Game Blog: Spurs vs. Clippers - Game 2

[100%duncan]

No one can stop Tim. Get it to him all the time.

[100%duncan]

Fuck. We can't defend for shit.

[$pursDynasty]

the starters are carrying this series the Clipps are still hittin outside shots but noting in the paint, I'll take that

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Outside shooting saving the Clippers! When will they cool down?!

[CGD]

Danny Green with the timely shots tonight

[100%duncan]

Thank God, for Danny Green.

[Josepatches_]

I love this lineup

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[The Reckoning]

[ffadicted]

Get 'em!

[DatBoyGood]

Man i love green and leonard so much!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Get out Griffin! NOT IN DUNCAN'S HOUSE! GREEN!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Green is so Bowen-esque with those corner 3's.

[ballhog]

Was that some new Houdini move there by TD?

[$pursDynasty]

well SpursTalk dream starting five, is doing work to start the 2nd half

[DontStopBelieving]

Danny Green needs to be a spur for life. We better lock him up this summer

[TIMMYD!]

Danny back to back

[Spurologist]

GGrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen 3333333333333333333333333333

[Holt's Cat]

Danny Gween is a good basketball pwayer.

[mVp]

Greeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnn

[Uriel]

Danny Green is clearly the best shooter in our team.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

[NickiRasgo]

Green ballin'!

[Nathan89]

[Fireball]

[$pursDynasty]

Was that some new Houdini move there by TD?

Timmy must have been watchin, "Hot Sauce" on those old And 1 videos :rollin

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

paul still not making it happen for the clips credit goes to TP tbh

[MannyIsGod]

Also, LOL @ griffin calling for the ball when he's one on one with Duncan. He's not going to score ever in that matchup. Not sure why the hell he was calling for the ball so enthusiastically.

[Nathan89]

Keep the foot on the throat.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 333333333

[EVAY]

Pop's adjustment...start Splitter instead of Diaw on Griffin because Diaw already has three fouls and save Diaw for the second unit because the second unit needs help that Splitter can't give them. I like it!

[timtonymanu]

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.

The 3 fouls, probably.

[Brazil]

TP is playin' good D against CP3

Green has been huge with this btb 3

[ALVAREZ6]

Green's jumper is so smooth, I can't get over it. Gonna jizz in my pants if he makes a few more.

[Holt's Cat]

Time to burn some catnip.

[urunobili]

Guys, what's your take on the benching of Diaw? reinforce the bench?

[freetiago]

enjoy these moments
danny will not be a spur next season
hes getting paid big time

[Horse]

Jordan is taller,faster,stronger and younger than Timmy but TD is taking him to school.

[EVAY]

Lots of us predicted before this series that Duncan should have a HUGE series against this team and he clearly is in the MVP mode for this series.

[timtonymanu]

Guys, what's your take on the benching of Diaw? reinforce the bench?

He has 3 fouls.

[100%duncan]

Bs.

[Horse]

Guys, what's your take on the benching of Diaw? reinforce the bench?

Foul trouble that's all.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

3 fouls

[MannyIsGod]

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[ShoogarBear]

He has 3 fouls.

Also, maybe Pop didn't want Splitter out there as the only big again?

[100%duncan]

Whiiiii!

[ballhog]

Leonard!!!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I love Leonard! I loved Hill, but that was a good trade.

[Josepatches_]

This is our better defensive lineup

[bklynspursfan]

Just like Game 1

[The Reckoning]

this lineup is how it should be every game

[100%duncan]

:lol Splitter

[Holt's Cat]

:lol at Cwipper fwopping on his own teammate.

[Richie]

Does Green get offered mle money?

[CGD]

Big difference btwn game 1 and the first half of this came was the lack of production from Green and Leonard. Looks like that was a point of emphasis at half time.

[100%duncan]

Happy Birthday MVP!

[SpurPadre]

I think Pop might feel the bench offense would flow better with Manu and Diaw together. Neal is doing a terrible job of getting the ball to Manu and we all know how good Diaw passes the ball. That might be the reason why Diaw is off the bench now.

[vander]

Guys, what's your take on the benching of Diaw? reinforce the bench?

