Yeah people, c'mon this is the playoffs. As Kobe said, the playoffs are like a Marathon. You can go and sink someone on their home court, and then get blown out by one of the largest margins in playoff history, just ask the Golden State Warriors.

btw ybbiz, Granger lit up the Dubs last night. That guy when he's healthy can shoot!

Don't worry. I hear Dubs are pretty good on their home court at "Roar-icle Arena".

Lost 2 close ones in Oakland... 1st was on Christmas when Blake Griffin was tossed because "bogus" got tangled up with him (on purpose). Second was a close one "without" Chris Paul. When you lose by 40 points shouldn't matter which arena you are in. You are "not" a better team. Last game showed Griffin's dominance when he plays more than 4 minutes in the 1st half.

Blake is on a different level. #3 on the MVP ladder.. I can only imagine his improvement over this summer to next season. When our bench doesn't brick everything thrown at the rim that's just adding salt to the wound.

The Christmas game was a travesty. That game was close and competitive and Clippers were coming on, then Dray-bum Green and Andrew Bogus start acting like thugs in the middle of West Oakland, and get Blake ejected.

I like the Dubs, but I can't stand the "hey we're tough thugs straight outta Oakland" mentality some of their players have. Jordan Crawford bum rushing Collison, and Spieghts trying to elbow Davis were totally uncalled for. I'm glad Bogus broke his ribs. Thug life baby.

At the time the trade went down, I thought it was brilliant to dump Granger and get something in return (Turner) instead of just letting him walk for nothing after the season.

Now, I think it's one of the worst mistakes that Larry Bird made. Granger has solid playoff experience and now, more than ever, I think he was the glue that held the Pacers locker room together.

He was the only long-term veteran on the team that had been drafted by the organization.

Two things sadden me...
#1 Though at the time Eric Gordon was a beast... he's nothing now.. should have traded him for granger when the proposed trade went though..

#2 WTF is Al Farouq Aminu doing now? We should drafted picked Paul Geroge


I'm happy how things worked out. I really hope Granger stays and jumps into our starting lineup next year. The Jordan Crawford hockey check non basketball play was more of their (GSW) antics trying to hurt our players.
I've heard a lot of flopping comments about the Clippers.. but have only seen the flopping coming from GSW. Either way. Game 1 was def handed to you by the refs (hate using that as an excuse). We didn't help ourselves with the turnovers but when the 3rd best basketball player in the league only gets 4 minutes in the 1st half its pretty bad.

Whats with Mark Jackson's coaching? Letting his players get 3-4 fouls in the 1st 2 quarters?

Granger can start when he proves he's not going to shatter running down the court. So far so good, but the playoffs, especially in the West, are going to be grueling this year.

Even though the season series says otherwise, I feel the Clippers have a better chance vs. the Grizzlies (Griz 2 Clips 1) than they do vs. the Thunder (split 2-2)

Yes I may be jumping ahead of myself but I feel the Clippers will take first round in 6

Pacers didnt clinch the #1 seed from playing good. They only clinched it because the Heat played worst than the Pacers and lost the last few games of the regular season.

12-14 record since March and getting blown out by #8 seed with a 46% regular season record is definitely something to be worried about, IMO.

I still think the Pacers will beat the Hawks but getting past Chicago or Miami is a whole different story.

You can tell Mark Cuban is an actual fan and his passion shows. Glad he's in Dallas!

They need me to suit up to stroke some threes. I honestly think I could turn in a better stat line than Hibbert.

Regardless of how the Pacers finished (which admittedly, it was lackluster final month), that team busted its ass the entire season to put itself in a position to be able to secure the 1 seed. And they won the few games they needed to down the stretch to prevent it from slipping away after having it locked down for a long while.

Yes, I'm concerned with their play as of late but to boil the entire season down to March and 1 playoff game is a little much for me.

Not me. Just glad that there's a possibility that Heats won't be facing them anymore.

Heat wasn't going to face the Bulls anyways. Unless Pacers lose to the Bulls.
