Word on the street says that ....
NBA Rumors @NBARUMORS 12s
Rumor: Iman Shumpert and Tyson Chandler for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan.
That's not happening lol
Now you're talking. Take that deal in a heartbeat.
LOL too good to be true. That'd be amazing. Recent moves prove the Knicks might actually be dumb enough to do it too hahahah
I'm looking at Tyson Chandler's post season stats the last few seasons w/ the Knicks, and I'm not all that impressed. I don't know if he is much of an upgrade over DeAndre Jordan, plus he is older and more injury prone. I don't think I would waste Eric Bledsoe in such a trade, especially since we need E-Bled to help get us a premier SG/SF.
Now if Tyson Chandler can return to his form a couple years ago in the PO w/ the Mavericks, then yeah, but he's not getting any younger, so I'm very doubtful that he will.
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/tyson_cha ... stats.html
I would do this in a heartbeat
The least favorite trade idea that I have seen yet. It would be a slight upgrade at Center, but Bledsoe is way better than Shumpert.
How legit is "@NBARUMORS"? Because I haven't seen any real source tweet anything about this...
Really...? Slight upgrade? Chandler anchored the defense to a championship team 2 years ago and he's only about to hit 31. Duncan and Garnett are 36+. With the right coaching and players, your efficiency will raise and you could possibly stay in the league longer. Rivers knows how to manage vets that are aging. AND Bledsoe is way better than Shumpert? Don't think so. Dude just came off an injury. This season he will be back even stronger and better,
And he is more than worthy to be a starting SG.
I'm all in for this trade. Shumpert is much younger than Afflalo and Reddcm which is a plus as well.
Great trade for both parties involved. Tyson is a bully and Shump is a nice combo guard. Adding that 1st Rd pick would only sweeten the deal.
LOL Chandler is an all star and one of the top 5, if not thee best, defensive players in the NBA. Last season he was the DPY. It would a monster upgrade over Deandre. Bled is a little more valuable than Shump at the moment but that's mainly because he missed a lot of last season with an injury. But he can play 3 positions and is also a dominant wing defender. .402 from 3pt. land last season. He is the definition of 3 and D and is still on a rookie deal.
Knicks would be crazy to do this trade so it probably won't happen but it's pretty much the ideal move we could ever make this off season.
And then he said "great trade for both parties" lol
Don't think this is a real trade but if it is I would do it.Chandler and Shump are great defenders who would fit in well with the team.If this is a serious trade I would do it.Think it benefits both teams.But Chandler is aging and hasn't been that good in the playoffs so I would ask for a 1st or 2nd rounder.
He's also going to be 31 years old and will likely begin to decline soon. DJ has the potential to be every bit the defender that Chandler is and DJ's defensive rating and defensive win shares were actually better than Chandler's was this past season.
Chandler's PER was only a little better than DJ's, as was his total rebound percentage. DJ's steals percentage and blocks percentage were also higher than Chandler's. Chandler is the better player but not by leaps and bounds. The biggest difference is that Chandler can make free throws and stay on the floor longer, but would that be worth more than the games that he will likely miss due to injury?
I would much rather keep DJ and Bledsoe. The difference between Bledsoe and Shumpert is greater than the difference between Chandler and Jordan. If the Knicks throw in something else, then I would considered it, but not as it is. I am betting that this rumor isn't even legit.
Clips are in "WIN NOW" mode. DJ is not a "WIN NOW" mode type big.
They won 56 games with him, and had way below average play out of their 2 position. The Clippers are in a win now mode for the next few years, not just one season in my opinion.
I believe the Clippers are going to add shooters, who can defend at the 2 and 3 positions, because it was the team's biggest weakness.
Chandler is a bit old, Shumpert isn't Mr. healthy and there's no 1st round draft pick coming our way back. No THX
Isn't Chandler 30? His contract expires at 32 or 33, I wouldn't call that old. Why would they send a pick, it's a even talent trade, Bledose is better than Shumpert, Chandler is better than Jordan
Wouldn't be surprised if the Knicks do this at all. Can't be worse than the Bargnani deal....
This is a good deal for the Clippers. Shumpert shot 40% from 3 with Felton as the PG. He can definitely be our 3 and D SG.
Remember guys Doc is our coach now. And he is waay better than woodson or VDN. If were getting chandler, probably were getting the best version of him, skill wise (about health, we dont know actually. And thats the main advantage DJ has over him. He always plays) and will shine again with a serious coach. Shump is a nice addition.
With that being said, the same can said about DJ. "He will improve with a serious coach like Doc", but then again, we arent sure. And we dont have time to waste.
Chandler could be our third star. Still not sure if Blake could be a pick n pop guy.
a 2nd rounder or a pick swap could work, too, if the deal doesnt seem fair to you, guys. Seems pretty fair to me without the picks.
Some of these rumors keep getting dumber and dumber. We went from getting solid all around player like Afflalo and a great up and coming forward in Nicholson to some stupid ideas about getting players, who are rarely healthy or can't defend at all...or all they can do is defend! Like it usually happens, the first idea is always the best and so far:
Afflalo + Nicholson > DeRozan / Chandler + Shumpert / Tony Allen / JJ Reddick, etc.
Chandler was drafted directly out of High School if you don't recall. Being 30 years old means he's had 11+ years of NBA basketball on his body. That's old, especially for a Center.
No mention of CP3 playing with Chandler again?! I'm not siding fornor against this trade... But it is an observation worth noting.
This. We can do better.
Soon to be 31 actually.
Now that we got two shooters they may go back to NY with Crawford/DJ for Shump/Chandler. Shump is probably a better fit on the roster compared to Jamal now that we have Redick and Dudley long term. A young athlete on the wing would be a big help and I still say Tyson Chandler is a monster upgrade over DJ.
Hell No Keep DJ.
How can we trade DJ for Gortat? Pleeease
I guess we can't
I guess some people aren't realizing yet that DJ is staying.
Should have tried to do it as part of the Dudley trade. If we could have done that, I'd be a lot more comfortable with the front court depth. DJ does not fit on this team. We need somebody that is half way reliable.
Doc thinks he does...hmmm.
Part of Doc's original deal was to dump DJ for KG. He's now stuck with him. As someone mentioned before Doc may be acting PC and is too polite to say he wants to dump the lazy slug.
I think DJ will be gone if any slight opportunity presents itself.
I feel that way too. I think the team isn't out of options about trading DJ right now. I am sure the team has faith in DeAndre and with Doc here, maybe he can set DJ back on the right path. Problem with trading DeAndre now is that we just traded Bledsoe, so any deal with DJ would mean bringing a Center back. I can't honestly see why any team would take DJ and send us a Center back, especially one we feel is better than DeAndre. Plus, his contract is horrible.
Only thing I can think of would be for us to send a 1st rounder, more than likely unprotected and DJ for a different Center. We can't send next years pick because teams are not allowed to go without 2 1st round draft picks in consecutive years ( our 2015 first belongs to Boston ). Same goes with 2016. So that would mean a team would have to wait 4 years until the 2017 draft to get the pick we'd send them along with DJ.
Potentially I could see us maybe getting Earl Clark, using him at Center and trading DJ for say a PF for an extra big body. But we'd basically be platooning the C spot and rotating 3 guys in the PF/C spot all year long.
I'd really love DJ to renegotiate the terms of his contract and take a pay cut. If he would take like 2-3 mill less a year, and heck even CP3 should have taken less money along with Blake, we could add more flexibility in who we can go after come free agent time.
That's funny considering that a few teams have tried to trade for him. Do you just make stuff up, throw it at the wall and hope it sticks? LOL
It was also reported that Doc asked Ainge to not take DJ.
You guys crack me up. The guy gets invited to Team USA camp. Greg Popovich speaks very highly of the guy. Doc has said that he wants him and thinks he can be an elite defender, yet he still sucks.
It's time to stop with that crap.
What, now we have to try and read the tea leaves or take what Doc says and play it backwards for the real meaning, lol.
Taking it at face value he was pretty emphatic about what he thought about DJ, so I think there's a 99.98% that he's staying...but yes there is a slight chance he could be gone.
That was Bledsoe, not DJ. Doc wanted Garnett before he committed and DJ was the expendable one knowing we needed Bledsoe just in case CP3 left. Doc was the one who didn't want Bledsoe involved in the trade.
With his physical skill defense should be a no brainer. The concepts aren't rocket science. Barkley said that he got rebounds because he wanted them more than anybody else. To defend you have to want to get good position more than they do. You have to get as physical as ZBo. It's a matter of heart. It's a matter of confidence. As far what Doc says take some of it with a grain of salt. When asked about DJ he has to say something positive even though he may (or may not) wish DJ were never on the squad.
Jim Hill:
Doc we've heard a lot about Jordan's failure to produce in the PO's. Any comment
Doc: I've really been looking forward to coaching him. He will be our defensive anchor" He leaves the studio and thinks "What a lazy MF
Doc: Jim he's the laziest MF Iv'e ever met. Even his own mother says he's lazy"
Which one works?
All depends on your mind set I guess and your mind set is...
LIE long and loud Only a little white lie though. It's all PR. Those don't count.
Remember that his mother said he was so unmotivated that she was going to be his coach over the summer and keep a fire lit under him..
Ok, guess we know where your mind set is. He'll never, never work out for the Clippers and it's hopeless to let Doc even try.
Stomach's full.
We're stuck with him. Time to make some lemonaid out of a lemon. We have no choice but to support him and get behind him as his fans. GO DJ!
If he falls on his butt TRYING to box out, great. If he tries his post move with passion and misses, right on. Keep fu*king trying. Don't give up. If he puts on his game face and doesn't pout, right on. If he picks up fouls out knocking Zbo on his ass great
At this point I would appreciate fire and passion and work ethic. This has been my main beef
There was a little boy who was a real piece of work so for his birthday present they filled his room full of horse s*it. He took a look went in closed the door. Soon his parents heard a racket and there he was digging through all this horse hockey as fast as he could.
"Mom with all this horse sh*t there's got to be a pony here somewhere"
I'll grab a shovel and help you dig
Whether they apply or not to to the story line your tales are quite entertaining Toohip...I applaud your sir.
i can't wait to see how doc responds to seeing zbo choke blake or do any dirty **** like that. I have a feeling doc would tell our boys to hit zbo back
DJ will be better under doc. Just How much. The guy might be our most important player, maybe he will realize that
Tell DJ he has to eat his BBQ dry with sauce on the side until he shapes up. That'll motivate him.
Thanks Tense Appreciated

