Los Angeles Clippers - San Antonio Spurs Series Thread.

[nuraman00]

Game is turning into a blowout, late in 3rd.

[nuraman00]

12-25, 2:20 left in 1st.

[IowaSacKing93]

Hey nuraman00.

[nuraman00]

Splitter with a flying two-handed dunk.

[nuraman00]

Hey IowaSacKing93 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?9-IowaSacKing93). :) So did you finish that Nip/Tuck episode? Will you continue through season 1?

[IowaSacKing93]

Hey IowaSacKing93 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?9-IowaSacKing93). :) So did you finish that Nip/Tuck episode? Will you continue through season 1?

I saw 25m last night..continuing that episode now.

I wasn't in a mood to watch that type of show last night (I'm more into lighter, comedy type shows if I've smoked).

[IowaSacKing93]

Also, the son of the blonde doctor freaked the shit out of me. Kid looks like Michael Jackson

Then watch Curb Your Enthusiasm after you smoke! You'll be done with season 1 in a week. (Download it or do whatever you need to do ).

I know, i try to encourage myself to watch new shows. But I always find myself watching The Office LOL (I randomly started watching season 3 and now I'm on season 5, and I've seen all these episodes atleast 3-5 times)

You can get the dark urine out.

Ok, then maybe when you're done with The Office? I just really think you'll like CYE.

[nuraman00]

Clippers remind me of a worse FT shooting version of a Denver or Phoenix. Except that Paul plays at a slower pace.

Griffin did have some nice moves in the post, but usually he hesitates too much.

Foye was decent.

[IowaSacKing93]

Ok, then maybe when you're done with The Office? I just really think you'll like CYE.

I'm not watching it religiously or anything. If it's late and I'm looking for something to watch, it's my 'go-to' show because it's a guaranteed laugh and a guaranteed quality show.

It took me awhile to get hooked on Weeds, but I did after season 1. I'll watch NipTuck for now, and if it doesn't work out, then I'll try CYE again.

Ok. I would try to watch the full 1st season of Nip/Tuck, just because the plot had some great developments.

There's a villain in the latter of season 1, that rivals Tuco.

And if you don't like it after that, then you can quit.

Also, I think you need to download CYE, so I at least just want you to have the Season 1 eps handy.

[IowaSacKing93]

This episode is getting good.

You probably don't remember but why was Christian drawing blood from those ladies' faces? (He went to some apartment where there were 10 models snorting coke, and then drew blood from one of the models, then she walked out of the room, and her boyfriend walked in)

[nuraman00]

Duncan is playing great.


A Duncan vs. Garnett Finals is looming like a possibility.

[IowaSacKing93]

I'll watch the 4th quarter if it's still a game. I'm about 13 minutes away from ending this episode too (it's a 66 minute pilot!)

[nuraman00]

He's not drawing blood, he's giving them botox injections. Botox is what you use to reduce wrinkles on your face. (What it does is relax the nerves).

The one thing I like about these shows, is all of these surgeries look very real. It's part medical drama.

[nuraman00]

Most finales and premieres of that show were 66-70 minutes. (That was in real time, so maybe 55 minutes in episode time).

[nuraman00]

I see the gold-out. Yeah, they definitely didn't do that in previous years.

Not bad. Just use it selectively, IMO. Once a series or something.

[IowaSacKing93]

In almost every movie/show that I've seen centered in Miami, there is always the scene where someone is dumping a body in the Everglades (including in Dexter and in this show now).

[IowaSacKing93]

There was a lot that happened in that episode.

It looked like Sean and Christian were maybe done working with one another ,and going their seperate ways, after all that time.

Sean had a big argument with his wife.

Christian was in real danger with some gangster.

But at the end, everything seems fine-ish, and somewhat back to normal.

Good pilot.

I didn't know that region was called the Everglades, lol.

So other than the pilot, every episode afterward is named after a patient who has surgery. That plot is not always the center of the episode, but every episode has at least one unique patient.

The pilot had a unique patient too, it just wasn't named after him.

