Tyson Chandler is done as a force in the NBA. Anyone who pays him over 6million is kicking themselves in the foot. Hopefully it won't be us..offer him the vet min..

He averaged like 11/13 and 1.5bpg against Houston.......I thought he was solid on D how is that done? 6million for Chandler when guys like DJ is going to be making max (or close to it) and Splitter is making 11million that is like a insane bargain...It's not Chandlers fault Dirk is completely done as a defender and there guards could not stop Harden meaning he would have to always step up and be exposed on the lob. I don't see how Chandler is done as anything he's better than a huge % of NBA centers....Robin Lopez who we all wanted is averaging 5.5ppg and 4.5rpg in the NBA playoffs.....

Chandler is not done by a long shot in particular playing in one of the weakest positions in the NBA.

If we could get rid of JT and Landrys contracts and sign Tyson, I'd be happy. We could draft one of the plethora of big prospects to play behind Boogie/Chandler next year.

Our game's vs. Memphis would be primetime.

He's done as a force.

He's let Howard do whatever he wants on offense. For a shotblocker, he's not very effective when it comes to contesting Harden. Sure it's on his other teammates too, but I've seen so many plays in the playoff that resulted in easy dunks and layups with literally no one 5ft near the rim.
 
so it looks like CJ McCollum is having himself a nice series versus Memphis....too bad we didn't draft him, instead we get Ben.
 
So, I just got back from work in time to see the scrum between Carter-Williams and Dunleavy and, can I just say... gaaaaad damn! I hope this game gets replayed, because I want to know how a 44-point deficit happens in a playoff game.
 
Man, Thibs can't help himself: even in a 50-point win, Jimmy Butler still played thirty-two minutes! He's gonna kill that kid, one of these days.
 
so Diaw then Griffin touches it...I thought for a second the Clippers are doing everything they can to lose the game
 
this brooklyn Atlanta game right now....just epic fail. Atlanta took care of business though finally, off to play Washington.
 
Spurs and Clippers going to 7! If the Spurs lose they can only blame themselves and look back at the Pelicans game they lost at the end of the season. They could have gotten 2nd seed with a win instead of the 6th seed. Parker looks crap and can't buy a basket, Ginobili and Splitter aren't as effective. Won't be surprised if they lose big in LA today. Hope I'm wrong as I would like to see a Warriors Spurs western finals match up.

No, they can also blame the crap "division champion" seeding that put Portland ahead of them with fewer wins.
 
wow is right....now that was a game seven for the ages. still don't like the refs bailing Paul out on that close out by Tim but at least we get to see a different western conference team represent the finals this season which should make the finals that much more appealing if it's NOT Cleveland in them.
 
Great game 7, but the refs killed it. Bailed out Paul, blew the last play. Oh well tight series and a lot of good ball.
 
Great series. Paul and Griffin played very very well. What's done is done, can't believe I'm saying this but go Clippers and send those Rocket scum fishing! Will be both great and sad if that was Duncan's last game.

Was that the first time the Spurs ever lost in the first round with a healthy Tim Duncan?

Didn't the Grizz minus our current #2 option (injured) thrash the living crap out of the Spurs in like 2011 and the Spurs were the #1 seed and Memphis was #8.
 
That series completely slipped my mind but, even so, I'd hardly consider a series that went six games, with an average margin of victory of roughly three points, and only one game that was decided by double digits to qualify as "thrashing the crap out of the Spurs." Your mileage obviously varies.
 
Not I. I've got no love for the Clippers at all, but I sure as hell dislike them less than I dislike the Rockets.

Yeah you are correct for some reason I thought the Grizzlies trashed them and all I remember from that series was Z-Bo trashing everyone, I think I confused Z-Bo abusing everything in his path with the closeness of that series.
 
Harden vs. both Paul and Griffin? Leaning Rockets. Not sure if I should count Ballmer either way, though.
