Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers 2/18/2012

[loveforthegame]

I'm assuming Pop is saving Leonard and his 3 fouls for the 4th??

[Libri]

Neal 33333333

[Juggity]

Neal with the Bigass shot

[DPG21920]

Spurs ability to blow leads so quickly is astonishing

[timtonymanu]

Oh well typical fashion for the team to give up and get lazy once they have a comfortable lead.

[jestersmash]

I disagree. Although he isn't shooting well, he is not looking for his shot and is still a master at the pick and roll.

Couple of personal fouls and a turnover so far :lol

[007nites]

neal has some balls

[Sense]

What the fuck where are the fouls.

[BanditHiro]

blair is such a shit player

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this is seriously fucked up, as soon as TP not hitting jumpers, there was absolutely no offense

[jestersmash]

what the fuck are they doing out there? Why is Manu even in the game if he's never gonna touch the ball?

He touched the ball second to last possession. He turned it over trying to run pick and roll.

[will_spurs]

Manu looking old right now.

[Bill_Brasky]

Gary neal just ran a train on their momentum :lol

[Barfunk]

Fuckin Chris Paul going up to Neal "I fouled you?"

[ace3g]

Kawhi better get a lot of minutes in the 4th

[Mal]

Seriously, who jinxed this 15 pts lead?

[timtonymanu]

Crappy 1st and 3rd quarter. Let's hope the 4th is good like the 2nd.

[Dex]

Isn't this the third straight game where they have given up a 15+ point run to the other team?

That shit ain't gonna fly in the playoffs.

[siraulo23]

Ohh boy what a game

Huge 3 by neal

[DPG21920]

Seriously, who jinxed this 15 pts lead?

We stopped scoffing DT

[WeNeedLength]

Well they made a huge run and then gave up a huge run to Foye who basically brought the Clips back into the game.

[Sense]

Fuckin Chris Paul going up to Neal "I fouled you?"

He's trying to get in the Spurs' heads, he did this to Bonner earlier on a foul that he thought wasn't called..

[jestersmash]

Manu looking old right now.

I doubt it's age right now. He picked up where he left off last season for the first 5 games of the season. For those first 5 games at least, Manu had the highest PER in the league.

He's playing uncharacteristically poor today.

Even his first or second game back - despite not being able to score he did have 7 assists to 1 T.O.

[thispego]

Lol twitter is so fuckin stupid

[Sense]

Seriously, who jinxed this 15 pts lead?

Probably me, I was probably the only one here expecting a big game from Foye :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

Kawhi better get a lot of minutes in the 4th

i still dont know why pop didnt play him in the 3rd to protect to the lead, he only has 3 fouls...

fkn blowing leads nothing as usual...

[timvp]

What a weird game. The Spurs explode out of nowhere and then the corpse of Randy Foye leads a one-man comeback? WTF?

[BackHome]

Chris Paul is such a freakin bitch......

Man we need to get a back up PG.

Blair sucks...we need another big.......:bang

[timtonymanu]

Isn't this the third straight game where they have given up a 15+ point run to the other team?

That shit ain't gonna fly in the playoffs.

It's scary how fast they give up leads. The whole team just needs to stop playing some damn soft once they're up. They need to keep fighting and learn how to adjust to the defense.

[Dex]

Oh, and this is all Rick Renner's fault for calling out Foye for struggling. That fake ass Spurs fan has to bust out a jinx statement in like every pre game. :lol

[DPG21920]

Isn't this the third straight game where they have given up a 15+ point run to the other team?

That shit ain't gonna fly in the playoffs.

This is where the defense has to improve. You aren't going to stay hot but you should be able to defend well enough not to blow 10+ point leads in 8 minutes.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Strange quarter. We dominated, then they did. Overall we came out ahead +1. Should be a good fourth.

[Mal]

He's trying to get in the Spurs' heads, he did this to Bonner earlier on a foul that he thought wasn't called..

You trying to tell people, that nba players dont know that Paul is little whining bitch. It isnt his trash talk, it is whining.

[Mal]

Chisora is retarded

[DesignatedT]

Bonner Blair lineup is just god awful

[roycrikside]

Right now Ginobili has no chemistry with his teammates. It's like they don't even realize he's on the floor with them. Pop sure isn't helping the situation.

[ace3g]

Neal with it!!!

[Juggity]

Neal is the man

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Neal wit it

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Nealll just shoot the fucking ball thank you very much

[loveforthegame]

Neal says he's got this.

[Libri]

Neal with a "enough with this shit" 3.

[Dex]

:lmao Old Man Martin drives right around Jefferson's "defense".

[TDMVPDPOY]

need more of that from KL attacking the rim

[The ADMIRAL 50]

What a weird game. The Spurs explode out of nowhere and then the corpse of Randy Foye leads a one-man comeback? WTF?

