Will put it on in five/ten minutes to watch the only bit that counts.

By the way, am I the only one who gets stupendously wound up with the rules in the NBA? The rules favour defenders so much, I find it hard to believe that fans actually accept it. I can see why the rules are like that, but it's just so stupd.

If Melo ever got to a finals, do you think he'd be clutch enough to win it?

The NBA is a little like Super League, it doesn't matter how well you play, or who you beat, or how consistently amazing you are, if you don't come through in the clutch, you're forgotten.

Still, I wouldn't swap CP3 for Carmelo

Tight match on now between Clippers + Memphis. MG leading 48-47 midway through the third, getting physical and tetchy now as well. Been a quality series this one.

Can't believe I never checked the Clipper times. I said I'd work 'til half 9, came home to see when they were on and it was finished.

Still, can see them maybe beating the Spurs once, possibly twice, but the Spurs should have enough in the tank to see them off. The Clippers are still reliant on two things: CP3 in the clutch and their shooters being hot. Blake is a good player but they can't really go to any of their bigs down the stretch, they usually cough up turnovers. Mo Williams and CP3 can handle the ball, but they really need a wing player to attack the rim. Young should do it, as should Butler, but they both settle for pull up jumpers.

The Spurs are one of the most complete teams in the league, when they're hot they can beat anybody by 20+ points. If the Clippers are to win, CP3 will have to dominate Tony Parker, and Blake Griffin will have to dominate Tim Duncan.