I thought we had his partial bird rights or whatever :(

[$pursDynasty]

props to DG for takin it up strong

[Drachen]

anyone hear that guy yelling?

[naico]

Cmon Danny throw the lob to Kawhi

[Spurologist]

:lmao CP3 flop in that tp fast break

[100%duncan]

Danny making every Clipper his bitch.

[Shaolin-Style]

Whos that guy screaming about blowing the whistle off camera LOL

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, who is that loudmouth on the Clipper bench?

[timtonymanu]

anyone hear that guy yelling?

Yeah what the hell is that? :lol

[Fireball]

It only takes a split of a second and the Spurs are up 10+ again

[Bulwark]

Man Paul must be really hurting..

[100%duncan]

Tp!

[Drachen]

Whos that guy screaming about blowing the whistle off camera LOL

LOL yup that guy


also how many TOs does CP3 have?

[100%duncan]

Timmy is mad. Look out motherfuckers.

[ShoogarBear]

Man Paul must be really hurting..

Yeah, I think so, too. The defense hasn't been that good.

[NickiRasgo]

lol CP3

2 Points, 3 Assists, 7 Turnovers

lol

[Bulwark]

Don't want Paul to get going...

[Josepatches_]

They can't miss from 3 point range

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Rookie play from Leonard, went for the pump fake leaving CP3 wide open.

[DontStopBelieving]

Clippers still making every single jump shot ..

[100%duncan]

Defend the 3 pt line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uriel]

Good timeout by Pop. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

2nd unit has to play better, otherwise this lead will quickly evaporate again

[rasho8]

If our bench doesn't step up this time we are goin to be in trouble.

[BillMc]

Rookie play from Leonard, went for the pump fake leaving CP3 wide open.

I'll take those mistakes from him. It's amazing to watch him improve game to game...

Like a rocket...

[Spurs Brazil]

Good timeout Pop

[Spurologist]

credit pop for starting Splitter but I'm beginning to wonder if it's solely tactical. Diaw played really well. I think Pop was just trying to turn up the D.....it's worked.

:tu

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'll take those mistakes from him. It's amazing to watch him improve game to game...

Like a rocket...
I completely agree, he has a very bright future. Even though they are expected, it's still a little frustrating to see those rookie mistakes from him.

[Nathan89]

Pop read Timvp's post about how great Bonner and Diaw play defense.

[Josepatches_]

Now Pop should sit Tiago or TD.

I'm not sure about a Bonner-Diaw lineup

[Warlord23]

When Duncan is in the game and protecting the paint as well as he is, I don't know why the perimeter defenders are cheating off their man and giving up the 3. Stay tight on them and let them prove that they can score in the paint.

[Spurologist]

Clippers 7-10 from 3.

SMH

[Brazil]

yup CP3 is probably banged up a bit but give credit to tp to make him work a lot.

[Josepatches_]

Pop read Timvp's post about how great Bonner and Diaw play defense.

We'll see

[4down]

HEY, SKINNY MAN BLOW YOUR WHISTLE!! I :rofl @Vinchenzo screaming

[100%duncan]

Bad play. Damn.

[Quiet Strength]

Dumb shot

[GSH]

Out of a timeout we have Parker shooting a 3? Seriously?

[SpurPadre]

Any chance Pop plays Mills over Neal just to give it a shot at some point in this series?

[$pursDynasty]

2nd unit has to play better, otherwise this lead will quickly evaporate again

ahh which might be why Tiago is with the starters, Pop figures he can't go with that 1st half 2nd unit, so by putting Tiago with the starters he will change the 2nd unit. It might work because that was the worst I have seen the 2nd unit look in a while

[100%duncan]

Man, Butler is tough. I'd stop hating him when were already in the WCF.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

When will Clippers' luck run out?

[Bulwark]

Finally a foul call on all that grabbing on Tim

[rasho8]

Any chance Pop plays Mills over Neal just to give it a shot at some point in this series?

I fucking hope so. Neal has been pretty bad.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Any chance Pop plays Mills over Neal just to give it a shot at some point in this series?
I hope so. Neal at PG is a joke. I love his shooting, but he can't handle the ball worth crap.