Seriously. Maybe the worst starting two in the league so far before today. They reeeally could've used JR Smith.

[timtonymanu]

Neal playing with some great swag.

[loveforthegame]

Blair coming up with some nice plays.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

williams plays the worst defense I have ever seen in any guard tbh

[Barfunk]

Bonner/Blair should be interesting

[FkLA]

the fuck is blair doing out there in the 4th, put matty ice in !!

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Lololololol

[Libri]

Blair :lol

[SpursRock20]

Man they are just jackin' up 3's.

[SpursRock20]

Put Duncan in Pop.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Dejuan in them White Cement AJ 4 and Kawhi in the True Blue AJ 3s.....

[Borosai]

Protect the ball. They get leads and get sloppy.

[timvp]

How long can Pop go without Duncan? I think he should hold out for a couple more minutes.

[Paranoid Pop]

Neal with some huge shots when we needed him.

[Sense]

You trying to tell people, that nba players dont know that Paul is little whining bitch. It isnt his trash talk, it is whining.

What?!

[Sense]

Neal is huge for this team when we need him.

When he delivers..

[WeNeedLength]

Duncan needs to come back. Griffin and Jordan against Blair and Bonner? lolollolololololollolololollo

[SpursRock20]

How long can Pop go without Duncan? I think he should hold out for a couple more minutes.

Well Griffin is coming back in, so this could get scary without Duncan...

[rasho8]

What's with this smallllll ball shit?

[Borosai]

Bonner was open.

[Osnofa]

nice blair, nice

[Libri]

Please take one of those midget bigs out Pop.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol bonners defense

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Bonner should only have the right to drive once or twice a game. Not a fucking sky hook.

[roycrikside]

I'm just shocked that the Blair/Bonner tandem can't get a rebound.

[loveforthegame]

Blair smh

[Mal]

What?!

I read it like "he`s not bitching, he`s trying to get into Spurs guys head". Maybe i`m wrong

[Cant_Be_Faded]

three things in life you can depend on

death

taxes

kenyon martin bricking jump shots

[rasho8]

Did Tiago get hurt or something?

[Drachen]

Well Griffin is coming back in, so this could get scary without Duncan...

yeah, but leonard is in

[Borosai]

Matty has the prettiest sky hook on this team.

[timtonymanu]

Get a fricking rebound!

[SpursRock20]

Duncan please.

[Sense]

I read it like "he`s not bitching, he`s trying to get into Spurs guys head". Maybe i`m wrong

Yeah you are, and I don't see why he would be bitching at a Spurs player, like he can do anything..

[Drachen]

good foul tony

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Lol dumbass clip fans thinking that was continuation

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker with the stupid possession 3pt shot...

[loveforthegame]

:depressed

[WeNeedLength]

Yay mr. unclutch in the game. Dick.

[TDMVPDPOY]

rj is a fkn dog shit

[ata]

cmonn RJ - fucking airball

[Bonner4MVPzz]

CROFL spurs

[Juggity]

Fuck Chris Paul

[roycrikside]

Manu's not on the bench is he? I can't see him.

[ace3g]

Parker and 1 !!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ should just shoot the 3 and not make ANY move at all.

[loveforthegame]

Smh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No Ginobili? I know he's rusty but just his presence should help the Spurs out to close the game.

[DPG21920]

Big answer from Tony

[timvp]

Tbh, I would pull the plug on Green vs. Paul. Gotta put TP back on him.

[timtonymanu]

There we go Parker! Win this game for us.

[roycrikside]

These announcers are god damn terrible. They have no idea what's going on with anyone.

[DesignatedT]

wow tony is a fuckin MAN!

[rasho8]

Seriously I missed be first half of the game..... Where is Tiago?

[WeNeedLength]

Tony with the grown man move. Cp3 waking up could be bad...

[HarlemHeat37]

Paul has been arguably the best 4th quarter player in the NBA, this season..

He was pacing himself, in the first 3 quarters..looks like he's beginning to turn it on..hopefully Parker can match it..

[Sense]

Lol dumbass clip fans thinking that was continuation

Have you ever been to a game?

It's not the same as watching it on TV, you can't really hear anything..

[Libri]

Seriously I missed be first half of the game..... Where is Tiago?

calf injury

[loveforthegame]

Seriously I missed be first half of the game..... Where is Tiago?

Splitter is out with a strained right calf.

[DPG21920]

not sure if serious

Brick not hit back

[timtonymanu]

Seriously I missed be first half of the game..... Where is Tiago?

He strained his calf. There's a thread about it.

[jestersmash]

No Ginobili? I know he's rusty but just his presence should help the Spurs out to close the game.

