judging someone's preseason stats vs Tony Parker....

Chris Paul has never played basketball on the level that Parker has. Let's wait till Paul even steps on the stage before we start comparing the two. Right now the only thing you can argue is your opinion on what Paul can do on the big stage.... because he's never actually been near it. Tony Parker on the other hand...... he's got his bags packed for the big stage as we speak.

[Sinfix_15]

The Heat... like Lebron.... come and go with their physical advantage. This Heat team cant out smart you.... they cant trick you, they dont out coach you...... if they cant jump over you or shove you out of the way, they lose.

It's that simple....

If they're lucky enough to win game 7 and advance to the finals..... they are going to be playing the smartest, trickiest, best coached team in our lifetime.... led by THE Tony Parker and Mr Fundamental, Tim Duncan.

Miami had a stretch in the 3rd quarter where everything just went in and they blew it open. After that, the spurs looked desperate to catch up and that made it worse. The game was closer than the score, it felt like Miami scored 20 points in 10 seconds at the end of the 3rd and that was a wrap.

It appears Miami isnt going to lay down. Spurs will adjust.

Parker specifically, they seemed to be making a huge effort to bang him up. Lot of hard picks from Lebron.

Clippers arent getting Doc, no chance....

Would you really be happy about that trade? two young talents for a coach and an old player? KG is great.... but unless the clips think they can win a title next year its pointless to trade for him. Only benefit of that trade is if it keeps Chris Paul in town....

I dont expect Chris Paul to stay in LA.... he might be on his way to a team where you can watch him in person.

[Vteckidd]

The Clippers deal is expected to be announced today. Inside sources say that CP3 told FO that if they got Doc he would 100% guarantee he would resign. Doc also said he wouldnt come to LAC without CP3 being there, he wants to coach CP3.

The deal is done.

Clippers Celtics Working On New Version Of Deal To Satisfy NBA - RealGM Wiretap (http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228256/Clippers-Celtics-Working-On-New-Version-Of-Deal-To-Satisfy-NBA)

[Sinfix_15]

The Clippers deal is expected to be announced today. Inside sources say that CP3 told FO that if they got Doc he would 100% guarantee he would resign. Doc also said he wouldnt come to LAC without CP3 being there, he wants to coach CP3.

The deal is done.

2 first round picks + DJ for Doc and KG. Sure PP is to follow

If i owned the clippers and CP3 told me he would resign if i did X.....

I would say "who do you think you are? Tony Parker?"

i dont like the idea of players dictating personnel decisions.... especially players with no rings.

[Vteckidd]

I agree, kinda makes him sound like a Diva

[Jdm94Coupe]

Clippers arent getting Doc, no chance....

Would you really be happy about that trade? two young talents for a coach and an old player? KG is great.... but unless the clips think they can win a title next year its pointless to trade for him. Only benefit of that trade is if it keeps Chris Paul in town....

I dont expect Chris Paul to stay in LA.... he might be on his way to a team where you can watch him in person.

LMAO, only someone like you would be upset at a PREMIER superstar in the game FINALLY getting the coach him and his team deserves. Tony parker has had the best coach in the nba for the better part of the last 10 years. Doc WANTS to coach cp3, and he most likely will. Shit is about to get real in the western conference

GREAT deal!! DJ doesnt protect the rim anyway and can't hit a jumpshot to save his life! KG combined with the young skill players/vets of the clippers plus DOC means a real contender. FINALLY CP3 won't have to play Tony Parker (HOF player), Manu G (HOF player), Tim Duncan (best PF in history), and Coach Pop (top 5 coach in nba history) BY HIMSELF ANYMORE!

tony parker doesn't have to. he has the best coach in the nba. send him to the bobcats and see what happens........(which is what the clippers were before paul came there)

makes him sound like a player who just got done playing for vinny del negro..... i repeat vinny del negro

now DERON williams=diva ....... if you can't work with jerry sloan, avery johnson, and p.j. ...... u think jason kidd will do wonders? lol

I'm not upset about Paul going to a good team or having a good coach..... just annoyed at his methods of acquiring it. This is nothing new..... i hate Lebron for the same reasons.

Tony Parker plays for the team who drafted him. Plays for the coach of that team and plays with the players that the team chose to put around him. The spurs players made the spurs the spurs..... Pop is the best coach because he has players who buy into his system.... if Tim Duncan had the personality of Rasheed Wallace..... you might not think Pop was the best coach in the NBA. The spurs are the spurs because of Parker, Duncan, Ginobili... because of the culture they created. These team jumping primadonnas like Dwight Howard keep complaining about their team and coaches.... maybe they are the reason for their teams lack of character or their coaches ability to coach. A humble superstar like Duncan empowers the coach..... he leads by example and the players follow. The same thing happens with bad players.... they rebel against the system and make excuses.... and their team follows. That is why it annoys me when you act like it's a video game and you can just plug Paul into Parker's place.... you cant measure chemistry.....

I like(d) Paul.... but im starting to like him a lot less now that he thinks he's the clippers GM..... lead by example.... quit making excuses.

[Vteckidd]

The problem I have with CP3 is he seems like its a "everybody elses" fault. Hes basically selling his teammates out to get the coach HE wants. Dont blame him for wanting to play with Doc, but to do it so publicly............

He knew who the coach was with LAC. VDN isnt a BAD coach, he just couldnt coach a team built full of 1 on 1 players. The clippers were explosive when it was run and gun. But they had no halfcourt offense. I said it all year. Playoffs slow down. You can stop CP3, when you have no real SG, and your big men have NO outside shooting ability.

Getting KG will space the floor. Which will allow Griffin to play to his strengths......dunking.