Astros announce Community Leaders program and explain the structure in left field.
Throughout the homestand you've probably noticed a new structure that went up behind left field at Minute Maid Park.
The Astros have announced a new partnership with Houston-based corporations to build or refurbish youth baseball and softball fields in disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout the city.
The companies that have currently committed to this program are National Oilwell Varco, Halliburton, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Calpine Corporation, Champion Energy Services, Schlumberger and Nabors Industries. The Astros plan to have 12 corporate partners in the Community Leaders Program, which will ultimately contribute $18 million to the City of Houston over the next five years.
To recognize the Community Leaders, the Astros are building a large structure on the left field light tower at Minute Maid Park that is scheduled to be completed by July 20. The pennants currently located on the left field wall will be moved to another location inside the ballpark.
Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane personally developed the plan with Houston Mayor Annise Parker, who has offered the club and its corporate partners many viable options of parks that need refurbishment. Over the last few months, Crane, Mayor Parker and Houston Parks and Recreation Director Joe Turner have visited these neighborhoods and parks to select the best options, which will have the most lasting impact on youth baseball and softball.
The Community Leaders program has offered corporations the opportunity to partner with the Astros and the Astros In Action Foundation to become part of a team that will improve these neighborhoods through the game of baseball.
Community Leaders is a five-year program, which matches the corporation's employees along with wounded veterans as volunteers in the build, refurbishment, and guest services that go along with the plan. Their employees will also volunteer as coaches or mentors at the park, some of which will also be providing wellness and education programs for their patrons.
Crane: "Baseball was very important to my own development. Playing baseball made me a lot more confident and comfortable in my ability to achieve things. I"d like to be able to help more kids get the opportunity I had through baseball."
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig: "I applaud Jim Crane and the Astros for partnering with so many fine local organizations and impacting the future of youth baseball in Houston. The Astros' efforts will help us reach our next generation of leaders, players, coaches and fans. Major League Baseball is a social institution, and I am delighted that the Astros' new Community Leaders Program will help us meet our important social responsibilities in the communities of Houston."
The Astros will break ground on the project this summer and will complete construction of the fields at the start of the 2013 baseball season.
The Citgo sign that used to hang in that area will be moved closer to center field. Citgo and the Astros have renewed their partnership for three years, and a larger sign will go up in the near future.

