So... who's fault was it this time?

The only constant I see on the Clips is that coach...

This video is officially a meme now after what happened last night. The Clippers simply quit. They lived up to NONE of what is in that clip. You could easily put Clippers lowlights from Game 7 after each one of those little quips on that commercial and it would just be comedy. In fact if no one has done that on youtube by now, I'd be very surprised.

It was a combo. Doc deserves the lion share of the blame for sure, he's been there 10 years and hasn't gotten them past the second round ONCE despite having tons of talent to do so.

But Kawhi and Paul George simply quit on the team last night, just like they did at the end of every game of Denver's comeback.

A lot of the credit goes to the Nuggets who played better than I thought they would because I thought Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and Pat Beverly could shut down Murray better than the Jazz could. When it mattered, they couldn't.

IMO. I'm laughing the most at Paul George. The Clippers traded FIVE first round picks for him, and he made 4 field goals in the entire game 7.

This is after last year falling apart in OKC and being a gigantic disappointment there too.

Is he washed up, I don't know, maybe he has another good regular season in him somewhere. But his reputation as a choker in the playoffs is going to stick with him for sometime to come.

Doc and PG are the biggest failures. Doc because the team was unconditioned and mentally unprepared, PG, because WTF was that.

Leonard has been shooting 31% from 3 in his last 28 playoff games. In his first 335 3-point attempts he shot 46%. In his last 175 attempts he is shooting 31%.

Leonard isn't that great of a play maker and teams are now playing him to dribble or pass when he is 20 feet from the basket.

he averaged 5.5 assists these playoffs, i think that's pretty good. certainly he's improved every year and i think its also due to the type of teams that he's been on. he's never been the main ball handler on any of his teams

Lakers vs Nuggets is gonna be a fun af series. Excellent ball movement from both these clubs. I expect this to end in a game 6 or 7. Let's go Lakers!

You know how certain teams just always have certain types of players? Like Oklahoma always has a good running back. I've just assumed Denver has had a lot of athletic wings for the last 10 years, even though I haven't watched them in forever.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

if all this is true... a person like this can be a great mercenary... but they can never be a team leader.

Getting out from under the Derozan contract was the main thing... Kawhi was a bonus. Demar Derozan is the Johnny Damon of the NBA.

PG only slightly under performed his playoff averages in shooting. Outside of the areas of the game measured by counting stats... he played at approximately the level i expected. If anyone is shocked by his performance.. I'm not sure why.

From what I recall of him in the 2016 series against the Raptors, outside of shooting accuracy, he played about the same level as he did for the Clippers this year.

Not that I paid much attention to him before, but this playoff run did a pretty good job of showing why I've always had PG outside the top 5 on my personal "top" lists. Always considered PG a big-fish/small-pond guy, and I'm not sure I was wrong....

Derozan is a horrible defender. just horrible. Every team always tried to put him at the center of whatever gimmick they were running. Lowry made Derozan look better than he was. Lowry makes everyone look better. He made guys like Terrence Ross and Pat Patterson and even Bizmack Biyombo appear viable as starters. Its hilarious that the Magic gave Biyombo that monster deal and then quickly realized they could only play him 15 minutes a game.

As over rated and bad as Derozan is... Lowry is under rated and makes every player around him appear better than they really are.

Fortunately, Ujiri got Popovich to swallow Derozan's poison pill contract

1. Demar - max deal at 5 years/$153 million. I actually do like DeMar and he improves his game each year. But he's not a franchise guy. He's an improved, but still high usage, inefficient shooting guard that can't shoot from range.

I wish Kelian Qatar posted more I far prefer her, so much more insightful and knowledgeable.

without a direct rebuttal to any of the points i've made i'll have to chock this up to a personal insult troll style post.