[Vteckidd]

SInfix might be right

TRADE BLOCKED by NBA

NBA Informs Clippers Celtics Blockbuster Trade Wont Be Approved - RealGM Wiretap (http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228259/NBA-Informs-Clippers-Celtics-Blockbuster-Trade-Wont-Be-Approved)

[Jdm94Coupe]

yep. sometimes players are meant to play with bad teamates and bad coaches. shit happens i guess.

coach pop and his staff CHOSE the players and molded them....... not the other way around. you must not remember tony parker early in his career?

[Jdm94Coupe]

but to do it so publicly............


I haven't seen him on ESPN saying anything. Publicly? Besides, saying i will 100% resign if you bring doc rivers in isnt the same as....... bring in doc rivers or i wont resign.... you dont think so?

[Jdm94Coupe]

The problem I have with CP3 is he seems like its a "everybody elses" fault. Hes basically selling his teammates out to get the coach HE wants.

From his style of play and the way he carries himself on the floor. I haven't seen 1 single ounce of "its everybody elses fault". He plays unselfish and plays selfish when need be. The only thing we know is, he got onto blake griffin for being "too soft" and letting randolph "bully and dominate him"..... which is what your superstar should do when he see's a talent like BG. Their lack of paint presence (offense AND defense) killed them, you can't blame cp3 for being upset, not everyday a PG gets to play with a player like duncan.

Even if they don't get doc, george karl is a damn good choice. Byron scott too..... im not sure i would want to play for brian shaw though. first time coach ummmm idk.

David Robinson and Tim Duncan are the creators of spurs culture...... had either of them been rebels, that would have carried over to the players. Pop cannot exist without a player like Duncan............... Duncan allows himself to be held accountable for his mistakes..... he leads the way in taking responsibility and putting team first. His team follows.

Chris Paul blames the coach, blames the team.. blames everything else..... and that personality trait is going to follow him no matter what team he plays for. When you allow anyone to complain, you allow everyone to complain.

I Dont think a player with NO RINGS should dictate who his coach should be. just my .o2.

The Clippers had their best season in franchise history, VDN had nothing to do with it?I agree VDN wasnt THEIR coach of the future, but to sell him out is kinda crappy. So what happens when they get Doc and get bounced out of the first round next year? Trade Blake? Trade..................?

Publicly meaning its being reported that he is the one that told the Clippers FO to reopen negotiations with the celtics. All major media outlets are reporting it.

Just like D12, you dont have to go on ESPN to make it "public"

[Vteckidd]

When have you seen this?

They fired VDN because CP3 didnt want him, they are pursuing this crazy BOS trade because CP3 said "do it or im not resigning". Reports earlier this year were that he wanted an input on roster moves in the offseason.

[Jdm94Coupe]

rings has nothing to do with anything. if you dont wanna play with a soft PF and you're a free agent. you have the option to leave.

if the front office asks you what can they do to keep you and you respond. so what? if you asked me what i would've said it would've been my honest opinion. our coach is toooo predictable and doesn't adjust in game. and our "big man" is soft as a bag of pillows. if you don't like it then let him leave and go wherever he wants.

the fact remains he wants a ring..... NOT EVERYBODY IS BLESSED TO PLAY UNDER COACH POP AND PLAY WITH TIM DUNCAN......simple as that.... lebron had the same issues in cleveland.

you can't win a "ring" with bad players surrounding you. as much as they act like jordan won 6 rings by himself, he didnt! and him and pippen had A LOT to say about getting tony k.

[Jdm94Coupe]

Oh and what excuses do you think the people who HATE the heat will have tonight IF they win?

Refs? .... David Stern wants the heat to win? ....... He wants a "big market" team to win? The excuses will be Great to hear!

[Vteckidd]

The Refs havent determined the outcome of any game IMO. They have all been blowouts except for Game 6..and maybe game 1

[Vteckidd]

Bulls had 3-4 rings when they got Kukoc right?

CP3 is going to be a FA, he has teams to choose from. Hes also playing next to a top 20 PF, a future HOFer in Big Shot, 6th man of the year IMO , Grant Hill, the team wasnt crappy. He has tons of talent around him

[Sinfix_15]

Oh and what excuses do you think the people who HATE the heat will have tonight IF they win?

I call it how i see it......

Refs helped the Heat last season.......

This season theyve earned the spot theyre in. The refs know they couldnt get away with it again..... they have to keep it on the DL.

I have zero complaints about anything that has happened this season.

[Sinfix_15]

Spurs 1 rebound or 1 free throw away from the title..... so sad......


For once.... i cant hate on Lebron.... he made the most of the opportunity given to him and finally earned a championship. Refs didnt hand it to him.... no teams laid down for him..... he faced formidable opponents on their A game and he managed to be the last man standing. Cant do anything but give him props.

[Vteckidd]

Great game, Spurs just ran out of gas. you could tell they were borderline exhausted close to collapsing. Give credit to King James, what a performance. Game 7, 37 points, shooting Js with authority. Proved all the doubters wrong.

Classy moves by all players at the end to shake hands and hug. good for the NBA.

Till next year .....................................

[Jdm94Coupe]

Yea I think I'm going to sell my TV and save up for a BIG boy for next NBA season, lol. Since I watch virtually NOTHING else!

Side Note: We doing fantasy football again?

[quickdodge®]

I would never refer to anyone as "King" ___________.

I was hoping the Spurs were going to pull it off, but I had a feeling that after they gave up game 6, they wouldn't bounce back in number 7.

[Jdm94Coupe]

Doc Rivers is now the clippers new coach! I can't wait for next season!

Dont speak soooo soon sinfix, where's there's a will there's a way. Very interesting to see the #1 coach in the nba (pop) vs the #2 coach in the nba (doc)
