first!!
damn, I thought i was going to get it
Last?

So everyone has to comment under first now? :)

The weather looks dreary in LA
it's been nice and overcast where I live (bout an hour north)

but it really got warm today

Shake off the chokejob...

and play some Clipper basketball.

I built a dream team in NBA 2k12

Online franchise mode… I got Dwight Howard, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Kevin Martin!!

that's not even that great lol
Are you serious?

Best frontcourt in the league!! And Kevin can score 30 any time he wants to. Not to mention all the great role players I got too.

yeah I'm serious
Blake Griffin--"Ayyy!!!"

Me—“What?”

Chris Paul has to start doing something
that's not for a whole nother quarter
It's time to put R.Gomes in and ride his hot hand to victory.

Duh.

Hi fellow Clippets... :-)
why are you always late?

too cool for the 1st half?

I know... Making me lunch
cliplet yourself
Making fun of our Sniper? :-)
I wonder if Crawford working as a ref has any effect on why Blake isn't gettting any calls
Danny Green

ut by 5th place in west, piked up to start for 2nd place

why the hell the spurs do always kill us
they always kill everyone

its Pop

We can't beat smart teams.

That takes coaching, which we don’t have.

You gotta be kidding me refs..
the Randy Foye long 2
Not getting a good feeling
I really wanted Green after the Lakers cut him
Who said in the first half that the Spurs were the only team they wanted to see in the playoffs?

We would get owned by the Spurs, because they actually have a coach, and also because for whatever reason, the Clippers organization just pisses themselves whenever it’s time to play the Spurs.

really?

I feel like the Spurs are the one team I DON’T want to see in the playoffs. Any WC team, I would avoid them.

I got an idea...

Call a timeout.

so sadden by the play of Paul
don't worry

CP3 is waiting for us to be down by 18, it would be to easy to win it now

Complete meltdown
Should we Parker Eva is divorcing him? Hey, it worked last time... :-)
I'm not sure what you're asking lol
Got me... "tell Parker..."
what's up with CP?

Dude sucks today

He'll drop 20 points on the Spurs in the 4th quarter
if we keep playing like this, he'll have to drop 40
True and will give you +1
after all that

POP takes a timeout… smh

Doesn't wanna give up a 13 point lead, like we did.
can anyone suggest a good stream for me

this game sounds depressing

http://www.freesportworld.com/basket/m3l1.html
Without Foye this would be worse

wake up CP

This is an odd lineup

Really relying on Foye here. Not a very sound move even though he is hot.

Bledsoe may be a good counter
This is bad for CP3

parker should have no chance to guard him

CP3 must be hurt.

Can’t figure out his game.

he just can't shoot recently
he's just not making the shots he usually makes
Leave Bledsoe in for defense.
What happened to Mo
Greetings! I see we aren't WINNING
Blake is moving his feet well
foye!! bingo lets go!
Foye finally having a breakout game
winnable game, cmon clips
Foye!

I predicted 18 for Foye.

I think I may have short-changed him.

finally

not a long two pointer

Foye... Being good? Oh wait, its 2012
he is 6-11 for 15 points

and he says “they see me scorin’, they hatin’”

get a couple stops clips please
We're still in this, vaguely.
Bledsoe going Lin Mode
I would love for Bledsoe to really break out

makes Mo tradeable

Mo is our bench O, he's very valuable
that's why is isn't tradeable

unless Bledsoe really breaks out

Mo is still needed I see Bled and mo working well
seems like everything is going smoother with Bledsoe at the point
Bring it to single digits
Bledsoe's energy was needed.

Best move of the game by VDN.

Best move of his Clipper coaching career
so whats been wrong with cp3?
Bledsoe is playing very well
Spurs should've been buried in the first half.

F-ing team just don’t care about defense.

We also lack a dependable offensive system...

to keep us in the game when the other team makes a run.

At least Vinny is good at rotations

ha

Bledsoe is providing energy
Foye!
UH FOYE IS OUR BEST PLAYER
IN CLIPPER HISTORY
hang up his jersey in the rafters now!
foye!!!!

boomshakalaka

Bledose

nice hair

Foye raining buckets
Foye!

I hope he can keep this play up. We’re gonna need it from him

Foye >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MJ
Someone tell Clipper Darrell to start a Randy chant
Bledsoe has the minifro
lol.

