Thanks for the support; this is the 5-02-15 Full Episode [Playoffs Ep. 12]. GREAT GAME!!! Now CP3 ran through the tape, great Performance by him and the Clippers as a whole, kudos. Anybody who’s had a Hamstring Injury knows it is horrible b/c for 1 it heals slowly and you have to stay off of it in order for it to heal. Any sudden moves too soon can bring it back. Time Marks Below: Popovich Postgame interview: 0:50 and 11:14 Los Angeles Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs Highlights: 3:50 Doc Rivers Postgame interview: 18:08 Tim Duncan Postgame interview: 19:34 Ginobli Interview: 26:12 Bulls vs. Bucks Postgame Report: 17:32 Gone Fishin’ 4: 29:20
Why did the refs interupt the last play of the spurs? That was kinda weird especially when spurs already started to Move a little ...Think thats Why they got the edge in the end. But Maybe thats just a false Interpretation... Anyway. Thx u so much.
***** The last play was going to be tough anyway but I was extremely mad when whoever started the clock early. They probably don't have a job anymore, lol
Best single day of sports action ever, as far as the big events across the board throughout the day. Watching this on TH-cam at the same time as the infamous Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight is being relived right now on ESPN 2.
what a game! I wanted clippers to win. I started to believe when they went to halftime ahead, then after that cp3 big three at the end of 3rd q I was in all the way. couple of 3s by JJ, etc.. during the 4th q there was no doubt in my mind. great series. no fighting, no flopping... far better than the ¨fight of the century¨, that´s for sure.
Analyze Through The Tape!!! -First off I was wrong about the Spurs winning, I’ll “Man Up” as Shaq would say, lol. -Kudos to the Clippers, CP3 gets so much respect from me, he was the deciding factor in this game along with Matt Barnes and JJ Redick. -This game was 100 times entertaining than the Floyd/Pac fight. -Honestly this whole gamed it seemed the clippers were going to win but to me I felt like it was over on that 3 pointer at the end o the 3rd by CP3. That 3 was a preview of what was to come in the 4th quarter. -Tim Duncan did everything he could possibly do, old man river walk did great. Also Danny Green played great defense this game. - I still whole heartedly believe the Clippers will never win a championship with this team and it is because the ball is in CP3’s hand way too much, they have never tried to develop Jordan into an offensive post presence, even though he works on his post moves. I remember 3 years ago, Blake was hurt for 2 games and they had no choice but to go to DJ. The result was 15+ pts. and 10+ rebounds at the end of the first half of each game (MOST OF HIS SCORING WERE FROM POST MOVES NOT DUNKS). -They also have no back up big men and they have never had a starting 2 guard and small forward. Like Kenny said, if you move JJ and Barnes to the bench and get a legit starter at the 2 and 3 position, then the Clips will be a problem. -Last but not least: Why do these reporters ask the dumbest questions? Why ask “What was the emotion in the locker room after a loss?” Fans of the Spurs are obviously already upset/sad/mad and so is the team, who are you asking that question for? C’mon, you go to school for journalism/communications/radio or whatever and that’s the best you can do? I see why players/Coaches hate answering questions.
Run Through The Tape man, i really tought the spurs had an edge, but here is where you see Leonard is not ready to be the man in San Antonio, sure Leoanrd had great numbers, but they were not enough, and you got 8 pts from ginobilli and 10 pts from parker in the series, and still the Spurs had a great chance to win it, injured PArker and Ginobilli, maybe the end for manu, but the spurs should have won this series, and the clippers barely edge it, i think they wont be able to stop Harden and Howard, Rockets in 6, and yeah the most of the reporters are dumb and ignorants,
