Game Blog: Spurs vs. Clippers - Game 2

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

What to do with Jackson? He hasn't done much. He's done well on defense though.

[naico]

Neal looks like he has jitters..Starting to feel the pressure.

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris playing fantastic

[Russo21]

Danny Green ?

and green. that dude's a baller for sure

[SpurPadre]

Ugh, Jack...


That was Neal's fault. You have to let your bigger guy get that board.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

:madrun:madrun:madrun Spurs win 16th game in a row but Sportscenter is more focused on the Heat losing :madrun:madrun:madrun
Not over yet.

[bklynspursfan]

Stephen Jackson is just not doing a damn thing!

He drove and kicked out to Diaw... Big play. And he's not scoring, but we're still up. He's also playing solid defensively

[jiggy_55]

Who needs Bonner if Diaw can keep playing at this high level and keeps hitting open 3s!

[Libri]

Stephen Jackson is just not doing a damn thing!

In other words, he's doing a Jefferson.

[Bulwark]

Stern in the house!

[100%duncan]

GTFO Stern.

[ShoogarBear]

He drove and kicked out to Diaw... Big play. And he's not scoring, but we're still up. He's also playing solid defensively

Three assists. Remember people were worried he was going to shoot the Spurs out of games?

[loveforthegame]

How can the Spurs not pay Green and Diaw this summer?

[timtonymanu]

You know Stern is hating every moment of this. :lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That was Neal's fault. You have to let your bigger guy get that board.
Jackson was also in position to get that rebound.

[MannyIsGod]

Better be a flagrant one

[GSH]

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


Heh. The Pacers win by 19, and they show mostly Heat highlights.

[Holt's Cat]

Stern and his date taking in the game.

[The Reckoning]

stern at the game?

shits bout to get real.

[smaka]

we got this one guys!

[Russo21]

he's good mates with tony, im sure they'll work out a way to keep boris in town. money shouldnt be such a big issue he's earning heaps anyway

[100%duncan]

:lol Williams trying to flop. :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Libri]

Wtf?!

[Brazil]

I think its safe to say that we need a church of Boris.

I'm freaking out right now... I'm tense... idk why

[angelbelow]

I think that hurt Mo.

[Spurologist]

:lol

It's amazing what WHIIII does out there. Instant D intensity

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Really? Not a flagrant?

[ffadicted]

Lenny lucky he didn't go up with that without the pump fake, mo would've taken him out lol

[MannyIsGod]

What the fuck.

[ricketts]

I rarely post but this has frusterated me to no end tonight. why is neal in the game? he has played well before, clutch in fact. But he is all over the place tonight. the three he just jacked up when he had Ginobili cutting to the corner irked me, then the turnover off the rebound just pissed me off. isnt Mills a viable option to replace him? is there a reason he cant get playoff minutes? i live in DC and havent seen him play much so maybe im missing something. but it seems like hes a calmer, truer PG.

[GSH]

That's a horse collar in football. They call it because it's a great way to hurt someone.

[Russo21]

In other words, he's doing a Jefferson.
:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Would like to see Leonard more involved on offense.

[smaka]

those bitches now trying to hurt our guys? what a douche is this Mo fucking Williams

[100%duncan]

Neal with it hatah's

[angelbelow]

Heh... right on cue again.

GSH doing some fine work? Not surprising :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Neal stepping up..

[Bulwark]

Now they start missing...

[100%duncan]

Love kawhi's hustle.

[Bulwark]

Leonard baby

[The Reckoning]

clips looking like the wind is out of their sails

[Libri]

good job Leonard

[jiggy_55]

Diawwww you beast!

[ballhog]

Boris!

[Bulwark]

Diaw havin a hella game

[GSH]

Playoff Bonner is in the house!

[spursfanincolorado]

diaw activated Horry mode

[loveforthegame]

Got damn Diaw. :tu

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I love Diaw!

[100%duncan]

Diawwwww!!!! Best big not named-duncan.

[DontStopBelieving]

Put Duncan in for Bonner tbhimho

[MannyIsGod]

:lol I guess Godsoe isn't resting

[Russo21]

damn borris wow

[Spurologist]

Diaw :wow

What can't he do?

[Paranoid Pop]

6KkrccHEAqg

[ffadicted]

There's no fucking way we lose when Diaw puts up a game like he is right now man... 10 deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

[timtonymanu]

So lucky with have Diaw. Love it.

[100%duncan]

TBH, shame on the guys who chose Turiaf over Diaw. SHAME ON YOU.