Foye’s best moment was in the summer league. thanks mike smith

Foye always has been better as a starter since he has been here.
Pop needs a timeout
Hahah Choker Green
FOYE!! LOB CITY TO DJ!!!
no seriously who is this player and what has he done to randy foye
keep in Bled and Foye
Bled almost with the trademark turnover
Bledsoe nice rebound
why this guy blake griffin didn't pass the ball to foye???!!!
GO FOYE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bingo foye!!!!!!!!!!
Foye going for 30?

the anti-kaman

now im really scared
slam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG RANDY. HIT EM WITH THE RKO
between the legs pass

thats on SportsCenter tonigh

whoa what an arrogant three
BIIIIINGGGOOOO
Oh my Glob

Blake!

for once in my life im ok with a foye airball
get ready for rand basketball
questionable shot by Foye
But im ok with it!!!
heat check by foye
Give Bled some more time now
lol chris paul is about to school neal
2 worse collpses in the history of sports in 1 game

haha 82-0

Why is CP3 in??

he sucks!!

who is this Paul guy anyway?
Chris Paul sucks.

Worst trade ever.

trade him

for Linsanity

knick fans wouldnt trade lin for anyone right now

true basketball fans

nice

we got a point from Neal’s ft :D

Foye shoot that!!!
What should Vinny do?

You have to play Chris Paul
Bledsoe is playing well
Foye is playing GREAT
Mo is your normal closing SG

not a bad problem to have
You cant play Bledsoe

Worthless on offense, along with DJ.

Stick with the hot hand

he should have stuck with what got us back in this game

run the hot hand, clearly that is Foye

CP3 will come alive in the 4th, he can’t stay at -20, that’s not who he is.

knock on wood.

But Foye is super streaky. Will he still have it in the 4th?

AHHH,, Frustrating!
really? KMART 3?
I hate these long 2 pointers by kmart
he thinks he can hit jump shots, hes had that problem for a while
though he had no choice in that instance
Josh Smith syndrome

He’s pretty good at the corners though, I’ll give him that. Just not effective straight away.

man cp3 didnt run that end of the quarter play well
I wonder whats in that water bottle Foyes drinking??

Must be Michael’s Secret Stuff

tuff juice's juice.
Go back the the starters plus bledsoe that unit had speed
I wouldnt even keep in Bledsoe

His defense was all right, but the run had to do with SA missing shots and Foye going off. Bledsoe only had a couple rebounds and that one pass.

Shut down Parker
yeah put martin behind 3 point line, that'll work!
Game is winnable
thought it was winnable even when we were down double figs

they can definitely win this

Let's get this W!

At the game today :)

Bledsoe has a +14

and CP3 has a -20

JR WHO??

LOVE YOU RANDY

IT'S RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDY
Is it weird

that I’m watching the game naked?

Or where you are

Weird if you are at Staples…

Get dressed and get in the game
spurs would never leave at 3 pt. shooter that open like what we did.
Time to get Bled back in for D
dandre has so much to learn on defense.
wow spurs dont even have to try
vdn needs to learn how to ride the hot hand

Bled and Randy tied it up for us. Why take them out when they’re playing so well??

He didn't see the 3rd

He was in the bathroom

shoulda never had those pregame nachos
I think Bledsoe will work his way into the rotation.

His speed is amazing and he plays D.

Mo better get nervous.

When is the trade deadling?

man. cmon mo
Mo Williams is a 'tard.
new terminology please
No D, no win.

What really pisses me off is that the Lakers won last night and our lead in the division will be down to 1 game if this team doesn’t pull their heads out.

Can't let this get to double digits again.
How are these old geezers from the rec center beating us?
game will again be in paul's hands sooner than later
Games against the Spurs...

really illustrate how horrible a coach VDN really is.

games

really illustrate how horrible a coach vdn really is

get bled and Foye back in!!!
That whole lineup needs to be back in!!
I just got all my money in with AK on an AAQ board.

Guess what the other guy had? :(

That comeback was so fun to watch

The only thing that might be better than that was the 4 straight 3 pointers in 50 seconds against OKC

i wont remember it much if they lose this game
well, i'd be happier if they won the game
Won't mean anything without a win.
gary neal is playing like he thinks hes a superstar
barf
wait I didn't see Cookie''s face
great work blake keeping that alive
tuff juice camera staredown...epic!
I wish we could trade Paul and Blake for Gary Neal.
stupid salaries not matching...
Throw in VDN and Cookie.
Take out Mo.

Put Bledsoe back in.

Lil Mo is so streaky
Lil Wayne has a nicer shot.
i would like to see Bled on Parker again
We want Foye!

We want Foye!

The Monstars stole Chris Paul's skills
wheres bugs bunny when u need him???
Why did they stop the play?

The referees are cheating.

they have a bet on the game
Let's not be ridiculous here.
wait, why is that not allowed
wow refs are cheating
Clear path?
he was in front i believe
Wow, refs...
man cmon blake

easy shot

Poked BG in the eye.

