Why Doc Rivers Lost Game 5: Clippers vs Spurs

Coach Nick breaks down this incredible and pivotal game between the Clippers and the Spurs. While the referees made some egregious calls, many against the Clippers, it's the attention to detail that eludes them, and the Spurs have out executed them to a 3-2 lead.

[@hzboi]

Austin Rivers. A D league player that have a couple good games in the NBA.

[@thewarinessexcounty8467]

Power o nepotism

[@thewarinessexcounty8467]

*Of

[@signofthetimes2162]

***** lol

[@DerkuiDerkui]

So what you're saying is Clippers aren't ready to be champions until they are better disciplined. Fair enough.

[@ohmanyourecool1]

Have you seen the way Barnes jumps up and down throwing a fit? Of course they need discipline.

[@ttu0mas96]

ohmanyourecool1 True! And CP3 always seems angry either at the refs or his teammates. Not what an elite point guard should be doing imo.

[@t4d0W]

DerkuiDerkui their entire regular season performance was nothing to write home about, more so in comparison to last year. Nothing about that team dynamically changed. They don't have any wing depth to cover big wing players who can be a problem on the offensive end and they aren't good defending the 3. It doesn't help the Spurs happen to fit that criteria and worst yet if they met the Warriors again in the playoffs this season.

[@aaronwoods7874]

DerkuiDerkui They have a championship team, good sixth man, one of the best point guards in the league, good, athletic center and one of the best forwards, Redick is an elite 3pt shooter, so crawford, and the rest of the teammates do something as well. They need a better coach and they could go easily for a championship, they need a defensive wing like Kawhi tho...

[@MrBrunoTheBest]

The NBA fascism is getting crazy. First the dumb tech on CP3, then Doc fined 25k for criticizing the refs. WTF!

[@ca20mn]

I don't get that tech

[@MrBrunoTheBest]

I think it was interpreted by the ref as angrily thrown. Which is a pretty stupid reason to tech someone. Kinda like Crawford T'ing Duncan for laughing on the bench years ago.

[@bballdragon5]

MrBrunoTheBest As mentioned in the video, it was a culmination of things. It's never a good idea to jaw at the refs all game and then do something like this. I'm sure if the Clippers had kept their cool, the ref wouldn't have thought twice about this play. I also think it's been made pretty clear...and not just with Doc...If you criticize refs, you get fined. Carlisle got fined too. It's best just to keep your cool. Maybe Doc should learn a thing or two from Brad Stevens.

[@MrBrunoTheBest]

If you criticize the ref, you get fined ? It might be clear, but is it fair ? So basically you can't criticize some calls that should be truly criticized ? Okay.

[@YourDamnComputer]

You can't critics the refs. This isn't some plan to keep the clippers down. All the NBA coaches know this and doc knew exactly what was coming.

[@CustomFitted]

Just a comedy of errors from the Clippers... Surprised Pop didn't go to Patty over Tony down the stretch considering Mills has been much more effective than him the majority of this series, maybe he was going for penetration?

[@deebarizo4057]

Creative Patty is better than Tony but not as a point guard. Patty is good as a shooting guard when there is someone to set him up like Manu or Boris. Tony can set him up but the defense would suffer a lot with both of them in the game. Also, Tony is probably better as a defender than Patty. Remember game four. Patty got lit up by Austin freaking Rivers, who is not a good offensive player at all.

[@CustomFitted]

***** yea that was so damn pathetic that patty couldn't hold Austin fucking rivers lol...he's too small

[@randomguy00039]

Creative Parker also has more history of being dependable and clutch as opposed to Mills who while he has had some big moments, does not have the resume to back him up. Parker's experience and veteran savvy are probably higher rated by Pop than Mill's hot streak, especially down the stretch in a close game.

[@CustomFitted]

randomguy000039 That makes sense, just trusting the guy who's been doing it for many years

[@CustomFitted]

Mitchel Woods​ manu has turnover issues tho

[@warrenaugustusdeguzman9278]

Great commentary. You give great insight, always informative. My technical knowledge of basketball improves with every video. Keep it up. :)

[@dunmatta2670]

I read the article on your site about why deandre shouldn't even have been considered in the dpoy award. I've known of his bad defensive IQ and now that it has been on full display, I wonder if some of these clueless voters got a hint now.

