lets go Cliplets!!!!!

need to play some team ball!!

is jr smith here yet?
Not first but

First to say first

CP must be hurting

How else to explain his crappy stats? He should be beasting on Kidd.

Problem is Kidd isnt guarding him
No, he has a sore knee.
Paul is being guarded by Marion
my bad

I’m at work waiting for a conference call and following the game on my blackberry. Kinda hard to follow what’s going on

CP3 must play more in the 2nd half

He played 14 in the first half, I want to see at least 16 in the 2nd.

If DJ continues not playing well, bench him for Martin and/or Evans.

Keep 2 of Butler, Blake, Cp3 out there at all times.

If CP3 is sore/hurting, I would prefer him rest

I don’t mind sacrificing one game for the long run

Especially if it is a game that he would have to play heavy minutes.

And still being in great risk of losing.

In the end, the thing that's hurting the Clippers is defense

It won’t be Chris Paul necessarily that “leads” this team to a turnaround victory, as much as it is the preventing Dallas from penetrating and forcing D.Jordan from having to ditch his man.

Foye at sg= problem
we need to nail some more 3s this game
Chris Paul having trouble penetrating

This is trouble

At least we are out rebounding Dallas?
Dallas still shooting north of 50%....57 to be exact
ah that's terrible

but something we’ve grown used to with this defense.

Dallas has alot of length

Whe have alot of shorth

That's why CP is having trouble getting in.

The passes are getting deflected by all the long arms. and Foy just can’t guard Carter so

So guard Carter with butler and

Hope Marion sucks the rest of the game

From your mouth to VDN ears

Makes no sense to keep him on Carter

Kidd Is Playing Pretty Good Tonight

but I think Sammy was better at 38 years old

Foye better come out shooting at least 50%

If not, off with his head.

Good defense

Everything else will come I hope

why does it seem like Carter always burns us?
Cuz he does

Better hope he don’t hit a three at the end cuz Novak is gone to answer lol

BREAKING NEWS.. DWIGHT HOWARD TRADED TO THE WARRIORS!!
Thats what she said
AND OSI, TUCK, AND JPP GOT TRADED TO THE CHARGERS!
what!!!!!
foye is pissing me off
We need more than 1 point from Foye! Stop doing your Gomes impression!
Anyone else see the riddler in the Dallas crowd?
Foye, Foye, Foye SMH
I will say

Vince Carter does look old..

Who's the Willie Nelson old man in leopard print
Weren't the Clippers supposed to be debuting the blue alternatives this road trip?

Or did I miss something?

This Dallas defense is incredible
Marion is not letting CP get free
Foye is just abismal tonight.

Why go for a steal

looks like kaman is having a good game

Up on the jazz and has 20-10. Hopefully they can showcase him for a trade or at least for his next contract.

game over!

foye is being less useful than garbage

Keep feeding Butler!
Lol

CP3 had Foye wide open and Caron wide open. He didn’t bat an eye when he threw it to Butler.

I guess we're going to live or die by the 3 ball tonight.
Foye is garbage...

oops, I just insulted garbage there.

Let's just feed Caron all night.
HAHA now Foye is passing up open shots for a Caron contested shot

I know he’s hot but cmon

Ralph gettin old there
THE JUICE IS LOOSE
How many mediocre centers are going to go off on DJ?

Yeah, he blocks a couple shots a game, but when players like Darko, Biedrins and Haywood are dropping buckets on him, is it worth it?

Now is he worth it?

Seriously, he is having an off night. Stop bagging on DJ when he doesn’t have some impressive night. He isn’t an elite C, that’s not what we should expect. He still has ways to go, but he is showing steady improvement and he is a great guy in the locker room.

Thank You SurfinQ00. couldnt have said it better myself.
You miss the point entirely

I’m not saying he’s not worth it, I’m saying he’s too overaggressive and an occasional block is not worth the amount of points and offensive rebounds he gives up. He needs to stay at home more so the opposing centers don’t get so many garbage points. And he’s out of position for offensive rebounds.

I like his upside, VDN needs to rein him in a little bit on D.

