Hi, does anyone watch the Clips vs the Spurs in the playoffs?

I sort of followed the Grizzlies vs the Clips and rooted for Memphis. I kind of like the Clips (NOT BLAKE WHINEY GRIFFIN) and off course I hate the Spurs like any rational human being and/or Suns fan.

Still I find myself rooting for Le Big Croissant Diaw in that series. He was good for us. I like all of the ex-Suns players from recent years, well most of them anyhow. Like Joe Johnson, Amaré, Barbosa, The Mighty Thor (Amundsen), Raja Bell, The Dragon Goran Dragic, and somewhat surprising, Boris friggin Diaw playing for the horrible Sterns. I naturally hope the Spurs loose, but they're a good ball club and Pop's a great coach so you've got to give them that.

Any other Diaw fans in here?

Diaw is doing very well for the Spurs. I bet we would have made the playoffs had we picked him up.

He was my favorite player for a few seasons, but boy did he get fat and lazy. I really don't like the way these guys who get bought out can go sign with championship contenders. I think it unfairly affects the competition. I mean it's pretty easy to argue that the reason the San Antonio Spurs are on this amazing run is because Boris Diaw underperformed so badly in Charlotte. I don't think anybody could really argue that they would have a shot to win the championship without him. Seems to me that the player shouldn't be allowed to just sign with whatever team he feels like. I would almost prefer they weren't allowed to play at all for the rest of that season. Perhaps they should have some sort of extension of the waiver where he could get picked up by whichever team was willing to pay the largest part of his buyout.
