Game #15: Toronto Raptors 91 - Los Angeles Clippers 80

[Demographic Shift]

Loud commotion inside the Clipper locker room. Can hear it through the walls.

we took down a well oiled machine. Truly we are contenders

Complain when they lose
Complain when they win...

Sensing a pattern here..

[MixxAOR]

yeah.. they shut him down pretty well....

it ain't like he tweaked his knee against Blazers

[mcHAPPY]

Huh?

You're not paying attention. Today's game was a classic Raps game. That's how they've been playing all year. Ugly but it is what it is.

And for a million time, if you don't like what you're seeing then go cheer for ANOTHER TEAM. You bitching and whining here every fucking game won't change anything.

Paul and griffin had some of their career worst games....lol

You guys.

Doc Rivers is about done I think... he's probably getting fired soon...

[Joey]

One of the worst 2nd halfs in memory ... but also one of the best 1st Halfs in Memory ... what a roller coaster that game was. Each half canceled out to make for a "meh" game. Considering we were missing one of our best players, I'd say this win was a success.

you clearly missed out on the part Scola completely shut down Blake to put his name on the DPOY watchlist.

Despite all the negativity, most people would be happy with 9-6 thru 15 at the season start. Good win.

Because averages would say that 2 of the 9 wins came from beating NYK and the Magic, but those two wins were actually from beating a fully stocked OKC and a sorta short-handed Mavericks-but-still-Dirk-is-playing team

I don't think its fair to simply say the Clippers lost.

The Raps played one of the best 1st halfs we've seen in a long time, and played solid defense throughout that first half as well.
Yes the 2nd was a disaster, but their defense was rabid, and thats just a good team getting their shit together and clamping down on us.

Can we stop taking away from a great defense performance?

13 to and 38% makes any defense look great.

You of all people should know how un-Paul like Paul is playing this season - lol

Rudy Gay Raptors would of lost by 20 after being up 29 though

Can you find anything else to post?

Preferably anything else that is, you know, true?

Clippers have been losing to average at best teams like Portland. They, Rockets and OKC aren't great teams this year and all three have been having defensive issues. Bulls arent Thibs Bulls team either. By the ASG the teams that are actually good this year will be clearer.

Jeez buddy, and you don't think the raps' defensive play had ANYTHING to do with that??

This is a totally different team from last year, our defensive effort has improved beyond bounds.

Right, and we held them to 80 points. Seems to be about right.
You say the bolded as if our defense had nothing to do with it.

The Clippers have a lot of talented pieces besides Griffin and Paul, and I can think of more than a few times in the past where we would have lost that game. The fact that we didn't, is pretty nice. A lot nicer than if we had lost it that's for sure.