At least that was a two by Terry and not a three
solid close out Mo
Great hustle DJ!!!
Thats what I am talking about!!
Great play by DJ to keep that ball alive
Fortune Cookie!!

“People who think they know everything are annoying to those of us who do.”

So who's the Willie Nelson in the leopard costume?
Nice work by VDN subbing Mo for Foye.. Foye is struggling in this game.
Let's fuckin GO!!
Somebody go to DJ Please
How is that a foul on DJ?!?!?!
I wanna see DJ box.

His reach alone would help him demolish people.

Did anyone see how DJ got hit?
Elbow to the face.
looked like he was going for an Oscar with that performance but ok.
I don't know. an elbow to the chin is pretty stunning
Have you ever been elbowed in the face by a 7 foot guy who weighs 250 pounds?
NOBODY CAN TOUCH DIRK!

NOT THE PRECIOUS GERMAN!

Sorry for the all caps. I just can’t stand Nowitzki.

I like Dirk.
He just annoys me

I am sure he is a nice guy, but he gets tons of ridiculous calls.

He's one of the stars I like.
thats an odom play
Butler keeping this team in it. Lets get the lead
Tuff Juice comes through!!!
THE JUICE IS LOOSE
Looks like Caron feel by himself and created the contact
I wonder if Mark Cuban has to pay for that soda
i guess Juice doesnt have any post moves..he seals a guy, then turns around and faces up. against a smaller, faster guy at that.
Now thats a fast break!!!
odom sucks hahahahaa
He looks intellectually challenged
Ralph insiuating Lamar is blazed
Steve Nash absolutely deserves the all star bid.
BINGO JUICE!!
What? is my feed that late?
didnt Odom have a triple double in his 1st game in the NBA?
Reggie coming back- Reggie Reggie!
K Mart with the blue light specials!!
WOW.. NICE PASS BY ODOM
My god.

How many dunks will we miss?!?!

Kenyon is exceeding my expectations so far

didn’t know he had that range.

REGGIE EVANS BALLSS

the guy on the right looks so awkward
Damn, i didnt think Juice had that much bounce left..too bad he missed the dunk
Team just plays better for some reason with K Mart and Reggie on the floor together
They probably catch on to the intensity and hustle of those two.
whatever it is glad we have a combination working out there.

bench starting to come together. J.R. Smith would complete this team.

Intimidation factor
Up by two!!! Yes!!
If they pull this off with CP getting plenty rest I will be delighted.
cp3 time
CP3 can come in with about 9 minutes left

He and Mo need to close.

I wouldnt mind leaving Kenyon out there for DJ though.

ya me too, but DJ had a nice run the last few mins he was in
Remember when we couldn't rebound?

Muahahaha

CP3 didnt play last time we faced them either
But we had Billups
K-Mart with 8 points off the bench!
Has Solomon Jones even scored 8 points for his entire career?
Last 5 minutes

Paul
Mo
Caron
Blake
Kenyon

Randy Foye shouldn’t even be allowed on the court to give high fives in time outs.

Seriously wtf is Jason Kidd doing now? Worst fantasy pick ever.
WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT THAT FOYE?

Better question, WHY WOULD YOU PUT HIM IN VDN?

VDN is so stupid, it's painful.
dear randy foye:

STOP SHOOTING!

Randy Foye:

NO!

lol -9 for the game
So I know a high schooler who can shoot quite well from outside.

Anyone have any arguments about trading Foye for him?

what's her name?
HIS name is nobody.

Or Odysseus. You choose.

Randy Foye: 0-for-6,000,000
We don't do any one thing extraordinary

But we are scrappy as hell. I love it

Randy needs to go home and go to bed!
get foye out VDN
lol randy

You little mother f*cker.

SWEET JEEBUS!!!!

Randy Foye sucks so much

We'd have a comfortable lead right now if Foye didn't insist on jacking up ugly shots.
BS Call.

Carter moved

How was that offensive??
that was a shitty call
oh my god that was a fucking terrible call

not even close!!!!!

Why must Randy Foye suck so bad at basketball?
that wasnt that bad of a drive by Foye..just didnt convert.

His shot isn’t falling so he’s trying to find other ways to score

Aaaaaand in come the refs.

