Nov. 11, 2012: Hawks @ Clippers 12:30 PST

[Clippersfan86]

Should be a fun game. Teague vs Bledsoe will be awesome if they get enough burn.

[Clippersfan86]

Lol Atlanta is starting a frontcourt of Pachulia, Horford and Smith at 3. Reason why according to Larry Drew? To match up with DeAndre Jordan :oldlol: . That's how you know the man has improved. Also Vinny said Odom has lost 8 pounds so far.

[BuffaloBill]

Hawks by 25.

[Clutch]

I dislike both teams. With that being said the Clippers are in the West so I'll probably root for them.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Go Hawks

[Rubio2Gasol]

No that's one of the many ways you know Larry Drew is an idiot.

[senelcoolidge]

Bone head Josh Smith will shoot a lot of long 2's. If the Clippers come out flat, than the Hawks have a chance.

[fsvr54]

Teague 'bout to destroy CP3 like Kyrie did.

[Clippersfan86]

Teague 'bout to destroy CP3 like Kyrie did.

Then Bledsoe is gonna come in and lock that ass up.

[Whoah10115]

Could also be because Drew is an idiot.

[Clippersfan86]

Could also be because Drew is an idiot.

:oldlol: . I look forward to Smith playing SF and shooting a bunch of jump shots. Unless of course it happens to be the once every ten games where he shoots lights out.

[demons2005]

lol this should be good ,battle of the most overrated PG's in the league. the best one out there will probably get 10 miunte PT from Vinnie del genius

[Clutch]

I've just come here to see dunks :lol

[DuMa]

Blake wearing concords :pimp:

[kNIOKAS]

So much crap on this broadcast. Jesus.

Griffin looks clueless there. Dope.

[Clippersfan86]

LMAO at that foul call.

[Clippersfan86]

Wow CP3 finally playing great D for first time all year. DJ looking like a true defensive anchor.

[Faptastrophe]

I've just come here to see dunks :lol
Same here.

Let's hope Smoove plays better than friday. He started at SF though.. that's not a good sign.

[Whoah10115]

:oldlol: . I look forward to Smith playing SF and shooting a bunch of jump shots. Unless of course it happens to be the once every ten games where he shoots lights out.


I just find it to be ridiculous that Drew could be this stupid.


Smith and Butler are going to be going iso and jumpshot all game long. What a great matchup at SF.

[Clippersfan86]

I'd put Barnes out there on Smith. Smith is too damn long for him and is posting up and shooting hook shots right over him. Clippers have control of the game tempo wise but are missing so many easy shots. They need to be more aggressive and stop shooting jumpers. Still SMH at CP3 air balling that wide open 3...

[kingBynum]

griffin sucks monkeyballs...give the ball ti dj you bum.

and griffin will never be a great shooter

[Clutch]

Smith has some nice post moves.

[demons2005]

easy to play defense agains tthe most passive pg in the league (and that's exactly what Teague is, except for when he can get a highlight dunk so ppl overate him)

[EoJ]

cp3 is playing some pretty good d

[Clippersfan86]

Clippers actually playing very solid D Hawks just doing a great job finishing difficult shots. Blake defended Horford as well as you can on his hook shot.. he just he the very tough shot.

[kingBynum]

they are not giving dj the ball at all

[Clippersfan86]

they are not giving dj the ball at all

To much Caron ball and not enough CP3, Griffin, DJ ball. At least Griffin is a LITTLE more aggressive than he's been so far this season. Two fouls DJ has that shouldn't of even been called pisses me off.

[kNIOKAS]

That was a walk on Griffin's dunk. A blatant no call. Crab-dribble like! :eek:

[Clippersfan86]

Two travels on that move Smith, nice job.

[EoJ]

Ivan Johnson is dark af

[kingBynum]

blake can't pass

[Clutch]

Blake Griffin post moves :roll: :roll: :roll:

[demons2005]

Lou Williams is about to do like Irving vs the Clips. CP doesn't defend the 3pt shot and now everyone knows it

[Clippersfan86]

3 or 4 straight TERRIBLE possessions by the Clippers.