[Mal]

Fuck bledsoe

[ShoogarBear]

WTF was that???

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty much destroyed four clippers on that one play.

[Rummpd]

great play by Parker needed that.

[100%duncan]

Fuck you Butler.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Really Clippers? 8-11 from three? So lucky!

[Warlord23]

Looks like Pop asked them to switch the pick-n-roll defense in that last timeout.

[CGD]

Butler time yet again in the 3rd

[MannyIsGod]

:lol I'll take Butler shooting that all night.

[Quiet Strength]

Green with the hot hand

[ffadicted]

Holy fuck Danny Green man

[100%duncan]

Greeeeen. I love this dude! No homo.

[Rummpd]

To close for comfort but Green is really really good

[The Reckoning]

parker breaking ankles

[Bulwark]

Green is the only hitting the threes and thank God.

[bklynspursfan]

Green is the man

[Mal]

Those scrubs are playing better without Paul

[urunobili]

oh my Green will command like 7 mill per season if he keeps this up for a ship run.

[Holt's Cat]

Danny Gween makes me horny.

[timtonymanu]

GSH, I have converted.

[MannyIsGod]

I'll take Paul shooting that all night too.

[100%duncan]

:lol Clippers can't miss

[Keepin' it real]

The idiot that can be heard yelling at the refs in the background reminds me of some of you disgruntled bastards.

[ffadicted]

Holy fuck clippers and their jumpshots lol feels like 100% FG

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs outplaying Clippers, Clippers outlucking Spurs.

[Josepatches_]

I believe Pop could play Splitter-Diaw when Duncan goes to the bench.
No Bonner

[Quiet Strength]

hmm parker had green to his left

[100%duncan]

Beautiful passing

[MannyIsGod]

LOL Manu's fake.

[Bulwark]

Oh no, here comes Neal

[$pursDynasty]

Shook ones indeed, take it to them Spurs

[DatBoyGood]

Who is that on the clipper bench who gets up and throws his hands everytime we score? :lol

[MannyIsGod]

The idiot that can be heard yelling at the refs in the background reminds me of some of you disgruntled bastards.

:lmao x 304u8390483

[GSH]

That was a foul by Green, but it's the same thing they've been doing on the other end all night.

[spurs1990]

tb¬h Danny Green is a dime-a-dozen player.

[100%duncan]

Neal is in. Scary.

[Otaku]

Beautiful

[Quiet Strength]

Neal better do something good out there

[timtonymanu]

Who is that on the clipper bench who gets up and throws his hands everytime we score? :lol

That was Ryan Gomes.

[CGD]

Will Gary Neal show up? Dude has been lost this post season.

[Josepatches_]

I believe Pop could play Splitter-Diaw when Duncan goes to the bench.
No Bonner

I was right

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Sad thing is that the Spurs are winning while Clippers are 8-11 from threes!

[$pursDynasty]

wow Griff went right thru Tiago like he wasn't there

[naico]

Arena guy knows his music

[Bulwark]

Neal can score though...

[DontStopBelieving]

Splitter with the pussy shit defense on Griffin. At least put your hands up dude..

[MannyIsGod]

Need more of that from Neal to make it worth having him on the court.

[GSH]

GSH, I have converted.

:tu

[Bulwark]

Nice play by Diaw

[Holt's Cat]

Layup drill

[$pursDynasty]

is that Borid Diaw or the Iceman George Gervin because he knows how to finger roll???

[Quiet Strength]

lol neal passing with like a second left

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw is great :)

[100%duncan]

Alright. I think it's safe to say, I'll take that quarter. Decent job by the Spurs.

[The Reckoning]

diaw showing the clips a bit of his home brewed french press

[Josepatches_]

TD-Tiago / TD-Diaw / Diaw-Tiago

I like it.

[MannyIsGod]

No idea how Diaw blows past people in slow motion like that.

[rasho8]

Neal with a dumb ass idea.

[Spurologist]

Enough with the talk of Mills playing over Neal. It won't happen.

[Paranoid Pop]

So how much will teams throw at Green again this summer?