Fantastic.

I like Blake's hook shots
Man I love Kenyon so much
paul for foye....thatll do
GTFOH Odom!
LMO is their Foye
thank god randy is coming out
K Mart is a dog out there!!
I'm here guys.

That means only good things will happen from here on in.

we'll see what your +/- is
Can you guarantee that?
I am a little insulted at your question.
Was Vince giving Blake some advice?
I think Blake was saying: can you let go of the ball now?
Blake always has to have the ball for whatever reason
Tech on Delonte West..nice!!
tech on delonte west
gee, he seems so calm and mellow
I'm already +1.
Did you guys hear what VC just said to Blake!!

“Man, I wanna go to the Clippers Big Dawg!”

Lol...yeah right
Vince was smiling while talking to Blake..Blake wasnt.
Who is the idiot that said Dwight Howard got traded to Golden State?
lol :)
I can't believe I checked twitter because of you.
Lol at the fight over the ball. Thats some elementary school shit.
Great shot by CP3

But Dallas’ defense is crazy strong.

Dirk just tripped...seriously a foul
Dallas with nice D
is it too early for CP3 to take over?
never too early
Got a Chris Paul mindstate...

never out of bounds.

no such thing as for cp3

he does what he do from tip to the last second of the 4th

Spacing!! Come on guys!!
He got fouled ref
terrible spacing.

a chronic problem for this team.

terrible screens
that had to have been the worst possesion i have seen
So close for an and 1!
lol at Blake passing over Mo's head to CP3

and CP3 passing it to Mo.

remembering w/ mike said earlier in the game...Clippers near the top in 4th qtr scoring..Dallas, near bottom.
Wow we got lucky there
What are you doing, Kenyon?
It was hard to mad at him with that smile though
It was pretty charismatic.
Blake should've passed that one out.
no one around who was open

but he didn’t have to throw it up there though

Foul?? on a 3-pt attempt
not a Clipper player

no way.

That all started because CP3 made a really shitty choice on offense

I understand he is the best player on this team, but mo was wide open from his favorite spot, and CP3 took a horrible jumper.

He has gotta do better than that.

Wouldn't be a bad choice if he made it.

Let’s be fair. He takes a lot of shots in the 4th quarter; he will have some nights where he makes them and some where he misses. I would still rather have him shoot it than ANYONE else on the court.

K-Mart just officially became a Clip
that was the worst I've seen CP3 shoot..after making a nice move to create space
Hypothetical question: if we win this game, would it be Clippers greatest road trip ever?

Hell, 4-2 might be our greatest trip ever.

Ii heard on the radio that if we go 5-1 it would be the best the team has done on a road trip of this length
is there a speaker near the net when Dirk shoots free throws? those makes sound real crisp
Air high fives... nice dirk
Mo's passes have been deflected all night
Mo? Where was that to?
Come on now.

Stop passing up wide open shots.

Sometimes we are to unselfish
And another for CP

Y not shoot the 3 CP?

Nice Block
twas a work of beauty
Well, this is starting to look like a loss.
He isn't fluid in his motion right now.
Damn back to the old Blake
Damn, that's a killer
Blake makes his FT's when he doesn't pause at the peak of his FT
Blake is bending his knees...straightening up then shooting

shooting all arms

Come on Clips

Start playing like a team.

hahaha wow, Caron

sweet stiff arm

Damn hahahaha

this is comedy of errors

Dirk is just getting all the calls all night long
CMON CARON U IDIOT!!
We have a point guard to bring the ball up court.

Use him!

PLAY LIKE A TEAM
Well, they are finding every way to lose

but the Mavs aren’t closing the door

strong move Blake
Just got home from practice!

tell me the happenings, please!

missed dunks, missed fts

might cost us the game

CP3 is a turnover machine

Blake can’t make a free throw and Kenyon has 3 blocks. Caron is a stud and Foye is the new Gomes.

so basically some things are odd and some things are the norm
They are out of fouls and the wrong Clipper is going to the line
come on BG make some FTS!
C'mon Blake you need to make these!!!
1 fluid motion on your FT Blake

guarantee it will go in

Blake looks really tired.
Please place your wagers:

How many free throws will Blake Griffin make this time?

