Game Blog: Spurs vs. Clippers - Game 2

[100%duncan]

Fuck wasting that 16 pt lead.

[MannyIsGod]

When Splitter is in the PnR, he should flash to the hole. This whole thing of going to the whole top of the lane shit is good for people who can make jumpers, like Duncan. With Tiago its just stupid.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The spurs bench as a whole has failed to do its job so far this series

[naico]

Time for Patty to get a shot tbh

[Nathan89]

How s getting mugged fucking it up?

I'm talking about all his no touch hook shots. Also he's been choking a the free-throw line lately.

[Paranoid Pop]

The rotation will have to be shortened or we're gambling with our chances.

[EVAY]

Well clearly the Spurs bench has met a bench that is as good or better than they are, which means that our first team is going to have to stay in quite a bit.

Gonna make the back-to-back a challenge.

[$pursDynasty]

The bench has been exposed badly.

maybe we should try a different substitution pattern in this series; maybe move Blair and Patty up the rotation and Splitter down it. This isn't the Grizz or Lakers where Blair is such a liability, he might be a better 'big' option against the Clips. there isn't a mismatch against Kenyon.

[urunobili]

very sloppy play started by ref help after the non call on the manu three

[MI21]

One funny little thing I've noticed is the irrational confidence Griffin has with Bonner on him instead of Diaw, Duncan or Splitter.

He bricks every jumper but then with Bonner guarding him, just lobs up a nice Timmy banker from 15, money in the bank :lol

[Budkin]

The fuck is going on with us?

[100%duncan]

And their bigs are hitting their FT's, how nice

[Paranoid Pop]

Bonner Diaw??

[twincam]

Splitter is one of the weakest seven footers ever.

[Josepatches_]

Bad pass and bad fault Diaw

[rasho8]

This is fuckng terrible

[Quiet Strength]

Wow this is getting ugly

[Bulwark]

2 major mistakes by Diaw

[100%duncan]

I fucking hate Young's face.

[MannyIsGod]

The clips fall on every fucking 3. Its so annoying.

[Paranoid Pop]

Pop is choking, ugly rotation.

[urunobili]

and now the refs give it to Young :rolleyes

[loveforthegame]

Tired of them sticking there leg out to draw the foul.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The fuck is going on with us?

The bench unit is blowing ass. They are not doing their job

[ffadicted]

Fucking come on

[twincam]

busted 16 point lead. ESPN will have a field day with this if they lose.

[naico]

Nick Young: is that chest hair or a tattoo?

[ALVAREZ6]

Doesn't seem like I'm watching the Spurs of late. This team is fucking retarded.

[turkish spurs fan]

easy mistakes. we should raise our motivation.

[100%duncan]

Go save their asses,TP.

[Clippersfan86]

hTis pace favors the Clippers. If it continues they have a good shot to steal one. San Antonio isn't getting any fastbreaks right now due to ball pressure of CP3+Bledsoe. They are BY FAR the best defensive backcourt we have.

[Bulwark]

Finally Duncan

[MI21]

Terrible at the moment.

This is where Pop needs the tight leash on a 10 man rotation.

These guys have killed all the momentum now, he should of came with the starters earlier..

[wut]

whats with these refs... touch calls for Clippers, Spurs getting mugged no calls.

[rasho8]

Bonner needs to show up and make some damn threes

[$pursDynasty]

ok the starters are back in

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe wreaking havoc as I said he would. He just needs to avoid fouls.

[EVAY]

Tony's getting mugged out there.

[100%duncan]

Tp9!

[loveforthegame]

It's frustrating but they have to play through the physical play and no calls.

[100%duncan]

:lmao Refs

[$pursDynasty]

can we get a dang call?

[Bulwark]

What no foul shots?

[100%duncan]

TP is really getting hacked now.

[Josepatches_]

More Duncan please

[Spurologist]

Martin??? Really?

[loveforthegame]

Ugly. Come on Spurs!