[ballhog]

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

Can't figure out why they haven't tried it

[bklynspursfan]

Three assists. Remember people were worried he was going to shoot the Spurs out of games?

Yep... I have no doubt he'll perform in the playoffs, and if is struggling to score, I know he will cause havoc on defense

[ShoogarBear]

So lucky with have Diaw. Love it.

gg MJ

[vander]

Playoff Bonner is in the house!

he needs more time to get into the flow, pop keeps putting him in just for short stints

[ffadicted]

6KkrccHEAqg

:lol:lol:lol

tha fuck

[Bulwark]

Man in and out

[100%duncan]

Finish them. Don't want to overplay the starters.

[Bulwark]

Oh great

[MannyIsGod]

Ref couldn't believe Bonner stopped Blake so he blew his whistle. What a bullshit call.

[rasho8]

That's a Terrible call.

[ShoogarBear]

Hey, did the Bonner-hair kid make it to the game?

[100%duncan]

Griffin has yet to be called for an over the back. Got damn it.

[Mal]

wtf refs ?

[Texas_Ranger]

can they please take Bonner out!

[The Reckoning]

bonner just fouls when hes being contested...

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Blake getting the calls again. Did Stern give the call?

[loveforthegame]

Good win Spurs. :tu

[MannyIsGod]

I mean what the fuck can you possibly call on that when Bonner has his hands STRAIGHT UP and Blake make s a weak move? I don't even get how you could even visualize a foul there. That's such a terrible terrible call by the ref.

[Supergirl]

come on Spurs. Close this one out.

[Russo21]

keep the core of the roster this offseason.

lose blair, bonner, anderson and joseph, maybe neal

[ElNono]

get Ginger the fuck out... come one now, Griffin is gimpy but not stupid

[Nathan89]

TBH, shame on the guys who chose Turiaf over Diaw. SHAME ON YOU.

Wow that would be embarrassing:lmao

[Russo21]

Hey, did the Bonner-hair kid make it to the game?

not sure but i really hope so

[ElNono]

I mean what the fuck can you possibly call on that when Bonner has his hands STRAIGHT UP and Blake make s a weak move? I don't even get how you could even visualize a foul there. That's such a terrible terrible call by the ref.

He's a "star"... he'll get those calls, ESPECIALLY against Matty... get a legit 7ft and it stops

[Spurs Brazil]

BS call

[Supergirl]

be honest, which did you enjoy more: the Lakers beatdown last night, or the Heat getting stomped tonight?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That was Neal's fault. You have to let your bigger guy get that board.


I mean what the fuck can you possibly call on that when Bonner has his hands STRAIGHT UP and Blake make s a weak move? I don't even get how you could even visualize a foul there. That's such a terrible terrible call by the ref.
The influence of Stern. Stars get huge reffing advantage, and Blake is a star simply because he's a good dunker and is in some dumb commercials.

[Spurologist]

Bonner has no business getting anymore minutes on the floor. Splitter/Diaw + TD the rest of the way

[Russo21]

be honest, which did you enjoy more: the Lakers beatdown last night, or the Heat getting stomped tonight?

umm to close to call lol

[ALVAREZ6]

I hate Blake Griffin. IDK why but he's such a douche.

[Mal]

TBH, shame on the guys who chose Turiaf over Diaw. SHAME ON YOU.

Glad I was the one saying Diaw to Spurs from beginnig of February

[Supergirl]

yeah NBA has to protect their biggest assets...that means weak ass players like Griffin are gonna get the star treatment before they're even really stars.

[MannyIsGod]

He's a "star"... he'll get those calls, ESPECIALLY against Matty... get a legit 7ft and it stops

Thats bullshit. That call was really really really bad. Its not Matts fault that he plays good defense and the refs bail overrated out. (I'd rather have him on the bench but I'm not going to diss him for shit like that)

Oh jesus Bonner would hit the 3 that doesn't matter.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

The ref should get a point on the box score for that free throw Griffin made.

[100%duncan]

:lol Bonner makes it when it doesn't count

[DatBoyGood]

Bonner would make it on dead ball.

[bklynspursfan]

At least Bonner hit the 3

[Supergirl]

Leonard is currently our leading rebounder this game. He has 6.

[DAF86]

:lol Bonner swishing the shot when it doesn't count. TWICE :lmao

[ffadicted]

lol @ clips complaining that wasnt a foul... ok I'll take the matty 3 instead

[rasho8]

Why is CP3 dancing?