Tackle that litte frenchman.

game is again cp3's to win
I have a love/hate relationship with CP3
u should reevaluate this

hes had some frustrating shooting games but hes the best thing to ever happen to this franchise in la next to drafting blake

CP33333333333333
CP3 got his skills back

Thanks Michael Jordan

I'm pretty sure these referees have Tim Donaghy on speed dial.
Sadly, still better officiated than the portland game...
Is that you, Tommy Heinsohn?
Did he say that?
No...

but he is the biggest complainer about officiating in the NBA, so he probably thinks that.

Let me give you a Tommy point.
"TAWWMY POINT TO VEGAS FAH FIXING THIS GAME!!!

FACK IT, WE AH A HAWKEY TAHWN ANYWAY!"

LOL
Tommy, on Amar'e:

“HE WAUUUWKED! REF, HE WAAAAAUUUUUWKED!”

40 points from CP3 coming
got to give him hard foul
Dammit my feed was messing up..

Now its good now

try this

http://yycast.com/livesportsfre1

My internet is very slow, but with this, at least i can watch the game

TUFF JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bingo and 1!!!!!!!!! juice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tough juice 3 and 1 boom shakalaka
BINGOOOOOO!!!!!!

+1

TUFF JUICE!!!!!!
YAAH!

!!!!!!

OMG 4 point play for Butler
woo hoo

The Butler serves up the 3!!!

THE JUICE IS LOOSE!!!!
Another bad call.
Where's the foul?????????
what the hell

im so angry

Griffin should not be guarding Duncan
oh come on that was clean. damn refs
Craziest game so far this yr
Joey Crawfor is fucking blind.
Blake has 4 fouls

lucky that wasn’t on him

ball dont lie
jinx

buy me a soda!

I wonder whose wife Tony Parker is sleeping with now.
man rhythm three foye, just off
Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
you have o know that Duncan will make that
Fuuuuuuuuuck.
this is my first extended live clipper action since moving to europe

so a loss here will be even more depressing

crap, i get really nervous everytime the Clippers have the ball after a timeout is called.

VDN drawing up plays is not ideal.

Outsource it.
Get a graphic artist from India to draw something up.
refs awful calls

the lockout has cause some of the worst officiating in a long time!…refs are as tired/worn as players…refs don’t travel charter…

RANDY ORTON I mean Foye!
the spurs are impeccably run.
this is so shitty

what a big let down if we lose

I want a Pop-like coach

who will be a staple of this orginization and actually be good.

huge possession
We can't afford to waste another year of CP3 and BG on VDN's "coaching".
I seriously hope he's out after this year

even if we go the finals

Even if we WIN the Finals.

We could have a dual “NBA Champions/Vinny Got Fired” parade.

If we make it to the finals

he’ll get an extension.

I hope not

This team is winning because of talent. How many set plays have actually worked?

Even they should realize that
we can take them

have to score here

CP3

now defense

That's why he is Chris Paul
SEATBELTS ON GAMETHREADDERS!!!!
miss it miss it!!!
BRICK TONY!!! PLZ!!

dang ClipperBeast

beat me to the punch.

lol im going crazy

lol

I get to recap this game

so let’s win yeah?

what's up with the bad calls again?
THIS GAME IS RIGGED
why do the refs hate the clips here

seriously these are some exceptionally bad calls

wow mike assuming the clips will score

The NBA is really desperate to hand the division lead to the Lakers, aren't they?
somebody do that to blake and they would never call it.
They obviously make calls on assumption and not with their eyes cause theres no way he would have seen that so why even call it
can't finish them
This is SUCH garbage.
cook garbage

or just gomes garbage?

cmon!

mo and foye…it’s your time!

no

CP3 all the way

yea...

i thought pop would send a double and he’d find mo or foye for 3!

Clips go 2 for 1 here, right??
pop sent

3-team vs blake!!

crazy!!!

Who do you guys think will take the shot??

I think its Foye..

CP3

Give it to the Captain.

Nice.

Now they can’t use all the clock.

Make up call? I'll take it
Refs really really really took the over lol
told ya they're clutch
192.
they still have 9 points to go?

this is gonna be a long game!

they fouled!!!

yes!!!

LETS GET THIS STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEFENSE PLEASE!!!
mike smith coaching haha
lol who else saw Ryan Gomes yeling at the staff guy
Dick Bavetta should referee every game.
mike smith's color commentary swag is off the charts
#colorcommentaryswag
Guarenteed another posession

if they score

Should we take BG out for this last defensive sequence.
YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duncan missed a layup!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?
Holy crap!