So, move the pennants, block the train to put up a giant billboard. Really??
Looks like the train will probably never be used again.
So what it boils down to is they are adding more advertising, great.
So we are talking another form of advertising. The program is a great idea, but adding more advertising space is ridiculous. Don't we have more space on the outfield walls or how about all of those empty seats?
Hey. Don't complain. Have you seen the amount of fans in the stands over the past few years? Gotta get money from somewhere because it is not coming from the fans.
True. The last few nights it looked like they had about 1,000 fans in the park. I believe every game of the Padres series was, "Guaranteed Foul Ball Night." If you did not obtain a foul ball during the course of the game it was likely because you weren't ambulatory.
Ripping down our meager collection of 'championship' banners to put up more halliburton and blue cross signs. Oh wait, those were NL banners. What would Crane care about those?
How ugly is that going to be? Sure it's for a good cause but does it have to block the view of the city, the train and the pennants? Might as well get rid of the train, no point now. By the way, who needs that pesky scoreboard in front of the Crawford boxes? That's prime advertising space!
So Crane is going to pinch pennies on getting players yet will sell every inch of space around the field for advertising? Some owners own to have a winning team, other (Pirates…and now the Astros) just own to make money. It should be a fine line of both.
Man – while the motives are great, the implementation of these banners seems pretty dumb to me. Block the view out of the stadium; block the view of the train; move the banners. I agree with the other posters – there has to be a better place for this "advertising". Crane has been doing a great job so far – this might be his first bonehead move.
What about the train? Will we still be able to see it? Will it still run for every Astros home run?
So much for bringing my kids to see the train. I was excited to see the Citgo sign go, but I wish it would go in the dumpster instead of another place in the ballpark. I've liked most all of Crane's decisions so far, but not this one. If I want to see billboards I can drive the freeways.
Great cause, joke of a display. The park is starting to officially look embarrassing.
The Astros: What a train wreck. Lord, where is the bottom?
that's one hell of a structure…. and I feel like there's much better places that couldve gone to.
Too late. Greedy-Crane already took the money bribe for the move to the AL if I am not mistaken.
What an eye sore. I understand the role of advertising in baseball but Minute Maid Park is looking less and less classy. Mr. Crane…get rid of Tal's Hill, the "Eat More Fowl" signs, the sad Landry's video screen that no one looks at and think about moving that advertising to the walls above the nosebleeds or somewhere else. Don't block the view of the skyline.
I'm afraid to see what they'll come up with when it's time for Astros logo/uniform changes that will usher in the AL era.
Speaking of the AL move….Hey Commissioner Selig…didn't know if you were aware of this but the San Diego Padres are trying to find a buyer and they just so happen to be on the West Coast……where the majority of the AL West plays. Why not postpone the new 15 team league structure, wait for the sale to go through and leave Houston alone? It makes much more sense. Then again….your track record has shown little of that.
You can couch as a way to develop ballparks, but this is all about maximizing profits at the expense of the baseball experience and it's pathetic. There's plenty of other spaces at the juicebox where Crane could put up these signs. Instead, he has decided to cover up the one part of the stadium that makes Minute Maid unique.
Great project, not good planning to recognize those involved. No one could come up with ANY other ideas? This monstrosity not only covers the pennants it also blocks out the skyline and does away with one of our most unique features, the moving train. Again, wonderful community project, horrible recognition method!!!
I'm all about helping out but what a monstrosity. Too bad they couldn't have come up with a better placement.
This totally stinks. I guess the train doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the money.
Way to ruin the look of the park! The cause is just. The structure is just stupid.
The CITGO sign over at the left field has been pretty much of an icon here at MMP -Just like Boston's historic Fenway Park. I hope it'll come back and would like to see it all lit up.
What a great thing the Astros and corporate sponsors are doing for the youth of Houston so many more kids will be able to play the great game of baseball and softball. Having played professional baseball myself (one year in the Astro organization) I wouldn't have gotten there without the life lessons the game taught me as a youth. Bet many of the Astro players, CEO's and employees of these companies would tell you the same thing.
Wow and I thought the Marlins new structure was hideous – WE WIN! Sure hope that awful thing doesn't come crashing down onto any fans
Maybe you're not aware but the significance of the train is that the corner of MM Park at Texas & Crawford is built around Union Station, the old original Houston train station, hence the choice for having the train there. It's extremely relevant to Houston's history and a very unique feature of our ballpark. I'll agree the cart full of oranges is a cheesey touch, but the train itself will be sadly missed once this new obstruction is built over it. Horrible, horrible idea!
I hope that train is the next thing gone. Nothing says Astros like a replica coal burning train pulling a boxcar of oranges that look like pumpkins. Fans have been complaining about that train since the Enron Field days, now everyone loves it? These companies that are apart of this new program employ a ton of people, people that may now pay attention to the Astros now that the business they work for are associated with the team. It's something that has to be done to get more attention on the team and more people in the stands.
You couldn't be more wrong. The only way the team will get more attention is if we start winning more games. You could have every business in Houston advertised in Minute Maid Park and it won't get more people in the seats unless we are winning more games. Fact.
You nailed it. Winning solves all problems for any team!!
I also am all for promoting youth baseball, but blocking the view and the trainis horrible, place the advertisements somewhere else!
What a way to ruin the fan experience. It's going to look like a Japanese ballpark (covered in advertisements) with no attractive features (skyline and a train in UNION STATION).
Ridiculous!! I thought the days of selling every inch of advertising space (foul poles) went out with Drayton. The park is losing its classy retro look. First mistake Crane has made since he has taken over. Get rid of train, change uniforms, move to American league but lets build a winner and the fans will bring in the money not the advertising space.
Another huge billboard…how very Houston.
Please don't block the view of our beautiful Skyline! What an eyesore this will be. I can name about 5 other spots this sign could go, or not exist at all. Perhaps place outside Minute Maid Park?!! I'm wondering if Mr. Crane bothered asking the Season Ticket holders or the fans for their thoughts before this decision was made? Perhaps I'll just watch the games at home..ugh really!!
I am utterly sickened by this latest decision to clutter up MM Park and make it look like a box of signs. Since it was initially built the advertisement boards have been accumulating and giving it a very aesthetically displeasing look and this will now be the icing on the cake. I realize you have to have corporate sponsors, but it can be done with class as opposed to shoving it in our faces (literally) and ruining this once beautiful ballpark. There is nothing you can do to sugar coat this under the guise of "charity". It's a horrible decision by Crane and once again he is selling out, just as he did with the purchase of the team by allowing Bud Selig to extort and bribe him with $70M to purchase it by agreeing to move to the AL. This act was criminal. And now once again Mr. Crane in realization that he cannot make money by selling tickets to a cellar dweller team is going to whore out the whole park to advertisers, albeit advertisers for a good cause. Don't get me wrong, I completely support the charity idea behind it, but the recognition with billboards covering the trademark feature of our ballpark will do nothing more than ruin the fan's visual experience and make our park look like a claustrophobic box of signs. Maybe you can move all the NL championship penants inside the visitors team bullpen where no-one can see them anymore since they clearly don't bring you any income.
Can't wait to see your next signature decision when you change the uniforms and destroy one of the few remaining classy images this team had to show for itself.
At the rate you're going you'll basically have to paint the field with advertisements that can be seen on TV coverage because you won't have any fans left in the stands buying tickets to support you.
Bad move Mr. Crane, bad, bad move!
PS – You might want to remember that the train you'll now be covering up has historic significance in Houston with Union Station, the cornerstone of the ballpark.
I think Mr. Crane needs to hire a new public relations firm. The move to the AL, a "fair" AAA team on the field, a GM that thrie to convince the fans that signing high school baseball players is the thing to make the Astros great. Now Crane wants to cover up the beautiful skyline with advertising billboards. A little advice to Mr. Crane, advertise by spending the money on putting a winning team on the field. Quit calling the team a "product". Both Crane and his Gm are staring to look like poor excuses for used car salesmen in powder blue leisure suits.
I was disappointed to see this structure in place when we visited the ballpark over the weekend. Even missing the ads, it blocks the view of the train and the downtown skyline.
Those pennants belong to a long, sad, almost century long association with the NL. Astros fans had best forget that history as they make the Long March to the AL.
Those billboards will make a wonderful back-drop when the Astros play their bitter division rivals the Seattle Mariners.
Nolan Ryan and Bud Selig are happy, that's all that matters.
These giant advertisements are going to define Minute Maid Park. The Citgo sign was bad enough. Nothing like the home town team partnering with a socialist born corporation, at least it was only ugly. This is a monstrosity worse than the foul poles..

Minute Maid Park was a beautiful place for baseball. Why pander to a bunch of corporations who can't donate with grace? It's ruined the train and the spirit of the park. Shame on you.
This is outrageous. You cannot even see the train anymore – what a disgrace.
This new guy seems to have watched the movie Money Ball too many times.
The train is dumb. It has nothing to do with the Astros. Hopefully it will be gone.
HORRIBLE LOOKING! I understand and commend working with the community in every way. That is not the problem. The problem is when you look to left field and see this ugly wall of signs that take away the unique aspect of OUR park and blocks the once great view of downtown. When I go to the games with my kids I get seats with the view towards downtown and a perfect view of the train. My kids love it! Now we have this massive, messy billboard that looks terrible and looks soooo out of place, eyesore etc. It takes away from the design with a open left field wall. Mr Crane please give US OUR ballpark back. Memories have been made with many of our children in the Original design of this park and advertising in this way smells of desperation or worse…. not caring about how the ORIGINAL fans, the ones before you came on board, feel about OUR ballpark. Very very sad money grab.
More stinking ads and a lot of b.s. about 'community organizing' for hood rats. Hey Crane, we're interested in getting a competitive team here again, not selling ads and making the stadium a hangout for Obama loving gangbangers.
Maybe not the most tactful way to express your message, however there's no denying the truth behind it. Crane is whoring out the park to anyone and anything he can. He's creating a trainwreck (pun intended)…!