[Spurtacus]

I feel bad for Bonner there.

[100%duncan]

Timmy. That was money.

[DontStopBelieving]

Bonner finally makes the shot but it doesn't count. :lol

[Josepatches_]

Duncan is the best midranger shooter of the team right now

[ShoogarBear]

be honest, which did you enjoy more: the Lakers beatdown last night, or the Heat getting stomped tonight?

Somebody should ask David Stern that question.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs are on a mission!

[Supergirl]

Spurs close to closing this one out...

[ElNono]

Tony Parker

[ffadicted]

nice possession by tony

[bklynspursfan]

Dam TP

[100%duncan]

TP9 Schooling CP3 how to dig it.

[CGD]

Sad thing for the Clips is that I actually think they played well...

[NickiRasgo]

Timmy. That was money.

Hey. Where are you watching right now? F*ck Studio 23.

[Libri]

TP! :chestbump

[Brazil]

TPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP happy b day

[GSH]

The influence of Stern. Stars get huge reffing advantage, and Blake is a star simply because he's a good dunker and is in some dumb commercials.

I don't know how to tell you this, but the calls and no-calls are pretty even.

[MannyIsGod]

No fucking clue why Blake Griffin thinks he can score on Duncan in the post. Old Duncan D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Griffin's offense in the half court.

[Keepin' it real]

Ball game, bitches.

[Uriel]

This game is over. Hopefully Vinny sits his starters so we can do the same.

[Holt's Cat]

Reggie Evans with the scarecrow.

[Matty2Cool]

Tp9

[Fireball]

game over ...

[Crookshanks]

Great play by Tony!

[ALVAREZ6]

Reggie Evans :lmao
that replay made him look like such a retard :lmao, played like a statue and stayed put, arms and everything, until Parker was already at the rim :lol

[The Reckoning]

parker putting on his own cotillion out there

[DatBoyGood]

lol evans standing there like a tree

[loveforthegame]

Poor Clippers thinking they have a chance in this series. Spurs shitting all over them. Just toying with them really.

[td4mvp21]

Pop needs to close with Splitter-Duncan or Duncan-Diaw.

[NickiRasgo]

Game over?

I'm surprised that BG has only 1 rebound.

[NASpurs]

Just another thing in the way of the buzzsaw, nothing to see here.

[Supergirl]

Somebody should ask David Stern that question.

yeah, Stern would probably have a heart attack if the Pacers and the Spurs both made it to the Finals. Two smallest markets in the NBA.

[Spurologist]

need an update on the points in the paint disparity now. It's been growing.

[jiggy_55]

Toooonnnnyyyyyy fucking Parker! This one is over

[ffadicted]

Not often you blow out a team that shot over 10 threes and made 67% of them

[MannyIsGod]

TP is showing he's better than Paul (again) and all the talk is going to be about Paul being "hurt". Where was the talk of our injuries last year when Memphis beat us? Yeah, exactly.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

yes damnit!!!!!

[Uriel]

Hey. Where are you watching right now? F*ck Studio 23.

Isn't it on BTV?

[EVAY]

I wish Parker had given that ball up to Bonner open in the corner, but it was clear that he was so pissed about not getting the foul call earlier he was going to score or get fouled in the process. Aggressive move. Can't really blame him for being pissed off.

[Mal]

Pop, dont do something stupid, like putting reserves right now

[Spurologist]

Somebody should ask David Stern that question.

:lmao

[ffadicted]

yeah, Stern would probably have a heart attack if the Pacers and the Spurs both made it to the Finals. Two smallest markets in the NBA.

Sad thing is that it's actually so likely lol

[Nathan89]

Whoever bumps a thread where people mention if they want Turiaf or Diaw is my hero

[Spurs Brazil]

great move Tony!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I don't know how to tell you this, but the calls and no-calls are pretty even.
I was simply referring to that one foul on Bonner.

[NickiRasgo]

Isn't it on BTV?

We don't have BTV. F*ck Global Destiny Cable, f*ck Sky Cable. :lol Good thing I was able to watch it on my iPod Touch 4G.

[jag]

the influence of stern. Stars get huge reffing advantage, and blake is a star simply because he's a good dunker and is in some dumb commercials.

gnsf

[Holt's Cat]

Where Cwipper fan now? Must be eating litter out of the litterbox again.

[GSH]

I was simply referring to that one foul on Bonner.

Yeah, that one was bullshit.

[DontStopBelieving]

Lets just throw the ball into Timmy an have him close this game.

