Kawhi with a terrible shot. No movement at all and he just settled for a contested fadeaway jumper that he's missed 4 times already.

Omg lulzzzzzz

Dumb call. Paul's a first-class flopper.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I just new this great game was gonna come down to a blown call that favored the Clippers.

Yup. He transferred from Wake Forest to Flop Forest.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Do the refs work for State Farm. Because they sure assisted Chris Paul.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Back to square one.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Clippers are gonna get waxed in the next round. Can't have the stripes on their balls all the time.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Quality push off from Paul there too.

 

[bravesnumberone]

The NBA did that one.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

"Inadvertent"

Weak noise at the end there. Pop was livid.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Please. Pop destroy the officials in your post game.

He flopped, but you have to give it to Chris Paul for playing that well down the stretch.

Not sure if they'll be waxed, but I have trouble envisioning them taking more than a game against Houston considering their defense (outside of Jordan).

Yea, Paul really won this game, and pretty much all four in this series: they really sink or swim entirely on him.

Blake Griffin seems like he's probably a cool dude, but—though the stats are there at the end of the night—I never feel like he positively impacts the game as much as he should, or as much as the first-layer numbers would indicate.

Meanwhile: Popovich is so great at holding court in post-game pressers.

"No baloney going on ... except I guess for me fouling Jordan." Calling out his own use of the hack-a strategy.

Now again, I don't follow the NBA as closely as the rest of you guys do, but I've read and heard the talk that this could be the end of the Spurs as they are constructed now. Who could be leaving? Duncan retiring?

They have been saying this for years. Duncan is still great. He will retire when he wants to. It won't be because he can't play.

A little amazing how many forearm push-offs Paul employs, with never a whistle heard for it.