Francisco tried at 1B
The Reds have tried to move prospect Juan Francisco to positions other than his natural third base spot. First it was left field on March 16 and today in the fifth inning, Francisco appeared at first base for the first time this spring.
Total number of balls hit Francisco's way in the opportunities: zero. He did receive the ball a few times on throws to first.
Francisco, who never played first base in the Minors, is trying to land one of the extra spots on the Reds bench. He was 0-for-2 and struck out in the eighth while swinging way in front of a breaking pitch.
"We're trying to move him around and get him acclimated just in case," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We still have plenty of outfielders here. Until we make a move, we'll see. We're just weighing as many options as we can."
In 18 games, Francisco is batting .300 (12-for-40) with two homers and five RBIs.
*It was a rough day of pitching during an 8-1 loss to the Cubs, which slugged three home runs. Three pitchers trying to nab one of the final bullpen spots particularly stumbled.
*Carlos Fisher started and gave up five hits and three runs in 1 2/3 innings, including Marlon Byrd's two-run shot in the Cubs' first inning. In the seventh, Kip Wells gave up two runs and two hits, hit a batter and walked in a run with the bases loaded. In the eighth, Matt Maloney gave up three hits and three runs, including two homers.
"We got beat up pretty good today," Baker said.
*Justin Lehr had two very strong scoreless innings with no hits, one walk and three strikeouts.
"He looked pretty good. He had them off-speed, showed good control," Baker said.
Lehr's chances of making the rotation are likely kaput and he's still trying to make the bullpen. He hasn't disappointed, however, with a 3.14 ERA in seven games, including one start. He's walked five and struck out five.

Down below, Righthander says :"This team will score runs." Will it? Isn't Phillips batting fourth an admission that nothing's changed since last year's scoring-challenged team? I want, I want I want to be optimistic. Someone tell me what offense the Reds have to help its terrific pitching. (And, isn't Harang's start tonight the most important event of the spring?)

Can't wait. This past week all I've been thinking about is The King in Yellow and god damn Clipper trades.
Not the point. Houston and the Clips play inside-out, so it's to be expected. OKC get more than their fair share considering their shot attempts come mostly from outside players... and they don't get intentionally fouled.
Whatever. We do get to the line more then enough. The reason they don't get intentionally fouled a lot is because their a great FT shooting team.
Our real issues have been our defense, 3 PT shooting and making FT's.
So glad we won!
Great win team needs more wins against good teams to balance out some of the lack luster losses. Dudley needs to be shut down already and Doc needs to mix and match to give better scoring.
Disagree completely. We shoot 3's better than our opponents and even though we could be much better at the line, if we made more FT's our guys wouldn't get intentionally fouled and we wouldn't be top-2 in FTA's, so that negates your whole argument about us getting favored by the refs.
OKC had 12 more FGA's today, Grizzlies had 7 more on Friday. We are top-7 in FG% on both ends. FGA's even = Clippers win. Simple as that.
Offensive rebounds aren't new possessions per say, more like an extended possession. Also we have to take into account that if we shoot more FT's, we aren't getting a FGA recorded, so more FGA for the opponents doesn't always mean they are getting more scoring attempts because ours might have ended in FT's. Of course it might be a little simplistic since we might not shoot better from three against our high level opponents. Remember those numbers are basically against the average opponent.
Tense is correct though, defense, shooting better from 3PT and FT shooting are needed, and you're correct that better defensive rebounding which could be tied in to defense is needed. Just shooting better from 3PT range than the average opponent isn't good enough because then against a better 3PT defense, we probably shoot worse, and a better 3PT shooting team over a couple of games would shoot worse than their average against us, but they might not dip down to what we hold the average team to.
If our opponent goes from 37% average to 35% we defended them better than most, but that's still higher than our average, and if they defend the three well also and hold us to below our average and to something like 33% 3PT shooting over a couple of games, we are now disadvantaged there. Injuries have played a part in the shooting as well as some of our chuckers, so I have faith that it will he better.
We are ranked 26th (34.3) in 3PT shooting not as "good" as last year (35.5). We are ranked 25th in FT%.
Love them both but I think WD is my favorite show on TV (see my siggy)
But 72% FT's = 1.4 points per possession that we're fouled (at least on shot attempts or in the bonus). And we're top of the league in 3pt defense, so although we may be weak at shooting it, "3 for 2" isn't what's hurting us. Giving up more FGA's to even a mediocre FG% team will kill you every time because it puts more pressure on a scrambling defense.
JJ coming back will see our 3pt% increase, because he is the first option for that shot. Our rebounding numbers look middle of the road because we make teams miss their first shot... a lot... but if we keep giving up offensive boards it's all for naught. If we can make teams one-and-done, we can't be stopped.
Everyone should watch banshee. But yes this was an incredible win
I think we score the same amount of three as Thunder if I'm wrong.
The faster pace you play the more FGA's per game you're going to give up...usually. We are ranked 22nd in FGA's per game (84.6), OKC 18th (83.7). We are ranked 16th in opponent FGM per game at 37.6 while OKC is ranked 8th at 36.2. Clippers 8th in pace, OKC 11th. Pace.
In FTA's per FGA's per game we are ranked 2nd (0.367), OKC 10th (0.295). In team FT's attempted per offense play again we are ranked 2nd at 27.3%, OKC (22.0%) ranked 11th (down from last years 24.5%). So I maintain we are at the FT line a lot but don't do well at making them. Getting in the top 15 (+76%) would be great. Maybe next year.
There's a difference between Griffin going to the line 10 times a game and Durant going to the line 10 times a game. The difference is Griffin probably gets fouled 8 times a night with some no calls, Durant probably actually gets fouled twice a night.
Not all fouls are treated equally.
And that's also why LeBron will always be a better basketball player than KD. His game doesn't rely heavily on a man/women in a stripped shirt blowing air through a metal toy.
That's the luxury of being a superstar and Blake is now beginning to see that come to his game. He's been at the FT line more then Durant lately and that should continue in the future. Now when Blake can shooting a +75%, look out. In splits, click on last 2 or 4 weeks.

