The OFF Dunk... OFF the Glass from Wade, Bron Jumps OFF the Wrong Foot & Smashes it w/his OFF (Left) Hand...The Level of DIFFICULTY on that Play CANNOT Be Overstated... REED:clapagain:
Great performance by the refs tonight. When they have a big game they almost always contribute to the win. Golden State is lucky to have them.
REED Would Loooooooooove to See the Clippers & Golden State Bump Heads in a 7 Game Series!!!.... REED:mj:
FANTASTIC Game Tonight, btwn the Clippers & the Trailblazers...Portland Led MOST of the Way, then CP3 Turned on the Offense in the 4th & the Game Eventually Went to Overtime... Paul was DRAINING Big Shot After Big Shot in the 4th (Jumpers, Layups, You Name It) & was RIDICULOUS, Statistically...34pts, 16ast, 6stl...WTF??!!::...The #'s are Soooooo ABSURD, they're FUNNY...35pts, 11boards, 2blks for Griffin...Despite those GAUDY Stats, the Clippers Actually LOST!!!... BONAFIED MVP Candidate, LaMarcus Aldridge, Finished w/32pts, 10boards, 4asts...Batum & Matthews "QUIETLY" Chipped in w/19pts Apiece... Yet Another 7 Game Series REED Would Loooooooooooooove to See!!!... REED:bears:
paul seemed to get tired toward the very end of regulation and OT. he missed that last jumper that couldve won it and several open makable shots in OT
True, but like Steve Kerr was Saying, Things will Get ALOT EASIER for Paul & Griffin, 1nce J.J. Reddick's Back & Hitting Wide Open 3's...Reddick's STROKE & Doc's COACHING will ELEVATE the Clippers Higher than they've EVER Been, in the Playoffs... Not Saying they'll WIN or Even ADVANCE to the Finals, but they'll Play a PROMINENT Role in the Eventual Outcome... REED:kidcool:
i dont really think this clipper team is much better than last season personnel wise, if at all. if teams take the ball out of paul's hands by trapping him the clippers dont have anyone else who can create shots for teams mates. and other than crawford no one else who can even create a shot for them self. they may get further than last year since memphis has dropped off a bit, possibly. i still would be surprised if they made it past round 2 rivers is a much better coach, so there is that factor. he has improved jordans game
On PAPER, they're Not Much Better, but they've Made Some Nice, SUBTLE Moves...CLEARLY, Paul & Griffin will Be the Focus of the Clippers CHAMPIONSHIP Aspirations, but they've Got Some NICE Role Players Too... Knowing Most Teams Consider Blake Griffin "Soft", Doc Rivers ADDED a Certified NBA Roughneck in Stephen Jackson & Re-Signed Matt Barnes...On that Note, Golden State Better Advise Andrew Bogut to CHILL OUT w/his Wannabe Bill Laimbeer Routine on Blake, the Last 2 Times they've Played...w/Barnes & Jackson on the Team, Steph Curry AND Klay Thompson Stand Out as EASY Targets for Retaliation...Or, if Worse Came to Worse, REED's Pretty Sure Jackson Wouldn't Hesitate in Playing Kermit Washington to Bogut's Rudy Tomjanovich... Reddick's a LIGHT's OUT Shooter who's Been "Forced" Into Doing Tooooo Much in Other Places...@ the NBA Level, Reddick's a Catch & Shoot Guy, which is ALL the Clippers are Asking of him...Take & MAKE Open Shots...They Also Added Antawn Jamison, who's STILL Capable of 12-18 CRUCIAL Points on a Given Night...Collison's Not a Difference Maker, but he DOESN'T Hurt you Either...Jared Dudley's Not a Reddick Level Shooter, in REED's Opinion, but he's There to Nail Wide Open 3's Too.... Under Doc's Lead, REED ALREADY Sees More SUBSTANCE Out of Blake Griffin...Doc's Got him Playing MORE like the Rookie w/Limitless POTENTIAL than the 1-Dimensional DUNK Machine Griffin SETTLED For Being...& Then, there's DeAndre Jordan, who You've Mentioned....Doc's Getting MORE than just Highlight Reel Dunks Out of Jordan...19boards Tonight, for Example... The Clippers are Still FINDING Their Way Right Now, but REED would Be STUNNED if they Failed to Make it to Western Conference Finals, @ the Very Least... REED:kidcool:
Jackson hasnt even played yet. Good cheerleader so far. Barnes was good to keep but he's been nicked and was playin a lot better last year. I liked the dudley pickup at the time but hes yet to fit in or make many shots. Butler was better last year. reddick is an ok player. I dont know if he'll get bigtime minutes in crunchtime over crawford tho. my guess is it would be at Dudleys expense and that weakens the perimeter defense a lot. As much as I think odom is a bitch his loss is noticeable. Clips need to pick up a credible big to come off the bench if they wanna go anywhere
It's NOT Even about Productivity w/Barnes or Jackson, they'll Keep Other Teams HONEST...Hell, w/Out Playing a SECOND of the Actual Game, Jackson was ALL UP IN the Middle of the Post-Game Skirmish Christmas Night, that Started w/Bogut & Paul...That's 12 Fouls to Give, by Guys who DON'T Give a Fuck about Fines & Whatnot... REED Expects to See Less & LESS Attempted "Punking" of Blake, Based SOLELY on the Presence of Barnes & Jackson...Christmas Night was THE LAST Time Barnes &/or Jackson will Sit Idly By, as Blake Gets Rough Housed...Watch & See... Butler was a STREAKY Shooter...Reddick & Dudley are STRICTLY Shooter's...They'll BLEND Better w/the Team than Butler Did, Even Though Caron IS Better than Both of them...You'll See, Reddick's Gonna EMERGE as the Clips' BIGGEST Threat from Downtown...He's NEVER Been in a Situation where NOBODY Would Pay Attention to Him... REED:kidcool:
apparently this kid Bobby Brown who went to westchester high school out here just scored 74 points in a game in the chinese league.
The only thing has been Deandre's improvement. They lost Eric Bledsoe which was probably the biggest factor in the offseason. I think Caron Butler is garbage but Jared Dudley has been even worse. He's an overrated defender who cant hit a shot right now. Barnes getting off to a slow start is the icing on the cake right now. The Clippers went to having a feared bench to to a very average one.
Westbrook just had surgery on his right knee again and is out for 2 months. This season has been pretty depressing.
:hair: The League's 2 Most ATHLETIC PG's have Dealt w/Injuries All Season, Kobe's Dealt w/Injuries All Season, Rondo's Been Hurt All Season...WTF???!!!...
I had asked you about Brown towards end of training camp, his name had been linked to Knicks possibly giving him a look by the local papers. They went with Tou're Murry ( who had an offer from Heat) instead and Jr's care package
looks like cavs suspended Bynam. Want to trade him immediately. i say Miami should make a play for him.
Yeah they need that size. Maybe Bron & Co can keep him in check. I dont like Bynum one bit, but heat need a big guy in there
