Game Blog: Spurs vs Clippers 12/28

[jag]

Is it just me or does Splitter match up surprisingly well with Griffin? It's really strange

[Manu-of-steel]

Wow! we'replaying all the 2nd unit. Let's see how they would fare

[TDfan2007]

It's surprising how mediocre Ford is with the ball.

[Spurologist]

T. J. F.o.r.d. What. The. Fuck.

[urunobili]

Billups could guide the youngsters for a run. I wonder if Leonard will be on him?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Jumper TJ

[ace3g]

nice D by Splitter there

[ElNono]

:wow JA

[ace3g]

Mr. Anderson and1!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

JA BiTCHES

[Libri]

Oh yea, Anderson!

[urunobili]

James Andersoooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

[blkroadrunners]

Anderson, you clever SOB

[Kuestmaster]

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Billups got billupped

[LakerHater]

Ohhhhhh WoW !!!

JA!

[DesignatedT]

Wow we look good.

[phxspurfan]

Welcome to San Antonio muthafuckas!

[ElNono]

It'll be interesting to see if the bench can hold the fort on the 4th quarter

[Tp9gospursgo]

We look great right now.

[Spursfan092120]

Billups just got GOT!! lol

[Spurs9]

Spurs BALLIN this game.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/nkdlunch/rain.jpg

[Fireball]

can we just call it a game here and fly to Houston?

[Bill_Brasky]

Dude, Tiago moving his feet so well against a freak athlete like Blake is really impressive.

I was just thinking the same thing. He just looks like such a natural defender.

[DAF86]

Is it neccesary to play the 4th?

[Spurologist]

We stttaaaccckkkeeeed

[Dawkins]

Blake cannot get anything on offense playing vs Thiago

[z0sa]

:lol we're curbstomping these sorry bastards.

[timtonymanu]

lol Billups

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bwahaha Chauncey got chaunceyed

[Spursfan092120]

It'll be interesting to see if the bench can hold the fort on the 4th quarter

They've done a good job so far.

[DarkGinobili]

Looking good.

[Manu-of-steel]

We're stacked! From the 1st unit to the 2nd unit,yeah!

[ElNono]

Spurs BALLIN this game.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/nkdlunch/rain.jpg

:lol

[urunobili]

Spurs have to be careful. The Clips have the talent for a run.

[ElNono]

:lol best team in LA

[DMC]

Is it just me or does Splitter match up surprisingly well with Griffin? It's really strange
Tiago knows where to be on the floor, he gets there before Griffin can set up.

[loveforthegame]

I didn't see this coming. Everyone is looking sharp.

[Fireball]

They've done a good job so far.

actually it was the first unit (and Bonner) that blew it in the 2nd

[Spurs Brazil]

Fantastic 3rd quarter

It will be great if the big 3 don't need to play the 4th quarter

[DMC]

2nd game of the season, don't mean anything right now. Better than a loss.

[DPG21920]

You can start to see how this team can be better than last year as is. Maybe not in wins, but impact. With Tiago, Anderson, Kawhi, TJ and hopefully Neal they can be tougher on defense and have more energy. Not legit contenders and it's early but you've seen glimpses so far.

[Josepatches_]

Splitter is doing a good job against Griffin.He was being unstoppable but he didn't score since he returned to the court.

That said now he will score 4 or 5 in a row over Tiago

[spurspokesman]

2nd game of the season, don't mean anything right now. Better than a loss.
This. But fu to watch

[ElNono]

Ay ay ay Matty

[Libri]

Tiago knows where to be on the floor, he gets there before Griffin can set up.

Tiago the Blake stopper.

[BoricuaCJA]

Nice game so far for the Spurs.

[naico]

Bonner can't rebound for shit

[Fireball]

This. But fu to watch

No, enjoy the fucking game ...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

James Anderson has game

[Manu-of-steel]

Knowledge of the system is definitely an advantage for the spurs right now. We have to take advantage of the short preseason early.

[ace3g]

even on that rebound by Kawhi, any other person that ball bounces off their hands out of bounds, he literally has magnet hands

[angelbelow]

even on that rebound by Kawhi, any other person that ball bounces off their hands out of bounds, he literally has magnet hands

:lol That ball definitely bounced around for a bit before he ripped it down.

[urunobili]

Bonner Bonner Bonner...