Last season was crazy I hated the cheating wife. lol
Best show ever.
Wow didn't even realise how early this game was, can't wait to watch it after work
Is it just me or does it seem like the last couple of games (but more today)blake hasn't faced up as much? He seems to try to back down collison a lot and I just think he should have trend around and faced the basket.
It's not just you, but he faceed up quite a bit in this game, OKC just did a good Job of Doubling him once he entered the Paint, but with all that said if you look at his numbers tonight He still was super effective, not his normal effectiveness, but 20 pts on 16 shots 6-15, not to mention 6at. Like if that's a bad game then I'll take it. But It did seem like he's starting to go away from facing up.
Did Blake get his elbow drained? It seemed smaller today. Last time he got it drained he had a couple of bad games instantly after he did it.
JCrossover saved us today. What a game! We don't even need JJ when Crawford is on fire like today.
Problem is he's not always on fire....sometimes just cold water comes out.
The headline:
Clippers outscore them by 8
I have to challenge you here. When is the last time Jcross had a bad game.
He is averaging around 24ppg over the last 20+ games and
since coming out of his slum has had 3 30+ games.
He had a slump earlier in the season where he could hit the side of a barn,
but since he has been balling consistently.
It's not the amount of FGA's we're giving up, per se... it's the ratio to how many we're getting. The FTA/FGA ratio we're getting is relevant, for sure, and yes we should be making more FT's... but I still maintain that 1.4 points on those plays we get fouled is sufficient IF we can maintain our defensive FG% and keep our FGA's even with our opponents.
That would be helped by cleaning our own glass (and limiting TO's, which we're pretty good at) more than any other factor.
Ok, no use beating a dead horse mate...we're both correct in our own way.
His last 9 games he's been very good. His shooting % before that was below average. He's wasn't very efficient in Dec/Jan.
That's not really been the case as a Starter, possibly because he's not "THE" Focus of the defense. Because he's not coming off the bench he can actually exploit allot of bad match-ups, witch he can't do coming off the Bench, because the best defender is always on him and then some, because.... lets face it who else do they really need to guard.
OKC didn't get help by the Refs?
"Paul was tripped" No Call.
"Blake was fouled maybe four times" No Call.
"Crawford got fouled" on a three point miss. No Call.
" I guess the Refs had a better angle than we did" no call.
This it the announcers.
See my link above for starter/reserve splits.
The good thing is we beat them in Oklahoma.
I would have loved to hear Ralph call this game.
Tirico and Hubie know who butters their bread... and you're right, they STILL dared to question.
But spiderboy was playing... don't you just want to suck his c*ck every time he flails in the paint!
Guess it's how you define very good and good. In his career he's been a below average shooter for his position no matter how many minutes he's played and that's a statistical fact. He puts up above average FGA's too to get those points. Again he's never been known for his efficiently.
Anyway he's been doing a "very good" job the last 9 games. Here's hoping he stay's that "good" into the PO's.
I see, I'm not really a stat guy, Not that I don't know them, I just don't live by them. I'm an Eye test guy, and my eye tell's me allot of those stats don't tell weather or not a guy got fouled on the shot and if it wasn't called, nor can it tell you weather the shot clock was running down, or if you took a half court shot to end the Half. Stats don't take everything to account, so I don't really live or care for them.
I know Jamal is a top 25 scorer in the NBA right now, and he wasn't coming into the new year, and that's only on 15 shots. Plus FG% is a great stat but it's not always the best way to tell how effective a player is on Offense, seeing as you can't add FT attempts and FT% to your FG %, if that were a case then Durrant's FG% +FT% vs LBJ's would be something to look into.
Their not mutually exclusive to one or the other, stats and game watching, But what ever suits your mind set...to each his own.
I think they are, watching the game you would have thought we were out rebounded, especially at the Offensive end. But looking at the game Stats we out rebounded them by 7 and grabbed the same amount of offensive rebounds and we went to the FT line 39 times opposed to their 24, but watching the game you wouldn't have thought that. You can't tell how well a player or team played or did in a particular category by looking at the Stat sheet not most of the time.
That's not true. Some of the better advanced stat sites can and do show how well a team or player is preforming particular category's while continuing to improve their models when new and better data comes about. The information coming out about individual players and team play is getting better and better in the last few years and it's only going to get even more detailed in the years to come.
Anyway, as I've said in the past when this eye vs stats discussion comes about...stay with what makes you feel comfortable.
I was supposed to finish with "WIN". Was so pumped that i didn't finish the sentence.
Does anyone know if Davis will be available for tomorrow's game against the Pelicans?
Really unlikely. Maybe against the Rockets.
Are they still going to bring in Ivan Johnson or is that a done deal after they signed Davis?
Every time the clippers are brought up on first take, they always end up talking about the spurs.
Why is espn so biased against is? Yes Westbrook wasn't healthy, but we didn't have redick and Paul is nowhere near full strength.

Couple gets married at Kentucky White Castle
Published 1:13 PM EDT Mar 18, 2013
On Friday, a local couple held their nuptials at a White Castle in Jeffersontown.
Kim and Craig Welby won the unique wedding because of their story.
"It is untraditional and different, and that's something that we wanted. Her parents got engaged quite a few years ago at a White Castle and it just seemed like the right time, right thing to do," said Craig.
"Never in a million years, but my mom and dad got engaged here, so White Castle has always kinda been part of my mom and dad," said Kim.
At the reception, the newlyweds enjoyed sliders, champagne and a cake in the shape of a hamburger.