The Mayans were right!

we need both of these
lol

B.Griffin doesn’t want to shoot the FTs

what's up with that guy blocking the fsn shot!
FOUL THEM DONT RISK IT!!
blake wisely hands it off

great def sequence!

Jeez I was afraid Mike was going to jinx that FT
Got to give credit to Vinny for playing Bledsoe on Parker
My heart is pounding right now!

im sooo tired of losing to the spurs

Hahaha!!!!

Blake “Here CP3. I don’t want the ball for free throws!” Griffin!!!

Move over Kobe

CP3 is the best closer in LA

CP3 + LBJ = 4 quarters of greatness
lol. That might be true
Actually, LBJ's 4th quarter PER is top 5 in the league this season.

(CP3’s is #1.)

YAY!!!! VINNY CALLED A TIMEOUT!!!
FUCK GARY NEAL

FUCK YOUR FAMILY

guy has been arrogant all game like he was the best player on the court

What did he do to you?
dafuq just happened lol

we just won the game!

A turnover from them

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So..Gomes is taking his shirt off, he's in?
FOYESANITY!!!!
2nd

Watch out Thunder! How’s Wussell Restbrook’s ankles.

Gomes inbound again...
OMG GOMES IS PASSING IN
nooooooo

what the fuck what the fuck??? nooo

GOOOOOOOOOMES!!!
I have officially seen everything in the game of basketball.

I do not believe what I just saw.

GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES
FGJKDSHGKJSLHGKJLHGKJLSDHGKJLSGHSKJLDGHSKJDGHSKLJGHSJGKLHSGJKHSGKJSD
I see that you're banging your head on the keyboard...
You suck

Gomes

WHY THE FUCK IS GOMES INBOUNDING?
Gomes does it again.

How hard is it to inbound the ball. He did it in Philly and he does it again. Gomes sucks

wtf.

Why is ryan gomes in the game. All they had to do was inbound the ball.

I knew we would choke away the lead as soon as Gomes came in.

HE IS GARBAGE.

Why is this guy still on the team?????????????????????????????
calling a timeout was the dumbest decision EVER
That was to secure possession at a time of doubt,

I don’t blame them for that

i can't see the game, i was just assuming. my fail.
No

Bringing in effing gomes was.

This game is giving me heart palpitations
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF

GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES GOMES
I am speechless

No I’m not….fuck Ryan Gomes…..

omg

are you fuckin serious gomes a wide open paul and you pass it that far away from him are you serious???

Why was Gomes in?

Why? Why? It’s Daniel Ewing all over again

seriously VDN ??? gomes????

you f’d idiot!

I have a HORRIBLE feeling about overtime now.

UGGGGH!!!!

FUCK GOMES WHY THE FUCK IS HE IN
holy crap i did not expect that
WTF Gomes

Damn it Vinny did you not remember the game in Philly?

Didn't Gomes almost cost us the Philly game?
.why was gomes in

i dont understand.

as soon as I saw ryan gombs taken the ball out I started screaming I knew it!
PLEASE CUT THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOMES AND EAT HIS CONTRACT!
what... the... F....

just happened?

Gomes

Gomes Happened

second time Vinny has made that mistake....

Gomes must have pictures of him with a goat or something

Someone please answer me a question.

Would that have been a backcourt violation if Chris Paul let that ball bounce and then picked it up?

He shouldn’t have touched it

yeah, we're still the clippers
Vinny Del Negro is a complete DUMBASS.

After the Philly game, there is zero reason for Gomes to be in the game in that situation.

It's more Vinny's fault

No reason Gomes should even be in the game. Blake could’ve inbounded the ball.

Paul should have taken the violation

Dammit

u dont put this guy in this spot.
No, but if you're in that spot

let them inbounds and play d

blake on tip-off? where's DJ??
worst last second play of all time not involving chris webber
i dont understand.

we’re going to lose this game now.

DAMNIT GOMES I HATE YOU
I dont care if im considered a troll

Im cursing Gomes out via twitter

Good job kmart get mad that we didnt get the rebound!
Gomes??????????

2nd time this year he makes a horrible inbound pass decision when the game was bascally over (philly was first time i think)

why the hell isnt griffin inbounding it? he isnt gonna get anywhere near the ball there and is their best big body passer… oh ye right, cus VDN sucks

that's got to be cp3's call also!
fault
VDN DIDN'T LEARN THE FIRST TIME GOMES SUCKED AT INBOUNDS?

i was JUST about to post something about how the days of assuming we would mess it up in the 4th are over…

Seriously...

Gomes should have been cut after the Philly game.

definitely a charge
Gomes basically just lost the game...