[timtonymanu]

James Anderson may be my favorite non-Big 3 Spur this season.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

even on that rebound by Kawhi, any other person that ball bounces off their hands out of bounds, he literally has magnet hands


Why is Kawai wearing #15 in your sig bro? Was that his College number?

[ElNono]

Bonner Bonner Bonner...

He gotta foul out

[DPG21920]

:lol pretty sure TJ is scared of Pop

[Tp9gospursgo]

What happened to pops hair....

[Fireball]

best defense so far by Bonner

[Manu-of-steel]

Whew! This is fun!

[Josepatches_]

Bonner....

it's hard to believe it

[urunobili]

come on guys let's score 10 more...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ugly offense

[phxspurfan]

Paul lookin to get thrown out of this game

[itzsoweezee]

Bonner is still the worst player on the roster, in case anyone was wondering

[DPG21920]

Tiago faltering on offense but great defense when stranded on Paul.

[Kuestmaster]

Splitter legs are quick

[DMC]

Tiago played that CP3 iso very well.

[Manu-of-steel]

Defense!

[Fireball]

Splitter must react to the double teams

[angelbelow]

Off topic:

Aminu is +15 with 0 points 0 rebounds 0 assist.. That's Bonner-esqe.

[naico]

I love JA's hesitation move

[urunobili]

refs have been calling all home friendly calls, many bogus. we've been lucky.

[ElNono]

Just when you thought Bonner couldn't play any worse...

[Josepatches_]

Off topic:

Aminu is +15 with 0 points 0 rebounds 0 assist.. That's Bonner-esqe.


But how many points had been scored on him?

[Bill_Brasky]

refs have been calling all home friendly calls, many bogus. we've been lucky.

I've noticed that too. Maybe not a ton, but more than a few have had me saying "I'd be pissed if that was against the Spurs"

[Fireball]

refs have been calling all home friendly calls, many bogus. we've been lucky.

the early calls on Timmy sucked pretty badly ...

[z0sa]

James Anderson may be my favorite non-Big 3 Spur this season.

I was impressed with him in his time last season. I think he could be another underrated steal if he has a lot of potential. The long time out didn't make him bashful, either.

[Manu-of-steel]

Kawhi starting to collect rebounds. Nice!

[Spurologist]

time to get the big 3 back in

[urunobili]

TD and Manu in? wtf Pop? it wasn't THAT close (yet) :depressed

[BanditHiro]

fucking clippers...they are not going to win but they keep all their starters in so we are force to play ours.

[Josepatches_]

Just when you thought Bonner couldn't play any worse...

Never underestimate Bonner

[phxspurfan]

Bench wasn't getting it done, Pop was upset

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Griffin

[Spurologist]

:lmao Griffin

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy hesitated....

[Fireball]

Timmy ... don't hesitate dammit

[BanditHiro]

fuck please don't lose this game. i already see enough of this bs with the cowboys.

[loveforthegame]

Buckle down and finish this game strong. Don't give the Clippers any hope.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu for 33333333333333333333

[Spurologist]

mmmmmaaaaannnnnuuuuuuu 3333333333333333333333333

[Manu-of-steel]

Penalty situation with 7 minutes remaining. Hell

[FkLA]

fuck please don't lose this game. i already see enough of this bs with the cowboys.

cowboys dont have manu

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blair with the roll

[z0sa]

the passing is looking magnificent

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Great passing

[BanditHiro]

wow fuck the mavs and their popularization of the zone.

[Spurs9]

TJ Ford is a great passer, he has good vision imo

[Spurologist]

Spurs killing this soft zone with excellent ball movement

[Kori Ellis]

:lol Griffin with a -37

[ElNono]

Just showing off now :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Great game by Blair

[DMC]

Thinking Jordan never saw a Eurostep with that "travel!"proclamation.

[timtonymanu]

Just let Manu make one shot and everything starts falling. Awesome

[Jeezla]

Manu is a pimp. I wish he would glue an afro wig on his head.

[ElNono]

:lol Griffin with a -37

:lol worst stat ever

[jjktkk]

Bonner is still the worst player on the roster, in case anyone was wondering

Thanks for the insight.