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe+CP3 defensive only allow an incredible 82 points per 100 possessions this year in the playoffs. Vinny is a fuck up for not using it more.

[Bulwark]

What's up with the messed up rotations and sitting Duncan and Leonard for 15 mins

[Spurs Brazil]

We're missing a lot of open 3s

[$pursDynasty]

they are hitting everything right now, I still blame Tiago, things went south when he came in, lol, seriously I don't think they can keep up this torrid pace, the Starters will take control of this game again.

[Fireball]

this game sucks ass now ... I am not worried, but its just not pretty to watch

[ALVAREZ6]

Main difference between game 1 and 2 is that the 3s were falling in game 1. They kept us up throughout the game. When the 3 ball isn't falling, we look average. Manu rarely drives or shoots mid range, 75% of his offense is chucking 3s.

Parker and Duncan need to have very solid games for the Spurs to win tonight.

[spurspokesman]

Stupid basketball smh. Ughhh

[Trainwreck2100]

this game sucks ass now ... I am not worried, but its just not pretty to watch

that's how the 3rd quarter was last game. Just shitty fucking play

[100%duncan]

Maybe if Tiago played against us he'd hit long J's too. Fuck you Kmart.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn spurs are just fucking up today

[The Reckoning]

this is what happens when the spurs live and die by the 3. everyone is either hot or cold...right now theyre ice cold. im worried about a okc or indiana matchup where they convert after missed shots...

[Warlord23]

Gary Neal and Matt Bonner each with a -9. The lead just evaporated with turnovers, missed rebounds and missed 3s with those two in

[Paranoid Pop]

It's mainly on Pop, the second unit is disfonctionnal, Tiago is in a funk too. But Pop got overconfident and tried to be to smart not playing Tim.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm ok with the no calls as long as they don't fall for BS like the clips 3 point flopping.

[wut]

hTis pace favors the Clippers. If it continues they have a good shot to steal one. San Antonio isn't getting any fastbreaks right now due to ball pressure of CP3+Bledsoe. They are BY FAR the best defensive backcourt we have.
Oh please...you're just like your team....disappears in the 2nd half when they get owned.

[loveforthegame]

Need better ball movement and more cutters.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, now even Tim has the stupids.

[TIMMYD!]

Kind of okay with this happening now as opposed to in the fourth quarter.

[naico]

Evans with the travel under refs eyes

[Clippersfan86]

THE GOON SQUAD! Taking over.

[Libri]

Tim don't be dumb. :/

[biskvito]

media jinx

[MannyIsGod]

Clips are shooting hotter then they will the rest of the game. If its really 18-0 Spurs in the paint then this is a good thing.

[EVAY]

Damn Tim insisting on bringing the ball all the way and not giving it somebody who won't lose it.

[spurspokesman]

Stupid bball by duncan lol

[Josepatches_]

That's it

Duncan is the key

[100%duncan]

Points in the paint Spurs 20 Clips 0. and we lead by 2. damn it

[rasho8]

Tim got hit right on the arm... That's an and1 dammit

[Horse]

We have to hit back they're not calling shit. The nba realized a celtic-spurs final is a nightmare.

[TIMMYD!]

Son of a bitch. Foye is killing us.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan. Keep taking it at them.

[TampaDude]

Neal is a turnover waiting to happen, and please STOP THE DUMB UPCOURT PASSES!!!!! THEY ALWAYS GET PICKED OFF!!!!!

[Splits]

Flops with 0 pts in the paint, they'll cool down from outside

[Libri]

Diaw taking it to Griffin. :)

[loveforthegame]

Diaw. Got damn that was beautiful.

[ShoogarBear]

Diaw needs to do more of that.

[RashoFan]

Damn, Foye is feeling them 3's tonight

[100%duncan]

Nice flop TP. Fuck you Paul.

[Bulwark]

Some of his on medicine

[MannyIsGod]

Where the fuck is the double dribble call?

