    I want the Warriors to win and all. But, holy shit, Mark Jackson quit bitching. That was not dirty basketball, that was playoff basketball. I know your team is finesse, but quit being a pussy. You act like you have never been a part of playoff basketball before.

    Apparently I missed something. Jackson call out the refs after the game?

    Chris Paul always screams when he shoots.

    M. Gasol's the best Center in the game fairly easily. So savvy.

    2nd year in a row Blake Griffin has disappointed in the playoffs

    I remember saying him and Love were overrated years ago. Love has done diddly poo and Griffin sucks in the half-court against a real defense. No shot creation.

    If the Clips lose this series, I could see some serious changes.

    1) Del Negro is gone.

    2) They might deal Jordan

    3) They will most likely want to keep Paul and Griffin, but anyone else will probably be available.

    Griffin has been horrible. He's a shit PF that only knows how to dunk. He can't shoot, sucks at the foul line and a terrible defender.

    When it's said and done; Aldridge will be the PF that everyone finally praises. Our team just needs to win games.

    I think Aldridge is up there with Kevin Love (when he's healthy), and I could see Anthony Davis at the top of the list in a year or two. I think the Clips' biggest problem is that they don't have a real scorer. Paul is a distributor, Griffin is just an athlete, so who is the guy in their starting five that will just flat out score?

    On cloud nine with the win, but... I don't want to hear the "Blake was hurt" stuff all over ESPN. Z-Bo and several players on both teams are playing through pain right now. Griffin's ankle looked pretty damn good when he was throwing down dunks in the first half. He left the game with less than seven minutes to go in the third, down 62-52, after getting owned by Z-Bo all night. I'm not doubting there was some pain, but c'mon... that wasn't the storyline... he was inconsequential regardless of the "injury."

    ...that's right, the Grizz are shocking the world right now! They have all of the experience and weapons needed to make a deep run!

    Hell yeah man! Although I don't like that it's shocking the world that we're up 3-2 on a team we had the same record as in the regular season haha.

    Just watched the highlights of the Golden State game that were supposed to be "dirty," and man, that's all overblown, especially when they contrasted them with some hard fouls by the Warriors earlier on in the series. I missed the GS/Den game because I was watching the nephew tonight, so maybe there's something I missed, but from what they showed... I just don't get what Mark Jackson was going on about...

    Just compare some of those "dirty" plays to some of the wrestling matches between Z-Bo and Griffin in the Clippers/Grizz series...

    ...agreed, I was definitely saying that emphatically with tongue firmly planted in cheek! Even if all of the so called "experts" never gave the Grizz a chance in hell.

    And I typically despise most things L.A. regardless!

    Griffin could hardly walk before the game. He gave it a go but he wasn't right. That's why Paul was aggressive as a scorer. The series isn't over by the way.