[kingBynum]

3 or 4 straight TERRIBLE possessions by the Clippers.
you mean by bum griffin....ugly post move, can't pass/ turnover machine

[kingBynum]

Blake Griffin post moves :roll: :roll: :roll:
ya, DJ has better move than bum griffin

[Clutch]

I always hated how CP3 is so passive. Guy can score 20+ on good percentage and he's taken only 2 shots in a quarter.
I know he's trying to set up teammates but I think the Clippers would be much more dangerous if CP3 decided to attack and score more.

[Clippersfan86]

you mean by bum griffin....ugly post move, can't pass/ turnover machine

Griffin's problem is he's passing TOO much, not that his game sucks. He needs to attack immediately and get to the line or get those layups/dunks to get him going. DJ was having a huge impact until two BS fouls sent him to the bench. I think Clippers will wake up and win by 10-15 eventually but they need to step up now.

[fsvr54]

Korver never scores in the first quarter

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe= beautiful chaos. Dude goes out of control and tumbles to the floor while finishing a layup in traffic :lol

[demons2005]

I think Clippers second unit would beat their first unit 2 times out of 3 but the media gives all the credit to their overrated "stars." That's not a sustainable situation

[Clippersfan86]

Refs seem whistle happy every weekend game.

[demons2005]

Anyone know why Teague gets to start over LouWill?

[kingBynum]

he holds on to the ball for 10000sec then

[brandonislegend]

Blake Griffin most overrated player in the league been saying this.

[Clippersfan86]

he holds on to the ball for 10000sec then

I agree he's holding ball way too much but he's also passing way too much. It's almost like he wants to be a 5th scoring option instead of a 2nd or 1st.

[kingBynum]

Blake Griffin most overrated player in the league been saying this.
yup just good at catching lobs

[Clippersfan86]

Blake Griffin most overrated player in the league been saying this.

Not as overrated as Rudy Gay who's shooting like 35 percent this year though.

[brandonislegend]

Not as overrated as Rudy Gay who's shooting like 35 percent this year though.
butthurt your boy is exposed? Rudy gay can do everything what does griffin do on defense or even offense

[Clippersfan86]

I feel like the Clippers have 0 rebounds, damn man. LOL at all the Hawks lucky ass shots. This is how I know Clippers will win by 10+ because once they clean it up they are going to dominate.

[Clippersfan86]

butthurt your boy is exposed? Rudy gay can do everything what does griffin do on defense or even offense

Everything besides pass, rebound or be as efficient as Griffin? I agree.

[fsvr54]

:facepalm

Hawks are better

[Clippersfan86]

Okay these tripping fouls need to be fixed by the league. Tripping over a foot shouldn't be a fu**ing shooting foul.

[brandonislegend]

Everything besides pass, rebound or be as efficient as Griffin? I agree.
a post player more efficient than a wing, who would have thought :roll:

[Clippersfan86]

Hahah refs call a moving screen by CP3? Nice flop.

[kingBynum]

harris fell on his own

[Clippersfan86]

a post player more efficient than a wing, who would have thought :roll:

Explain how Gay is a worse rebounder and passer while you're at it. Hell Griffin is a better scorer too if we go by production over his career.

[demons2005]

Curly and Mo manning the points for their respective teams. I really don't see how Teague gets minutes when they have Harris and LouWill.

[kingBynum]

griffin will never be as good as his rookie season

[Clippersfan86]

griffin will never be as good as his rookie season

His 2nd year was better and it's only his 3rd. Give it time to play out.

[fsvr54]

Curly and Mo manning the points for their respective teams. I really don't see how Teague gets minutes when they have Harris and LouWill.