[Supergirl]

Interesting to note that even though Kawhi is the only starter not in double figures, he's currently got the third best +/- when he's on the court, after Parker and Duncan. That's a credit to his defense, his energy, and his hustle. He's an intangibles guy. Love him.

[Russo21]

why u shoot the three ball tony

[ffadicted]

16 straaaaaaaaaight

[100%duncan]

Fuck you Griffin.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Please be OK Parker!

[DatBoyGood]

wow griffin

[Holt's Cat]

Bwake Gwiffin is a pussy.

[ShoogarBear]

TP is showing he's better than Paul (again) and all the talk is going to be about Paul being "hurt". Where was the talk of our injuries last year when Memphis beat us? Yeah, exactly.

This is about the worst I've ever seen CP3 play; he's got to be hurt. Yes, he's annoying, but his ability and competitiveness are beyond question.

[Supergirl]

Flagrant on Griffin? What happened?

[TIMMYD!]

Don't think he deserved a flagrant tbh

[wut]

with as physical as this game has been, I'm surprised Spurs are going to score 100.

While I don't think that was a flagrant on Blake, I think the game was getting out of hand due to refs lack of calling it earlier in the quarter. imo

[The Reckoning]

fuckin boomer

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Hey Griffin, Parker's head isn't the ball dumbass.

[loveforthegame]

Damn Griffin. Trying to decapitate him? FU.

[Spurologist]

Head/neck shot is automatic tech in today's NBA. STFU Griffin

[MannyIsGod]

That is a weak flagrant one but the refs were probably tired of the hard fouls by the clippers. Mo Williams' foul earlier was worse, IMO.

[NickiRasgo]

why u shoot the three ball tony

Time winding down.

[Russo21]

Please be OK Parker!

whyd u write that did tony get hurt?

[Crookshanks]

Blake is a bitch! He didn't even go over to Tony and try to help him up.

[Fermixalot]

How much longer do you leave the starters in? Can't give the Clippers too much time to make a run at the end.

[ALVAREZ6]

I actually agree with Blake tbh, and Parker traveled too :lmao

[100%duncan]

:lol Parker killing em. Fuck you Clips bitches. Fuck you overrated clown griffin.

[GSH]

Somebody needs to mention how good Kawhi has gotten about not biting on ball fakes, and not leaving his feet. For a rookie, it's just amazing.

[NickiRasgo]

Tp!

[100%duncan]

:lol Griffin

[ElNono]

we win!

[Capt Bringdown]

FFS, get the starters outta there

[100%duncan]

Somebody needs to mention how good Kawhi has gotten about not biting on ball fakes, and not leaving his feet. For a rookie, it's just amazing.

Yes he and green. Tons of upsides on both ends.

[DatBoyGood]

10 more to go! :lobt2:

[NickiRasgo]

Griffin acting.

[vander]

Don't think he deserved a flagrant tbh

when I saw it live I thought it was a clean block, but I guess there was a little contact, TP definitely getting star treatment today

[ffadicted]

Blake Griffin with 1 rebound lol

[loveforthegame]

Want to see a Mills 3 now.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Why are we still playing Duncan when we're up by 17 points with just two minutes remaining??????

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

whyd u write that did tony get hurt?
He took a shot to the face from Griffin and was on the ground for a bit, but he's perfectly fine.

[MannyIsGod]

This is about the worst I've ever seen CP3 play; he's got to be hurt. Yes, he's annoying, but his ability and competitiveness are beyond question.

I think he's hurt too, but he's out there playing. I just hate the way the media focuses on it.

[NickiRasgo]

Leonard and Green together was really solid given that they're both rookie (yeah Green is not a rookie but in a way, he is). Hopes they keep Green this off-season.

[mVp]

Good, just win the next one, and this series is over.

[Russo21]

He took a shot to the face from Griffin and was on the ground for a bit, but he's perfectly fine.

thanks for the info :toast

[TMTTRIO]

I know Manu didn't play well but has Manu finally gotten bad enough that he's on the end of the bench. Manu's minutes keep shrinking and he's playing fewer and fewer. Now the minutes he gets is when the game is pretty much out of reach.

[Spurs Brazil]

Big win.

Boris was great, another huge game. Tony played much better and TD and Green were fantastic

[TIMMYD!]

Does Young ever miss from 3?

[100%duncan]

Goggles!

[Bulwark]

Milllssss!!

[spursfanincolorado]

[ffadicted]

Want to see a Mills 3 now.

lol

[ShoogarBear]

Patty Mills has no conscience. :lol

[Libri]

Blair is now limited to garbage time.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Want to see a Mills 3 now.