[@LokTar_Ogar93]

Harry Mak some people(mostly under age of 19) dont understand being able to block shot and jump dont make you a good defender

[@warblade044]

Harry Mak Not necessarily true. DJ is actually a really good weak side defender who can rotate. He knows the other teams' plays. The problem is the lack of athleticism on the wings. The Clippers wing defense has allowed a lot of dribble penetration. DJ can only rotate so much to cover for the weaknesses of the wings before the the penetrater kicks the ball back out for 3's. Their 3 point defense is terrible compared to last year when they were better able to contain dribble penetration.

[@warblade044]

Harry Mak As far as post defense goes, DJ is one of the worst individual post defenders I have ever seen.

[@bballbreakdown]

Sounds like they did...

[@tomazas08]

Harry Mak Deandre Jordan allways getting owned by top centers...he good at blocking shots and rebounds,his defense sucks,

[@armin38822]

''quotes'' from Manu and Marco were so funny :D

[@dannylin2786]

you should let okc let you as coach

[@Plague_Doc22]

Danny Lin and you should let high school let you back in.

[@dannylin2786]

Plague Doc um what are you even talking about lmao

[@ihavetreefiddy]

Danny Lin made perfect sense to me. You're just either lacking reading comprehension or even just a lack of intelligence.

[@ca20mn]

,

[@ca20mn]

Let okc let him as a coach?

[@yungforensics]

I lol'd at "muchas gracias senor"

[@lich5164four]

It's amazing how some of these NBA players lack discipline and fundamentals.

[@kingsleykpabitey1814]

lich5164four Chris Paul is always 'carrying' the ball all the time and the NBA allows that to happen.He gets found out in international competitions though

[@kendallgreen6832]

+Leo Liu and we are 65/1 in said fiba match ups so who cares

[@tonyjackson3522]

Great breakdown and analysis thanks. I concur on the lapse on attention to fundamentals in the post season. Nothing is more important!

[@kaeleb57]

You're the best coach. Stay with the series please :) the best I tell you.

[@maxwellconolly2497]

one of the best breakdowns in a while! thanks!

[@ZEROSKATER19931]

These videos are awesome theres so much detail going into it Respect

[@bballbreakdown]

Thanks!! #ImIn

[@philiptfwan]

Love the old school background Coach!

[@lovessniping]

There is some serious fundamental problems with just the small things. When you play against a team of great vets with Basketball IQ that's through the roof, the small things matter even more then the big things

[@disguy]

Damn it's no wonder why the Spurs 3's finally started falling. A majority of them were wide open! It's amazing the Clippers got the game so close near the end.

[@DribblackMs]

great breakdown coach. we really appreciate your effort!

[@bakabreath]

Loved this. Why I did not subscribe earlier is beyond me.

[@michaelhorton76]

Really good breakdown of the game.

[@hdtekstil]

At 6:55 Leonard initially tried to post Crawford but CP3 came for help so he isolated the play and tried to make a shot off the dribble. I think he could've made a turnaround jumper while posting up Crawford, would be much easier.

[@christianwhite9583]

Muchas Gracias Senor!

[@DaNinj1995]

Great video coach! Can you make a video about how Billy Donovan might do as the Thunder head coach?

[@nikolchekolev]

No adjustment for the high double screens, has been a little frustrating to me as a Spurs fan. There's no need to guard CP3 that high, and they need to communicate the incoming screens better. As a Spurs I hope not, but as I basketball fan, I hope that Steve Kerr throws this wrinkle into the Warriors offense with Curry on top, if they already haven't. Nice video coach!

[@zkillz288010]

Great video

[@kharathos4121]

It's pretty frustrating for the Clippers. 4 out of their 5 starters are at their athletic and basketball peak. They possess one of the best coaches around in Doc. They have incredible backing from their new ultra rich owner. Their window is closing fast.

[@Tehui1974]

Nice analysis.

[@RossardJames]

Clippers brought this on themselves with the refs. I've never seen a team before so uniformly whiny. They are constantly throwing tantrums and bitching at the refs. And it's not just the players, it extends to Doc and his staff as well. It's ridiculous. Hopefully they keep getting bad calls, they're definitely one of the most unlikable franchises in American sports. And it's always great to see Cliff Paul fail in the playoffs year after year.

[@kingsleykpabitey1814]

RossardJames a team before so uniformly whiny.......lol

[@RossardJames]

kingsley kpabitey I honestly can't think of one. Bitching at the refs seems to be one of the main objectives of the entire Clippers team every night they step onto the court.

[@davclutch4721]

RossardJames lol I see your logic.........hate on the clippers because refs gave them bs calls. Okay. You are truly and insult to basketball buddy. Get a new Hobbie

[@RossardJames]

David A. Wat. Go to bed, you're drunk.