Will it? He can't hit 3s. He doesn't really attempt jumpshots. If you pass it out to a wide open Manu it own't lead to anything, not to mention he hasn't been successful handling the ball well this game on the pick and roll either.

[Robz4000]

Manu was about to come back in, then went to the locker room. He might be hurt. Damn.

[rasho8]

calf injury

See that explains a lot of what I am seeing. Thanks.

[DPG21920]

Parker has to be the worst and-1 ft shooter in the league

[TDMVPDPOY]

rj wtf was that shit, put fkn KL back in damn it

[BanditHiro]

man we had it.

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck you rj

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit. That bitch ass RJ of course.

[ata]

3pt and 1
fuck you RJ

[Robz4000]

Spurs are done

[timtonymanu]

Parker has to be the worst and-1 ft shooter in the league

Seriously. He always misses it.

[Libri]

RJ :pctoss

[WeNeedLength]

Jefferson knows the definition of suck. In more ways than one. :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Jefferson - the most gutless, pathetic excuse for a NBA player

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness we brought RJ in for Leonard. Genius move.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA

@manuginobili has gone back to locker room; no report on his ailment; Spurs 82, Clips 81 w/ 531 left

[ace3g]

tied game again!!!

[Libri]

Tony not letting the Spurs die.

[Juggity]

Thank you, TP. Open jumper.

[ata]

TP is carrying Spurs

[ace3g]

Timmy!!!

[ata]

WTG Timmy

[timtonymanu]

Give it to Tim and Tony every time. And take RJ's pathetic ass out.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Duncan!

[timvp]

I'm guessing Manu is hurt :depressed

[007nites]

Timmay!

[timtonymanu]

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA

@manuginobili has gone back to locker room; no report on his ailment; Spurs 82, Clips 81 w/ 531 left

:bang

[loveforthegame]

Parker and Duncan leading the way. :tu

Wonder what's up with Ginobli? 2nd trip back to the locker room can't be good news.

[WeNeedLength]

Wow. Timmy thought about that jumper which usually means a miss.

[DesignatedT]

Tony and Duncan!!!

[Borosai]

That didn't seem like a very good call against Jefferson. He had a good approach but Butler stuck out his knee.

[timvp]

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA

@manuginobili has gone back to locker room; no report on his ailment; Spurs 82, Clips 81 w/ 531 left

New Rule: Danny Ferry not allowed to call games. Three injured Spurs in two games.

Impressive, tbh.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

parker completely ignored a wide open bonner and opted to shoot a jumper himself and made it..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ginobili nooooooooooooooooooooo

[GB20]

i really hate Jefferson and blair, those guys need to go

[Juggity]

That was agressive triple teaming on BG

[loveforthegame]

I've aged so much because of this team. :lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn, nice try by Bonner.

[Libri]

Bonner negates his own good play lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bonner you had green for an open fast break layup you goof

[Drachen]

Lol cp!

[DPG21920]

Matt of course

[FkLA]

nice flop

[Trainwreck2100]

New Rule: Danny Ferry not allowed to call games. Three injured Spurs in two games.

Impressive, tbh.

TWO injured spurs, just the same player twice

[Drachen]

GOOD JOB Tony!

[ace3g]

great fake by Parker

[DPG21920]

TP with a C- play!

[Osnofa]

4th quarter Parker is clutch

except a ft line

[BanditHiro]

T.T to many missed FTs

[timtonymanu]

Free throws!

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Im callin a close game with 1-2 mins left then TP says fuck u CP3 even though your my friend, and goes off.

Did I call it?:hat:hat:hat:hat

[Drachen]

4th quarter Parker is clutch

you know, except for that free throw

[Juggity]

Damn, Parker should've made that last FT. That might hurt us.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

parker is shooting a career best FT% but i always see him miss them

[WeNeedLength]

Damn it Tony we need those freethrows :bang

[Sense]

Getting nervous! I just hope the Spurs don't get too carried away with the double and triple teaming.. We don't want to see another wide open shot.

[TDMVPDPOY]

spurs have 27-2 win/loss record against this scrub team

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu and his fragile body...:depressed

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

negro is a pretty shitty coach, bad timing with his TOs

[Darkwaters]

What's with this smallllll ball shit?

Ummmm....no Splitter. No other bigs other than Duncan and the shitty towers.

[Borosai]

Bonner's gonna win this.

[Darkwaters]

This is very unlike Parker missing all these freebies.

[Drachen]

Crap!

[FkLA]

k-mart can still move his feet tbh tony hasnt been able to get around him when they switch on the pick n roll

[TDMVPDPOY]

green wtf was that

[Spurs da champs]

Dammit Paul is just attacking Tim.