Run Through The Tape As always, homie. Thanks so much for the upload. So awesome reliving this during my lunch break... Like you, I called the Spurs winning as well. BUT I always maintained that it was going to be a COMPETITIVE series. My mind said Spurs... but my heart said Clips, cuz in all honesty, I like CP3; I like Blake; I like DJ... I wanna see 'em advance and succeed.... So it definitely was a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong. When CP went down with the hammy, I was like "Oh no... " I didn't help that they kept cutting back to, or replaying the shot of him on the bench, head in his palms.... Then you see him walking back to the locker room. The dude may have walked back to the locker room.... but he fucking RAN THROUGH THE TAPE. Fucking compelling performance. And outta nowhere, you got JJ and Matt Barnes (side-note: was it not sweet to see Barnes greet those kids after the game, victorious?).... I agree though, while this was a battle, I truly don't see the Clippers advancing past the conference finals at best, with the way the line-ups and the teams are set-up now. The big guns are playing long minutes, and you see them all gassed... It's no secret the bench is just hella slim. I hate looking to the future, especially after such a gruelling first-round series, but it's still the truth. All in all, fucking AWESOME night of round-ball...... and no, it didn't cost me $100.... unlike the snooze-fest that was Pacman/Money.
Run Through The Tape and y'know what? eff all y'all... I admit i teared up a lil bit seeing an emotional CP3 and Timmy greeting each other after the game was over.
Thanks much for posting these episodes of Inside the NBA (ITN), it's a very welcome service--at least by me! A slight shame that Charles Barkley wasn't present for this episode of ITN, his commentary would have been much preferable over the inane comments by Nate Robinson.
Clippers vs Spurs one of the greatest nba playoffs game series in nba history. Clippers vs GSW in the WCF. I like harden but they can't beat the mental toughness of clippers. GSW showed how mentally tough they are on the first round so GSW will still be the Conference champion though it will be a very exciting game just like last season. Both teams hate each other and will show no mercy at each other. GSW vs Bulls to the finals. GSW will win and be the nba champ.
As always, thanks for the upload! Really thought the Spurs would pull this one out. Would have been amazing if that final play had worked. Neither team is mine, but both had great outings. I will say that the Spurs probably had the best chance of pushing the Warriors to 6-7 games. Also, CP3's performance reminded me of Zeke on one leg! I don't think any of the teams that are currently left in the west can do so (Grizzlies need Conley for that to happen); but as great as these playoffs have been, nothing would surprise me (correction...nothing short of the Rockets winning the West would surprise me...they are my WC team, but I still don't see it). As for EC...really hoping to see ATL vs CHI
that was before they thought clippers couldnt be consistent, now I think people can see that clippers are a scary team. With Blake Griffin getting even better, Chris Paul coming back and if their role players can hit big shots they can go all the way
Clippers + lance a make em dance + the truth + j smooth + cole aldrich Spurs + la + d west + jimmer fredette Rockets + lawson warriors x curry westbook x durant + Oklahoma Memphis + conley's eye Sacramento + rondo? anthony davis + new Orleans?