I’m going to say one.

Make these, BG!
Just wanted to point out.

For all those people saying Clippers are flop city. Look at Dirk. Caron did stick out his arm, but Dirk flew back. Dirk is fishing for fouls and if you notice, Dirk is a winner. Winners look for fouls.

No DJ again?
No complaints for me..

KMART has been awesome.

DJ has been boarderline terrible
ok so box score skimming...

Blke, CP3 with eh games,
Caron is a beast,
Mo is pedestrian,
Foye is garbage,
kenyon has been effective

correct?

We need these ones Blake!!
Damn I thought we had this game for a second there
Damn, i miss Chauncey
Kenyon playing for DJ?
What is Blake doing wrong.
He isn't making free throws
Just terrible
i think he's missed every jumpshot this game too
Mind games

Griffin is just missing these free throws with mind games.

Blake's flicking his ft's..no bueno
caron sved blake's ass

kenyon with bad shot

CP is being too passive
Butler was wide open
neither team can shoot
crap, here we go again
Smart coaching.
Come on Blake

be clutch

hack a Blake

come on Blake!!!

it's in his head
god blake doesn't know what he's doing at the line
Lets hack haywood
you know he'll make them
finally one goes in
great defense mo

just wonderful

way too open

come on!

Terrible defense
mo is the foye of D
Mo got grade schooled....
Mo, that is why you don't start
Going to lose if they don't make a 180

Way too many turnovers, everyone is missing short, and Blake can’t make a FT

mike smith would call it a 360
Down 4 pts. w/ 2 minutes. not a problem! Let's Go Clippers!
Blake looks like he's pouting lol
he is pissed at himself

for those free throws… down 4 is alot worse than up 3

I'd be pouting too if i played basketball my whole life and couldnt make a damn free throw.
I dunno...

Shaq was always a pretty jovial guy.

sad blake

kinda looks like he had a stroke

wow, someone is going to put that screen shot of Blake up soon
This reminds me of the Clippers of old, unable to score in the fourth quarter.
I think this is a Loss.

We are ice cold and CP3 is just… off. We had our chances, we just can’t have Randy Foye missing all of his shots and Blake missing most of his shots (non driving ones that is) whether it be a FT or a mid range shot.

sigh... keep the faith
Blake is terrible tonight.
WOW Blake. I don't get it.
Wow, Blake is just tire
No.

This is all mental.

He ain't cray
Ugh. Game over. 4-2 isnt too bad
Blake losing the game for us

not that we didn’t lose as a team tonight. Even Paul has looked sloppy.

TOTAL slop-ass 4th quarter...

and it started with Randy Foye getting more time to brick to his heart’s content. Great coaching, Vinny.

theres some life
you need to make this one Blake!!
that is great

that cut to the top of the key by martin… that’s a heady basketball ply

we have a chance
We need to play fucken defense!!
see... all you have to do is keep the faith
Just when you think it's over....
Yes!! DEFENSE THE FUCK UP!!
yeah..!! DDDDD
Lord I thought CP got another T for yelling ANd !

Great fast break

AND 1 mofos! call that shieett!
GIVE US AN AND 1 REFS!!!!!!
too much like right smh
i think us being pessimistic helps
Is it just me, or should every starter not named Butler feel somewhat guilty of this loss?

CP3- Didn’t exactly show up like he should have in the 4th.
Foye- Well, he should be ashamed even if they somehow win.
Griffin- Terrible free throw shooting and shooting general
DJ- He just didn’t show up for the whole game.

yep. this
we have 20 turnovers, that takes a team effort, even Butler with 4.
Gotta keep our heads up fellas!

F@@king bullshit, thats was and one

Heard Caron or CP3 yell that too
absolute foul if we do that on the defensive end

K Mart should be shooting a FT.

Close this out fellas!

Our bench went from being terrible to being pretty damn good with Mo, Reggie and Kmart
add JR please
That would technically just move Foye to the bench lol
How was that not a foul?

Not to sound like a Laker fan

is this game going to come down to a last second shot again?
If the shot goes in no call, if the shot didn't go in, then that's 2 free throws.
DJ looks pretty unengaged on the bench.