[ShoogarBear]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg

[BillMc]

TD-Tiago / TD-Diaw / Diaw-Tiago

I like it.

I like it because TD and Diaw can cover for Tiago...

[DMC]

4th quarter, Clippers start gambling for steals, shooting a lot of outside shots, so the Spurs are either in for a dogfight or they will blow out the Clipps by the 6 minute mark.

[100%duncan]

Sad thing is that the Spurs are winning while Clippers are 8-11 from threes!

That's actually a good thing.

[ffadicted]

lol neal passing with like a second left

Now now, can't taint dat 3pt% lawl

[GSH]

Sad thing is that the Spurs are winning while Clippers are 8-11 from threes!

I was wondering if anyone would get around to that. The Clips are playing as good as they can, and they are unconscious from the arc. They Spurs aren't in sync, and they're STILL kicking the Clips' asses. And if the Clippers cool off just a teeny bit from the 3P line, it's going to be a blowout.

[Uriel]

Alright. Given how awful we were from the end of the first quarter to the second, we played well in that 3rd. Hopefully our bench can blow this game wide open early in the 4th so we can keep Duncan and Parker on the bench.

[ALVAREZ6]

Danny Green is saving our asses. Without his 3's in that quarter this is a tied game heading into the 4th.

[ShoogarBear]

No idea how Diaw blows past people in slow motion like that.

I think it's because it takes them a beat to realize he passed up the shot.

[Mal]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg

Only chance to use this guy. He cant compete with Manu and Danny at SG

[TampaDude]

I was wondering if anyone would get around to that. The Clips are playing as good as they can, and they are unconscious from the arc. They Spurs aren't in sync, and they're STILL kicking the Clips' asses. And if the Clippers cool off just a teeny bit from the 3P line, it's going to be a blowout.

^ this :toast

[SpurPadre]

lol neal passing with like a second left

When the dude is supposed to pass he doesn't and when he's not supposed to, he does, WTF Neal?!

[$pursDynasty]

:lmao
I like it because TD and Diaw can cover for Tiago...

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 3rd quarter. Green, Tony and Diaw were great

Clippers making a lot of long shots. Let's see if they will have the legs to make those in the 4th

[100%duncan]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg

No.god.no.

[DMC]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

Absolutely not.

Well said. My thoughts exactly.

[SpurPadre]

It would be nice to see Stevie Jax contribute at some point this series but then again it's hard when fucking Neal is running the point when he's out there.

[Uriel]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg

No way. Neal is far less one-dimensional than Mason was.

[Trainwreck2100]

Bucher is fucking intimidated in that interview

[MannyIsGod]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg

Neal is bad at times, but RMJ was useless in his 2nd year. Neal plays well in stretches too.

[angelbelow]

Ric seems nervous lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Patty mills deserves a look this series, neal just not good match up

[Quiet Strength]

When the dude is supposed to pass he doesn't and when he's not supposed to, he does, WTF Neal?!

:lol

[Spurologist]

:lmao Ric Bucher nervous about interviewing pop

[GSH]

Hmmm, does Pop's insistence on using Neal as a PG remind you of someone else?

http://crackbillionair.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/roger-mason.jpg


I wish I could say no to that. The difference is, if Neal gets a little space, he can make something happen. Once they started picking on Mason, he was dead meat. But, yeah, it's really familiar.

[Richie]

So how much will teams throw at Green again this summer?

Mle money? Would we match it?

[ShoogarBear]

Three Spurs let Evans get that rebound.

[100%duncan]

Gary Neal baby.

[GSH]

I wish I could say no to that. The difference is, if Neal gets a little space, he can make something happen. Once they started picking on Mason, he was dead meat. But, yeah, it's really familiar.

Heh... right on cue.

Neal's an assasin.

[spursfanincolorado]

Neal wit it

[naico]

Young flopping on every fn 3

[Holt's Cat]

DeJuan Bwair shakes his head.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Put Blair in Pop! I want Blair to teach Evans what physical play really is!

[Keepin' it real]

That's the Gary Neal we know and love.

[100%duncan]

Not shooting? Fuck it

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

When Ginobili just went down, my heart dropped. Don't scare me like that Ginobili!