You got your wish.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Bonnor scored!!!!

[spursfanincolorado]

red rocket ballin

[loveforthegame]

Bonner. :lol

[Holt's Cat]

Bonner with the left hook to finish them off.

[Spurologist]

Bonner with a lefty jump hook?? :rollin

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If I was told before the game that the Clippers will shoot 70% from three, I would've guess the Spurs would not have won this easily.

[Russo21]

good game, 6 down with 10 w's left. but one game at a time

[The Reckoning]

:cry I'm gonna limp so people feel sowwy fo me :cry

[angelbelow]

Somebody needs to mention how good Kawhi has gotten about not biting on ball fakes, and not leaving his feet. For a rookie, it's just amazing.

Overall I agree but Kawhi had a couple of fly bys tonight.

[urunobili]

too many comparisons with 04. I know it's a different team but I'm so anxious for the next win TBH

[Capt Bringdown]

Blair is now limited to garbage time.

Isn't it wonderful?

[timtonymanu]

Nice! Now win the B2B. I'll settle for a split there, tbh.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Solid win Spurs. After that nasty second quarter, I liked their performance in the second half. Looking forward to Saturday!

[Mal]

great win, 10 to go

[wut]

16 in a row is pretty amazing...I don't think that can be stated enough.

[Russo21]

too many comparisons with 04. I know it's a different team but I'm so anxious for the next win TBH

exactly

[GSH]

Leonard and Green together was really solid given that they're both rookie (yeah Green is not a rookie but in a way, he is). Hopes they keep Green this off-season.


One of the Spurs owners said this week that his biggest concern is whether they are going to be able to keep Green.

[Libri]

Isn't it wonderful?
:tu

[Spurtacus]

Great game tonight. It wasn't perfect nor pretty in a couple of stretches.

First highlights on ESPN are the Spurs. :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

[Knoxxx]

Someone explain our situation with Green, I believe we have some form of Bird rights.

[Russo21]

now go get game 3!

[SpurPadre]

If the Paper Clips weren't making so many lucky jumpers, the Big 3 would have rested the entire 4th quarter...oh well, I'll take the eventual beatdown we gave 'em anyways.

[GSH]

LOL Chris Mullen. He says the Clips have to do something to get some Space for Chris Paul - "some guys are going to have to hit perimeter shots..."

Are you kidding, Mullen? Did you watch the game? They were 9-13 from the 3P line. If they need to do better than that, they should just go fishing now.

[roycrikside]

"Spurs are a soft, 3-pt shooting team that lives by the 3 and dies by the 3."

Points in the paint: 50-18. Clips shoot better percentage from 3, more FTs, still get spanked.

[ALVAREZ6]

LOL Chris Mullen. He says the Clips have to do something to get some Space for Chris Paul - "some guys are going to have to hit perimeter shots..."

Are you kidding, Mullen? Did you watch the game? They were 9-13 from the 3P line. If they need to do better than that, they should just go fishing now.

He blows as an analyst, he's no more observant than a casual sports fan, not even a casual NBA fan.

[roycrikside]

"Spurs are a soft, 3-pt shooting team that lives by the 3 and dies by the 3."

Points in the paint: 50-18. Clips shoot better percentage from 3, more FTs, still get spanked.

Points in the paint: Spurs 50, Clippers 18

[SpurPadre]

I know Manu didn't play well but has Manu finally gotten bad enough that he's on the end of the bench. Manu's minutes keep shrinking and he's playing fewer and fewer. Now the minutes he gets is when the game is pretty much out of reach.

Ok, stop with the overreacting. The guy had 22 points in 26 minutes in Game 1. He struggled tonight but he continues to be a part of THE BIG 3. End of the bench?! Stop with that BS.

Thanks for showing class, Clipper fan. I'm sure Game 3 will be tough. You guys hit some tough shots tonight and I'm sure you guys will carry that into your home court on Saturday. We'll see what happens.

[Spurologist]

Pop answer on Splitter starting the second half is simply Diaw has 3 fouls.

Thanks. If the WCF were Clippers vs. Lakers, I'd be rooting for the Clippers to sweep the Lakers.

[TampaDude]

This was a 17-point win that could easily have been a 30-point win.

We should at least get the split in LA, hopefully a sweep.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Thanks. If the WCF were Clippers vs. Lakers, I'd be rooting for the Clippers to sweep the Lakers.

