LVP Candidate Blake Griffin 1-11 since OP was made; I lost

@Gil Scott-Heroin
I extend my hand to you and invite you to become an honorary member of the James Harden fan club breh. We forgive you for your years of hating. We know you have seen the light and want to join the club. Let's not be enemies but rejoice in the awesome show put on by one of our favorite players breh. We know you meant well with your initial refusal to acknowledge his greatness. He even made 2 defensive game-winning blocks down the stretch last game to take away your last reasons for doubt.

@Tha_Mac @GilSho @DonKnock Let's forgive our brother. We know he loves James Harden's game. He's seen the light and is ready to embrace the effectiveness of his game in regular season and playoffs.

The reactionary threads can stop won't stop

Dribble Dribble really has both franchises looking better without him playing. Isnt that a bytch

This is 100% not the case for the Rockets.

Harden's minutes played have been through the roof and we consequently look sloppy and our depth is shot because the Grizzlies took out 3 of our players

I'm straight heated with these claims about the Houston collapse right now.

CP3 scored 12 out of 15 Clippers points during a run where they stretched the lead to 19 in the 3rd quarter. Then Doc took him out of the game.

The next 5 Clippers possessions:

Blake turnover
Blake turnover
Rivers missed layup
Rivers missed three
Reddikk missed three

Doc realizes the rest of the team doesn't have shyt and brings CP3 back in, who immediately sets up a made three for Crawford, but with Terrance Jones hitting a three on Blake the lead is now just 13 going into the 4th quarter.

In the 4th Corey Brewer suddenly goes crazy, scoring 9 of the next 12 points (the other was a 3 by Ariza). Then Josh Smith suddenly catches fire, scoring 8 straight before Brewer makes 5 more. The two of them take turns down the stretch in the most unlikely playoff scoring duo ever.

Meanwhile, everyone on the Clippers not named "Chris Paul" looks like they forgot how to play basketball. Blake Griffin goes 0-5 for the quarter, with four of those misses coming at the rim, and commits three fouls while being completely unable to stop either Brewer or Smith. Crawford goes 0-4 and commits two fouls. CP3 was missing some shots too, but still scored more than everyone else on the Clippers combined (9 for CP3 in the 4th, just 6 for everyone else). And despite all the time that CP3 has the ball in his hands, there were 4 Clippers turnovers in that final 15-minute run and not a single one was on him.

And you're talking about the guy who had just had the incredibly clutch Game 7 against the Spurs in the first round (27 points on 9-13 shooting including the game-winner over Duncan, all on a pulled hamstring) and who had missed Game 1 and Game 2 due to that same injured hamstring. He was running around at 75% and still looked like the best player on the court.

I don't know what you wanted CP3 to be able to do to stop Smith/Brewer from lighting up the Clips, get Blake to stop turning the ball over and missing bunnies, and have Crawford hit a damn shot when it mattered.



p.s. - in the three losses to end the series, the Clippers were -25 in 23 minutes when CP3 sat. That's why Doc had to force an injured player to stay in 40 minutes/game.

Talk that shyt!

these nikkas like making shyt up. The Rockets offense looks like shyt especially with Ariza out. They damn sure could use another star player right about now. That game vs Sacramento wasnt pretty at all

STATBOY CONTINUES TO PROVE HE'S A COMPUTER WITH NO SOUL

 

[Strapped]

Is blake a real negro ?

 

[NormanConnors]

at the blatant revisionism of that Rockets/Clippers game in this thread.

Pull up the series thread

Eric Gordon has been amazing attacking the basket so far this year. Luc has brought a small element of this attacking close outs that Ariza isn't very successful at. But this can't be counted on consistently.

From seeing Chris and Harden in person on the same floor, CP just hits the shooters in the shot pocket more precisely than Harden does. Without this the role player shooting has suffered.

MVP candidate after 4 games?

[thelonious21]

They went to him every play down the stretch...refs did everything they could to give this game to the blazers...but b gizzle has his own team now....cpWho

you a lie.. they was slobbing the clips... CJ and Dame was accosted and no calls Neg Dap Undap

 

[Sterling Archer]

This team is a perfect example of what's called the Ewing Theory basically how a team can preform better and win games without their best star player

Same could be said about the spurs

Chris Paul was never their best player. The irony in your statement is that when Blake went down and Clips went on a streak, they were saying the same shyt you just said in favor of cutting Blake. Anyone who has watched that team over the years shouldve seen that Blake running that team with CP as support gave them the best opportunity to win rather than supporting CP with Blake. They play different through Blake. Better and more entertaining.
