Kev, was that "fine him" link supposed to be that moment where Tony Allen grabbed the ref?

I almost hate cp3 as much as D Fish at this point. reallllllly cant stand to watch him or his team.

lol that matt went back to november to pull up a sarge post, typical

sorry went to her but it was a griffin flop, dunno why it didn't show up

crazy how del negro is still going 10-deep for the playoffs.

would really like to see this Clips team with a better coach -- great pieces, so-so cohesion

their offense needs to be better than 'give it to chris paul'

Was wondering if people were still down on Del Negro. Got some luv for the former wolfpack alum.

popovich talked a lot about how much he likes paul and griffin after the all-star game...

but yeah right now it just feels like their strategy is having a guy who can create shots in the paint, a guy who can create jumpers/threes, and a guy who can create shots anywhere and just get one of them the ball. And they actually do have a potentially very good passing team and they're a reasonably smart team, so I feel like someone else could do so much more with them.

Swear announcers almost have a slapstick routine built around "It's almost like the Clippers have two coaches: Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups." Seems like CP3 + a great coach would be deadly.

Also, coming off Drew sitting Horford / Hollins sitting ZBo for the last four minutes last night ... would love to know if there's some obscure stat about sitting players in foul trouble vs. letting them play through. Have always had a feeling that coaches over-coach those situations and end up sitting their better players too much.

yeah, I heard that line once or twice.

At one point watching last night I had the thought "this is the greatest team in the history of pickup basketball."

nah that's houston

Paul George most improved

jesus avery bradley had the first pass of the game deflected

protip: dont pass to knicks

hey guys mike brown! coaching the cavs! lebron is coming back right? right???

i hope his contract is in comic sans

feel bad for mike dunlap :(

I would feel bad for Dunlap if management had made him give all those minutes to Mullens (which they may have)

whoa Jr from deep

JR is just nuts this year where did he come from

i've always believed

JR's offense this season isn't much different from his better seasons in Denver, it's the defense that's better. Also a little less insane.

JR's defense came and went tbh. he just got more minutes this year

hey there it is "you just cannot leave..."

whoa sanders just met lebron at the rim

WADE

JR's career percentages: 43-37-74
6th man season: 42-36-76

really hoping the Knicks give him the full midlevel

surprised jr is that good from three for his career considering how many awful shots he takes

yeah that's interesting, his increased scoring and rebound numbers also seem to be entirely accounted for by increased minutes. I think part of the reason I felt like he was having a career season is he wasn't as good the last couple years.

did they just refer to "championship possibilities" re: the knicks?

birdman is just dominating this game

lol simmons is gonna regret not jumping off the rubio bandwagon when he had the chance

JR flop

lol @ simmons writing 1000 words defending bosh

having not payed a lot of attention to the celtics during the regular season, their offense seems kind of lost without Allen

catching up on last night's game, i think blake has the ugliest post game of all the big men in the post season

yep

well joel anthony played a couple minutes tonight

When weighed against expectations, though...

weve talked about it on ilh before I think, its really crazy how his post game hasnt grown at all!

well it's always been really effective. he's a better all-around player now too

mike conley is actually kinda nice! also lol @ jamal crawford making everybody look foolish, does he have a nickname yet

is he xp? I thought he took a step back this year, no?

jamal and cp3 are two of the top five ball handlers in the league