Not even paying attention to the coach.

Would you want to listen to Vinny's platitudes?

At this point, the team probably has them memorized.

did you guys see Deandre? he didnt look too happy not being in the game.
So...

will Kenyon become a starter eventially?

Nah bench needs him more
But I see a pattern. He's in there for defense so that means bench for DJ
We should have fouled Haywood when he had the ball
fuck these referees. seriously.
fucking ridiculous

this shit has to be on purpose. How do they not call that

These refs really suck
wow thanks refs

f—kers

Oh well.

God damn. Did you see that replay? Kenyon basically got raped.

and yet no whistle blown

bullshit

at least

we hve 2 timeouts

WOW! that was a bullshit no call
Somehow Dallas couldn't close the door.

But the refs sure could.

holy... how did the Clips only score 13 points in the 4th?!
blake shot free throws

randy foye shot

Mark Cuban won't be whining about the refs tonight...

that’s for sure.

we need Mr. Big Shot here
We need JR Smith..
Billups or JR. Just need more O
Am i the only one who remembers that Chauncey almost singlehandedly blew the game for us?
We're a better team than Dallas.

That’s all I know….

That chick behind the Clippers bench has a huge nose.
I was almost certain that the Clips were going to lose.

But now I have somewhat of an excuse :/ ?

Yeah, I pretty much expected a loss anyway.
JR Smith, please.
That should have been a four-point play.
need an act of god to get a ref to blow the whistle in our favor
wow why did they not foul kidd right away??????
more concerned with getting it away from dirk
WOW great shot. but dammit why didn't he do that earlier
double dirk with the inbounder's man
do we still have a chance??
5 sec violation on the inbound pass
The refs are trying to make sure we don't.
steal, 5 sec, a missed ft...
That should have been a 4 pt play refs...especially the way ya'll blowing the whistle today
WOW

Thank alot refs! im mean really! Way to keep Dirk in the game… should have fouled out already… What do you have to say this time Cuban? Did the refs do a good job???

Lets face it, the refs don't like the Clippers. PERIOD.

It’s literally us against the world.

No, it's just total home cooking.
don't let dirk get the ball
WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE A TIMEOUT!!!
we had an open shot

had to take it against the scattered defense

doh, Butler had the shot.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
Why not go for the fucken two???"
he had the open 3, go for the win on the road
I just noticed that on the replay..good play..just didn't go in
You have GOT to be fucking kidding me.
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
ha read my mind

and everyone here

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO FOR THE 2!!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Arg

Well, I think that was our best shot.

I wonder if our guys even knew what the score was.

Let’s face it, most NBA players aren’t very bright.

I'm pretty sure they knew

An open shot is something you don’t pass up. Alas, it didn’t pan out

Except Jeremy Lin.
I gruntee he knew

he wanted the win

It was a great look, can't fault him for it.
dammit

that was so close… I believed that cron would make that

ehhh. i guess 4-2 road trip is good enough
UGGHHHHH..............

THIS GAME IS TOTAL SHIT

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Come someone with terminal cancer just fucking shoot these damn refs. Murder these fucking cunts.

Um..a bit too much?
haha most frusturating game man

can’t believe how many blown calls.

Clipper mark cuban?
I wish

be loaded and could hire someone to do my dirty work ;)

over the top but I know all you are thinking it

screw these refs.

i dont mind the trey by Butler at all..it was open and he had been shooting well tonight
Glad they didnt call a timeout.

I’ll take Chris Paul in transition against a scrambling D every damn time over our derp coach tring to draw up a play against a good set defense.

yeah, we would've had to inbound the ball which isn't our strongest point.
He'd probably have Gomes inbound
ugh. -shivers-
haha yes that's not do that again please.
so many damn chances
Sure we ended up with the L.

But there is NO DOUBT in my mind that we are the better team.

blakes fts cost us in the end
it says a lot

that the Clips played a horrible game on the whole and still had a shot to win at the end.