[nuraman00]

Diaw and Duncan are so good together.


They use their arms to make plays in the paint.

[IowaSacKing93]

The swamps in South Florida?

[IowaSacKing93]

Diaw with a spin move into the lane and a nice no-look dish to Splitter.

[IowaSacKing93]

Ok, have the game on mute and starting EP 2.

[IowaSacKing93]

Hey look David Stern and his puppet , I mean, deputy commissioner Adam Silver are in attendance

[IowaSacKing93]

JACKPOT! This new Dr. Santiago is the same actress who played Miguel Prado's wife in S3 of Dexter.

And she's smoking

She's only there during the first season.

But don't worry, there's always hot people on this show.

What did you think of Kimber Henry? (The blond from the first episode). She is a major character throughout the entire series.

[nuraman00]

Game 3 is starting.

[nuraman00]

Clippers are more dominant today. 11-29, end of 1st.

[nuraman00]

Clippers had a 24 point lead, now it's down to 15.

[nuraman00]

It got down to 8 points. 43-53 halftime.

[nuraman00]

Tie game 57.

[nuraman00]

Spurs on a 24-0 run.

[nuraman00]

69-61 4th quarter. Still anyone's game.

[nuraman00]

76-65.

[Sir Harry]

what an embarrassment for the Clipps.....I find this amusing.....lolx

[nuraman00]

what an embarrassment for the Clipps.....I find this amusing.....lolx

Spurs are the most talented team, I think they'd beat a healthy Bulls or Heat team.

I wanted to see a Spurs-Heat Finals before the playoffs started.

[PackfanMatt_12]

SWEEP

[nuraman00]

SWEEP

It's hard to sweep a team.

At worst, I think this will be a close game, within 4 points, either way.

[nuraman00]

There have been two times a team down 3-0 took it to 7.


* Portland-Dallas 2003
* Utah-Denver 1994


There have been several other times a team down 3-0 took it to 6. Most recently:


* Boston-Orlando 2010
* Detroit-Chicago 2007

[nuraman00]

With that said, I predicted a sweep, but I want to see a competitive series.

[PackfanMatt_12]

I also predicted a sweep and I love seeing Griffin fail

[PackfanMatt_12]

BTW if I could have any big man teach and groom Cousins I would pick Duncan

[nuraman00]

What don't you like about him? (I know what some other posters don't like about him, but was just wondering about you specifically).

[nuraman00]

Duncan, Hakeem.

On the other hand, Hakeem has worked with many, and no one can really implement any of his greatness. I guess it's just really hard, lol.

I want Cousins to pick up his D next year. Charges are good for 2-3 possessions every 3-4 games, but I thought he defended better positionally his rookie year.

Also, it doesn't help when Evans and Thornton suck on defense, and Thompson has maxed out as a below average defender).

But if Cousins can do his part, it will help.

Right now, no one is really an average defender on the Kings.

[PackfanMatt_12]

Re; Why I am not a Griffin fan

1.) He is Arrogant
-He believes he is the gift to the people in Los Angels and he should get special treatment from the NBA (and they give it to him)
2.) Besides dunk and rebound what can he do
-SERIOUSLY there is so much hype for Griffin simply because of his great rebounds. Great job Fake Griffin you can dunk like it's NBA Jam go play for the Globe Trotters then. You don't play D, you have no true post moves and when you are faced with a smarter, more physical big man (Duncan, KG, Love, etc.) you get obliterated. You are overrated. Do something with your game in the offseason because until you do while you may be a dunk machine you will not be one of the greatest big men in the NBA and your team will never make it very far in the playoffs

[nuraman00]

Great layup by Bledsoe. Timeout Popovich.

I think he's like Shaq, in that he's hard to officiate. There's a lot of contact that goes both ways.

Griffin leads the league over the past two years, in Flagrant fouls taken.

Here was one of the uncalled fouls from last weekend:

http://i45.tinypic.com/2nbzqk4.gif


In terms of "wanting special treatment", I think he just wants something to be done about the number of people that have gone after him.