[@happilyevanafter]

no mention of the spurs going to a zone some in the 3rd q? that was big coach! that practically turned the game.

[@KostissP13]

''The basketball gods are angry with the Clippers'' :DD Coach Nick is a Vikings fan!!

[@joshuaschwartz3258]

you definitely need to coach

[@ThaneDukeHeineken]

Dear Patty Mills, As a fellow Australian, I love you and all for representing our country but please stop punishing my Clippers in the playoffs.

[@MrDecember91]

ThaneDukeHeineken He must punish them

[@HealthProductReviews1]

How in the hell does Austin Rivers not box out the shooter on that free throw. Thats elementary school fundamentals

[@mgfneo]

so the 'there you have it sports fans' is back!

[@jeffrey874]

Green actually tried to miss his last free throw on purpose. You can see him aim on the replay. I assume so because with only 4.9 secs left for a scramble for the ball much time would have been wasted, which did happen. Leonard seemingly knew the trajectory of the ball which dictate him not going for the rebound on the left but right. just a thought. look at it again and let me know. If that was planned. it was Pop

[@Readingmakesyoufat]

I lost it when doc said "I don't complain much.." That's all he does wether it be to the refs or his own team. He created a team full of toddlers.

[@ghf9945]

so glad this video is on KZbin. you can see cp3 get away with so much on last 3 LAC possessions. after the 2 misses by Blake and Barnes gets 2 more, you can see Paul holding kawhi's left arm. kawhi gets called for the foul. then the whole goal tend play you can see Paul try to yank kawhi past him as he tries and cuts, but the cheater trips over his teammates shoe. last possession cp3 grabbing green on the rebound preventing him from using both hands. NBA got what they wanted though. better to split the fan base across two states then having SAS vs HOU same reason LAC lost to Houston. GSW vs Houston more lucrative then two Cali teams going at it

[@redsox33]

Thank you so much for this video. Highlights just how undisciplined and low IQ the Clippers are. Once again CP3 and his team chokes in the playoffs.

[@bballbreakdown]

Thx!

[@cjvangin]

BBALLBREAKDOWN i used to be a huge fan of jamal and wanted the lakers to go after him this off season but the more i watch him the more i realize his bbIQ is horrid he plays lazy half heart defend and makes players harder on himself by constently looking for contact. if he would have just shot over duncan at 96-100 he could have cut the lead in half. smh

[@SaSpursFan]

Im a spurs fan. It's not cp3 fault they lost. It's everybody elses

[@cjvangin]

***** your a spurs fan so please be honest and admit if not for the hacka jordan the clippers would have ended in game 5 right?????

[@roxette4905]

Cj Vanginkel clippers outsmarted by spurs again

[@kaeleb57]

In your opinion should Duncan retire, or continue in his awesomeness? :)

[@Plague_Doc22]

kaeleb57 Think it depends on how far they get. Finals= play one more, second round exit =leave.

[@kaeleb57]

That's what I think as well. Thanks for the reply though. He might still go out on top though if they win another finals, just like his mentor, David did

[@ihavetreefiddy]

Plague Doc Hey, what about if they win the finals? Should he push for his 7th? lol

[@Plague_Doc22]

Rhapzodic I think so, because why not...getting 7 is quite insane to think about.

[@ohmanyourecool1]

Must be a reason why the Spurs are pursuing Aldridge. Or perhaps they want to ditch baynes. I think the latter.

[@danimalplanimal]

agreed, I always thought the Clippers were terrible about always just blaming/yelling at the refs. and it really does start with Doc it seems.

[@valeriekaren4595]

Of course the Clippers choke away another crucial game 5 which now makes them 1-7 all time in those big time games. Its funny, its almost apropos now that they will inevitably choke in these moments and they most definitely know it. I posted on the Clippers forums about their game 5 record (a day before this game) and why it would doom them in that game, and within an hour I was banned. I was totally censored for pointing out their game 5 history. Those guys are something else. Sore losers, and they lost anyway. You can try to run or shut people up when pointing out the Clippers flaws, but you cant run from the scoreboard and the stat sheet.

[@aeninon]

Walter Valerie you were banned cause you had a stupid fucking Draymond Green quote and created an account just to troll. Clowns get banned

[@valeriekaren4595]

I didnt troll and I didnt have any Draymon Green quotes or references, why would I? I dont like the guy. Your fanbase are just sore losers. Also I have had an account for over a year and I post on all league forums and my account has been in perfect standing until you sore fans take offense to stats. Nobody has ever had a problem when I comment until I post one time on your forums. Sore, sorry and lousy fans.