Now that you have introduced the ZigBee Stack functions well enough ... are there application level programs available for larger network applications where a PC can connect to the Network Coordinator to take data from the network from the coordinator, accumulate and organize and analyze network information as well as being able to know physical location of logical node ...
also for diagnostics (e.g. something similar to CAN_Alyzer if you are familiar with the CAN bus)
Again, since this is a review of the archived presentation, I will / am researching these issues ... but for possible inclusion or mention in future presentations it may help ...
Commissioning, Monitoring and Diagnostics are of interest now that the groundwork has been laid out in the first four presentations. It seems as if some capabilities or features might be difficult apart from the enhancements of ZigBee Pro.
Glad that the lectures can be kept to less than an hour ... and very glad that these are archived lectures -- very helpful to be able to stop, research, review ...
Thak you Charles!
z-wave is very economical and does not require high skill level...
Wow... the original plan was to make this lecture shorter than the previous few... information overload... :)
One more lecture to go in this track...
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Back to the offline lecture...
I also had problems following the lecture. I sometimes got lost with the slides.
I prefer when the speaker clearly indicates which slide is next
I agree Frank, I had trouble following along with the slides as well.
Alot of good information here
had problems following the lecture in the begining
I prefer when the speaker makes comments on the slide number often
Thanks Charles
hello everyone
picking up day 4
Thanks Charles for sharing knowledge
Boy am I ever getting lost, those slide numbers.
I shall study up and make out soon. Rod. R.
Thank you and look forward to more.
Thanks all for attending!!! Your feedback is very helpful! Join us tomorrow as we wrap up this week. Thanks to Rob and Design News and Digi-Key for making these happen. See you tomorrow!!!
Ok, Thanks again.
I will try to cover XBee in modules tomorrow.
I only use the brands I listed simply as one cannot be an expert (and afford tools for) active development in every mfr's chips.
Perhaps my last post was lost in the ether - Atmel would be a fine choice. All have their strengths and weaknesses. Depends on your app
Can I use both XBee Pro900 and XBee Pro Series 2B in the same network?
All nodes on a network stay on one channel at a time
Would you not recomment Atmel ZigBee chips?
I sympathize with the comment that this is too complicated for someone's app - it is in some cases. Over 80% of my designs have NOT been actual ZigBee. about 30% were not even 802.15.4 but used the phy and LL built into the silicon. Example, simple monitoring or control.
Can the endpoints share the same channel?
Anatoliy, you ask a great question. There is no one best answer. I have standardized to one mfr for new designs just to simplify what I have to stay current (and pay to maintain!) Being an old Moto guy, I use Freescale but also work in Microchip, TI, and Renesas. I teach my hands-on classes with Freescale.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
Thank you Charles for good sessions!
The effective throughput through a router or coordinator does depend on the # of nodes. Picture a toll booth - takes longer to get through, even with an EZ-Pass, because everyone has to go through those few lanes
I guess my questions are for Friday: Can we get some insight about Zigbee vendors and their pros and cons? Also would be good to know about testing and debugging tools that associated with vendors or third parties and their pros and cons? What dev kits are recomended to learn Zigbee in more details?
Many nodes and modules can handle lots of great apps. DMX (I love working with that) is one case. voice over 802.15.4, sure. We have streamed low-resolution mp3s. If you have to, you have to. But like was said, you are hauling gravel with a Civic (actually, in my case, in the back of a Jeep Cherokee!)
Thanks for the lecture;
Does it means the throughput of coordinator depend on how many node (endpoint)?
Yes, an end point can be part of multiple profiles. But there are caveats. and tradeoffs.
That was a ton of information. Thanks so much, Charles.
OK! Coffee in hand - First to JSP - the coordinator throughput is much closer to the full 250kbps, but with all of the nodes speaking, a single node may only see 20-30kbps.
Thanks for the info !
thanks Charles and Rob. Enjoyed very much.
Thanks. Got it.
Can we do Voice over ZigBee if the message is very brief -- e.g., "Press OK to start." Or is that best handed off to another device using a switch activation?
78RPM: Voice over ZigBee is a misuse of the technology. Can you haul gravel with a Honda Civic? Yes, but it's not built for that. You'd be better off just using ZigBee to trigger pre-recorded messages that live on the end-node.
Using this hardware.
Thanks Charles, Ron and Digikey Design news!
Thank you all and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks Charles and Rob. Thanks your good info!
Can ypu recommend some RFD device set for me and their website. Thanks a lot.
Thanks all - sorry for running long but there was a LOT to talk about! I will be back in 30 seconds to answer questions!
Thank you! Great information! Another session with examples would be absolutely terrific!
Charles, thank you for today's lecture
Charles, have you had any experience with continual sensor transmission using 15.4 or ZigBee ?
Thank you Charles and Rob.
Thank you all, gentleman.
Thank you!
Thanks Charles, informative presentation.
Thanks. Another interesting lesson.
Thanks Charles & Rob
Thank you Charles.
If ZigBee is too complicated for my product, are there alternative protocols suites for 802.11.4? Are any of these standards?
Thank you
Good info, thanks a lot
Thanks very much Charles & Rob; Excellent info!
Good - thks Charles, Rob & Digi
Texas Instruments
and yes am interested in light connections as well
Microchip chips
We're now on slide 17.
Can we do Voice over ZigBee if the message is very brief, e.g., "Press OK."?
We're now on slide 16.
We're now on slide 15.
Is ZigBee ONLY IPv6? (as opposed ot IPv4)
We're now on slide 14.
(that would be AN xBee...) :)
(Actually, a xBee can do 512 channels of DMX without blinking an eye!)
Good info so far
We're now on slide 13.
sorry, more than one application spec at the same time?
can a network support more than one protocol at the same time?
thank you for a good info
Thanks Charles and Rob.
Yes, I would be very interested in a webinar covering a practical example.
@Rob & @Charles - ZigBee 2 Design Session would make a great addition to the series.
good info
Wow, it would be great to see real examples!
We're now on slide 12.
We're now on slide 11.
We're now on slide 10.
We're now on slide nine.
We're now on slide eight.
Is the co-ordinator aggregate throughput limited to 20-35kbps ?
audio just died here when the other phone rang
We're now on slide seven.
good idea
Can a given end device be a member of 2 different networks at the same time?
If the audio is not working after you refresh your browser, you can play the program back after it's archived. It ill be archived as soon as the audio program is finished.
yes refreshing my browser worked for me
We're now on slide six.
check your web page extention
Plpang -- refreshing your browser might help.
or refresh
log out and log in
I lost my audio too
good information

Hello from US East Coast.
Good morning from SoCal
Audio's up!
@JoeFromOzarks, Yeah, that's the knid of mrning we had here, too.

Where on the East Coast, ggu?
Hey Tom, Any snow today in Belgium?
Hello from Belgium
Cold, no rain in cloudy Binghamton, NY, but chance of snow tomorrow and Saturday. Could get some lake effect snow on Saturday.
So who's getting snow today?
Hi Everyone.
Rich, from what we've seen in the first three shows, this should be another great class.

Fight breaks out after man sentenced for striking, killing child
Christopher Wade, 6, killed April 21
A fight broke out after a Milwaukee man who struck and killed a boy with his car in April was sentenced to one year in prison and one year probation Wednesday morning.
Caution: Video above may contain strong language
Dedrick Ashford, 23, pleaded guilty to striking and killing 6-year-old Christopher Wade on April 21.
The collision occurred near the intersection of 51st Street and Meinecke Avenue.
According to the criminal complaint, Ashford told police he knew he was driving without a license and had smoked marijuana a few hours before he got behind the wheel.
According to WISN 12 News reporter Hillary Mintz, Wade's family was disgusted with the one-year sentence and began screaming and yelling.
The melee spilled into the hallway outside of the courtroom, where several people were eventually arrested, and some were injured. The Sheriff's Department said three people are in custody.
Mintz said a Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy threatened to use his Taser, but did not need to.
One deputy may have been injured, Mintz said.

The theme for the latest Festival of Postcards is Quadrupeds, I searched my postcards for animals, and to be honest most of my postcards are of rural nature, so there was no shortage of four-legged animals to choose from.
In the end I settled on these fine looking animals from Buxted Park in Buxted, East Sussex.
I have not really been able to find out much about these deer beyond what was written on the back of the card. It looks like these may well be chital deer, but I am no expert on deer.
In case you can't make out the handwriting the message reads:
My dear Arthur I thought you would like this card for your book there are no other in England like them they are never hunted I was quite close to them the other day as I often take a walk in the park They belong to Lord Portman and there are about four hundred they are very pretty hope you are quite well from your Aunt Lucy
The card must have been sent in an envelope or delivered by hand, so there is no postmark to help with dating it, and no clues as to who the publisher was either, but I would think it probably dates from the 1920s.
I was walking over at Buxted a couple of months ago, and I didn't see any deer (only sheep). My great-grandmother Minnie HEMSLEY is said to have worked at Buxted Park, in the house which is now a very nice looking hotel.
In case you are wondering what they look like out in the open here is another postcard of the deer out in the park.

The Mizuyama stone is Korin's original line of sharpening stones that gained popularity over the years for its quality. The stone was developed by a natural sharpening stone specialist, Mr. Sugai and his grand master, Mr. Mizuyama, over 5 years ago. The Mizuyama stones are high quality tools that are made for and used by professional sharpeners. These stones absorb water to create a nice slurry of mud that makes the sharpening process easier and faster. Mr. Sugai and his apprentice uses these stones everyday to sharpen and repair knives as well as teach customers proper sharpening methods.

