NBA Game Action: 4/3/2014

I think the Spurs REALLY want the Clippers to beat OKC in the 2nd round.

 

Man, I feel for the Spurs...a better team than the Thunder but a terrible match up.

 

Ehh they don't want to play them but the spurs are old and they are playing their fifth game in seven nights against a thunder team coming off four days rest. This is hardly a shock.

 

I think you are 100% correct lol.

 

ibaka makes the thunder a bad match up for any team that's likes to get points in the paint, your ****s have to be falling... On top of that you have to worry about Durant & Westbrook

 

Ibaka is a terribly overrated defender. All he does is go for the weak side block. That doesn't mean you can defend.

 

seems to always happen against the thunder

 

Pop should've just Pop'd and sat everyone. It would've been better pyschologically than getting their **** pushed in again. I'm actually surprised he played everyone except Manu.

 

He protects the rim makes players scared to drive, his one on one defense is not a big issue when you can do that. They have plenty of offense

 

It is amazing how much better Reggie plays against the Spurs than he does against the rest of the league.

 

You are underestimating the impact of a great weak side blocker. Everyone gets second thoughts going to the paint and players start settling for jump shots.

 

The arena looks dark on TV for some reason... it doesn't usually.

 

Watching him shut down TD tonight, I think he might be ready to be their starting C next season.

 

Manu was out and they were on the back end of a tough part of schedule. OKC was rested.

Don't put too much into regular season games b/t contenders when these kind of scheduling conflicts happen. They don't mean a thing in the playoffs.

 

Brent>>>>>>>>>Reggie

Pls TNT, no more Reggie!

 

That reminds me: I really enjoyed listening to Kevin Calabro in the first game. A blast from the past.

 

Never thought I would see dirks fadeaway get blocked. Great defense by Blake

 

Mavs seem to play the Clippers consistently well. Doubt the Mavs would have much of a chance winning 4 of 7 games, but it could get interesting if they were matched up.

 

The problem is the Mavs can't seem to finish against the Clippers. In all 3 games so far this season, the Clippers stormed back with huge game-closing runs. Seems like they have the Mavs number.

 

how come the mavs can close against the clippers but we can't?