Too bad

Clips don’t go down easy, though

We needed Billups for that last shot!
though loss

still we had our chances against the Mavs away from home, that’s something

Well we had a shot at it

Just gotta make em when they count! Damn, still a good road trip none the less. The team looks far better with kenyon as part of the rotation. If we make some dunks, blake hits some FTs this game doesnt need to be so close.

I know Bulter had a great look but

I wonder if we shouldn’t have taken that timeout…

we wouldn't have gotten a better shot...
I guarantee you we don't get that good of a look. Remember who our coach is?
the only chance

was that we got it in and let cp3 do something

Which isn't a bad thing.
They put 2 on CP3 at the end there.

I know he’s good but he wouldnt have gotten off a make-able shot, even for him.

And those 2 were a 6'8 and 7ftr

He couldn’t see

like the the no timeout

and Butler has a good look that would of put us up by 1 with Dallas having no TO.

well ok.

so at the end it’s really Blake’s FT shooting that is to blame. And so many frustrating turnovers

Yeah and Blake knows it.

He’ makes half of those FT’s and it’s a different game.

1 inch and Butler's shot is a game winner. thats the way it goes
yup happens

even battling the refs and we almost win it.

ah well

good game. can’t win them all. on to the next one.

yup just waking up tomorrow always a bummer after a lose like this

thank heaven we move from game to game quickly

Damn missed fts could have made the difference!
Yep, as other things
Good game.

we had our shot

Clips shot themselves in the foot!! This game was very winnable
Damn.... we should've won this game

I blame this loss on Randy Foye….. And it would’ve been nice if Blake made more FT’s

Wizards on Wednesday. maybe CP3 could rest his knees during that game.

Save him for Portland

Mo can go off on them. Plus, they're brain dead
Alot of blame to go around but Blake's freethrows will be the main thing focused on.

had he made a few more….. oh well

4-2 not bad at all. And I like the defense Kenyon played. Can’t win em all

Terrible officiating, terrible play from Foye especially.
It's definitely nice to see a 4-2 road trip.
but one of those losses shouldn't be
NBA Refs blow so much..
yuuuuuuuuuuuup

Kmart gets hacked twice. Nothing. BS.

that's why I'm fuming!

unacceptable from “professional” refs.

Meh... Blake missed FTs, I'd rather blame him for this loss
Meh...down 3, guy gets his arm ripped off and no call

Instead of down 1 it’s down 5.

And im pretty sure that would have been his 6th foul!

which means he wouldnt have hit that shot next time…. 2 instances where he should have fouled out!

this. Dirk should've been gone
wow didn't realize that!

That’s huge. No wonder this didn’t call the foul ;)

yeah but...

one thing to have Blake miss his FT’s. Another to have 3 refs miss blatant fouls calls consistently at crucial points at the end of the game.

Good energy from -kmart tonight
Im absolutely pissed right now!!

Foye played horrible! Blake should have made his free throws and these god damn refs should be checked because they have been fuckin up sooo much this season! i mean wtf!!! their calls are fucking games up!! im so mad right now this is a game we should have won

how the hell did the refs miss that foul?

because they are morons and want to give the benefit of the doubt to the champions

"missed" is more like it

3 “professionals” can’t see that was a foul.

They're 3 blind mice
no balance with Martin and Griffin use regular rotation
So how good is VDN?

If he has any value at all…

Clips couldn't figure out how to attack the Mavs' double team of CP

it’s the coaching staff’s fault

pretty much

when I was 13, and playing my last season with the 14u’s in travel before getting moved to the 17u’s, teams would do this to me. Trap, double, help… I was good, but I also kind of ball hogged unless a good pass was available.

Anyways, once, a team did this exact thing to me, trapping me bout 5 feet beyond the three. One timeout, and my coach drew up a play with one of our bigs flashing to the free throw line. 3 scores in a row, and then the other team was forced to come out of the trap.

I seriously hope JR Smith watched this game...

We are one piece away from being title contenders I can feel it!
.

sigh... chauncy would have made that 3
or

at least he would’ve played better than Foye

I am just wondering one thing more than if there should have been a timeout.

WHAT WAS JASON KIDD THINKING? Eyes on the back of his head my butt!

