Go Spurs Go. :flag:

First game blog. We need some freshness out here.

Key points: Defense. Defense has been pretty bad these past few games. If you want to win on the road, you can't play bad defense.

Finally the Dumbleavy era has come to an end. The Clippers will only get better from here. If I were them, I'd make B Diddy the player-coach and have some fun with it! :lol

As for us, I expect nothing from this team any more... they have proven they don't have what it takes to contend, so I'm just going to enjoy the basketball for what it is and not get too upset when we revert to type and choke. :depressed

Jefferson is laughably bad.

I was going to say how is Jefferson such a soft finisher. He always loses the ball. Manu is a way stronger finisher and he's not as big as RJ.

Does RJ have really small hands or are his huge arms deceiving. Maybe his arms a blow up arms inflated with air and if you touch them they are really soft ;).

So Manu can go to the rack and draw a foul, but on 3 drives RJ can't once?

Well RJ when we first got him I looked at his upper body and thought this guy looks very strong, but since he's been on the Spurs he's one of the softest finishers I've ever seen with that kind of upper body. He seems to lose the ball very easily.

Manu craddles the ball when he penetrates, R.J brings the ball down. Plus Manu is quicker from point A of attack to point B a the rim which makes it more difficult for the opponents to get their hands on the ball, since they have to react quicker when he drives.

It's like baseball. It's easier for most people to hit and catch up to a 75 mph fastball than a 92 mph fastball. ( As stupid as that sounds) Manu being the 92 mph fastball in the lane and R.J being the slow lethargic 75 mph fastball.

0.7 more blocks per game per 36 and 0.6 less fouls per game per 36(since Kaman plays a lot of minutes and Duncan doesn't)..big difference..

Hey those few fans that said George Hill will show us how good he is if he starts and gets a lot more minutes could be right. He's putting up pretty decent numbers since he's been starting again.

The big thing going into the second half is to effectively put the game away in the first five minutes. Not necessarily by extending the lead, but by not allowing a quick 10-2 spurt or something like that that get's the Clippers and their fans going.

Excellent job by Pop with the rotation in the first half. Other than McDyess, nobody was overextended. Hopefully, if the Spurs step on the Clippers throat, like they should, McDyess and the big three won't be needed much in the second half and can rest up for the Lakers and Nuggets.

I'm wondering the same thing. Based on what we've seen this season, my answer would be no. But, hopefully, at least for a game, they can. I want to see the Clippers held under 85 points and at least in the low 40% from the field in this game. Obviously, it would be an upset if they continued to be this inept offensively (mainly because it's highly unlikely they commit another 15 turnovers in the 2nd half), but there's no reason this should be a back-and-forth half where it takes 50-60 points to comfortably put them away.

Not sure about that - Tim looked very unimpressed a moment ago, which was odd given how far up they are. It looks to me like he's sick of RJ's struggles.

Actually, it was most glaring against Portland - when RJ came to the huddle he hid from Pop and wouldn't look any of the other players in the face.

I'm not sure it's there, but keep an eye out for it. They guy has never really fit
in with the team at all.
