Qs Quote:
Only one team has been able to beat the Clippers this year, and that was Oklahoma City escaping with a 85-83 victory. Since then, the Clippers defense continues to stifle opponents while the offense is starting to come into its own, as shown by three consecutive games in which they scored in the 110s and held opponents to the 80s, including opening up a stunning 48 point lead against a Portland offense that was ranked third in points per game on Wednesday evening.

The Clippers currently rank first in points given up (88.3, second place Utah is at 95.4), first in point differential (+16.8, second place Atlanta is at 9.3), first in opponents field goal percentage (39.6, second place Miami is at 41.1), third in opponents three point per percentage, third in turnovers forced, second in steals, second in turnovers, sixth in assists-per-turnover. The defense has been so stifling, in fact, that the top two 5-man defensive units, to this point has the Clippers starters at the top slot and the second unit (Raymond Felton - Austin Rivers - Jamal Crawford - Wesley Johnson - Marreese Speights) as the second spot.They still struggle on the glass, raking 19th, however.

Russell Westbrook will need to do it all, while the Thunder will hope to contain the Clippers offense and provide enough of a supporting punch to give the Clippers their second loss, at their own hands.


Q's Prediction:
Clippers Win 103-89
Q's Prediction Record: 14-4 (7-1)

[TheCalmInsanity]

Can't wait!!!

[keep-itreal]

Westbrook is gassed.

Will be a blowout

[Sakkreth]

You got starters wrong.

[TommyGriffin]

I'm smelling a monster game from Blake tonight.

[Sakkreth]

I'm smelling a monster game from Blake tonight.

No way.

[hold this L]

Get that W Westbrook, don't let me down fam! :pimp:

[sportjames23]

No way.


Way.

[KiiiiNG]

Westbrook is gassed.

Will be a blowout
Impossible. He's due for a monster game.

I'm calling a 40 point triple double.

[Proctor]

Random guess: Clippers win 111-106.

Westbrook with 36/9/7.

[Smoke117]

Time for the Clips to make a statement with this game...that the loss last week to the Thunder was an anomaly. Another Clips blowout coming up. :applause:

[qrich]

You got starters wrong.

I'm going based off an OKC forum....mb :confusedshrug:

[qrich]

OKC already has 9 points in 3 minutes....guess we need to avoid them come playoffs :facepalm

Luc hitting a 3 is a good sign.

[BigKAT]

Close game.
Questionble calls.

Clippers by 4. :cheers:

[qrich]

When you compare OKC to Portland, there is really no reason why OKC's offense is doing this much better than Portland's. We absolutely shut down Portland, don't think they scored 10 til like the 2 minute mark.

I'm loving how Doc is playing Prince on whoever the best guy is, keeping Paul fresh. This will pay major dividends as Paul won't be as gassed come playoffs, which was a recurring issue.

[imdaman99]

I don't understand how everyone says CP3 is the best 2 way PG in the league when he hasn't even manned up and covered Westbrook much so far this season. I thought a great defender like him would at least try to cover him :confusedshrug:

[qrich]

Offense is back to being dookie, D isn't talking. We need to attack the rim, settling for too many jumpers. Either that or run some motion man

[dabigbaws]

O K C

[dabigbaws]

Great defence.

[qrich]

That was probably one of the three worst quarters we've put together, so many easy looks and second chance points with the offense looking flat like it did for the first 5 games or so. Need to calm the nerves and play Clipper basketball

[SAKOTXA]

Clippers looking like shit again. nice

[qrich]

D's stepping up, the offense needs to get on a roll

[qrich]

There we go

[dabigbaws]

Every player on the clippers flops hard.

[bdreason]

Sloppy game. I still like the Clippers to win this game if it's close at half. Never know with Westbrook though.

[bdreason]

Dipo is a poor decision maker. Shows his hand early as well, which makes him easy to defend in the half court.

[qrich]

OKC shooting 45%....outrebounding. Need to fix those.

Forced 9 turnovers, which is solid, but still absolute crap.

Need to close out on the three and box out.

[theaussieguy]

Westbrook 3/11


lmao

[qrich]

Swapping from the Clips, USA & UCLA game and have to say, our D has really stepped it up.

[Smoke117]

CP3 and Blake just dominating now

[L8krH8tr]

Dam Blakes mom looks like a great grandmother.