[Sense]

It baffles me how easy it is for guards to get past Duncan when he's that close to the basket.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

:(

[WeNeedLength]

Well......

[DPG21920]

Make up for the TO tony

[rasho8]

TP needs to make these free throws please.

[timtonymanu]

Please hit the fucking free throws Tony!

[Drachen]

5 on griffin?

[Sense]

spurs have 27-2 win/loss record against this scrub team

No longer a scrub team.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kenyon can still play really good defense

[ace3g]

Kawhi coming in for D

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol pop playin KL now...watta load of horseshit

[EVAY]

It would have been nice if Tim hadn't let CP walk right past him on that last shot by him.

[DPG21920]

Defend it to win it. Rebound!

[DPG21920]

Kenyon can still play really good defense

He would have been best case for the Spurs.

[WeNeedLength]

Pop subbing Duncan for Leonard for defense. :wow

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What purpose does Chip Engelland serve during games?

[rasho8]

What purpose does Chip Engelland serve during games?

Moral support

[DesignatedT]

Here comes the clippers offensive rebounds and put backs. Why take Duncan out? I know he wants people who can guard the p&r but they are just going to crash the glass against bonner and KL

[Mal]

Haha, tell me now who is true all star starter

[roycrikside]

I can't think of any situation defensively where it makes more sense to have Bonner than Duncan on the floor.

[WeNeedLength]

Jefferson in for defense. :bang

[Drachen]

who wants to bet that we will see one more CPhlop before this is over.

[Johnny RIngo]

Jefferson in for defense. :bang

Seriously...this pos has no heart

[roycrikside]

Such a cheap foul

[DPG21920]

Wow on that call. Bull shit

[Libri]

"Pop uncomfortable with the matchups."

Having Bonner out there in clutch time does that.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

BS call

[Juggity]

Bad fuckin foul by KL

[Proxy]

What a bullshit call

[WeNeedLength]

Of course...

[DesignatedT]

god thats a stupid foul

[FkLA]

cant be srs with that call

[Cant_Be_Faded]

damnit rook

[Osnofa]

bullshit calls

[Barfunk]

Awesome phantom foul

[Johnny RIngo]

Bad fuckin foul by KL

Can't blame Leonard for that - home cooking obviously

[DPG21920]

That's not a f*cking foul

[BanditHiro]

weak call late in the game

[Bill_Brasky]

You kidding me with that call?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Fuck

[timtonymanu]

That's why I fucking hate Chris Paul.

[Sense]

That's not a 4th quarter 30 plus second to go foul...

[WeNeedLength]

who wants to bet that we will see one more CPhlop before this is over.

Dead on right here.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I can't blame the call. Leonard has no business bodying up Chris Paul that far away from the basket at this point in the game.

[DPG21920]

F*ck it, it's TP's team.

[GB20]

fucking nunez hates the spurs

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I actually thought that was a foul, he had his hand on his chest.

[Osnofa]

Parker, Duncan or Neal for this shot. No one else, please.

[Barfunk]

That was a Dwayne Wade 2006 finals esque call.... that just might decide the game....

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck. Me.

[Quiet Strength]

lol @ rj

[roycrikside]

How does he miss that?

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan the bonafide scrub

[DPG21920]

Tim with the typical chip shot miss in a crucial moment

[Libri]

:(

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit Timmy.

[Proxy]

Timmmmm...... T.T

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Duncan should have scored.

[Mal]

wow, that sucks

[ace3g]

come on Tim...

[loveforthegame]

:depressed

[Juggity]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Cant_Be_Faded]

whack

good job RJ you fucking waste of space

[maverick1948]

Another bullshit call on the Timmy shot!!!!

[WeNeedLength]

Tim misses layup FTL :depressed

[Johnny RIngo]

Fucking Jefferson can't even catch the damn ball...worthless

[DesignatedT]

and thats why we wanted kenyon martin

[BanditHiro]

this team can't make bunnies to save their life.

[Fenix]

That's not a 4th quarter 30 plus second to go foul...

take off the homer glasses, that's a foul..

[TIMMYD!]

This better not be a bullshit play where we can't even get a shot off...

[DPG21920]

TP missing and-1's & Tim missing chippies is a given pretty much.

[Sense]

Tim misses layup FTL :depressed

That wasn't a layup.

[024]

martin made some pretty good defensive plays.... no one ever wants to come to the spurs

[timtonymanu]

This would be a terrible loss despite how close the game is considering we were up by more than 15.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Shoulda amnestied RJ

[WeNeedLength]

Jefferson is truly a piece of shit. How does he warrant crunch time minutes? He looked like a scared little girl when he got the ball that last possession.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

time for these los angeles pieces of crap to NEAL WITH IT

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Game
