Probably the most idiotic thing I’ve seen on this page. Come back when you have facts to support your claim…..oh and come back when the Clippers actually win a ‘ship.

You act like you didn’t see the ass whoopin the Clippers got last Weds and the 4 pt loss back in November. Clippers with an unstoppable offense? If I remember correctly, “Lob City” was shut down for a “Block Party”. Stupid cliches aside, making the “Men vs Boys” comparison doesn’t even count in this instance, considering it took the Clippers two games to figure out how to shut down our star players.

Let this sink in for a moment: Not one lob, which is the highlight of your “unstoppable offense”, was thrown on January 2nd…not one.

CP3 is a huge talent, without a doubt, but at the same time he’s also a huge ego. In a post game interview after the 1/3/13 game, he stated, “I let Stephen have those 25 points in the first half.” Seriously? And it was CP3′s charge in the final seconds of the game back in November that lost it for the Clippers.

Here’s a little tidbit that you may want to take into account: The Warriors and the Clippers have NEVER won the Pacific division. CP3 might want to stop acting like he’s won the Finals too before making such egotistical comments.

Bogut isn’t our only injury. Brandon Rush is also out for the season, and he’s one of our best perimeter shooters and defensive stalwarts. These are quite possibly our two biggest defensive standouts, so don’t try to make the excuse that “our injuries are greater than yours.” When it comes down to it, in three meetings, we’ve still beaten the Clippers twice.

Let this also sink in for a moment: The term is “Granted”, not “grant it”.

Well, apparently CP3 didn’t like the way Warriors celebrated when the Dubs won against them in LA. Then he thought he would get revenge in Oakland only to get their ass punked so handily by the Warriors. He wanted payback, and this is the way for him to show it and Warriors probably got his goat, unintentionally. CP3 should be flattered actually as another poster said, because if the Warriors didn’t celebrate on wins against them, it means Warriors really don’t treat them as a threat. It has nothing to do with Warriors gloating and making them feel like they just got shat on. All teams will celebrate the way Warriors did winning against the hottest team in the league. It’s just human nature. CP3 should know better.

Speak on it baymac408. Clip fans don’t even know what the gettin’ into. Clips won’t be legit until they stop cherry picking on offense & flopping on defense. And I’d rather have a reliable jump shot than a vertical hops any day. What Jordan & Blake gone do when they get a serious knee injury. Like, Sinbad used to say about ‘nique…”Fade!”

Warriors get it in!! Cp3 is a clown for talking at all.. Sucka wasn’t talking in Oakland after they got stomped!!! We will smash the clippers when we meet again!! Everybody is talking but you haven’t even seen bogut yet.. When he’s back it’s really over for the west!! Go WARRIORS and if you ain’t from the bay bounce or get bounced

the Warriors are pretenders. Nothing but a jump shooting team. it looks decieving when they win, and looks like last night when they lose. Clippers are bigger, faster and more talented.

At least the Warriors have actually won a couple of NBA titles and have never been know as the worst franchise in league history.

Hey Cakemixa, get with the times. You’re still living in the past. Are you still following the Lakers and Celtics? What a waste of time! The Clippers and Warriors are a way better product.

I like cp3 but how would he know how to celebrate the nba finals championship……..
does he know those banners at staples belong to Lakers………. cp3 is so silly………

Mark Jackson is doing a great job. He is doing nyc proud.

I like cp3 but how does he know how you behave after winning a championship.
Maybe the Warriors behaved the right way, I didn’t see what they did.
if the Clippers win this year cp3 should know what to do.

oh boy!

Sort of like how Blake Griffin celebrated when the team traded for CP3?

I’m surprised that when he chest bumped DeAndre Jordan after he got the text that he didn’t then proceed to flop and look around for a whistle.

Clips got they a** beat in Oakland & the Nation witnessed it. Blake’s corner side backboard shot was prob the worst, most embarrassing play of the season.

It was inevitable that the Clips would try to clap back on the Dubs or it would mean the sad cellar dwellers that the Clips will always be would expose their true
colors once again.

Can’t wait till CP3 signs with a contender for mucho dinero B**ches!

Knick Nation remembers why Mark was run out of town as a former Knick. He toook himself way too seriously and didn’t have the game to back it up. What’s changed ? You ‘d have to ask his fomer partner/tutor Jeff Van Gundy about that. LOL !

How would Chris Paul know what a NBA championship celebration looks like? He’s only seen one on tv

I live in the Bay Area and am a die-hard Warriors fan but Paul is right.

As much as I love the Warriors, they will get smoked in the playoffs by the Clippers. Steph and David Lee are great but when it becomes a half-court playoff series Paul and Blake will dominate.

The Warriors are a nice team and a great story but heart in a ‘talent’ league will only get you so far – especially in half-court playoff time and the Warriors don’t have the personell to be a great half-court team.

Yeah, and Clip “fans” act like the Clips have won the NBA title already. All this crap about “running Los Angeles” is a joke. Just as big of a joke as the Clips have been for decades. Even if the Clips do win a title this year (they won’t) 1 is not greater than 16.

Mark Jackson has this team rolling and the Warriors believe in him. Whether he cared about the Clippers bench or not he still had to show his team that they were not going to be so disrespected. Chris Paul can say whatever he wants because we still have more game to play vs them. I’d much rather have this rivalry instead of the games I used to go to 10 years ago and when the key player matchups were Eric Piatkowski vs Larry Hughes. Both good players but its nothing like Curry and Paul. Griffin is a beast no doubt but David Lee has the Warriors mentally tough. We won’t allow him to get his flops and dunks in. Lakers and Kings can battle with the Suns but the Clips and Warriors will battle for the top spot in the west. And you may think im crazy but we still have to play 82 games and if Bogut is back we have someone to guard their bigs while still posing as an offensive threat. Just look at the Oakland A’s this year. Took them 162 games to finally come out on top of the AL West.

Apparently, Paul has already forgotten what it is like to be on a young team just putting the pieces together (seeing he spent his early years on a bad Hornets team, you’d think he understood). A young team that got an early season win, on the road, against a title contender. Of course they celebrated the win. Them celebrating is must more justifiable than the way the Clips bench acted yesterday, considering they are a much better team and SHOULD be blowing out the warriors.

I generally like Paul, but this just seems like whining to me

Baymac

I will give you the fact that the Warriors have a young a very talented team. What you saw last night was MEN vs BOYS. The look on their collective faces last night was that of fear, they were man handled period. Between Chauncy & Lamar they have more playoff experience than the entire Warrior team including the coach. We’re still not at full strength, let that sink in for a moment. Grant it Bogut will improve your defense upon his return but no defense can beat an unstoppable offense which is what the Clippers can provide when their focused. This also is in fact the reason why the Clippers sit atop the division and are bouncing back and forth as the best record in the NBA. Let that sink in for a bit as well.

Chris Paul should shut his mouth unless he has the balls to say that in the parking lot… Guaranteed he wouldnt.. Not to mention the clippers acted the same way all game.. We are still up in the series we smashed them last time and they got us this time.. Won’t happen again