[Paranoid Pop]

TP best defense on the team so far.

[Texas_Ranger]

Paul double dribbled like 20 times!

[Clippersfan86]

Superb flop Tony. Best of the series.

[Josepatches_]

TP playing very aggressive D on Paul

Bledsoe same on him

[Clippersfan86]

Tony has no shame! 2nd flop in a row.

[RashoFan]

Thanks Blake

[100%duncan]

That was really a foul on monkeyballer.

[loveforthegame]

Parker getting mauled. Ridiculous.

[Otaku]

That was a BS call

[Bulwark]

Tony wily veteran

[MannyIsGod]

Danny Green!!!!!

[angelbelow]

Parker just pulled a Stockton on Griffin.

[RashoFan]

Tony has no shame! 2nd flop in a row.

He getting flopping advice from Manu!

[100%duncan]

Greeeeen Finally!

[$pursDynasty]

what's with Timmy and all the dribblin he thinks he is Magic or somethin?

[loveforthegame]

Green. Finally.

[Death In June]

The spurs were do for a shit performance after 16 wins in a row. They'll get in rhythm as the game goes on.

[Josepatches_]

Green 333333!!!!

He was fouled

[EVAY]

Tony is much more aggressive in this game, and Paul already has 3 fouls.

[Mal]

Please RC, do everything you can to keep that kid.

[Clippersfan86]

Tony Parker with back to back Oscar worthy flops. Spurs showing Clippers how to flop the right way.

[100%duncan]

:lol Clipperfan talkin bout floppin

[rasho8]

Tony wily veteran

Nah that was a straigh flop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 3333333333333

[Bulwark]

He getting flopping advice from Manu?
From Paul

[Spurologist]

Our 3 point shots have been wide open all day. They will fall.

Greeeeeeennnnnnnnnn 33333333333333333333333333

[Manu20]

I wish Boris Diaw could play the whole 48 minutes!!

[Mal]

Tony Parker with back to back Oscar worthy flops. Spurs showing Clippers how to flop the right way.

Lol, Clipper fan complaing about flopping :lol

[Fireball]

problem is more Clippers maling the threes than Spurs not making the threes ... convert all Spurs threes from game 1 into 2s and they still win the game by 3

[$pursDynasty]

:lol Clipperfan talkin bout floppin

Somewhere Zach Randolph is laughing about that too:lmao

[Nathan89]

Tony Parker with back to back Oscar worthy flops. Spurs showing Clippers how to flop the right way.
:cry

[rasho8]

From Paul

One day Tony will master the tornado flop.

Vvvv you can keep saying that but he straight flopped.

[Bulwark]

Nah that was a straigh flop.

The grabbing of the arm and the flop... That's a veteran move: The grabbing of the arm.

[Horse]

Holy fucking shit! What do these refs want blood?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bledsoe defense is very good.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao @ the announcers trying to equate those two plays. Kawhi never extended his arm like Blake did. Thats an AUTOMATIC call.

[Mal]

Please RC, do everything you can to keep that men.

Correction, since Green is month older than me :)

[bklynspursfan]

Apparently we're flop city:


Spurs are number one in flopping. Hands down.


Amazing watching Spurs flops as well.

http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-9228-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-150.html

[Spurologist]

One day Tony will master the tornado flop.

:rollin

that flop is legendary and will live in infamy

[EVAY]

The spurs were do for a shit performance after 16 wins in a row. They'll get in rhythm as the game goes on.

This is actually a god point. But the Clips really picked up their defense in the 2nd quarter too.

Our bench really lost our lead for us and it takes some time for the first unit to right the ship after they get back in.

[GB20]

we need to close this quarter strong. don't give the clippers any hope

[stxspurs]

lol

[Uriel]

What sets this Spurs' team's 3-point shooting apart from that of previous ones is the sheer number of shooters they have. Back then, if one person got cold, usually the whole team would catch it, and it would be a case of "living and dying by the 3" with heavy emphasis on the latter

Not this season. There are just so many options getting so many good looks that we can live with an off-night from some players because there will always be others to pick up thr slack.