[qrich]

**** you Jamal

[BigKAT]

Westbrook is 6/19.

Let that sink in for a moment.

[SAKOTXA]

Mike Smith is such an annoying fakkit. Why is he acting like every player is garbage and can't make an open 3? And if it goes in, it's a fluke.

[qrich]

Westbrook is 6/19.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Prince Luc for DPoY :bowdown:

[SAKOTXA]

Holy shit, what a block by Wes. Oladipo wouldn't have gotten had he just laid it in. :facepalm

[Lebronxrings]

wow okc is loaded.. Looking better without westbrook on the court.

[L8krH8tr]

3's for days for OKC.

[BigKAT]

Close game.
Questionble calls.

Clippers by 4. :cheers:


Seems like I'm on the money this time?

[qrich]

Seems like I'm on the money this time?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day :cheers:

:D

[BigKAT]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day :cheers:

:D

LOL

Brutal man...
Man let's wait and see

[BigKAT]

that jumper tho

[qrich]

Can we just resemble our D from the Portland, Memphis, Detroit and San Antonio games to finish out the game.

Don't even need to score

[BigKAT]

Good job by Deandre not to foul Wb and put a hand on his face on that jumper.

P.S: Hack a jordan is just ruining this game.. meh.

[SAKOTXA]

I thought it wasn't possible for DJ to look more stupid than he actually is, but that haircut does it...

[pedromarinho]

Change the ****ing rules already. Being only in the last 2 minutes is ****ing stupid.

[BigKAT]

man that 3 felt good after those 2 hack-a-jordan.

[qrich]

I thought it wasn't possible for DJ to look more stupid than he actually is, but that haircut does it...

[dabigbaws]

Refs conviently miss Reddick swiping oladipos arm and the intentional foul aye

[BigKAT]

Andre Robertson reminds us all why he is open.

[qrich]

Why is DJ still in?

Doc, you fool.

[SAKOTXA]

Oladipo has been beyond terrible since the first quarter. What is he like 0-13 since then?

[BigKAT]

Why is DJ still in?

Doc, you fool.

dude is 4/4 on the last 2 trips. :applause:

[SAKOTXA]

Right as I type that he makes 2 fts and a three :oldlol:

[wally_world]

If OKC is gonna hack DJ, why not just have all the best offensive players in the game since we aren't gonna play defence anyway?

Why the hell is Roberson still in the game?!

[qrich]

Why is DJ still in?

Doc, you fool.

And he hits 5-6 hue

[BigKAT]

Westbrook turned into the flash on that fastbreak :eek: :eek:

[bdreason]

I don't get Blake sometimes. He'll go several possessions where he doesn't even look at the rim when he touches the ball. He needs to be in attack mode, especially at the end of games. If he catches the ball at the top of the key, and it's 1v1 vs Kanter, he needs to attack the paint or take that wide open jumper.

[qrich]

Only the second time all year a team will eclipse 100.

Wake the fork up D. Man

[SAKOTXA]

Where is CP3 at? Westbrook badly outplaying him again

[Lebronxrings]

is it possible to give westbrook a better team than this? Wow.

[qrich]

That pass :bowdown:

[BigKAT]

dagger

[notatop29pg]

Westbrick should be trying to score there... but wants the Triple Double more.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Christ, these Clippers look awesome

[JebronLames]

Chris Paul

[pedromarinho]

C

P

****ing

3

[qrich]

Paul showing he's still the point god :bowdown:

[Prime_Shaq]

Clippers look good but Blake has to be more aggressive for them to be title contenders.

[Bless Mathews]

My niggah j crossover!!!!

206 legend!!!

[BigKAT]

Clippers look good but Blake has to be more aggressive for them to be title contenders.

Seems like he really fell in love with his dribble of late.
But we also said that about his mid-range jumper and that turned out okay.

[qrich]

Hue, what a bad pass by Russ there.

[BigKAT]

yeah send redick to the line that's a good idea.

oh nvm that's rivers isn't it?

[SAKOTXA]

Westbrook goat, rebounds, scores full court in 4 seconds :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[imdaman99]

Clumsy ass Roberson cannot catch a ball to save his life :oldlol:

[NugzFan]

How is that not offensive on Westbrook?

[qrich]

yeah send redick to the line that's a good idea.

oh nvm that's rivers isn't it?

Hue, glad I'm not the only one who confuses JJ and Austin

[JebronLames]

Hope they take out the golden stacked allstars.