[Libri]

Blair with the roll

and it's not a cinnamon roll

[jag]

Tiago's offense has looked wack as hell so far this season. He's not comfortable in the post...everything looks too mechanical. But he'll smooth things out and find a rhythm with more shot attempts. He was starting to make strides during the Memphis series. He just needs more attempts against 7'0 NBA athletes.

[itzsoweezee]

just beautiful passing by this offensive unit

[loveforthegame]

Blair is playing like a beast tonight. Need more of that all season long.

[Fireball]

he had only like two attempts tonight ... they even double teamed him

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

His passing looks solid overall, but yeah. He's playing great on defense.

[DMC]

just beautiful passing by this offensive unit
The defense isn't passing so bad either.

[urunobili]

Anderson and Leonard kind of ready to go back in!

[LakerHater]

:lol worst stat ever
Yeah, WTF is that??

[Ginobilly]

is Manu now the best shooting guard in the west? The maturation of his jumpshot has really opened up and expanded his overall game the last three years.

[Jeezla]

Anyone know what kicks Manu is rocking?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Smooth shot from RJ

[Kuestmaster]

Great game by Jefferson tbh

[urunobili]

oh my why Dick looks so decent... :depressed

I guess the "last one to show up in the huddle after the tackle" kind of worked...

[Jeezla]

Skip to my Blair

[Spurs Brazil]

Very good game by RJ

..and preseason. He just doesn't look comfortable is what I'm trying to say.

[Libri]

Billups gets out of the way. lol

[z0sa]

Dejuan Blair :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Spurologist]

:wow

Blair with the killer crossover

should be shooting fts tbh

[urunobili]

can we see some Corey out there plz?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard playing the 4

[urunobili]

love it how Leonard is never asking the ball. He knows he's going to be on learning mode for a couple of years.

If they keep playing this well, I wonder if Neal will take TJ's role to carve his?

[BanditHiro]

wow 100% FT

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf spurs 15/15 ft....ummm thats just wrong

[DMC]

Ford, Fucked Over Rebuilt D-Leaguer

[Spurs9]

Dare I say spurs the strongest looking team over first 2 games so far? Heat who were the favorite, only won by 2 points tonight. Spurs blowing bitches out

[ezau]

I'd be happy if we can limit the Clips to just 95 points. Right now, they're shooting percentage is just 41 percent. Great defense by the team

[Fireball]

can we see some Corey out there plz?

there we go

[Libri]

:lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol :lol :lol

[Spurologist]

after missed dunk

Elliott: "That's the old Clippers"

:lmao :lmao

[Muser]

lol missed dunk

[timtonymanu]

Damn it's like we're playing the 07-11 Clippers.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Dare I say spurs the strongest looking team over first 2 games so far? Heat who were the favorite, only won by 2 points tonight. Spurs blowing bitches out

Nuggets say hi :toast :lobt2:

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Cory Joseph looks like he has good size, he looked as big as Danny Green.

[DMC]

Manu at the timeout to the team: "guys, don't let up, this game isn't over. Push the ball, get to the rim and score, don't let up"

[Fireball]

These Clips had two days of rest ...and just got obliterated ... they will not go anywhere with that defense

[WeNeedLength]

Griffin is at a -37 +/- now.... L:lolb city?

:lmao

[Fermixalot]

Manu at the timeout to the team: "guys, don't let up, this game isn't over. Push the ball, get to the rim and score, don't let up"

How do you know that?

[BanditHiro]

These Clips had two days of rest ...and just got obliterated ... they will not go anywhere with that defense

they will not go anywhere with vinny del negro

[Fireball]

Nuggets say hi :toast

you were just waiting for that th whole night, didn't you :lol

[8FOR!3]

If Cory Joseph is only 6'3, it's a solid 6'3. I think the kid (lol, I can call him that he's a couple of months younger than me!) will turn out to be a player.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Blake Griffin's +/- is -37 :lol

[ElNono]

I'm liking keeping teams under 100 pts... if not for that 2nd quarter it would've been even better

[urunobili]

How do you know that?

sorry I didn't add "I assume" to my post :rolleyes

[Spurs9]

Nuggets say hi :toast :lobt2:
Nuggets are looking good too, maybe a sleeper team?