If we had a good coach, however....

we would have killed Dallas tonight

Refs 1, Clippers 0

Those two KMart/Dirk no-calls were obscene. What, Dirk gets to just tear off the arm of anyone who drives the lane because he’s Dirk? Time to re-form Club FTR!

Clean out the whole coaching staff!!
Just checked out the Moneyball game thread.

Thank you Clipper beast for always having appropriate GIFs. And thanks everyone else for having appropriate pictures. If you were to go over there, you would think that it was a pornsite.

Actually it is just two people.

Thank you for not being those two people.

I think they're just bored out of their minds
No problem..

Always gotta keep the gifs in check

So if we lose a game.

Do the GIFS nearly stack? Like if you were planning 20 today and 20 for wizards. Will we be seeing… 40 for the Wizards win? :)))

Its a secret

I cant let you all know my gif plans!

yup

Steve is a pretty stern disciplinarian.

Man... Im watching the Warriors-Suns game right now..

It is totally unwatchable!!

*wait... its totally unwatchable and yet Im watching it....

SMH…… FUCK YOU REFS!!!

Easy, dude. live to win another day
you're right

Getting a bit too carried away.

no I agree fuck um
no, no

this was an extremely frustrating lose. Nothing worse than losing close games because of the refs that you really felt you could have won

Still. One game at a time. Focus on the Wizards next
Just a matter of time

Before missed Ft’s were going to cost us a game, especially when missed when the games up for grabs.

BG’s FT’s shooting HAS to get better by a long way

didn't have that nice motion tonight
you know what

i was noticing that tonight… it wasnt fluid like it had been in the other games.

That and maybe some fatigue. Still, a winnable game that slipped away
ey we are cursing a game that we wouldn't even be close to winning last season

we will get there + almost every play-off candidate in the west has been hurting these last few days.

true. Still hurts seeing games they had every right to win slip away
Dallas is a crafty veteran team

you need to kill 5 times over before they back off.

exactly this!

Someone had to have told him that during a timeout, no?

Was clear as day his motion was terrible.

My hope is

That these guys say something about the refering in this game… take a fine if you have to but this just cant keep on going i mean these refs are just plan retarded

Then every team would complain. They know how it works sometimes (the refs) in their favor and sometimes they (the refs) won't
If the Raptors don't get fined for their loss to the Lakers.

Clippers shouldn’t take the fine for this game. Realistically, CP3 is the only one who should take the fine without worrying about $$$, but he shouldn’t tarnish his great reputation (even a little bit) for one loss.

I think most of them could handle the fine...

Caron Butler: 24 mil from LAC + previous earnings
DJ: 40 mil from LAC
BG: 20 mil + max extension coming

True.

But I suppose I didn’t even state what my main point was. CP3, Martin, and VDN are the only ones who I think should say anything. Caron should just keep quiet because he played a solid game and put in a solid effort. BG and DJ have no room to really say much, especially with their lackluster performances in some aspects. DJ has been out of it and Blake missed HUGE FT’s for what was most likely a mental collapse. Martin could say something, but I don’t think he would enjoy being fined on his MLE contract. VDN could say something, but I’m sure he wouldn’t. That leaves CP3 to say something (mostly because he is our leader), but I would rather we just walk away from a tough loss without anyone losing respect around the league.

I call bullshit on this game

bullshit bullshit bullshit

Don't do that over at Mavs moneyball.

“KMART got chippy with Dirk tonight.” Le sigh

fuck Dirk!

someone shoulda laid his bitch ass out for all those homer calls they got

games get chippy all the time lol

No idea what that guy is trying to prove.

that's it!

I’m calling shananigans!

NBA officiating has just been awful lately.

I have been fine with refs as long as they follow 2 conditions:
1) Throughout most of the game, they keep it fair. If they make one blatantly stupid call, they should make up for it with another call on the other side. The game will always have some bad calls, but they have to make sure they keep things fair, even if it means making 1 bad call into 2.
2) They can’t change the outcome of the game with less than 2 minutes to go. When a key star player just made an obvious foul which should have taken him out of the game and the difference would have been 2 vital points (some can argue it would have been 4) then you have to make the call. This goes for the Laker game yesterday. You don’t call a 5 second rule if it means changing the game completely.

don't forget that goaltending call
thank you!