WERD...no hate for the Clippers here...they don't give up...you gotta play 48 minutes against those guys. :toast

[spursfan1000]

I'm concerned about sjax offense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

17 point win on a night where the Clips shot 70% from three. :lol

[Knoxxx]

Man y'all are a well oiled machine, only better. You have every reason to be talking finals right now. Someone put up a thread! Lol

#legit

Good game. Didn't seem pretty, yet win by 17 we'll sure take it.

I thought we missed some easy shots, especially in the 2nd quarter, yet "cooled" down to 40% from 3 and still hit ten of them.

Clippers are having to hit difficult outside shots just to keep it respectable. Does not bode well for them heading back LA.

[SpurPadre]

I'm concerned about sjax offense.


He only had a couple shot attempts tonight. The team needs to make a more concerted effort in getting him involved in the offense when he's out there and it starts with Neal being a chucker instead of looking to Jax and Manu like he's supposed to. I mean, I know Neal has a great jumper but he needs to know the personnel out there and accept the fact that he's being asked to run the point to spell TP.

[Knoxxx]

I'm concerned about sjax offense.

That's the only thing preventing a total route right now. I think he will step up in LA, and we keep winning by +/- 20 points. I just don't see anywhere LAC have an advantage they can exploit.

[timvp]

TP looks like one of those guys who knocks on my door.

[TampaDude]

17 point win on a night where the Clips shot 70% from three. :lol

Yup...but for that ridiculous performance from 3 by the Clippers, this is a 30-point laugher tonight. :toast

[TampaDude]

Oh, BTW...Manu should have been shooting 3 FTs on that "tipped out of bounds by the Clippers" play in the first half. :lol

[DRclipper]

Good game. Didn't seem pretty, yet win by 17 we'll sure take it.

I thought we missed some easy shots, especially in the 2nd quarter, yet "cooled" down to 40% from 3 and still hit ten of them.

Clippers are having to hit difficult outside shots just to keep it respectable. Does not bode well for them heading back LA.

yeah i figure our squad is still a work in progress. we dont have an offensive post presence and our post defenders are just relying on grit right now.
not to mention we have no purpose on offense when the predictable PnR is denied.

that being said, i was surprised how well/easily you've dismantled us considering we matched up pretty well in the regular season. blake handled timmy pretty well during those 3 encounters. what frustrates me the most is that our 2 horses are nowhere near effective due to injury (blake's game relies on athleticism and power and chris needs that jab step and quickness in the paint). take that away and we're just a mess right now.

but no excuses. the spurs are rolling.

[DMC]

When people say the game wasn't pretty, I don't get what they mean in tonight's instance. The Spurs moved the ball well, fought through the Clippers comeback attempts and crazy outside shooting, fluke FT shooting and all that, and though they got down to a 3 or 2 point differential at one point, the Spurs spread it to 10 and kept it around there for most of the 2nd half until it became gamble time for the Clippers.

This is the second round, you're not supposed to blow teams out, you're supposed to meet resistance, to have rookies and new acquisitions who freak out and turn the ball over, but the Spurs had little to none of that. It was well controlled. Sure we could have beaten them by 40 if every single thing went our way, but this isn't a video game.

yeah i figure our squad is still a work in progress. we dont have an offensive post presence and our post defenders are just relying on grit right now.
not to mention we have no purpose on offense when the predictable PnR is denied.

that being said, i was surprised how well/easily you've dismantled us considering we matched up pretty well in the regular season. blake handled timmy pretty well during those 3 encounters. what frustrates me the most is that our 2 horses are nowhere near effective due to injury (blake's game relies on athleticism and power and chris needs that jab step and quickness in the paint). take that away and we're just a mess right now.

but no excuses. the spurs are rolling.
You made excuses then you said "no excuses". If you mean what you say, you won't put excuses in your post. We all know who's injured.

just an acknowledgement of where my frustration comes from, chief.
no excuses - i can only base it on what was on the court and we were clearly outclassed.

D. Green was huuuggee in this game

Whenever the Clips got close, he'd hit a big 3 to give the spurs a cushion, plus his usual activity on the defensive end , man he's everywhere... (and to think he probably wouldnt be in the rotation right now if manu didnt get injured)

Also Diaw played terrific, just a great all around game from him, it was beautiful to watch diaw/duncan lineup

You sound like Vinny: "We don't make excuses" then he goes on to talk about who's injured or tired. Same is true for Spo.

What frustrates me is that you are making excuses.

But I don't accuse people of making excuses, sport.
