The Clippers flopping was last year.


You barely see us doing it, yea we sell fouls but who doesn't?
Every team flops, the Clippers are certainly no exception, and no, the Clippers don't just barely flop

Flopping has always been a part of the game. Vlade Divac was just a better actor than these current "reality TV" NBA stars
people have always flopped, its just that in recent years people have started to over do it

although miller over did it in the 90s
 
People fail to realize how close the Thunder/Grizzlies series was in 2011. It won't be easy at all for OKC.

Fortunately for OKC, they're playing this game in 2014.

Durant will be the MVP
Russ looks better than ever
Ibaka is much improved offensively

It's no insult to Memphis, I'm looking forward to them giving OKC a great fight.. but yeah.

Real disappointed that the Mavs couldn't close out this game tonight. Liked our chances against the Thunder a whole hell of a lot more than against the Spurs. Oh well. Hoping for the best. I just hope Monta, Dirk, and Calderon all play consistently, but that's asking a lot.

:lol: all of this.
 
I'm really glad that Nets and Bulls will no longer be playing eachother in the first round.

I wanted Memphis to play the Clippers or Spurs, not OKC

Nice to see Ben McLemore end the season nicely, 31-5-5

:pimp: @ Ben finally playing well at the end of the season, he had a good game the other night too.

Kings have so much young talent.

I like to think of myself as an optimist........

but the more I think about it, I don't see how we are getting drastically better next year unless Pete swings for the fences and has another overhaul of the roster while adding another Gay type player at C, PG, or SG; but lets face it, trading for Gay was a pretty damn big gamble and made very little sense for us with how our front office is supposed to be forward thinking, advanced stats type of folk.

DMC+Mclemore+McCallum, Gay?, IT? rookie?

those are solid pieces, but more or less the same as this season's foundation with basically the same exact holes.

Don't get me wrong, I still have the utmost faith in our front office.

But for this team to take a leap forward, Pete is gonna have to pull some miracles out of his ***

and the McRookies are going to have to put in some major work this offseason.
 
Man if the Kings pick up Vonleh/Gordon or if you're really lucky Embiid in the draft it will do a lot to help going forward.

Kings defense was absolutely horrible, especially defending the 3, which is why the Rudy Gay situation worries me. Also you need to improve the 3 point shooting which is where McLemore's development comes in. His shooting was his major selling point besides his athleticism but he was horrible, 37% from the field and 31% from 3 is never going to help you. Luckily he's only 20 and still has beautiful form on his jumper but **** I expected better. If he can get to 40% and Zeke 2.0 can get to around 38% and you get a 6th man who can shoot it you're good. Too bad Jimmer couldn't get minutes with yall because dude shot damn near 50%.

But besides that, you have arguably the most promising young big in the league and a lot of flexibility cap wise with picks.

A lot of "if's" but could be worse.
 
hopefully the kings dont get a top 3 pick to draft embiid

rck's status in the lakers threads are at stake 
 
Bobcats beating the heat? Aren't they 0-19 or 0-16 against the heat in the big three era? Al Jefferson will drop big numbers but the rest of those guys are trash

like i have said before what the kings need is to get a starting C to put cousins as PF , a C with hustle , who can block score second chance points , for example a player like marcin gortat that is free agent this summer . Secondly they need to try and trade isiah thomas now that he is coming from a year with big numbers and can fetch some good deals . Dont get me wrong isiah is fine but he is not a player for a team that wants to compete for the playoffs , he may score 30 points but he also is a big hole for the defence since he is undersized as hell , plus you dont need a PG that averages 20 + pts while you have Cousins/Gay and mclemore . If only you have kept vasquez , didnt trade thornton for crap pieces ( thornton who is amazing as 6th option ) and didnt pick fredette for nothing. With the right moves sacramento can be a hell of a team , good luck in this draft