[Keepin' it real]

Them Clips are scrappy bunch.

[MI21]

The Spurs need to adjust to the Clippers extended there defense on the catch and throw of any pass. They are pressuring the passer and then closing out hard on the catch of the next player and the Spurs plays are being broken up because of it.

A couple of ball fakes, some back door cuts, misdirection plays and hard screens will render that useless. I'm sure Pop will recognise this.

[Holt's Cat]

Cwipper fan cry a lot

[Josepatches_]

Ginobili flop

[100%duncan]

:lmao Clipperfan will complain bout det Manu foul

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe making Tony brick shots bad.

[MannyIsGod]

Here comes clipperfan talking about flops again. Watch.

[Mal]

expirience

[The Reckoning]

calls def going spurs way now. dont like the way the offense is setting up though...

[EVAY]

In the first quarter the clips were getting one shot and done, and now we are only getting one shot and done.

[DMC]

I'm glad the Clippers are scrapping right now, else Spurs get soft by the 4th.

[WeNeedLength]

Tony can't shake Bledsoe. He needs to defer.

[Bulwark]

Vintage Tim

[Quiet Strength]

Timmy still amazes me

[loveforthegame]

Duncan lead the way.

[RashoFan]

Thank you tim

[100%duncan]

Sick pass.

[Budkin]

Pop better rip these guys a new one at halftime. This is disgraceful.

[MI21]

4-down needs to be run, tbh

[RashoFan]

And Diaw

[EVAY]

Griffin landed right on Diaw's head on that move, and no call. Then Diaw called on the other end.

[loveforthegame]

Diaw has been invaluable.

[ShoogarBear]

Cwipper fan cwy a lot
fify

[100%duncan]

You kidding me? Freethrows?

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta finish strong

[Fireball]

You kidding me? Freethrows?

team fouls

[100%duncan]

Ugly half. I blame this to our weak ass bench.

[Spurologist]

I approve of that hack-a-jordan 100% for the first time

[EVAY]

Tony can't shake Bledsoe. He needs to defer.

To whom?

[rasho8]

You kidding me? Freethrows?

Intentional foul.

[100%duncan]

team fouls

I meant, griffin was converting them. He's not supposed to.

[RashoFan]

and a miss on the FT line

[Clippersfan86]

Blake again runs away on defense instead of contesting. What a chicken shit.

[Killakobe81]

I love the spurs "BIG" commercial. "Shook ones pt II" is one of the best thug rap songs from the 90's. The song doesnt fit the spurs at ALL (except SJAX) but that track bangs and the theme about no flash, no gimmicks perfecly captures this spur team. I still hate a lot of your laker hating fan-base but I respect the hell out Pop, Manu Green and Tim. dont want yall to win it all but if you do it willbe well deserved ...

[100%duncan]

what the fuck was TD doing

[The Reckoning]

awful awful quarter...hope td didnt blow his wad the first quarter

[Fireball]

I am not used to not being on pace for 100+ points

[DAF86]

4 down to end the half?

[loveforthegame]

Sucks that was Diaw's 3rd foul.

Have to play smarter basketball in the second half. Ginobili is right. Better ball movement is a must.

[Fireball]

I meant, griffin was converting them. He's not supposed to.

thats right ... he is doing a good job on that tonight

[therealtruth]

What was the purpose of getting a third foul on Diaw for Hack-A-Jordan? Now it means more Bonner in the second half.

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a good half. TD and Boris playing well. Rest of the team have to play better

[igruex]

The Spurs miserably failed to get the ball on Manu's hands for the last 5 minutes.

[Uriel]

Manu's analysis is spot-on :tu

[spurspokesman]

My god we couldve had this in the bag by now. Stupid bball. Neal and diaw ha some bad stretches that really helped them back in. And ginobilli jacking up needless shots at times.