I have no illusions that we’re actually going to win in OT. Not with these refs.

That was pretty deflating.
That's..too negative.
got to fix this
wasn't the one positive about gomes

supposed to be his high bball iq?

Hahahahahahahaha...

Gomes and high basketball IQ in the same sentence? Stop.

Vinny wants to gift wrap a game for thecoach he played for
CP3 has 21 points

statistics say we win

mike smith agrees with you
paul has been giving me an uneasy feeling about his health

im still totally deflated here. id be surprised if we won this game. dont know why.

WTF!!! DUNCAN WAS ON THE BACK OF KMART!!!
If it werent for Gomes I would be going crazy with the gifs right now..
i hate stupid refs giving calls to veteran players
Kenyon Martin is one crazy badass.
Last play of regualation should be in Tosh.0

It’s hilarious!!!

Ryan Gomes should be in the unemployment line.
i swear to god...if gomes is the inbound passer one more time...
Fool me once...shame on you

Fool me twice…

fool me thrice...
playoffs

the only good thing about this is that this incound play was less subtle and Gomes and VDN are going to get a lot more heat for it then the first time…

So not even VDN should be stupid enough to repeat this mistake in the playoffs

is over the back legal now?
it is if you're a perennial all-star
Tim Duncan gets all the calls.
Bring back thig guy >>>>> Gomes

nobody can ever say tho that Gomes is not a game changer tho … oh, wait…

bring back singleton

the cba is wrappin up anyway

No one wanted to shoot it
lol foye not shooting
not much more deflating than a shot clock violation
are you shitting me
Sigh.

That’s not even coaching. That’s just silly on court awareness

timmy is old... he can't hit anything
except for blake obviously
COME ON. THE LAW IS AT STAKE
Wow, game.

19-10, Lakers one game back in the division. I think I’m going to puke.

Blocked by the backboard
Blake got blocked by the backboard
we have not made one basket in OT apparently
Cmon Bg you can do this!!
thanks Gomes

Can’t David Stern just suspend Gomes for the rest of the season

Why didn't he demand him in the Paul trade and really helped us out?
They might as well have awarded the win to the Spurs as soon as Gomes checked in.
fuck these spurs fans at staples
Hack a Blake time.
Don't say that.

T_T

all the unemployment problems in the world...

and Ryan Gomes has a job….the world is wrong sometimes

BLAKE 20/20

All we need now is this win

blake looks tired
i will be legitimately angry if gomes isnt cut after this game.
At $4 million/yr

It won’t happen

So instead, we're going to let him keep losing games single-handedly?

Great. Time to WICKED ratchet back expectations.

one more stop
bring any of those guys in from the last fri workout they're all better than gomes.
Brian Cook > Gomes
Mike Smith said the game is unreal.

It really is. Should’ve been over by now

Fucking Gary Neal

________

rotate dammit
Perimeter defense is the death of us
...... i hate Ryan Gomes
how do you leave that guy open right now?
to much fuckin ball watching
Foye ruins a great game lol
Game.

God FUCKING dammit, I’m so pissed off right now. FUCK RYAN GOMES.

it's over

VDN couldn’t have a scheme that gives us a pointer to save his life

yay

GAAAAAADDDDDDD. I wanna cry. fucking gomes.

Gary freaking Neal
Worse lost of the season
Fire VDN, CUT FUCKING GOMES.
god damnit Gomes...

…when you become useless at the one thing you were supposed to do well, you should not have a job.

This is one of the grossest losses I've ever seen.
Wow.

From 18 down at Portland. To this game. heart attack waiting to happen

Fuck I want to cry
how do I write about this game...
if Gomes could only have been given a DNP, it would be easy
fuck gomes. that's all that needs to be said
that isn't quite 1,000 words...
start with how great of a game it was

until our coach and gomes cost us the game.

I'm just speechless.
Imma need a whole lot of alcohool to have a good night after that............................
i cant remember the last time i had this much anger towards a single clipper player
Why is Ryan Gomes the designated inbounder?

Is it like a designated driver assignment or something? I don’t get it.

Ive always liked gomes but after today i say fuck him fuck his wife fuck his family i hope they all burn in hell
eh.... bit too much
a little too dark...
im never like this but im just tired of losing to the spurs and this dumb mother fucker cant pass to a wide open cp3 but thats how i feel right now
its over
funny

Jason Kidd turned over an inbounds pass against us…

Clips really clutched defeat from the jaws of victory in this one
Well, Foye was gonna get the game ball.. Now Gomes just needs to get his head cut off
I'm so pissed off, I'm shaking.

GODDAMMIT.

and that's game

thanks a lot gomes

Get ready for the Lakers to overtake us in the division, too.

