Heading out for Game 7 in Phoenix! - Wild Bill around?

ClipJoint · May 22, 2006

I am getting ready to head out to catch a flight to Phoenix for Game 7. Looking forward to an exciting game. :suomi:

Wild Bill...if you are around, hit me up on my yahoo email. It is the same as my username on here at yahoo. I would love to buy you a drink before the game if I have time.

Going solo just for the game and turning right around and coming home so I won't get a chance to hang out in Phoenix. Anyone else in Phoenix that would like to grab a drink before the game, feel free to email me as well. Not sure how many posters are from Phoenix and would be available on such short notice...but the invitation is open for any/all.

Hopefully this won't be the last Clippers game of the season!!! :toast:

I've looked quite a few times bro...just can't do it. I have only played unders in the series and lost both times. There are just too many factors that can easily take the total over again. I just can't find any value on the under.

The Clippers have scored:

123
122
91
114
118
118

These numbers will not change. The Suns have no answer for us offensively. We not only score, we shoot a ridiculously high percentage. These are not difficult shots that will all of the sudden be missed in Game 7.

The 3 games so far in Phoenix were 123, 122, 118. We should get to 110 again without breaking a sweat.

The only thing that dictates whether or not this total goes over or under is whether or not Phoenix is knocking down 3's. That to me is not handicapping...that is a craps shoot. If Phoenix scores 105 (likely), the game goes over.

Just my opinion.

Good luck! :toast:

Thanks man...:toast:

If you like the Clippers to score those types of numbers, you might take a look at their team total. 105 1/2 at pinnacle. Just a heads up in case you hadn't thought of that. I personally think they will have a more difficult time scoring tonight than previous games. Cannot wait to watch these game 7's. Juicing flowing big time and I am only a Pacer fan.

ClipJoint · May 22, 2006

It only has a $500 limit right now...when they raise the limit closer to game time I will hammer it.

BOL to you and your Clippers tonight. Hope the Suns dont get
"too" many home cookin calls in the late part of the game.

If that starts happening, you will see me on the floor with one of the refs in a head lock giving him "noogies".

Thanks bro. Should be an exciting game and atmosphere. :toast:

Have a great time tonight CLIP!!!!

I will be rooting for "Big Balls" Cassell and the rest of the Clippers as well! :dancefool

RobFunk · May 22, 2006

The fact the fav covered yesterday bodes well for the Clips. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Journeyman · May 22, 2006

Good luck pal.

WildBill · May 22, 2006

Sorry CJ, live in Vegas and just got back from a week out of the office so I will have to settle for watching it in HD at home. Besides I am saving up time to get down to PHX for a Finals game

arty:

Anyways best of luck, as I said before can't say I hate you guys, but yeah dammit I want to win. Getting KT back would be huge for us, I think he is exactly what we need to slow Elton down even if it is for just 10 minutes. No one is going to stop him on any team so I just hope he doesn't shoot over 70%.

In any case we have found ways to win in games it looked like we couldn't win so nothing would surprise me tonight. I have a feeling we will find some way to win tonight as well and think despite what people say, we could give SA/Dal a real run for their money with a healthy KT.

I think it was pretty obvious...they were knocking down 3's.

Yep, just horrific defense by the Clippers all night. Cannot believe how easily their will was broken.

The funny thing is...that is Suns basketball. There wasn't too much difference between last night and the other games. The Suns look great when they are making 3's.

We haven't covered Marion on the perimeter the entire series. He just hasn't made anything. Last night, we didn't cover him again and all of the sudden the 3's were falling.

The Suns have had open looks at 3's the entire series. Nothing changed in that regard. But last night they were hitting them.

The terrible defense came on the interior where we normally never give up layups or 2nd chance points. We gave up more easy layups than I have seen all season and can't understand where our rebounding went. It was not fun to watch, that's for sure.

Elton Brand was still the best player on the floor in my opinion. He was amazing as usual. He just didn't get any help. Mobley is a clown that I hope we can find a sucker like Isiah Thomas to take off our hands...Maggette stunk it up in what is likely his last game as a Clipper...Kaman was non existent...Radmanovic didn't get many quality minutes...it was a nightmare.

Like I said, an awesome and exciting season that in a week or two I will look back on and smile...but after watching that game last night, that is a terrible way to end the season as I have a bad taste in my mouth.

:cryingcry

royalfan · May 23, 2006

Yeah Maggette was terrible last night. Just unbelievably stupid plays time and time again. He would be frustrating to have on your team. So streaky and inconsistent. The whole problem, they let Nash become a scorer and a passer. You have to give one or the other but not both. Dunleavy very overrated as a coach. No reason they should have lost this series after watching the two teams go at it for 7 games.

I have said it all season, Dunleavy is VERY overrated. Any coach could win with the talent on this roster. We really are loaded. People finally realize it now that they had a chance to watch some of the games in the playoffs.

Maggette is very streaky. When he is on, he truly is one of the elite scorers in the league. But when he is in a funk, he is a disaster. He forces shots, plays on the perimeter, tries to draw a foul every time without even trying to make shots, he's a walking turnover, etc. BUT, with that being said, he is the perfect compliment to this team. He is the only slasher that gets to the basket when Elton gets double teamed. He is a beast when he is attacking and not settling for jumpers. Someone is going to get an All Star caliber player when he is traded this off season.

My 2 favorite Clippers over the past few seasons have been Maggette and Wilcox. Dunleavy will have ran both of them off.

The only good thing about Dunleavy is his dedication to forcing this team to play defense. We were one of the better defensive teams in the league.

This will be an interesting offseason as Maggette will almost certainly be traded. I hope we take advantage of the ability to sign Kaman to an extension even though he is back regardless. He is a key to the success on defense and rebounding when healthy.

I don't know what will happen with Cassell. I hate to say it, but I hope we let him go and use that money for a quality veteran back up point guard and let Livingston take control of the team. I think he is ready to be a star. The money Cassell is asking for is not worth holding Livingston back and getting an aging guy like Cassell again. He was great this season...but it is time for him to move on. Maybe we can pull a sign and trade.

If we can pull a sign and trade, I am PRAYING we can include Mobley. I can't stomach the thought of him being around another 3 years. Q Ross and Singleton should get ALL of his minutes.

royalfan · May 23, 2006

I agree, it is time to give Livingston the controls. This team is made for the playoffs, that is the great thing about it. Good size at most positions, especially with Livingston causing freakish type mismatches, IF he can polish his offensive skill set over the offeason. It is crucial that they find guys that are decent defenders that can SHOOT the ball at the 2 and 3 spots if they are going to go with Livingston at the one. It will be interesting to see what they do, as they have a real chance to be real good soon.

Suns really needed that 3-4 day rest. Helped out a bunch.