[@aeninon]

Walter Valerie sure

[@廖俊翔-e1w]

Should take a look at Boris Diaw's face after that shot lol. The Clippers are fourth quarter choke artists, last year was CP3 and now its Blake and Deandre Brainfart Jordan. Regardless of the bad calls, the Spurs are still the overall better team.

[@laultimalata]

hey what is the book in the background? thanks.

[@Michael-gq9cd]

Why doesn't Patty Mills say "Cheers, mate!"? haha

[@biofreakzor]

Is it a little odd that the score for this game was that EXACT same score from Game 2?

[@hdtekstil]

I really thought Blake would've passes an alley-oop to De Andre Jordan to finish the game off. It would've ended the game really. Goaltending is a stupid move by De Andre but he should've received the ball from Blake at first place.

[@trooperjoe73]

More Clippers being Clippers.

[@NikhilAutar]

Going over the screen at half court stumped me too... CP3 got at least 3 scores/assists out of that. But it's staggering to see the lack of effort on defense especially towards the end of the game shown by the spurs. The refs may have had something to do with it, but when considering all that, the Clips didn't deserve to win really.

[@NikhilAutar]

Nikhil Autar lazy transition defense that is

[@rahowhero]

Spurs will set u up. Deliberately allow certain plays to work with seemingly poor decisions........ till u start relying on it, then at crucial times pull carpet out, and adjust when u least expect it. They are cunning as fox

[@WengfeiLeroy]

One of the biggest things that happened in the game was the Spurs switching to zone. Absolutely froze the Clippers for a good time allowing the Spurs back in the game. Noone talks about it though.

[@NikhilAutar]

The zone was big. As was HackADJ in the 2nd/3rd quarters.

[@BoxingTheologian]

Hind sight is always 20/20

[@moirhapsody]

I think Doc Played Crawford way too long in 4th that actually hurt the team. Spurs wasn't play that well however they kept exploiting Crawford to get buckets. With Crawford stone cold in offensive side, it was unwise to keep him on flood that long in 4th IMO.

[@edismah]

Coach, why so many players and coaches still help 1 pass away? I got in trouble so many times with my coaches when I didn't help 1 pass away. Another thing.. How can somebody like Scott Brooks coach in NBA? There is so much content online about coaching and still some of these coaches in top level league have no idea what they are doing even at things like weak side help.

[@munclesonkey]

The Spurs shot 47% from 3 and the Clippers were 1-14. If the Clippers made even a respectable 30-35% at least from 3 they would have won.

[@reillynelson1616]

Great video and one thing that has continuously stumped me is why Deandre Jordan is such a bad free throw shooter can you explain this a little bit please.

[@bballbreakdown]

He doesn't transfer any energy from his legs, too high release makes it hard to generate power. He should bend his elbow a little more...

[@reillynelson1616]

Thanks coach very interesting

[@ec_lkhaa]

2nd straight year clippers have weird, crucial end game mistakes. Austin Rivers, lowest basketball IQ ever.

[@dominicvl1990]

I just don't like doc rivers. I think he gets too much credit for the one championship "he" brought to boston.

[@Macherjay12]

dominicvl1990 he didnt bring shit... it was a good team with clutch players all around.

[@MoThaX1]

dominicvl1990 he ''brought'' a championship yes... but dont forget he actually lost another one (championship) from the worst lakers of the 00's

[@socccerPlayerz]

the title should have read Why Austin Rivers Lost Game 5?

[@bradynewf96]

Lost a lot of respect for the Spurs after this game. That fouling in the 3rd quarter was not real basketball. I agree the refs need to start making better calls they are supposed to be the best in the world yet they miss obvious calls. Essential game changing calls at that.

[@24Eagle11]

bradynewf96 Were they forcing DJ to shoot free throws?

[@ReCharredSigh]

playing to win does not necessarily mean playing beautiful basketball. not a spurs fan, but if somebody on the opposing team can't shoot a free throw at a decent clip, at the very least consider hacking them.

[@24Eagle11]

Well if they were, it's the players' fault. These guys are supposed to be professionals and they can't shoot free throws? It's ridiculous. Getting paid millions of dollars and can't knock down a wide open 15 footer anyone can make with practice.