Thunder players are young and long, It's going to be hard on us. Doc is going to have to out coach other coach for us to win. what was our regular season record against them?
Incredible series coming up. The biggest factor in this series may indeed come down to foul trouble. The Clippers would dart out to hot leads against the warriors throughout the course of their first round series only to see these leads dwindle due to foul truble to some of their players, Blake Griffin in particular. The positive about this potential matchup is that the regular season series has not been as emotional as the series against Golden State. These teams do not have the same amount of documented hate for each other, and hopefully the series is played clean and free of fouls.
The shooting prowess of Durant and Westbrook looks unstoppable at times, but the Clippers do boast one the leagues best 3 point defense, so the Thunder will not have as easy a time as some may predict. Also, both the Thunder and Clippers fought a grueling seven game series against lower seeds that held on for dear life. Hopefully, the Clippers can stick to the defensive fundamentals that Doc has been trying to instill.
2-2 with each team winning one game on the road, so on paper the series looks very close. Also, what I like about our first round matchup was that we faced a very hot from beyond the arc team, the Warriors. This should help our team be able to keep up with yet another hot shooting duo, Durant and Westbrook.
One thing I would hope that Doc does early is get the ancillary players involved. We have a huge advantage with Blakes passing ability. His ability to find Deandre Jordan may be one of the keys in overcoming a likely double team in this series. In my opinion Doc has to draw up many plays for Redick, Crawford, and Deandre. They should involve Blake driving to the rim but ending up with an assist to an open player. That way the Thunder pay for double teaming Blake.
#FuckKD #TaskForce #BitchMob #ProtectLilB #THEBASEDGODSCURSE
Should be fun seeing Kevin Durant (regular season MVP) go up against Blake Griffin (Finals MVP)
If the Thunder are going to play Butler at the 2 spot, then JJ is going to run wild! If it's Sefalosha, then I think they place him on CP3, and JJ is going to have to make Westbrook work for it on D. I suspect we'll need great outside shooting to win this one.
Exactly. Hopefully they don't start Sefalosha.
The one thing I like about this matchup is that out SG's will no longer be targeted for mis-matches and posted up as Sefolosha isn't the type of player give those plays to.
Westbrook hasn't done anything super impressive against LAC since last season, okay, and 1/4 games this season, so I'm not worried about him. The more he shoots, the better for us. I think overall good to great defense on the team and not worrying too much about trying to off-set your defense to contain Durant will win us the series. Try to limit his FGA if you can, with those shots going to Westbrook, so play denial basketball. When he gets it, just play solid defense and take what happens.
In our season wins, Durant averaged 37.5 PPG and OKC lost both games by 8 pts. So technically Durant could average 35+ PPG and as long as we keep Westbrook inefficienct and contain enough of the other guys, we have a great chance of winning. We only need it in 3/4 games.
If you look at Westbrook's 11 games vs LAC since Paul has been here, he's shot 40% or lower in 7/11 games and attempted the same or more FG's as he's scored points in 4 of those games. He also turned the ball over 3 or more times in all those games. Another he had 18 FGA for 19 pts and another 20 FGA for 23 pts. The last one he was 3/14 FG but did a great job getting to the line and shot 13/15 FT to make up for it.
Almost all the good games he's had against the Clippers since Paul has been here came last season. Paul missed one of those games. The other one was this season in April. The first 3 games this season he wasn't really good. The Clippers are 5-5 vs OKC when Paul has played since he has been here.
The Thunder are 1-4 in those 11 games when Westbrook shoots under 40% FG. So this is sort of directing where out game plan should be, that is do what you can vs Durant, sometimes he still misses, but keep Westbrook inefficient. Don't let Durant also become a playmaker and get role players easy baskets. If the Clippers can do this, all they will need to do is play adequate offense.
I can't see them starting Butler again. Sefolosha makes too much sense on CP, but Westbrook has a similar characteristic to Harden in that he gets lost on defense, especially off ball. The difference is that even though he is out of position, he puts effort and uses his athletic ability to recover while Harden does matador reach defense or just watches.
So if Westbrook is on Redick, not only do I like the fact that you're making him expend extra energy, I like that it might mean Redick having some nice open looks because Russell gets caught ball watching or just flat out in the wrong position.
Interestingly enough, if I'm Brooks, since CP is on the ball more, I'd rather put Westbrook on him and have Thabo do the off ball stuff on defense.
I expect to see some of this....
and this...
I'm gonna be honest with everyone here, I'm a Clippers fan, LOVE THEM! But I think we lose the series, I don't know if we can do it, I see us winning as a long shot, OKC has the chance to go to the Finals IMO! BUT I WANT US TO FIGHT! If we can beat the Thunder, we can DEFINITELY get to the Finals. They're our measuring stick IMO. Cause they're really REALLY good.
clippers gotta deal with "superstar calls" now. get ready.
and you thought the calls in the first round series were bad...
all I gotta say is this ref was so mad when the clippers were beating the thunder in Oklahoma he call an offensive foul with a few seconds left. I remember Jamal making a three and landing on his face. no foul call? the only reason a player ends up face down without a foul call is if he dives onto the floor for a loose ball (assuming the player doesn't hit anyone else on the way down).
I'm gonna be honest also, that if the Clippers can win the series against OKC they will make it to the western conference finals.
Call me crazy all you want.
i think if we play Granger at SF some with BG at the same time you could get Durant in some pick&rolls with Durant switching to BG and get him in foul trouble
maybe doc was saving granger for this series?
Westbricks better not ts tart shooting like curry all of the sudden
Agreed. The Spurs are looking very beatable, and our defense is real good at stopping the 3, which is a huge component of the Blazers game. This is however, a huge test
The best way to defeat the thunder is to OUTSCORE them..Timberwolves style..lol
I don't know if I'm ready for this. I'm still emotionally exhausted from game 7.
fantastic series, easily the best out of the 2nd rounders, will be nice to catch OKC off guard and steal the first game, LEGO CLIPS!
I'm not worried about Mr Unreliable or Russell Westbrick. Hopefully the Clippers can jump on OKC early and take one in Oklahoma City on Monday.
Really? For me, I'm waaaaay more relaxed for this series than for last series. It's so much easier when nobody's picking us and we're playing with house money.
That's the mindset that got us swept by the Spurs 2 years ago!! We haven't won a 2nd round game since 2006.
The Spurs are a well-oiled machine and we just weren't ready that year. We also had one of the worst coaches ever.
I like our chances now waaaay more than I liked our chances then.
I think the difference in this series is going to be Deandre Jordan. Surprisingly, Deandre Jordan has stepped up his game more than anyone on the team in round 1. He was the one that was most affected by Sterling's comments because he was missing in action for game 4, but for all of our victories, he played a major role. I really think he's playing better every week this season and he is the best he's ever been right now. If Deandre cleans up the glass, then it will open things up for all sorts of opportunities for the Clippers.
would be nice for Granger and/or Big Baby to show up in this series. I have hope..
also the clippers were playing through injuries (that were given to them by the grizzlies nevertheless). the clips did blow out the spurs once this season (so they could look back on that game and have no doubts that they can not only win, but win big). And of course hack a DJ will be in full effect; that (freethrows) should be one of the top two things DJ should work on should the clippers go to the conference finals (if we can get past the "superstar calls" and silly technical fouls when clipper players have a legitimate complaint.
When I'm talking about "superstar calls" I am referring to Lebron and Durant, aka the NBA's "Poster Children" /sarcasm.
click on the first vid and you'll see what I'm talking about (pretty hilarious but for the most part he is right). I don't have 90 posts so I can't post the youtube link. It says miami heat but now this applies to two people on the thunder.
This will be a close one for sure. Yes Westbrook is more athletic, faster, and is talented, but I'm giving this one to CP3. He has a higher IQ, he'll use that to his advantage, be that general on the floor when things are chaotic, and won't get as emotional as Westbrook. He will also get underneath the opponents skin and force mistakes. (even if he's injured). Durant.....well no one can stop Durant except for Durant. All the Clips can do is pester him with Barnes and Granger. theres 32 points that cannot be stopped. BG against Ibaka, this will be interesting. Ibaka honestly will push BG to his limits and defend the rim like it's no ones business. If Blake turns it up another notch then OKC will be in trouble. If he doesn't defend Ibaka well enough and he hits his jumpers then LAC will be in trouble. DJ vs Perkins. If DJ carries over what he brought in the Warriors game then OKC has there hands full. 14 boards and 4 blocks DJ is going to be the clips rim protector. No easy buckets for either sides. This battle goes to DJ. Younger more athletic and more dependable than Perkins. Containing the Clips SG might be a problem for OKC. Redick and Crawford are going to be nightmares for OKC when they get going. Butler will be a problem too if he gets hot. Tough juice is still tough juice and cannot be taken lightly. This series is up in the air, but if I had to choose it'd be the Clips in 6. All games going down the wire. Also I give our coach the advantage.
Aside from Game 7 Westbrook has really looked bad as
a PG.
He doesn't get others involved, and was taking
horrible shots vs Memphis.
He was chucking up a lot of junk in those
games. Especially in the 4th qtr.
remember that game against where he was 3 for 22?! what I would not give for him to do this for the series... In my opinion he isn't a true point guard. The decisions he makes sometimes man...
He sometimes doesn't make the best decisions and can be bull headed, but for all the bad, the good way more than makes up for it. It's funny you say he's looked bad as a PG except for game 7, when in the whole series he's averaging 25 points, 8 assists and 9.7 rebounds. He's had two triple doubles in 7 games. if his shot isn't falling, he makes up for it with rebounds and/or assists. He doesn't always distribute as well as a Chris Paul, but he can do thinks a Chris Paul will never be able to do, so I say that his 8.0 assist per game average so far this series shows his willingness to defer. Either way it'll be another fantastic series. Clippers play more the Thunder style of run and gun ball, so it'll be fun for us too!
We are going to have to be better by 11 points because the hometown/KD referees will give the Thunder a gift of at least ten points. Advantage: OKC.
But Blake is coming home to OKC -- so he will play like a man possessed. Advantage: Clippers.
Looks like a tossup. All Clips have to do is win one at OKC. That is VERY do-able.
Jeez I wish we had another day off, I am still coming down from arguably one of the best games I have ever been to.
IMHO We match up well with these guys as our records show. I am probably hallucinating (Not for the first time either) but seems as though we have a better outcome against them when they are at full strength. For some reason Westbrook plays a lot like KoBRick as far as wanting the ball all the time but that seems to handcuff the rest of their team. He seems to get in their way. I really like our chances, but I see 6 or 7 games out of this one too. If I gambled,barring the "I" word, I could see Clips in 6 or 7.
I want Westbrook to play because he is not a thinking player, he likes to score and rely too much on his size and speed, and CP3 is a thinking pg he does use more of his IQ, and skill, I'm just afraid the Ref to give us a lot of foul in, I wish Bledsoe is still with us.
Clippers need to play Westbrook just like the spurs played Lebron. Go under the screen and force him to shoot outside shots
I know exactly how you feel. Been going to games for decades, and I've never attended such an emotional, satisfying victory as that Game 7. I'm good for a while, I don't even know if I'm gonna catch tonight's game.
Tha's what I mean,they seem worse when at full strength and by that I mean Westbrook playing. As long as he stays healthy we can do this deal.
There was a game once a long time ago against the Phoenix Suns and I recall we were still at the Sports Arena. Game went into double or triple overtime and that one was justt exhausting with all the energy we fans expelled. Same thing for Sat's game. I am just wiped form being there. If I had to be there tonight I would need three or four 5 hour energy drinks backed by a Redbull.
Think Doc should experiment with different SFs to see who gives us the best look on Durant. Reggie and Dudley should get a chance if Barnes and Granger greatly struggle. Going bigger this series wouldn't be bad either on the perimeter.
These guys are more aggressive attackers than splash bros so Barnes and Granger should be looked at against the Jackson-Westbrook-Durant line up
Don't be fooled by those stats.
IF you watched the game he has been chucking crazy shots. His PPG is due to volume scoring not
He is shooting 38% FG and 23% 3pt. Again he is averaging 40mpg with 3 overtime games. Which is
why his assist numbers are at 8 per game. Take out OT and they are more like 5-6 per game.
His rebounding has been monstrous no doubt. But he has been chucking way to many crazy shots
and hogging the ball. Again don't be fooled by 8 assists per game when half of them are just passing
the ball to Durant for a bucket, and its on 40mpg and 3 OT games.
Wow that's a bold prediction considering the next round IS the WCF. lol..
Number one priority is to secure our defensive rebounds. If we can keep FGA's & FTA's relatively even, this series is a toss-up. Give them multiple attempts per possession and we're done.
Another bold prediction, if we win 12 games we'll be NBA champion
I guess there's no more fan viewing party since the sponsored commerce casino pulled out as our sponsor
This is priceless...