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[DAF86]

Hey, somebody remember Pop that that boy with the number 20 on his back is pretty good. He didn't get a single play called for him in his second stretch in the floor.

[Holt's Cat]

Time to pour an old fashioned. Purrrrr.

[vander]

Clippers D on TP forcing Spurs to change their offense

my angst is at about 9/10

[DontStopBelieving]

Spurs played about as bad as they possibly could on offense, and the clippers are making bunch of bs contested jumpers, but we are still up.

[Nathan89]

Tiago needs to step the fuck up and act like he has touched a basketball a couple of times in his life. Fucked up all momentum, imo.

Timmy needs to get more touches in the post or pnr. He need the ball and often.

Threes should start falling.

[Cry Havoc]

Clips are 5-8 from 3. Double the FTs of the Spurs. SA shooting 30% from downtown, and we're up 4. Wow.

[MI21]

More Diaw, Duncan and Jackson please.

Less Manu 3's, Parker jumpshots and Bonner defense.

[Warlord23]

Duncan + Diaw: 21 pts, 10/13 FGs
Rest of the team: 25 pts, 9/29 FGs

[Paranoid Pop]

Hey, soebody remember Pop that that boy with the number 20 on his back is pretty good. He didn't get a single play called for him in his second stretch in the floor.

When he played the point he turned into Chuckobili, also missed a lay up on a play for him.

[angelbelow]

Going into half time:

- Neal has been reduced to a liability. He needs to play the same role Green does on offense and try his best to do the same on defense.
- Splitter is still playing poorly.
- Front court in general needs to step it up. If Bonner plays in the 2nd half then he needs to continue to shoot with confidence.
- Clippers forcing us to iso and that really hurt our offense.

[The Reckoning]

I aint sayin' nuttin!

[timtonymanu]

Just tuned in. What did I miss?

[MannyIsGod]

Biggest factor in that 2nd quarter was the Clippers shooting and how it affected the pace. All in all, they played very well in the 2nd quarter and they are still down at half. I'm not worried. I expect Pop to make better adjustments at the half than Vinny.

[RashoFan]

The HEB Commercial wiith the Big 3
Call the plumber, these pipes are about to burst- Tony
I think I found a new mountain, Mount Manu- Manu
Someone call a vet, these pythons are sick-Timmy
:lol

[Mugen]

meh missed open threes. Defense is still solid.

Knock down our open shots and we should be able to get a comfortable lead going into the 4th.

[MannyIsGod]

Going into half time:

- Neal has been reduced to a liability. He needs to play the same role Green does on offense and try his best to do the same on defense.
- Splitter is still playing poorly.
- Front court in general needs to step it up. If Bonner plays in the 2nd half then he needs to continue to shoot with confidence.
- Clippers forcing us to iso and that really hurt our offense.

LOL counting on Neal for any defense just means he shouldn't play. And considering the opponents, maybe he shouldn't.

[Quiet Strength]

Just tuned in. What did I miss?

Spurs started sharp and got a big lead... bench came in and the lead went bye bye

[ALVAREZ6]

Manu's analysis is spot-on :tu

But Manu contributed to that big lead evaporation by jacking many needless 3s and that influences the rest of the team to make similar decisions. When you have a comfortable 1st half lead in 8-15 points or so, there is no need to continue jacking 3s with a lot of time left on the clock. You should continue to move the ball, waste more time, find better shots. Try to preserve the lead.

Every now and then when Manu quarterbacks the offense with a few other bench players he falls in the trap of playing desperate offense when the team needs the exact opposite.

[The Reckoning]

Mr. Tightlips would never use an exclamation point.


Did you pick that avatar or did mookie2001?


i did tbh. mookie's not creative enough.

[EVAY]

Look, at the half Tony has 8 points, three assists, three rebounds, three steals, and has been aggressive. He is fine. Tim is fine. Manu is Manu. Diaw is awesome against Griffin.