[@24Eagle11]

***** I didn't say it was.

[@hdtekstil]

Blake Griffin has a lot of fundamental problems in his game. His athleticism saves him at this age but when he gets older he'll really struggle

[@jegbryrmegikke1]

I know you don't like deandre, or it at least seems so... But if you put your focus on any player he some times makes silly mistakes, to just focus down deandre seems a little biased .. Ginobilli for example makes defensive mistakes as well, don't see you pointing out those :) just feeling he gets more than he deserves of criticism in these videos hehe :)

[@winnumber101]

I like this video, but it does rely on the presupposition that the Clippers are undisciplined and irreverent toward the referees, which is somewhat subjective. It seems as if you almost contend that the Clippers are morally (in a basketball sense, at least) culpable for their misfortune with the refs. Although I don't like the Clippers, I still find it reasonable/fair to hold the referees accountable for their mistakes and expect them to remain impartial regardless of a team's disposition. In short, the Clippers' collective irascibility and poor execution should have no influence on the types of calls that they get in-game.

[@polterghost6268]

Lol they ran the elevator play twice

[@johnglobe1065]

I do not understand the tech on cp3... care to shed some light on it?

[@ihavetreefiddy]

John Globe When he passed the ball to the ref? Before the call, there was already a high tension between the refs and the clippers coaching/players. With tensions that high, there is bound to be some emotional drawbacks and as a result CP3 got a technical. Usually a player would pass the ball to the ref gently, or even with a bounce pass. CP3 (even though I still thought it was a weak ass pass) chucked the ball at the ref, and the ref took that to offense and called him out.

[@ca20mn]

Wtf that is stupid I did not know they can do that I always se player beam the ball at refs and that was soft but he called because they had beef that is very Dumb and unfair if it was any other team or moment it would be fine

[@MrYoumitube]

Rhapzodic CP3 said something like he got for a delay in game. Also the pass maybe a little faster and direct but I don't believe it was forceful to warrant a tech, we don't know if there were words spoken during the play to the ref during the play & the pass which would make more sense.

[@bballbreakdown]

He showed up the ref... And it had to be related to all the other bitching...

[@hyper123100]

BBALLBREAKDOWN did you just swear? lolololol

[@IBMCREW1]

Austin should be in the bench in crunch time

[@puppytigers]

1:38 looked like a possible travel, though it's very close.

[@jin4159]

My lob city is failing mee!! 😰

[@holyaura9317]

Smh it's so sad how patty mills has been playing better than Tony Parker. If the Spurs wanna win another title they need Tony Parker to play fucking basketball

[@signofthetimes2162]

I hope the clips win game 6 so we can watch an intense game 7

[@TheUnnamedFeels]

As bad as the refs were, at least the calls made down the stretch to decide the game were correct. It was basket interference (not Barnes' shot though, that was a blown call, sorry Clippers fans) and Paul had the tech coming. Doc oughta teach his team fundamentals rather than just rely on their athleticism. You win games, but not rings like that.

[@PR0BY717]

brosiv12 clippers are overhyped nothing else.

[@ttu0mas96]

Rivers should STFU on the sidelines. Of course the refs are gonna hate you when you bark at them the whole game. Just silly! And his theatrical reactions to bad calls just make his team lose their focus.

[@akonvict]

Exactly. I hate those comical reactions he always has after a bad call

[@Diego92Souza]

4:17 why is this a "T" now, i never understood this rule...

[@jhdivina]

Diego De Souza as coach said, the clips were complaining the whole game, especially in the 4th.the refs were trying to be patient with them the whole game. it was stupid of paul to throw a bullet pass lite to the ref while all the frustration is in the air.

[@Diego92Souza]

qjdivina so, the T was for being disrespectful ?!

[@jhdivina]

Diego De Souza yes.technical fouls encompasses that

[@jhdivina]

***** they actually have a very difficult and important job.it's stupid of you to say that they are nobodies in the nba.

[@ibrahimobeid3091]

I hate the clippers so much, but I want them to win this series so bad. The spurs are the only thing in the way of my warriors

[@S3KZC]

Honestly Spurs aren't that good right now and are owning clippers kawahi struggled , splitter struggled , Parker struggled , green struggled lol

[@jegbryrmegikke1]

The pass to the ref... Wtf refs

[@des8893]

because Blake Griffin went like 3-16 in the 2nd half?

[@sunnyynnus]

Austin river last play costed the game But its fine he is the coach'a son lol

[@danielmontano9521]

Lol that spanish

[@taylormarkee8019]

Coach it was cause the spurs scored more points

[@Kobe_Bryant247]

Doc cant run offense for shit. Every play its a double screen on top of the key with griffin/jordan then jj redick runs around and cp3 passes to him.