My spurs lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but honestly i`m glad it was the clippers and Doc Rivers beating my spurs. They beat them with real basketball plays and mental toughness, not of that cheesy 3s the golden state warriors rely on. I wish the clippers luck and i hope they make it to the finals. If they gave my Spurs hell i`m more than sure they have what it takes to win it all this year. Clippers Vs Bulls would be a hell of a finals.
I have a super fan question for ya... Do you remember an episode where the guys were talking about the triangle offense experiment in New York? Charles Barkley then talked about how its not going to work unless you have good players like MJ, Scottie, Shaq, or Kobe. He goes on to say this: "You can run a triangle, they can play a zone, they could run a 212 half court...blibloo. This team stinks! This team is awful!" Lol I know this is a ridiculous question but do you happen to know which episode that was from? I know it was during a Sprint Halftime Report. I would really like to see that again. I know this is essentially a lost cause but I figure I'd ask a fellow person who adores this show as much as I do. :) Thanks
Xarmulous It was at the start of they year wasn't it? The original Run Through the Tape account was deleted, it'll be hard to find that episode on TH-cam.
Don't particularly like Nate on the show if I'm honest - his lack of experience means he doesn't have the presence or knowledge that an Isaiah does, for example. I also think Shaq was a lot more serious and although the Shaq-Charles relationship is 'fun', sometimes I think it goes a bit too far. Shaq has a much better on-air relationship with IT and Kenny, because he's fun but still sensible, and that's what I personally want when I'm trying to get some basketball updates.
After that series and Spurs losing, I kinda lost interest in the playoffs. Probably saw the best of the playoffs there. East probably gonna win now unless GSW plays through the whole playoffs like they played in the regular season. Otherwise winner of Cavs vs Bulls gonna win.
I don't know about that..now that the spurs are out I can see gsw winning it all now spurs in my eyes were there only team I can see beating golden state because both teams have a superstar starters and really good bench players...
Taylan Ertan Bulls are overrated as hell. They aren't beating GSW, I doubt they'll even get past Lebron's Cavs. When the Bulls are playing at 100% they're one of the best teams in the comp but they are far too inconsistent to win 4 rounds, in saying that they're probably one of the only teams with the individual talent to take on Cavs or GSW so if they can pull it together they have a chance. The Spurs were not playing at a championship level this year, TP9 wasn't playing anywhere the level he was playing last year and Manu was lack lustre. Pop gets his guys playing efficiently; taking good shots, limiting turnovers and simple yet effective defence but it's the players that win games. The Clippers have more talent and in the end that's what won them the game. I agree with Chuck when he said that a couple of these games the Spurs didn't win but the Clippers lost. The only reason the Spurs stayed close was because of some good games by Duncan, stupid mistakes by Clippers and of course the Spurs efficient play. Spurs would have gotten crushed by GSW; the team with the most talent playing the most efficiently. It astounds me you thought the Spurs had a better chance of winning the championship than GSW.
no, this isn't spam... but for all y'all Clipper-nation citizens out there, this video is pretty damn compelling. I know it's only a first-round victory, and they're not my faves, but dammit if this video didn't drudge up emotions in me: th-cam.com/video/wrMky4VN924/w-d-xo.html
Topazio +5 "Gone fishin'" - The most notable of TNT's catchphrases. It is used whenever a team is knocked out of the playoffs (or a team failed to make the playoffs), and is usually accompanied by doctored photos of players on the team on fishing boats with analyst Kenny Smith. Reportedly, it has its roots in the 90s - when the Suns had a chance to eliminate a team, their gorilla mascot would have a fishing pole on hand to indicate the opponents would be "gone fishin".
stewie griffin nope hes not as good as curry. Mvp not based on the playoffs but hardens been choking which kinda proves that hes not mvp material this year yet
Anthony Oo just out of curiousity, what do you think their criteria was for picking the mvp? I mean westbrook had the best overall numbers (pts,reb,ast). Harden "carried the team" more (seeing as how the warriors are an overall good team whereas the rockets rely on harden big time and they still ended up 2nd seed). Just wondering, since i couldn't figure it out. Only thing that makes sense is "best player on the best team" which quite frankly doesn't make sense since the warriors are the best due to the team effort and not just curry. any ideas?
stewie griffin I think it SHOULD be carried the team which would be harden BUT the criteria right now is its the best player on the best team. But its more than that. If you think about it, the best team wouldnt be the best without the best player. Warriors without curry would be a playoff team but not 60+ wins. Maybe around 50s. Then you have to go to prev winners n see. Last year KD was the obvious winner but before that lebron won twice. Now, they had chris bosh and dwade and would be a top seed even without lebron but lebron was the best player on that team and pushed them over the top
hmm i wonder if this lip sync competition will spark a new phenomenon....probably not, but we never in a million years saw how the chariots of backfire would turn into something huge. lip sync through the tape....and thx for all these episodes. i try my best not to watch inside the nba when i watch the games on the tv, i've gotten so used to coming here for my daily dose of entertainment....and as i've said before, its just not the same when you don't hear c webb yelling "in life, never give up, run through the tape"