I think I’m going to puke.

Very, Very Ugly.

The sick to the stomach kind of game.

Wow.

I could have mowed the fucking lawn.

lolz

my stream just turned off

can't blame the guy

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/108233/1/watch-los-angeles-clippers-vs-san-antonio-spurs.html

if you really wanna see the last few seconds

I think he threw his comp out the window
Ryan Gomes Twitter Page

Have at it

does vinny have a page?

All because of fucking Vinny.

and gomes

I blame Vinny more. Before he was put back into the game to throw that inbounds pass, Ryan Gomes was last on the court with 4:24 to go .. in the second quarter.

I know

Remember when MDsr used to bring in a player that has not played a single minute in the last seconds of the game….

What is Ryan Gomes wifes twitter address?
Bad foul call against Blake at the end of regulation...

Horrible inbounds by Gomes, an WHY DO YOU NOT USE THE SIZE AVANTAGE AGAINST THE SPURS AND PLAY DJ IN OVERTIME!!!!?

Sorry... advantage...
How the fuck are we within 3?
Just give it a couple FTs.

It’ll look more correct

only clipper game im going to be able to watch in ages

and all ill remember is ryan gomes.

wtf why go for the 2 ?

fail

They did look 3, but didn't have an open option
I really do think you have to cut Gomes.

Seriously.

They won’t fire the coach.

Something has to happen.

Paul won’t resign if he has to play with idiots.

He won't get cut

he could get amnestied this summer but no reason to cut him… just stop playing him

miss another one...

miss another one…

Haha I love how Caron gave him a little pat before he shot
OMG

What the hell is going on

Let's have Gomes inbound this one!
...says Spurs fans everywhere.
ryan gomes better be on the bench
Gomes = new Daniel Ewing
at least ewing was a clueless kid
Ok

Now who will take the 3? Gotta be Paul i am thinking

Wow we still have a shot at this game
its over, the end is nigh
STEAL THIS WIN BACK!
If I see Ryan Gomes give the inbound,

I will quit watching Clipper games for the rest of the season.

ball fuckin dont lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People are lighting up Gomes' Twitter.. LOL
as they should
I can't see it

just signed up on Twitter to yell at him, how do I see the other peoples tweets?

that was our best play?
Nice play call Vinny!
Not sure what C.Paul was doing to be honest.
love chris paul but I don't know what happened?
vinny's no match for pop!
Our best overall 3 point shooter is Mo

Foye is the hot hand

Paul is the best overall player

That was just a dumb play though

we had more time
I'm speechless.
Gomes stupid inbound pass made us forget his best game of the yr

well for his standars

From the best win of the season

must be hard refraining from profanity in that
do you mind if I get it out now?
go right ahead.

that way you do not have to edit your recap as much.

Ryan gomes,

Are you fucking kidding me. I am so entirely fucking speechless you piece of shit ecuse for an athlete. I defend you on these boards, I tout your abilitities and your smarts, and gueess what?

I WAS FUCKING WORONG YOU PIECE OF SHIT. Do us a favor and blow out your own knee.

Easy LJ

Title: Ryan Gomes wins it for the Spurs

Body: (See above)

Conclusion: Have at it.

its 12:30 am here, but wont make the loss feel any better for me
Please stash Gomes in the D-League.
who would y'all pick between

vinny
dunleavy
gentry

(we should have hired dwayne casey…)

I would've loved to see Rick Adelman had he been free a year earlier. He's doing pretty well with the Wolves.
Gentry hasn't done a bad job with the Suns

he got a declining team to the conference finals a couple yrs ago.

None of the above.
easy.

Gentry. He know how to use PG and pick N rolls

Dear Clipper Fans,

If you’re wondering why we wanted to sign JR Smith, this is probably why. To stop ever letting R.Gomes see the light of day.

vinny would fuck that up to!
What a crappy loss.
i blame VDN even more then gomes for this loss
fire vinny fire vinny fire vinny fire vinny fire vinny
F*** GOMES

and F*** DEL idiot for putting him in the game at crunch time!

I don't understand how you can bring someone off the bench who is obviously fighting his demons mentally

to inbound in a crucial part of the game. Seriously Vinny? You can’t even in bound the ball? You have Blake and DJ. Just lob the ball up. I know theyre bad at fts, but at least it won’t be a TO. Happy Saturday Everyone.

GOMES must go
i hope donald sterling bans him from the building
The game ball was going to go to Foye

But the game bal should go to Gomes for giving the Spurs the win

We won't win a single playoff game.

Not with this STUPID-ASS coach that puts in a total choker like Gomes in clutch-time situations!