[@BeachPleased]

so youre telling me Spurs survive because Pop had a plain face, plain expression all the game??

[@rossselection1032]

[@thebigwarthog]

Is doc rivers overrated as well? I totally hate the way that doc and his team cry's

[@CustomFitted]

Yup

[@Plague_Doc22]

kaeleb57 Honestly, yes. Won a title with 3 stars and a Rondo who showed up big time. He's a good coach but not top 5 right now.

[@kevinflorian01]

Some give credit to Thibs for making the Boston Celtics defense elite, which was a main reason for their success and championship

[@ohmanyourecool1]

Especially the jumping Barnes. What a child

[@t4d0W]

kaeleb57 IMO I think letting Rivers get TOTAL reign of choosing player personnel may have been risky. His mind for team building is meh, especially when nothing significant has changed from the season before roster wise to what he has now. Espeically nothing that addresses the potential match ups he would face in the playoffs.

[@jeffmorgan7]

TNT, can you please hire this man? I can't take another minute of Kenny, Chuck, and Shaq dispensing such unbelievable stupidity.

[@ReCharredSigh]

chuck can be so old-fashioned in his thinking, I can't stand it; how many times has he said stuff like this: jump shooting teams can't win a championship, analytics can't win championships, point guards should be pass-first, superstars need the ball in their hands during critical moments and everybody should clear out for them, etc

[@imsteezy1]

Shaq is very knowledgeable about the sport, Kenny & Chuck are the ones who are annoying

[@bballbreakdown]

Thanks! I love Shaq, though. And Charles usually makes a good point or two

[@vince3139]

Jeff Morgan Inside the NBA is mostly for entertainment and I enjoy the hell out of it.

[@polterghost6268]

You take that show way to seriously No sane person would look to that show for some deep basketball knowledge. I like them cause they're funny as a unit

[@Titanius67]

Blake Griffin, a 6'10" freak athlete that gets his head over the rim and posterize bigs but doesn't average a block a game, to be exact, 0.5 blocks in the regular season. You gotta be kidding me...

[@ca20mn]

Exactly he needs to be like Sean kemp but better

[@francisteezy]

ca20mn well consider the fact that he has a short wingspan compared to other bigs

[@rahowhero]

Not too hot on boards either for pf.

[@bmsong3]

rahowhero Hard to be "hot on the boards" when your teammate averages 15 rebounds per night. If he doesn't play DeAndre, he could easily get 10 plus rebounds per night.

[@JavachipVMN]

He doesn't have a very long wingspan but he has averaged 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs.

[@SergioFutbolista]

Austin river is really bad at defense. I mean what is he doing I guess he is young n inexperienced lol.

[@ptadisbander7959]

sergiofutbolista lopez Yeah wow, if you are the defender closest to free throw shooter, you box the shooter. That is literally as fundamental as it gets.

[@SergioFutbolista]

Beau Jaco yup plus he leaves danny green wide open like 4 reals u are going to let him shoot a open three. He helps one pass away n he forgets who he is grauding.

[@ohmanyourecool1]

Well yeah daddy's boy can't finish.

Is it too much to ask to get a breakdown of when the Clips win a game? :'(

Coach, always cracks me up when you pull out other languages.

Duncan completely outplayed Blake in the 4th q. of this game. When the possessions mattered the most, Duncan played like a superstar, Griffin played very casual. People keep blaming CP3 and telling nonsense like he never made it to CONF FINALS and blah blah blah but he is the only guy who steps up his game in playoffs for LAC. Take CP3 out of LAC and they won't even make the playoffs. People need to look at Griffin and what he has done since his rookie season. Did he lift this team to another level? Griffin is a casual star in this league, he doesn't have ambition or will to take his team to the finals. Put up 45 and 15 if necessary, do whatever it takes to get a win. No, he doesn't have that mind-set. When he's like that, don't expect anything from LAC. The stars of the team need to push themselves. And a young star like Griffin definitely should. He is playing very casually.

Excelent video, I was tweeting you while watching the game, you are the only one that does this kind of videos. Wanted to see that impressive foot work of CP3 on belinelli again. Thanks coach, a fellow fan from your work.

I really want to see Golden State vs Chicago in the Finals, I feel like that would be so fresh for the NBA. And I honestly wouldn't care who won, I would just really enjoy watching the series.

111-107, like game 2.