[DontStopBelieving]

Ryan Gomes needs to sit his ass down and quit being a faggot

[ffadicted]

lol diaw wtf was that flash move

[100%duncan]

Kmart butthurt again for the 12312513th time.

[Quiet Strength]

That was awesome from diaw

[Paranoid Pop]

Tbh hacking Tiago is a no brainer.

[GSH]

I wish Diaw would take more of those 3's. He's got a sweet stroke from outside.

Great passer, too, though.

[timtonymanu]

No way. Neal is far less one-dimensional than Mason was.

Also Neal is competing minutes with Manu and Green and is still contributing. Mason couldn't even beat out Keith Bogans and Michael Finley for minutes and rotted on the bench.

[Texas_Ranger]

c'mon splitter!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Seriously - one of these FTs has to fall by accident eventually

Oh shit there we go1

[Warlord23]

Splitter is useless at the FT line

[DontStopBelieving]

Splitter made a free throw!!

[Holt's Cat]

Flick your wist Spwitter.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ugh, Gary Neal makes one three, and he thinks he can't miss. Stupid shot Neal.

[The Reckoning]

wtf neal......chucking 3s....

[Brazil]

man spurs seem to be so tense I dont know if its concentration and focus or if they are worried

[ShoogarBear]

No.god.no.


Absolutely not.


No way. Neal is far less one-dimensional than Mason was.

I wish I could say no to that. The difference is, if Neal gets a little space, he can make something happen. Once they started picking on Mason, he was dead meat. But, yeah, it's really familiar.

I didn't say Neal was anywhere near as bad a player as RMJ. I was just comparing the forcing-feeding of PG minutes.

[100%duncan]

Diaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww

[Spurologist]

DDDDiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww 33333333333333333

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Diaw!!!!

[DontStopBelieving]

Diaw is a badass.

[ffadicted]

Holy shit what a great pickup Diaw has been

[ShoogarBear]

I wish Diaw would take more of those 3's. He's got a sweet stroke from outside.

Great passer, too, though.

Ask and ye shall receive.

[Libri]

Diaw spreading the floor.

[GSH]

I wish Diaw would take more of those 3's. He's got a sweet stroke from outside.

Great passer, too, though.


Heh... right on cue again.

[100%duncan]

Really Kmart?

[The Reckoning]

damn diaw can do it all!

[MannyIsGod]

Great follow by Splitter. He's played very well in the 2nd half.

[ballhog]

Splitter!!!

[Warlord23]

Clippers bigs uncharacteristically good with their jumpers and their free throws tonight

[100%duncan]

Fuk yo rebounding,clown.

[ffadicted]

Knucklehead plaaaaaaaaaaay

[DontStopBelieving]

lol @ neal and jackson brainfart

[CGD]

I like this Splitter-Diaw combo. I really didnt get a chance to appreciate it until tonight.

[Russo21]

diaw needs to be re-signed at the first opportunity this offseason

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

What the hell Neal? Let Jackson get that!!!!

[urunobili]

Clips bigs can't miss at the line and on their mid range J's

[ballhog]

Stephen Jackson is just not doing a damn thing!

[Uriel]

Ugh, Jack...

[TMTTRIO]

Manu can't play without Tim or Tony anymore. I don't see why we use him all by himself anymore.

[Mal]

diaw needs to be re-signed at the first opportunity this offseason

Danny Green ?

[SpurPadre]

I sense hack-a-Splitter in our near future, guys.

[The Reckoning]

diaw opening up the offense a la laissez-faire

[MannyIsGod]

I don't mind that last Neal 3 at all. Coming down if they're not going to cover him at ALL then he's got to shoot that. No one has a better pull up 3 on this team than Neal and its pretty damn good.

[bklynspursfan]

It doesn't even feel like we've played that well today. But we're up double figures. Shots are finally starting to fall. And btw, I love Diaw

[Warlord23]

Pop needs to get SJax in the post against one of their smaller guards to get him going

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

:madrun:madrun:madrun Spurs win 16th game in a row but Sportscenter is more focused on the Heat losing :madrun:madrun:madrun
