I mean, at this point, that's the best Clipper team ever assembled. Daniel Ewing or not, there were a lot of big plays in that series, and to lose to the Phoenix Suns at that time, to that team, that's not a bad thing.

Lights Out Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 One bad call? That's just one in a long series of "what the hell were you thinking" moments from Dunleavy. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I view Dunleavy as an okay head coach, but okay is about it. Adelman would be better, but I rather even give someone like Bryan Shaw a chance before Dunleavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just one in a long series of "what the hell were you thinking" moments from Dunleavy.True, but let's not act like other coaches haven't made questionable decisions throughout their coaching career, because whether you like it or not Lights Out, he did guide your Clippers to their most successful campaign ever. Even Larry Brown couldn't do that.For the record, I too would take Adelman over Dunleavy, while Shaw is an unknown commodity. Regardless of how much Kobe Bryant likes him, he could flame out or have a decent career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 One bad call? That's just one in a long series of "what the hell were you thinking" moments from Dunleavy.You gave us a matchup on a shot which was Daniel Ewing vs. Raja Bell. I assume it was game 4, but even still talking about that specific match-up, on that particular shot, costing the team the series is a farce. Ewing vs. Bell is a "battle of the chumps"; then and now. That was young, tired team basically Cassel and Cutino with experience.Dunleavy is a good coach and a nice man as he used to live in Fort Worth before he took the LAC job. Met him for drinks on more than one occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 In game 4 and game 6, Memphis had poor taste in their game presentation as they played the GAP Band's "You Drop The Bomb on Me" in the 4th quarter in each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really popular song, I like it and I really don't see what's so offensive about it.On the basketball side of things though, I thought Memphis played like a veteran basketball team in game six, not an untesting eight seed. Alot of teams would have just folded after getting down by that much at the half especially after the way they played game five and nobody would have held it against them, but they showed they were better then that and forced the game seven.Its one of those series where its really a shame that somebody has to lose.

WJMorris3 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think the problem with the song might be the events of April 1995. After all, they are playing Oklahoma City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It`s a good song and it works for the situation.Don`t read too much into it. Â JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they are playing Oklahoma City.I'm pretty certain that's not how the song was meant to be taken at all, and I would say the vast majority of people wouldn't have even made that connection unless somebody had said it, and I'll include myself in that as well.People just need to stop trying to connect things that aren't really related to each other. Its a great way of creating a problem out of nothing. Don't think it accomplishes anything more then that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srj34 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 1) It's a cool song.2) The lyric is, "You Dropped a Bomb on Me". Tim McVeigh did not drop a bomb, he planted a bomb.3) The bomb in the song is not a literal bomb.4) Do you expect the bands Anthrax and Katrina & The Waves to change their names?5) I'm 100% sure that LeBron didn't even have developmentally diabled people in mind when he used the R-word.6) I am also 100% sure that Kobe has nothing against gay people.

Drakonius26 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 There was some controversy about this after Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans, and during one of their games in 2005 or 2006 (can't remember) the opposing team played "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by the Scorpions when the Saints had the ball during one of their drives.Is it a little insensitive, yes. Is it morbidly amusing, yes. But is it a big deal, no. America is already too politically correct with the hyphenated-american, how they rename physical or mental disabilities to act like their label for those individuals is more acceptable, and a whole lot more annoying tendencies. Point being, the song isn't in bad taste or should it be considered offensive, due to the fact it's been over 15 years already and it's a damn good song. So there's no reason for Americans in general to act like bigger pussies than they sometimes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I seem to recall the Grizzlies playing the song against the Spurs too. Its got a good beat and its a classic Funk song there is no thought about the OKC. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering that Bell was playing out of his mind in that series.

Hoopskid Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Anybody know when the last time there was 4 new teams in the conference final from the previous season? None of this years team were there last year, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this years team were there last year, if I remember correctly.1977 I believe which featured Portland, LA, Philadelphia and Houston. '76 featured Golden State, Phoenix, Boston and Cleveland. Been a bunch of years such as '96 where three of the four teams were new but that's the last time when all four were new unless I'm mistaken.