Our little laker-turned-warrior troll, vanilla, is now a thunder fan.
"WE are going to beat the Clippers"
True, Westbrook is no stranger to shot chucking and that usually happens when his shot isn't falling. But when it's just him and Durant who typically chuck shots, that's the way it goes. For whatever reason, Westbrook's style has fit the thunder pretty well over the years, has it not? I concede he can be bullheaded and make dumb moves but all the good he does more than makes up for it. Yes okay fair point about his minutes inflating his assists per game stat. Bringing it down to per 36 instead of per 40, his assists go down to 7.2, which is still more than his career average which means he's playing (by average) at his typical career level numbers. So this is pretty much what to expect of Westbrook who is constantly an all star and a few times the #1 all pro pg. Now, if the guy was chucking and shoooting 30% while at the same time not banging on the boards or passing the ball, then we have a problem.

My buying trip earlier this year was one of the best ever, and more fun than ever, finding an extraordinary collection of crystals from around the world. Some of my favourites that are now here – Rainbow Obsidian Hearts, Moroccan Fossils and "Ruby" Spinel formations.
(the comments from "CCO" come from Madonna, our "Crystal Castle Oracle" and resident expert on crystal meanings and metaphysics).
All the best from Naren the Crystal Castle crystal explorer.
Rainbow Obsidian Hearts - these are hand polished in Mexico, in such a way that they reveal gorgeous heart shapes that glimmer with rainbow colours, out of a deep dark centre. They are getting much harder to find, but we got both single hearts, doubles, and even a few triples.
"CCO" ~It is said, Rainbow Obsidian invites illumination, protection and profound healing of the heart and relationships.
Moroccan Fossils - kids just love these, and the big ones are often bought for big (male) kids! From the Sahara Desert in Morocco, when it was an ocean, comes this assortment of orthoceras, goniatite and more, plus little ones made into pendants. I also really like these as they are so inexpensive, from a few dollars each, for something that is (no kidding) over 500 million years old.
"CCO" ~ Fossils are considered to be "The Stone of Transformation" The Mystic Lore of these ancient wonders reminds us to be receptive to change and innovation.
"Ruby" Spinel formations - not really rubies, but commonly called Ruby Spinel due to the incredible sparkling ruby-like crystals, these formations are growing out of a milky white base of calcite. Like nothing I have ever seen before, in 27 years of roaming the world for crystals, I acquired these from a French crystal dealer, who found them in Vietnam over 16 years ago!
They are absolutely stunning, and I know you need a fairly high-end budget for one of these, but they are once-in-a-lifetime pieces.
"CCO" ~ Our Stunning Spinel pieces carry the Mystic Lore of new hope, revitalisation and inner strength.