:biggums:

Teague is better than Harris at this point

[demons2005]

Hahah refs call a moving screen by CP3? Nice flop.
lol :facepalm
He was shoving him for about 3 seconds until the call

[demons2005]

lol Teague... :facepalm

[Clippersfan86]

He grabbed it off the fu**ing rim!

[kNIOKAS]

Griffin in the post:

Tries to dribble > Fails > tries to ram an opponent > not working > tries a spin > double team comes > tries to save the ball, throws it out of bounds.


:lol :lol

[East_Stone_Ya]

jamaal&blake connection:pimp:

[Clutch]

Griffin sucks

[Clippersfan86]

Griffin finally stepped up the last couple games and now he's back to looking confused and scared when he gets the ball. Clippers need a great bigman coach to rip him apart and make him motivated.

[kingBynum]

Griffin in the post:

Tries to dribble > Fails > tries to ram an opponent > not working > tries a spin > double team comes > tries to save the ball, throws it out of bounds.


:lol :lol
:roll: another turnover again, stop going to him

[Clippersfan86]

Beautiful looking shot from BG! All around awesome play.

[kingBynum]

Griffin in the post:

Tries to dribble > Fails > tries to ram an opponent > not working > tries a spin > double team comes > tries to save the ball, throws it out of bounds.


:lol :lol
rinse and repeat

[Clippersfan86]

LMAO Teague flops to the floor! Hawks outflopping Clippers just like all other teams do.

[demons2005]

Paul with the most blatant carry I've ever seen before the jump shot from Griffin

[Clippersfan86]

I'm very confident in a 10+ point win. Clippers can't play any worse and usually come out the second half guns blazing on teams. DJ will be on the floor a lot more obviously, Griffin and CP3 will likely be forced to attack more.

[Clutch]

Griffin in the post:

Tries to dribble > Fails > tries to ram an opponent > not working > tries a spin > double team comes > tries to save the ball, throws it out of bounds.


:lol :lol
this :lol

The worst part is that he loses 15 seconds on all of that so they can't do anything except taking a bad shot.
Isolate CP3,give the ball to DeAndre in the post,even Butler isolation.
It's all better than that. Seriously,his post moves are looking awkward,not working and milking the shot clock.

[kingBynum]

Griffin in the post:

Tries to dribble > Fails > tries to ram an opponent > not working > tries a spin > double team comes > tries to save the ball, throws it out of bounds.


:lol :lol
please make a gif of this and put his shock reaction at the end:oldlol:

[kNIOKAS]

please make a gif of this and put his shock reaction at the end:oldlol:
:lol
Yeah well that is very similar to that Tyson Chandler pokeman sequence that we had. :applause:

[Clippersfan86]

Put Odom in for Butler to match up with Smith until he fouls out. Burn that fat off and Smith's post game will be smothered.

[Clippersfan86]

Poster oop!

[Clippersfan86]

Lol Hawks hitting hella lucky shots. Feel like we are playing the Cavs again where everybody just bombs contested 3's.

[Clippersfan86]

Wow refs blow the call and of course it leads to a wide open 3. Put Barnes and Bledsoe in FFS!!

[kingBynum]

griffin stop holding the ball:oldlol:

[Clutch]

Can the Clippers announcer stop saying BINGO after every three ?

[Clippersfan86]

griffin stop holding the ball:oldlol:

What in the flying fu** was he doing!? Dude had space to shoot or drive.. and he looks left and right 20 times, passes and leads to a rushed shot by Green. The perimeter D is the big issue though obviously. Barnes and Bledsoe should have been in 3 minutes ago.

[kingBynum]

finally griffin, do those play more not always try to overpower

[Clippersfan86]

DJ 7 straight free throws made and Blake shooting 65 percent on year.. not bad.

[kNIOKAS]

Clippers broadcasters making all possible praises they can to make Clippers look somewhat formidable. Yet, it's the god damn Clippers, and some points come out plain ridiculous :lol

[kingBynum]

beautiful move by dj even though he missed

[Clippersfan86]

4 point play and Butler sitting next to Hawks bench players like a fu**ing OG! Damn I didn't expect 11 point quarter by Butler (he will hit free throw).