[nuraman00]

I'd also like to see a team go undefeated. We're a long way from that, but if the Spurs win a few more games, I'll start such a thread.

Kind of like I did with the Packers, when I thought it was possible for them.

What I want all you guys to do is
-throw out random numbers saying it is the square footage of the Hornets arena
Hijack one of nuramans precious Playoff Predictions Threads
Make fun of the "sport" called Tennis


We must retaliate if we absolutely need to we will pull out "The Nuke"
This is a war we will not lose gentlemen

[nuraman00]

We have a classic duel between Duncan and Griffin.

I just like seeing history being made, in the good way.

I'm not like Jim Rome, who was rooting for the Lions to go winless.

I root for the opposite, for no hitters or someone making history.

[PackfanMatt_12]

[nuraman00]

Actually, I had a good thread title for the Packers too.

The Greatest Team In The History Of The NFL. (http://kingsforum.net/live/showthread.php?109-The-Greatest-Team-In-The-History-Of-The-NFL&highlight=Packers)

We're not fighting. :)

I won't let myself get into a fight with you.

[nuraman00]

I remember on the Portland board a few years ago, someone started a thread about Strasburg's debut. It was something like "The earth will stop rotating on its axis tonight".

[PackfanMatt_12]

Eric Bledsoe Press Conference Game

[nuraman00]

Eric Bledsoe Press Conference Game

He had 23 points in game 1.

[nuraman00]

The best "Press Conference Game" I saw was when Troy Hudson had 37 points against the Lakers in 2003.

He was TNT's Gatorade Peak Performer.

[nuraman00]

Actually, Damon Jones had a few Press Conference games in 2005.

[PackfanMatt_12]

Clippers finally playing as a unit and are dedicated to winning this game

[nuraman00]

Most Spurs 3's are from the corner, not the wing.

[nuraman00]

Clippers finally playing as a unit and are dedicated to winning this game

I didn't think Bledsoe could play like this in the playoffs, just because 2nd year players who aren't part of the rotation, don't normally break out like this.

Jeff Teague last year, and Daniel Gibson in 2007, are some of the only other examples I can think of.

[nuraman00]

92 all.

[PackfanMatt_12]

Duncan is pure sweetness

[nuraman00]

Wow, that Paul shot counts!

[nuraman00]

Duncan is pure sweetness

I wish I could see more games where he scored 30+. I always seem to miss them.

He scored 37 points when he closed out the Lakers in 2003, but I missed that one.

[nuraman00]

What did you think of the flagrant fouls stat I showed, and the Randolph uncalled foul on Griffin? I think his gripe about getting hit hard is legit, the same way Shaq, LeBron James (other similar athletic guys) have said the same thing about themselves.

I was surprised by the Flagrant fouls one. He may not get some calls where he is abused but he abuses right back. SHould some be called when he is getting hit yes, but maybe he should stop acting like a gift to the NBA and learn to respect the men who play it

[nuraman00]

101-99.


I say Paul for the layup.

[PackfanMatt_12]

I say Griffin tries to shoot a jumper and bricks it

[PackfanMatt_12]

I wanted to go bold obviously Paul to the lane was only option bt wanted to be bold

[nuraman00]

Good game. This competitive.

[nuraman00]

I say Griffin tries to shoot a jumper and bricks it

They've rarely gone to Griffin, it's been Paul or Billups.

Sort of how the Spurs go to Ginobili or Parker, not Duncan.

[nuraman00]

K, see you in tomorrow's game. I'm going to try and watch the Boston-Philly game from the start, but on delay. So I might not be posting live until I catch up.

Since it's a 2-2 series, I want to watch as much of that Boston-Philly game as possible.

[PackfanMatt_12]

I actually stayed and watched a game and posted in a series thread WOW> Now I actually have to start my MLB Power Rankings

I don't know why but I was thinking baseball here (these two teams are playing each other right now) so I was trying to figure why you had any interest in a Phillies/Red Sox game in May, and both teams are sucking this year. lol.