We will be okay but we must have come to the conclusion that LA 's benches better than our bench and we have to play our first team more. Isn't this why we game them so much time off during the season?

[Paranoid Pop]

Biggest factor in that 2nd quarter was the Clippers shooting and how it affected the pace. All in all, they played very well in the 2nd quarter and they are still down at half. I'm not worried. I expect Pop to make better adjustments at the half than Vinny.

Pop is the reason we lost the lead in the first place, got cocky, leash was way too long on the bench. TP and Tim are +13, the bench is getting owned since the first minute they got in this series, Pop didn't make any ajustements so far. The starters can play heavy minutes, they rested for a long time. Not like we have a choice.

Btw can someone confirm that Diaw took the fool on Jordan? Worst mistake so far if true.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs started sharp and got a big lead... bench came in and the lead went bye bye

Thanks. Yeah reading the comments it looks like the Spurs played like shit in the 2nd quarter. Still have a 4 point lead into halftime. Let's hope they step it up in the 2nd half.

[GuillermoDiazFan]

Just tuned in. What did I miss?

Spurs flopping left and right.

Also Bledsoe and Paul switching bodies.

[TampaDude]

Spurs with a craptastic 2nd quarter and still up by 4 at the half.

We should be up by 14, but I'll take it.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[angelbelow]

LOL counting on Neal for any defense just means he shouldn't play. And considering the opponents, maybe he shouldn't.

Would you go with Mills? He'll match the speed but is kind of a loose cannon.

[EVAY]

But Manu contributed to that big lead evaporation by jacking many needless 3s and that influences the rest of the team to make similar decisions. When you have a comfortable 1st half lead in 8-15 points or so, there is no need to continue jacking 3s with a lot of time left on the clock. You should continue to move the ball, waste more time, find better shots. Try to preserve the lead.

Every now and then when Manu quarterbacks the offense with a few other bench players he falls in the trap of playing desperate offense when the team needs the exact opposite.

This is totally true.

[timvp]

Not feeling too confident because game basically tied and CP3 has played HORRIBLE. If he even plays average in the second half and the Spurs don't pick it up, things can get dicey.

Get back to ball and player movement. Keep the ball pressure but pay more attention to the shooters. Get the intensity back.

Believe.

[MI21]

Mills in the playoffs would be more of a try in the first half and see how responds kind of player. I'm not sure chucking him out there towards the end of the 3rd quarter in an important playoff game is the wisest move.

[freetiago]

SA was missing their open shots
clippers were making contested 3s/midrange shots
and guys like bledsoe/martin/griffin hit some deep 2s as well which isnt their shot

[John Carroll]

I expect Pop to make better adjustments at the half than Vinny.

I had the exact same thought.

[Holt's Cat]

Fuwking Spurs need to take it to the fuwking hole and end this.

[DMC]

Not a problem tbh. Clippers likely fall in love with the outside shot and Spurs make them pay at the opposite end. I want to see less Bonner, more Tiago.

[ElNono]

lol det halftime show

[GSH]

Would you go with Mills? He'll match the speed but is kind of a loose cannon.


I had to do a quick check on that one. I think Mills would at least get a good shot up. All those possessions with turnovers, or recovered deflections leading to a brick at the buzzer sort of killed us. So I dunno... maybe I would rather have Mills in there. Better a possession with a chance of scoring, than those throw-aways.

[Whisky Dog]

The Clippers are playing hard and I take my hat off to them. They're game

Too many perimeter shots, too many outside the rhythm of the offense. If they get back to ball movement and flashing to spots without the ball they'll get in rhythm looks and start knocking them down. Need to attack the rim more as well.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol How the hell can anyone blame Pop?

[DMC]

I also want to see Manu stop taking so many 3s and take it to the hole every chance he gets.

[BillMc]

Doin' a nice job on Paul, and only up by 4... hmmm....