[pedromarinho]

Is Austin Rivers a scrub?

[yeaaaman]

Why is Austin Rivers even in the game :oldlol:

[BigKAT]

Hue, glad I'm not the only one who confuses JJ and Austin

:cheers:

[Prime_Shaq]

Seems like he really fell in love with his dribble of late.
But we also said that about his mid-range jumper and that turned out okay.
Turned out okay but Clippers just look like a different beast when he's relentlessly attacking the rim.

Oh god, Westbrook.

[qrich]

How do you stop someone that pushes you :roll:

Luc still did good to turn around and challenge it tho

[Young X]

Why is Austin in the game? :facepalm

[qrich]

Why is Austin in the game? :facepalm

Defense for offense for Jamal?

Alan should be in though tbh

[Prime_Shaq]

Damn that's usually money for CP3

[BigKAT]

That's OKC's last timeout.

Do or die.

[qrich]

Man, that's the sweet spot, bad time to miss.

Doc better run with a unit of Paul - Alan - Wes - Luc - DJ

[qrich]

Doc goes with the foul, okay.

[qrich]

Have a feeling a choke is incoming

[Young X]

If the Clippers lose this game, I blame Doc 100%. Terrible decision making down the stretch.

[BigKAT]

Crawford was nearly gunned down on that posession.

[BigKAT]

Holy Shit He Missed It

[Smoke117]

LOL Westbrick is an idiot. :roll: What a horrible shot...the Clippers will take that every single time.

[pedromarinho]

That ending was ****ing tense. :D :D :D

[Prime_Shaq]

Ok Westbrook. Ok.

[BigKAT]

Clippers by 2.

I was close, dang.
Called it by 4.

[bdreason]

10 seconds left and that's the shot Westbrook takes? Down only 2, you gotta take it to the paint.

[dazzer87]

not trying to tie it.....Westbrook.......:roll:

[JebronLames]

Westbrook looking like prime ChokeBe with that shot

[imdaman99]

C'mon Westbrook, too much hero ball :lol

[notatop29pg]

Guy can go end to end in 3 secs... pulls up for a 30 footer with 11 on the clock.

[qrich]

Westbrook would've been shooting two if he would've attacked....:roll:

[J Shuttlesworth]

Westbrook should have attacked the rim

[smoove1986]

what a horrible play by westbrook at the end. unbelievable.

[JebronLames]

Clippers by 2.

I was close, dang.
Called it by 4.
Way off.

[Young X]

That's the 3rd time I've seen Westbrook take that exact shot in the exact situation against the Clippers.

[tpols]

damn.. westbrick going retard mode.

[hold this L]

Westbrook being a moron. He's not a good 3P shooter and takes an early 3 when he can easily drive for the OT. :facepalm I was rooting for him to take down the Clippers.

[dazzer87]

Westbrook just dont give a fvk.....:rockon:

[Lebronxrings]

anti-clutch westbrook back at it again. :lol

[Young X]

CP3 with 46 dimes and 3 turnovers in the last 3 games. Point God. Good win for the Clippers.

[qrich]

CP3 with 46 dimes and 3 turnovers in the last 3 games. Point God. Good win for the Clippers.

And those two clutch dimes to DJ and Jamal today :bowdown:

[Smoke117]

That's the 3rd time I've seen Westbrook take that exact shot in the exact situation against the Clippers.

It's time to just accept that he will never change.

[qrich]

Avenging complete :bowdown:

[tpols]

Avenging complete :bowdown:


yea but you guys barely beat a weaker thunder team..

[qrich]

yea but you guys barely beat a weaker thunder team..

True...I guess we should just fully rebuild. It isn't too late to tank it out.

[BigKAT]

True...I guess we should just fully rebuild. It isn't too late to tank it out.

Yeah blow it up man :lol
Think you could get a 1st rounder for Blake?

[qrich]

Yeah blow it up man :lol
Think you could get a 1st rounder for Blake?

Maybe but we'd have to take a bad contract, like a Mozgov back.

[Doranku]

****ing Austin Rivers costing me my bet with those two clanked free throws at the end. :facepalm

Westbrook though :oldlol: Why would he take that shot? You're at home, you've got the ball coming up the court with a full head of steam... DRIVE. JC left the door open by splitting the pair, why not go for the tie at home?

I just don't get it.
