knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

What a collapse by the Clippers. Not sure what they need to do but something is lacking there.

start with getting rid of negative-sum players like crawford and get a bench player who plays on both ends

They are weak at the 2 and 3 imo. Reddick, Craw and Barnes are back ups imo.

It wasnt. But Harden threw himself in the ground to sell the call... smh

maybe the elbow earlier but definitely some acting

He didn't touch him..Harden was pointing to Griffin saying Griffin fouled him..

True but Josh Smith picking up the slack and thensome...

he has been good but 1 rebound and 0 assists today.

interesting to take a really sh1tty player and make him play well. Who gets credit for that?


And that heaven from Prigs. He is their second best guard

Blake Griffin 's defense

and corey brewer? and prigs?

Houston has a bunch of stiffs and hasbeens that the are playing quality ball.

Priggs s far from a bad player. He has his flaws but I'd ride with Prigs all day. Brewer bugs on the heart strings but he has even underwhelming to say the least.

They 're hitting at the right time which is great but the Clippers gave the series away and we would be not talking about this.

I love prigs! Unfortunately for him that he had to waste seasons playing with selfish guys in NY.

We can keep on saying that the clippers gave the series away but Houston capitalized on it in game 6 and tonight, they owned the clippers. Houstons pace is completely exhausting.

Kevin Mchale has done a fabulous job with this team.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Blake Griffin has zero heart and zero fight and was shook..Time running out and he was left wide open and didn't shoot the ball...Later, down by a lot with less than a minute to go he is again wide open and takes the shot wide open two with his foot on the line...

CP3 had no help...

not really ... was it an 8 point lead at the time?

And, is that why the clippers lost? C'mon

Harden sells fouls. He is good at it as is manu and lebron.

18 foul shots tonight! Who said that he would not get the calls in the playoffs?

I don't know who to root against in the WCF..I mean both teams are a little smug..Harden with the circular hand job when he hits a shot..Harden and DHow with that stupid hair cut..Draymon Green gets under my skin..Not a big fan of Curry..Haven't figured why yet..

many here love bad players. you can't win with players like crawford. rivers should have given barnes more minutes.

You can win with Crawford when he's hot- unfortunately he is a very streaky player, and usually goes cold when you need him. He has aged a lot this season though- he was awful for most of it. To be fair he was a huge reason for the Clips winning the games they did in these playoffs.

Clips are in a tough position now- there's a high chance Jordan leaves for the Mavs. Crawford is likely done. I don't know what the heck was wrong with Barnes most of the season, but now they have to think about upgrading from him. Despite the 2 good games, Rivers son is not really an nba player. So they may end up having to replace Jordan, Barnes, Crawford and their entire bench with only about $7mil (if Jordan walks and they pick up Crawfords team option). I think they may end up with Tyson in a sign and trade.

The Clippers should sign-and-trade Jordan anyway.