[demons2005]

How do you pronounce Louis I always thought it was like lewy

[kNIOKAS]

Bingo is bingo. Man.

Clippers are better than the Celtics this year, so the "somewhat formidable" comment is a joke coming from you clown.

[Clippersfan86]

How do you pronounce Louis I always thought it was like lewy

It normally is.

[StroShow4]

Can someoe confirm that I saw DeAndre Jordan get double teamed in the post earlier in the second half?



Progress. :pimp:

[kNIOKAS]

How do you pronounce Louis I always thought it was like lewy
Lou Williams? Like Loul Deng, but Without -L and Deng.

[Clippersfan86]

Will refs ever call a foul for the Clippers?

[Clippersfan86]

32-18 points in the paint Clippers. All they gotta do is defend the damn 3 and they blow Hawks out in 4th!

[demons2005]

Lou Williams? Like Loul Deng, but Without -L and Deng.
The announcer keeps saying "Lewis" which I've never heard anyone call him before I assumed the other pronunciation.

Either way he is much more formidable than Teague don't understand the Hawks coaching staff

Blown out by Heat opening night... only wins being two over Washington by a combined 9 points and a 4 point win over the Bucks for a 3-3 overall record with the weakest schedule in the entire NBA.

Clippers have played one of the toughest schedules in the NBA so far this year and are 4-2 with 9 point wins over Lakers and Grizzlies, 22 point win over Spurs and 13 point win in Portland.

[kingBynum]

kevin love sitting behind cp3

[Clippersfan86]

No 3's!! Shut down the 3 pointer= easy win.

[Clippersfan86]

Hell yea! Bledsoe manhandles yet another PF in the paint... dude is a tank!

[kingBynum]

barnes is a defesive machine

[Clippersfan86]

Refs decide to swallow whistle again on one end, and blow it on other end. If reffing was somewhat balanced would be a 15-18 point lead.

[kingBynum]

And to somebody who said Bledsoe is mini LeBron how about this: Bledsoe: mini Tyreke Evans?

[Clutch]

Game over.

[Clippersfan86]

Just like I said... 10+ point win when Clippers inevitably turn it on. Go back to your holes now shit talkers.

Why bring the starters in at this point? I don't get it.

[IGotACoolStory]

Yeah, he's in ultra douche mode lately. Used to think it was funny, but since he's turned it up a notch, now it's just obnoxious.

Dude STFU already. You were trolling the shit out of the Clippers today now you play peacekeeper? Clippers are better than the Celtics right now so you have no business talking smack in this thread. While your team is struggling to put teams like the Bucks and Wizards away Clippers are blowing good teams out.

Bucks are solid and underrated but are they as good as the Lakers, Spurs, Grizzlies and Hawks?

[DuMa]

dat bench. so exciting. crowd was all over their nuts today more so than the starters

[Clippersfan86]

Pissed off that Clippers should and could easily be 7-0.

[SpecialQue]

Bucks are solid and underrated but are they as good as the Lakers, Spurs, Grizzlies and Hawks?

No, but they're a good team and not as theoretically easy to beat as the Kings, Wizards, Warriors, etc.

[senelcoolidge]

Good win for the Clippers. Clippers bench torched the Hawks bench. Clippers played like shit for 2 1/2 quarters and still won by 13. They played great defense towards the end. Good job after such a horrible start.

[Clippersfan86]

No, but they're a good team and not as theoretically easy to beat as the Kings, Wizards, Warriors, etc.

Oh for sure. Which sadly two of the Boston wins were close games against the Wizards :oldlol: . Not saying Boston isn't a good team but if Celtics fans are in here pissing on the Clippers they need to take a look in the mirror because this season they look like crap compared to the Clips.

[SpecialQue]

Pissed off that Clippers should and could easily be 7-0.