Never have i been so mad at a clipper player
yeah i feel terrible for foye

he was awesome tonight, but i won’t remember this game for him anymore.

I mean seriously the game was over!

wtf! Seriously its like hes playing for the opposite team

gomes almost threw away the game in philly too

but VDN gives him the ball anyway

vinny killed all praise

He made the same mistake with the inbounder

Vinny

I know you can’t call decent plays. All we ask, as Clipper fans, is for the ball to be inbounded properly.

if we all trash talk at gomes on twitter, may be he's gonna suicide... just sayin
hes getting paid alot of money to produce SOMETHING

hes producing just not for the team thats paying him!

that's hilarious

gomeside

seriously just cant believe this loss.
you aint the only one
ditto

I’m still numb

we are not going anywhere with this coach!
watching the replay 95-95 when chris had the shot he was fouled twice
the refs are crooked
On a separate, but related note

The Blazers fan site for SB nation had a pretty cool/interesting post about fishy refs.

seriously, if the clippers fired VDN tomorrow i would be so happy
DTS wouuld bring in someone worse
Nobody's worse than VDN.
sloan would be perfect
Seriously, which teams can we actually beat in the playoffs?

I’m thinking zero. Not when we’re handicapped before a single minute of gametime by our dumbass coach.

i am with you on this. VDN must go
VDN = first-round sweep.
generally paul's savvy overpowers vdn's stupidity

but little he can do if we have a dolt inbounding the ball

Cut gomes NOW.

We need everyone at staples center booing gomes whenever he’s mentioned or in the game or touches the ball.

I hate booing our own players

but…

he gets paid money to produce!

when he not only does not produce but hurts his own team in the worst way he deserves to be booed. We aren’t playing for lottery balls anymore folks.

True

He’s the only player I’m close to booing. I feel uncomfortable booing an end of the bench player like Cookie.

He deserves to get the Aundray Blatche treatment.
Why are we blaming Gomes?

Pass was decent, CP3 came too hard at the ball. At the very least, CP3 should have thrown the ball over his head to prevent the backcourt violation.

Why are we blaming Gomes?

Because he actually threw a shitty pass in clutch time AGAIN.

The pass was catchable

It wasn’t the best pass.. but it wasn’t bad. If we are going to blame, CP3 deserves a share of the blame. Saying it like it is.

not cp3's fault

he never should have gotten a pass right before he crossed the halfcourt line. blaming cp3 for that pass is like blaming the goalie in hockey/soccer when his own defender scores on him. all gomes’ fault.

CP caught it,

but gomes led him across the midline. Goems should have waited for Paul to get into the backcourt

yeah yeah

blame CP3…how dare he not catch a shitty pass and try to throw it over his head.

gomes should have waited till cp got beyond half court
I agree

the one to blame is VDN. What the hell was he thinking about when he put gomes on the floor????????

I think he was supposed to lead CP in the backcourt
If that was the intention,...

then it was a terrible pass… but I wasn’t so sure. I thought CP3 could have caught that pass and stayed in the frontcourt…

I can't defend Vinny anymore

I’m convinced we are not gonna win shit as long as he is coaching this team. He seen Gomes almost give away a game in Philly why have him in again.

Why the $#@ does VDN feel the need to give Gomes the biggest possession of the ball game?
that is why chicago got him out, his lo basketball IQ
Also, Ryan Gomes is trending on twitter - GO!
What are the physical issues for Paul that Vinny is talking about?
Sounds like a fucking excuse...

for Vinny’s DUMBASS plays that lost us the game. Way to throw our star player under the bus, Vinny.

gomes killed us
no, vdn killed us
the two man game killed us

gomes and VDN

bad day in our history
Gomes can be a hero

with a simple little pass to a wide open cp3 but noooooooo even that is to difficult for Gomes to do.

his brain can't compute
im sorry but this loss is almost entirely on vdn and very much on gomes

i really hate to isolate the game to one player/player, but the team had all the momentum going into that possession, and it was completely deflating.

deflating is an understatement
if gomes is ever used in crunch time with a healthy butler ever again im going to flip
how about right now?
interesting is on twitter all the nba "experts" are saying it was CP3's fault, not Gomes.
The pass was behind him.. It's on Gomes.
Because maybe it is?
even CP3 is taking the blame right now
He tried to prevent the worst case scenario: a turnover.

I wouldn’t doubt it if CP shoulders the blame on this but the rationale at the point which the pass was out of reach, he’s thinking prevent a turnover.

From John Hollinger

“CP play = Wade play at end of ’06 Finals Game 5. Only one foot established in front. I believe he could have caught it and gone to backcourt”

gomes killed us
Poor execution coming off a timeout yet again.