[MannyIsGod]

Not a problem tbh. Clippers likely fall in love with the outside shot and Spurs make them pay at the opposite end. I want to see less Bonner, more Tiago.

:lol

Bonner played poor, but did you see Tiago? He was fucking terrible.

[Paranoid Pop]

:lmao

Spurs bench > any other team's bench except full-strength Bulls

clippers hit their shots and spurs effed up a bit

spurs up at halftime

chill out, dickweed /terminator2

You're the worst poster I've come across on this website, your takes are consistently terrible.

[DAF86]

When he played the point he turned into Chuckobili, also missed a lay up on a play for him.

He rushed a three on a 2 for 1 situation, then he missed an open three, and step-back three with the clock running down. Not a whole lot of chucking there.

And the layup he missed wasn't a called play, he just took it to the rim 'cause he saw an opening, it was a good shot, he just missed it.

Manu is playing well, if he would have goten a bit more touches at the end of the second we would be up by a bigger margin by now.

[EVAY]

:lmao

Spurs bench > any other team's bench except full-strength Bulls

clippers hit their shots and spurs effed up a bit

spurs up at halftime

chill out, dickweed /terminator2

I conclude from your comments that you are not empirically inclined.

BTW, regarding your advice to me and your names for me? GFY!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If the bench can hold a plus minus of -15 or better, we got this.

The starters will do their job coming out of halftime

[DMC]

lol det halftime show
Did Spo freeze on your TV as well? That was funny. He was like "wut?" for like 5 seconds but it was a glitch.

[SpurPadre]

Since when did Blake FUCKING Griffin suddenly become Larry Fucking Bird at the free throw line?

[100%duncan]

Were outscoring them 20+ in the paint. Gotta guard the jumpshots and were go to go

[TampaDude]

That one play where Diaw tried to pass way upcourt and it was picked off, leading to 3 foul shots for the Clippers, pissed me off. We better not lose a close one tonight.

[Trainwreck2100]

seriously if the spurs are gonna lose by clippers making jumpers, so be it.

[Paranoid Pop]

:lol How the hell can anyone blame Pop?

By watching the game... would be my guess.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs are not going to lose any game where they lead points in the paint 24-4. Just not going to happen.

[Holt's Cat]

Cwis Mullin looks the same as he did twenty years ago.

[The Reckoning]

Did you manually change your title or is that a holdover?


i aint sayin' nuttin'

[John Carroll]

Spurs need to be careful here. CP3 has been subpar and he's a fourth quarter player. If he picks it up, things can get Antonio McDicey for the Spurs in the second half. Spurs need to get back to the precise ball movement they are known for, but also mind the Clippers' shooters. Have confidence.

[100%duncan]

There you go Kawhi

Spurs are not going to lose any game where they lead points in the paint 24-4. Just not going to happen.

Yeah, hopefully this will be like Game 1. The Clippers couldn't miss, then they went cold and we put them away.

Better to have your crappy quarter in the 2nd than the 4th. :lol

[DatBoyGood]

Tiago?!

[CGD]

Wow is that Tiago to start the half?

[Bulwark]

Man I hate that Splitter Guards with his face. But good layup.

[ballhog]

Griffin has no moves whatsoever

[rasho8]

Twin towers time

[Spurs9]

LOL did cp3 flop on Green before the quarter even started?

[ShoogarBear]

Duncan-Splitter starting the second half?? :wow

[Nathan89]

Splitter with the goods.

Coach of the year.

[The Reckoning]

splitter blazing through that d like the amazon tbh

[$pursDynasty]

hmmm I don't know if Pop tore Tiago a new one at halftime or is trying to boost his confidence by playin him with the starters

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good start from Splitter! Even though he has trouble holding onto the ball, Leonard needs to be more aggressive on offense.

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus this lineup is huge. Great pass and great finish there. Tiago still can't make a damn FT though.

Wonder why Diaw is on the bench? I thought he played well.

[100%duncan]

Guard the J's damn it.

[Bulwark]

Damnit Foye...
