My advice is don't- I thought all year they would start losing due to lack of bench, injuries etc- for some reason they don't, they just keep winning, I can't explain it!
blake griffin has taken his game to the next level. that is a major factor.
But they were winning even when he was out injured- their success defies logic
Everything is just clicking for them..Alot of it has to do with how they have been able to slow Harden down...But the bench for the Clippers has been huge..I really think this series is over but some one needed to take Blake's confidence away...I think the next series if the meet the Grizzlies(??) will be vastly different..It will be a lot closer..Against GS, I'll take the Clippers..
you are so biased and inconsistent with your arguments.
Harden is getting assists, not shooting the team out of games and is playing with numerous stiffs who can barely help. Josh Smith is their savior ... yay.
But Melo leaves in all on the court? How? by playing great defense? By jacking up 30 shots and hitting them at an abominable rate? This is not the ultimate bias? You would be held in contempt if you tried to actually make this argument.
The clippers are freakin loaded and have an HOF coach!
Harden is doing what he can yet nobody else is. I actually think that his defense has been much better too but the Clippers are unstoppable right now and clicking on all cylinders.
Baised how, My message has always been consistent...Are you saying Melo doesn't play hard or play to win???..Do you think guys like Barnes can get into Melo's head? and change the way he plays???...Do you think freaking JJ Redick could slow Melo down???..Houston is down 3-1 and waiting for Harden to carry them...
Are you saying that Houston wasn't the favorite going into this series???
you are saying that Melo is mentally tough? Did you not see how easy it is to get into his head and make him chuck up horrible shots?
everybody wants to win in the playoffs and leave it all out there. Melo gives it his all in the playoffs, especially on offense. He just takes terrible shots and that is partly because people get into his head and partly because he gets into his own head with a silly overestimation of his of every shot attempt that he takes.
to be right you make so many strawman arguments that are not backed by ANY data.
I do respect your intellect and I agree with you about a lot of players but it seems like they are for the wrong reasons.
You really need to hold every player to the same level of accountability.
so here is what phil is thinking ....