Goddamn, I can't believe how fickle you are with your team. They're easily going to be a top team in the west this season, and there aren't a lot of teams that I see beating them, and you're going to complain about a couple of losses this early in the season? Christ man, give your team some time to iron out the remaining kinks.

[All Net]

Pissed off that Clippers should and could easily be 7-0.

Yeah losses to GS and cavs were shocking...

[Clippersfan86]

Christ man, give your team some time to iron out the remaining kinks.

Not fickle... just not happy that they should of wrapped those up man. It stings bad when you can blow out good teams but lose to teams like that AT HOME. What hurts worse is in both games they had a tie with 90 seconds left and blew it! I'm not criticizing the team, I'm just saying 7-0 would have been amazing.

I'm a perfectionist sometimes. I bet the team thinks the same way though that they can easily be 7-0.

When the Lakers were great they still struggled against teams like the Bobcats. Shit like that happens...great teams will have WTF losses against random teams sometimes.

I understand. I just don't want them to keep up that Lakeresque habit you're talking about where teams like the Bobcats come into Staples and win but then turn around and blow out great teams by 20. Bad habit but they do seem to have learned from it as evidenced in that Portland blowout on the road so I'm not trying to critique them. More just thinking outloud.

I'm wondering if people still want to call the Clippers a pretender and say Grizzlies, Nuggets etc are CLEARLY better.

[TheCalmInsanity]

Clipper fans, please stay humble during wins... The whole reason I'm a Clippers fan and not a Lakers fan is because I hated how the Lakers would talk so much trash after each win and make excuses/get angry/not admit defeat when they lost.

I don't want our fanbase going the same direction, stop acting like we are entitled to all the fans of other teams bowing down to us and praising us. Let the Clippers do the talking and don't worry so much about what other fans say.

That being said, great game Hawks fans, stellar 3 point shooting (although they should try not to rely on it so much) and I was really impressed with the defense the Hawks had early.

[Clippersfan86]

Yea Hawks no doubt had a great game plan ready defensively and for 3 quarters imposed their will defensively.

[fsvr54]

So disappointing.

[Clippersfan86]

So disappointing.

You laughed at me and said "Hawks are better" when I said Clippers will turn it on in 2nd half like always. Oh well GG I won't rub too much salt in your wounds.

[fsvr54]

I just talk trash because I'm such a homer. No need to take it seriously.

[Clippersfan86]

I just talk trash because I'm such a homer. No need to take it seriously.

:cheers: Hawks played great D most of the game though, can't deny that. You guys just need more time to gel and add a piece or two and you'll be just fine contending. Does Smith usually play this well in the post or was it the advantage on size over Butler? He killed Butler in the first half.

[fsvr54]

Smith has been a good post player for the last season maybe two. It's just that he doesn't go there enough.

[Clippersfan86]

Smith has been a good post player for the last season maybe two. It's just that he doesn't go there enough.

Looks a hell of a lot more skilled on the block than Griffin. He seems to know when he's going to attack and do it decisively. Too bad he settles for jumpers more.

[qrich]

Nice win, but should be able to drop more than 89 against this Hawks team. Loved Barnes play as well

True dat.

We have a lot of prove and one of the reasons I became a Clipper fan is I preferred the humble nature and deeper knowledge of the fans I met compare to Laker fans.

[Ol Dirty Bastard]

Clippers bench is a playoff team in the Eastern Conference.

[Fiasco]

I'm a Clippers fan because I love being constantly miserable and disappointed.

[clipps]

This. Once upon a time, the Clippers were the laughingstock of all of sports bar none. Just getting some playoff time was exciting enough. I had to fight tears when the Clippers traded for Chris Paul.

[hawkfan]

The Hawks are too guard heavy and lack another big to be competitive night in and night out.

Joe and Marvin had size at their positions, and guys like Harris and Korver and Morrow are lacking that.

Regardless, we need another big badly.

This is going to be a real long season if we don't trade for one.