This is why I’m (and all of us) are so angry. Just keep it even. Especially during crucial points. Those were easy calls to make.

Didn't see game but judging from the box score

They lost because of turnovers and poor free throw shooting. Clips win rebounding easily. All other stats pretty close. DJ didn’t play his usual minutes, more Kmart?

lucky you missed it

refs blew it for us. Blake missing FT’s and a ton of turnovers absolutely hurt but refs blowing some late crucial calls killed any chance we had (other than Butler missing a game winning 3).

How can you say

One shot that missed by a Bee’s dick, cost us the game , too many other factors before that had us in that position, needing a quick three to win it.

Is Kmart gonna get the 4th qtr minutes DJ normally gets down the stretch?
with DJ playing like he has all week.

Most likely. And we should be OK with that either way. K Mart can gives us another big who can score.

VDN may have decided to sit DJ rather than have two

sub par free throw shooters in at once? Scratching my head..

I think it's that and his man defense. DJ is taller and slower than KMart

who can guard guys like Dirk as well as guards. Alot of those misses by Mavs at the end of game were a result to Kenyon’s defense.

Matchups

Kenyon makes more sense on Dirk. DJ makes more sense on Bynum.

Several things...

What the hell happened to DJ? He’s regressed so much it aint even funny. Randy Foye is not a competent SG. JR Smith now please. It’s great that CP comes alive at the end of games, but he needs to be more aggressive early. Blake still sucks at free throws. Hack-a-Blake?! Shameful…Right now I am not happy with a 4-2 road trip. Not like this. Clips should have been 5-1 easy.

With luck could easily have been

6- 0, no one would have expected Cavs to roll us (again), but still got out of jail in another game so 5-1 would have been the best result but 4-2 not too bad.

FFS do some FT training before Wednesday

I'm happy with a 4-2 road trip...

….but 5-1 was so close I can almost taste it!

Is this True or what??

Sorry for my offtopic posts..

Just trying to cheer the citizens up after a tough loss.

haha that game is a pain in the ass
That's not a game

It was made up by nerds to feel better about there lack of call of duty skills

Some knucklehead over at money ball was all excited...

…that the Mavs moved the Clips down a notch in the playoff standings….as if there wasn’t most of the regular season left!

yeah saw that

bunch of tools over there.

hey...

I check the standings unpdates every morning. I know that this game doesn’t matter so I’m not gonna kill myself if we drop rom 2nd to 3rd or whatever, but I like to look at the big picture… I like our current pace.

Other than Washington on Wednesday

This is a tough stretch of games coming up. POR on the road and the Spurs on Saturday. Gotta beat the Wiz and win one of the other 2 to keep up the team’s pace.

When do CLips not have a tough week.

It’s so tight in the west that a 3 game losing streak can drop you to the bottom. They have to take the portland game. The way SA has been playing I just don’t expect them to win that one. Although I hope.

fortunately

we are fr enough head of LAL in the division that we have a little cushion before we would fall from 4th

You guys gear mayweathers rip on lin

I think lin is more over hyped then anybody but that guy is straight ignorant.

At least Bledsoe wore clothes again!
Yea waist of mony dressin this guy

Still waiting for someone to put the glass slipper on that glass leg of his

Remember...

Woosah

Now I do

And may it take another 5 years to forget that. Woosah

Trade cp and griffin for lin

Blow this team up we lost to the Mavs in Dallas for Christ sake. 0_0( sarcastic face)

something to make you lot feel better
The New Orleans Hornets say Eric Gordon will have arthroscopic surgery on his injured right knee on Tuesday and be out at least an additional six weeks.
imagine our season without the Paul trade and Gordon out almost the whole season...
And this summers blockbuster is

Eric Gordon in superman. Man of glass

Yeah just saw that

damn shame. Gordon is one hell of a player.

Eric Gordon

the greatest Hornet to never play for them.

There was 666 coments had to change that
Interesting Gordon point

If still here would be a wreck of a season thus far. What does this injury do for his FA status coming up.

Starting to get impatient to get Bledsloe on the court, still waiting to see if he is the real deal.