I’m a firm believer in going with the guys that got you there; you don’t bring a cold guy off the bench to get the ball in.

Hell, have a guard throw it in.

3 point lead with seconds to go. We have Foye, Williams, Paul, Bledsoe, Bulter. Anyone of them can hit 1/2 FT.

Why?

We have a great passing big in Blake. Let him pass it in.

it is all on VDN for poor decision
VDN pulled a Dunleavy AGAIN

That’s the 2nd time he’s brought in a cold Gomes to throw in a ball in a crucial late-game situation and Gomes has thrown it away. C’mon, Vin, learn from your frickin’ mistakes.

thanks for the loss ryan
F This loss

Clips need to suck it up and beat Ws and a depleted Denver team this week and i will forgive them for this loss. It sucks but its just one game against one of the best teams in the L.

Not really. Those games should be W's regardless of this game.

This game is frustrating cause of what it means. If the Clippers lost by 10 on bad defense, fine. I’d take that over this.

har to suck it up when you have the game in your pocket
Clips need at least a 10 game win streak to make me forget about this loss

Peace out guys

VDN needs to resign and take Gomes with him.
you can forgive the clips

but can you forgive gomes?? because i sure cant! and never will

Oh goodness

We lost the game… that sucks…. let’s move on… and stop crying.

Waive Gomes first

the man is a detriment to this team…

Why are we hating on him so bad

He sucks, but dude’s trying. As ineffective as he is, I can’t dislike him. We feel terrible about this loss, but how bad do you think he feels?

Who cares how he feels? He's getting paid millions of dollars to do this.

If you suck at your job, you get fired.

this has nothing to do with feelings.

We are in this to win it all….this isn’t playing for lottery balls like the past. When you get paid to produce something you have to produce. You don’t get a free pass because your feelings might get hurt.

Hes a detriment to the team now get his a** out of LA

If that is the case

maybe he should take up knitting.

let him work concessions at Staples

I feel much safer with him selling popcorn than playing professional basketball.

I don't care how hard he's trying...

he SUCKS and doesn’t belong on this team.

No. we didn't just lose a game.

We had the game won and VDN & Gomes gave it away. It’s not just a loss.

What is it then?

End of the world?

People overreact and yeah, it’s annoying, but whatever. I just choose to ignore them.

How is it overreacting?

It’s called being a die hard fan yeah we are upset over losses we had won.

telling Gomes' family to die

is overreacting

ill cry if i want to

im a clipper fan

have to run off with these next three

Abuse the Warriors, beat up denever at home and fight hard against a tough Minny team

ITS JUST ONE GAME

It sucks big time but Clips are still a great team and still gonna win many games going forward. I thought it would be a blowout, at least we showed we have enough talent to beat SA in the future.

just not a game, it was an important one. we are not winning if not learning from our mistakes
Also, I am beginning to suspect CP3 may be hurt

he just hasnt looked like himself lately…heck we started to make that run back into the game when he was on the bench.

Why didnt bledsoe get more burn? He was playing very very solid defense.

maybe that is what Vinny the Ninny is talking about.
have fun writing this recap LJ Hann!
it's one of those classic scenarios where you don't know where to start

so I just went off of the play by play to get going. Hopefully I can channel this dissapointment into some solid writing.

just put a giant picture of Gomes lol
New definition of disappointment: Ryan Gomes. (c) Urban Dictionary
why didnt he jus Lob lead pass it over Paul into the backcourt
Why does this only happen to the Clippers???

I might be exaggerating a little bit… but this happen more to the Clippers than anybody…

because we do not hire competent coaches.
We can't blame this on just one person...

It’s a combination of Gomes’ bad pass, VDN letting Gomes inbounding the pass, and Chris Paul not realizing he can probably just keep going with the ball

There are also earlier points in the game that we can pinpoint…. it doesn’t only take one play or one player to lose a game

Chris Paul IS HURT. Vinny said he is fighting some "physical things" in the post game press conference.

As much as Gomes could have thrown it in the back court, CP3 could have come to a jump stop to keep from going into the back court or swallow the ball rather than throwing to someone for an open 3. If Foye was playing “safety” he should have been guarding the 3-point line. Much blame to go around on this as Gomes’ pass wasn’t necessarily bad if CP3 was going for the jump stop.

+1

This guy gets it.

"Fighting some physical things"?

Nice excuse, Vinny.

Don't think it's an excuse but he hasn't been shooting well the last 10 games.
uhm, shooting well?

he started this game 1-7 and the last game he shot poor til the 4th quarter too.

just put up a vent thread in the front page
