I think it's safe to say that no matter who they draft the Clippers will never win a championship in my lifetime.

memphis prob trade down if they dont want rubio - theyre super dumb tho so i guess u never know
Now that the Lakers are past Houston, I will transfer my temporary alliegance to the Nuggets, but only for the purposes of Laker playoff elimination. No lasting commitment is implied or intended.
I hope the Lakers are tired and underprepped and the Nugs come out thundering and steal home court in the first game.

Most shocking thing in that first quarter was Billups missing two free throws. What the hell?

all dues must be paid in full, but the clips will just eat 3 years of griffin's career. but it was gonna be grim there for some rookie, no matter what.

rookie contract takes 5 years to play out fully - 2 years min

Both teams played hard
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 03:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Both Bryant and Anthony had awesome games both ends of the court.
I like how Jackson used Bryant/Ariza on Billups and Fisher on Jones.
OTOH Gasol is a fucking mystery sometimes.

dope game, kobe vs melo was a treat. both guys were going so hard

as much as the clippers suck griffin gets to go to LA - not exactly a horrible deal - also they could conceivably be mediocre in his tenure instead of horrifically bad - a small consolation but it's something - also, what about him pulling an eli manning and going "no i refuse to play for the lousy ass clippers sorry" - do nba players have that kind of leverage? im not even sure but he should think about it

Q: has carmelo made "the leap" during this year's playoffs?
― a short guy with a lot of power (Clay), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 09:09 (fifteen years ago) link
no - he's not even their most important player
― oj da hoosman (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 09:15 (fifteen years ago) link
He's absolutely not, no! Chauncey's made a huge claim this year to being way more important than probably anybody ever imagined. I'm just sayin', melo's made a jump this spring that I never thought he'd ever make: elite scorer, decent defender, major part of a great team.
― a short guy with a lot of power (Clay), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 11:58 (fifteen years ago) link
He looks a lot fitter to me.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:23 (fifteen years ago) link
Although he might just be wearing a smaller uniform.
Last night was the best game I've ever seen the dude play. I was impressed.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:26 (fifteen years ago) link
melo had nagging injuries all year and never got healthy and on track til the last quarter of the season now he killin it - having chauncy around to formalize the offense is def a big help to him - shot selection much better
btw putting kobe on chauncey was a super smart move by phil - much better match up for the lakers than kobe/melo cause melo is so big
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:37 (fifteen years ago) link
It's the best matchup for Kobe, since guarding Melo for an entire game would be too wearing. I like that Phil put Kobe on Melo at the end of the half/game though. Kobe doesn't seem to have lost a step defensively to me.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link
kobe was def v good on D last nite - he can still crank it up - i just dont think he has the day in day out intensity he used too - but if he can do that for the whole series w/o wearing down who gives a fuck
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link
also, what about him pulling an eli manning and going "no i refuse to play for the lousy ass clippers sorry" - do nba players have that kind of leverage? im not even sure but he should think about it

Absolutely - see Stevie Franchise and Kobe
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:09 (fifteen years ago) link
kobe iirc correctly was going to be traded all along and the hornets drafted him for the lakers in one of those wonderfully convoluted draft day maneuvers beloved by trivia people everywhere - francis tho def - when he was drafted rookie contracts/rights werent structured the way they are now and he may have had more leverage than todays class - i dont recall the particularities
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:16 (fifteen years ago) link
The Clips aren't even that bad on paper - Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, Marcus Camby... but maybe that's cause their roster looks like it was assembled by a fantasy basketball player. Dunleavy's a terrible coach, though, and they don't really have a head-straightener outside of Davis, and lord knows there's a lot of players on that team who need it.
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link
camby & davis are wicked injury prone and getting old too
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, though I think Davis is one of those guys who suspiciously gets injured when his heart's not in it, he was playing through a lot of pain in his final year at GS. Camby is definitely glass-man no. 1 in the NBA though
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah davis was def super depressed this year - lol fuckd over by elton brand and david falk
