Playoffs - Clippers @ Suns Game 2 Thread 5/10/2006- Yahoo -ESPN previews

question - now I know the entire team is playing like crap - but is Shawn Marion EVER going to show up for a FULL PLAYOFF GAME?

Oh - and Eddie House can leave town now as far as I'm concerned - he's been AWOL since the playoffs started and that ole on the boxout of Cassel which led to a three-point play was one of the most digusting things I've ever seen.

Raja looks REALLY tentative on his shot tonight. TT and Nash only guys who showed up so far.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is gonna be a LOOOOOOOONG series.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Barbs came to play!

 

[az1965]

Eddie House SHOULD NOT be back next season. I'll be really pissed if he is retained.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Ouch, terrible start, but the lead is down to 11.

 

[jbeecham]

Barbosa is getting us back into it. Now let's play some defense and boxout.

 

[Cheesebeef]

******* we dug ourselves a DEEP hole! Gotta be almost perfect from here on out tonight! Come on boys - finish the half strong and it's a whole new ballgame in the second - just cut it to within 10 and you've got a shot.

Oh - and anyone who thinks we can get Barbs back at 5 for 30 or something like that is smoking crack - unfortunately - both he AND Diaw are going to and SHOULD command pretty hefty salaries.

 

[jbeecham]

The Clips have 4-5 guys going for the defensive rebounds and 2-3 going for offensive rebs so they got 50% of their missed shots back for 2nd opportunities. They've had more guys going for offensive rebounds than we have going for defensive.

Before the playoffs there was a slim chance of him signing for that amount (and I mean SLIM). However, with his performance in the playoffs there is no chance of him signing for that amount.

... and now TT is hurt. Just perfect

 

[jbeecham]

Maggette tripped over TT ankle and sprained TT ankle/knee

 

[Cheesebeef]

my god - CAN'T THIS TEAM EVER STAY HEALTHY THROUGHOUT THE PLAYOFFS!

 

[az1965]

Way way too many 2nd chance points

 

[Ryanwb]

elton brand is killing this team with the offensive rebounds

 

[jbeecham]

killing us on offensive rebounds....22 2nd chance points for the Clips

Even when we play good defense and get a block it falls right into Brands hands for a layup

 

[Cheesebeef]

MY GOD MAN - offensive REBOUNDS!

 

[Evil Ash]

22 2nd chance points at with 6 minutes left in the half. Somebody, anybody get a DAMN BOARD

 

[az1965]

F*** F***

2 back to back offensive rebounds and 2nd chance buckets!!!!!

This is just not acceptable....

 

[Ryanwb]

damn you Kurt Thomas..... damn you straight to hell

 

[Cheesebeef]

I'm calling it right now - this game is OVER.

This team is TOO BIG too give a big lead.

Also - again - where the hell is Shawn Marion?

 

[Evil Ash]

As poorly as we've played, its a minor miracle we're only down 14 at this point.

The Clippers are in the penalty, here's a crazy idea ... DRIVE

 

[Cheesebeef]

TT was just an ankle - didn't look too bad - he's got to get back in this game and provide us some beef down low.

 

[az1965]

2nd chance points 22-2 Clips...

You are right, it is a miracle we are even in the game

Why the hell we can't seem to block out????

 

[Cheesebeef]

wow - with as well as Barbs is playing and considering there is very little chance we break the bank on him, Maybe Shawn, Leo and this years 21 is enough to get Garnett and we get to keep the Hawks pick.

 

[jbeecham]

Brand never leaves the damn paint on D