Wonder if there's anything better as a journalist than Popovich telling you that you had a great question
Jacques Pantano As a college journalist, that made me so happy to hear
That's when you know you made it lol
That was one hell of a series
webfoot2001 Yes it was
Run Through The Tape So far..the best Series In the Playoffs this year and. the best one maybe ever..
אופק גולסטני it will be the best this year the playoffs peaked now whats left to watch Memphis and Atlanta in the finals no thank you
+webfoot2001 looking back on it, I think it was the best series of the ENTIRE playoffs

Best playoff game and series I've seen in a while. Thanks for the upload man, we appreciate it
24:28 Nate Robinson challenge when he got knocked out. THATS TUFF
Where would be without ya! Thanks man all the way from Vancouver, BC
mark sagun No Problem
CP3 redeemed himself during this series especially since he made the game winning shot.
This was the nba finals for me. two best teams.
Earnie with some mad foreshadowing saying how Brewer and Josh Smith are contributing well to the Rockets... Fs XD
I wish thunder were in the playoffs this year with everyone healthy.
I feel that pain man. Next year though ✊
GregOdenBLAZE I do too
Thanks so much man.
goatboytone1 Yep
yeah, this show is nothing without barkley.
nice, after being a few times close to it in the series Blake finally pulled a triple double. He put up some good numbers in this series
He had one in like game 2, what are you talking about finally getting one. You clearly payed attention to the series tho
i like nate on the show. he's genuinely funny unlike a lot of the other replacements for chuck who seem to force it.
LycanVonWolf you sound dead inside
Love the appearance of Lil' Nate on the show, haven't seen him for a while
Thanks much for posting these episodes of Inside the NBA (ITN), it's a very welcome service--at least by me! A slight shame that Charles Barkley wasn't present for this episode of ITN, his commentary would have been much preferable over the inane comments by Nate Robinson.

Thank you very much buddy!
smukdreng13 Yep
Nate Robinson is a good addition to the show
Il y a une ores importante de grace auchangement de potentien
Thanks for the up man.Why is Nate not playing anywhere ?
Had six chains since sixth grade cuz he sucks.
As always, thanks for the upload!

As for EC...really hoping to see ATL vs CHI
Seracen You're right about the Grizzles they are my team and I think it will be the Wizards vs. Chicago but they need Wall to come back
What is it that Tim Duncan always looks half asleep to me? Seriously...
Tim and Manu probably signing for 1 year and retire in '16. Maybe Pop going out as well if they don't get a good big man on the team.
i miss charles barkley

kawhii leonard was not what he was last year
That was a royal flush Kenny lol
What did Kenny say without CP3 the clippers have no chance vs the rockets? Clips just eased to victory in Houston without Paul.
Dan5872 cause everyone hates the clippers for some reason.
Blake played great... He was playing point forward....
that was before they thought clippers couldnt be consistent, now I think people can see that clippers are a scary team. With Blake Griffin getting even better, Chris Paul coming back and if their role players can hit big shots they can go all the way

Yeah it was early this season! :(
DAMN YOU TH-cam!!!!!
ya never know. there might be someone here that has a link to clip that contains that moment.
Xarmulous Yep I had that halftime on my old channel, I believe they might have a clip on NBA.com in the videos section.
Ehhh...i think the better team lost this series. Clippers just got lucky. Its going to be interesting to see who wins it. :)
Hey nate on the panel, i like that dude.
Smh we would've beat the Warriors

the criteria right now is its the best player on the best team. But its more than that. If you think about it, the best team wouldnt be the best without the best player. Warriors without curry would be a playoff team but not 60+ wins. Maybe around 50s.
Then you have to go to prev winners n see. Last year KD was the obvious winner but before that lebron won twice. Now, they had chris bosh and dwade and would be a top seed even without lebron but lebron was the best player on that team and pushed them over the top

el84oro Lol, thanks for the support. "Lip sync through the tape"