[NRHector]

we got this game ladies and gentlemen

cof cof :p:

[Fireball]

Green should have gone Metta World Peace there and dunk it

[ace3g]

damn if Leonard finishes that

[LakerHater]

I hope they spill your plums all over Bexar County.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Kawai for 222222222222222222222

[urunobili]

Kawhaiiiiii!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

spurs shouldn't score anymore so I can win vbookie

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

you were just waiting for that th whole night, didn't you :lol

:lol yeh I was following the game and the thread

Both teams are demoralizing the opposition

[Spursfan092120]

Spurs bench bitchslapping the Clip's bench.

[BanditHiro]

jesus that shot by kwahii was flat

[DPG21920]

Hold them under 90!

[ElNono]

:lol review

[ElNono]

We win!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

now the refs just being stupid

[urunobili]

CROFL ref crew

[z0sa]

Jeeezus. Rested Clips get obliterated, look like bitches :lol

[Spurologist]

shoulda wagered more on Leonard making the last basket

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win

Manu, Blair and RJ with big games

[timmike2]

woo spurs win again! :D GSG!

[DMC]

Young squad, ton of new talent, like I said in another thread, in a couple of months the results could likely be reversed.

[Fireball]

:lol yeh I was following the game and the thread

Utah is really bad, or not?

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Spurs blow out two decent teams to start the season.

Good job!

[Fireball]

Young squad, ton of new talent, like I said in another thread, in a couple of months the results could likely be reversed.

you just can't stop ...

[DMC]

Nothing wrong with the refs. Play to the letter by the book. No interpretations and corner cutting.

[Manu20]

I have a man crush on Leonard!!!! 8 rebounds!!!

[DMC]

you just can't stop ...
Why should I?

[z0sa]

Spurs 80
Clipshow 98

tbh...

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard with 8rebs

[Fireball]

Why should I?

Don't know ... just be happy for a moment ... stop worrying about the future

[NealwithIt]

LOL Bruce trolling Sean,

[dunkman]

Another good win, congratulations to the team, didn't expected such convincing game.

[easy7]

Hell of a game... glad I recorded it.

[Bill_Brasky]

It was a nice game but Clips made a TON of mistakes. We did a great job of capitalizing though.

[SilverSpur]

Spurs beat Clippers for 17 in a row at home.
Great game!

[8FOR!3]

The box score for this game looks pretty for us Spurs fans lol...

RJ 19
Timmy 10-8
Blair 20-6 saw some good things out of him defensively against Blake Griffin, he was just playing a superior player.
Ginobili 24
Parker 14-9a's
Kawhi 8 rebounds
Anderson 12 points
Splitter. steal, block, 4 points, 3 boards, but he was playing great on D.
Bonner 50% 3's, at least he's doing something.
TJ 4-5a's. This guy is what we need out of a backup PG. George Hill is a solid young player, but he's not a point guard.
Green - Didn't show, but this guy can shoot.
Joseph - Showed a good move, almost finished.

[angelbelow]

That Clipper broadcasting team all class as always.

[Trainwreck2100]

That Clipper broadcasting team all class as always.

Didn't see it, were they mad?

[TDMVPDPOY]

not even one LOB in this game...

[4>1]

i have a man crush on leonard!!!! 8 rebounds!!!

+1000000000000000000000000

[LakerLanny]

LMAO, the Clippers might want to postpone the NBA Championship parade they have been planning.

The Frenchman used CP3 like a dishrag.

[therealtruth]

The Spurs are taking advantage of their continuity. It's going to take alot of teams that changed players time to figure out their identity. The Spurs should be focusing on integrating the new players and continuing to improve the defense. So far the defense seems pretty good.

[ace3g]

Spurs are outscoring their opponents 67 to 31 in the 3rd quarter this season.

[cutewizard]

excellent win by the Spurs

Manu with 24 points in 27 minutes!!!


yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMC]

Spurs are outscoring their opponents 67 to 31 in the 3rd quarter this season.
We are also undefeated.

Far ahead regarding intelligence. Had manu a body with more durability, he'd be competing with any of the MJs for an all-history top spot.

[cutewizard]

Far far ahead of the second, regarding intelligence. Has manu a body with more durability, he'd be competing with any of the MJs for an all-history top spot.



completely agree with you man,

i love Manu so much, im trying to compose a poem for him

will post it here if i ever finish it....


you know what, i wish we will win the Finals this year, and that Manu gets what he deserves, which is a Finals MVP....
