The hype that this matchup had back then was special. And the games were always great. I can't believe it dissipated so quickly. I thought we were going to have a few years of this.

It’s crazy to think the Clippers are still basically playing the same style BBall from this game & doing it right now. It’s just Kawhi & PG going iso, they’re still missing a floor general. They’ll be out in the 2nd rd again if they’re not careful

[@alxx292]

@@kase121 late but rondo wasn’t injured, he was just so unplayable in the playoffs sometimes, his role of the floor general on the team was basically worthless with how bad he was defensively, he would get hunted on defense constantly and he would disrupt the offense and ball movement as well. Ty lue made a good call not giving him many minutes after the mavs series. Also, the clippers do sorta have a floor general, that being John wall. Even then, the clippers don’t really need a floor general at all, kawhi and PG are good enough playmakers by themselves.

[@kase121]

@@alxx292 Hmm, I think u made good points on Rondo I can’t argue really. I disagree on your last point. John Wall is great on the fast break, As he pushes the pace. However, in the half court the Clippers are avg. PG over dribbling at the top of the key has lead to so many turnovers. Also, what offense do they run? They used to run a 5 out the season they shot well from 3. They abandoned that

I love all the hypocrisy of players when they foul then act like they made no contact. As a 20+ year official (amateur) and a risk analyst (profession) I have always wanted to clean all this fake objecting up. My suggestion is; Allow all players to object to any two calls during the game. Play is reviewed and if they are correct, the foul is deleted (corrected). If they are incorrect in their objection you add another foul. So cry babies remove themselves quickly (poor Green and James) wouldn’t make the end of the 1st half. LOL
