Believe.

[TampaDude]

Blowout win for the Spurs tonight.

[Matty2Cool]

Lets do thiiiss. :ihit:ihit

[Reck]

It is imperative Spurs win this game.

Being up 2-0 will be key.

You cant go to Stables tied and have Clippers win the back to backs. That would be a critital blow.

[timtonymanu]

Gonna miss the 1st half of this game.

Win this, Spurs! :flag:

[Spursmania]

Going to the game and taking my 2 little girls. Guess I can't shout obscenities at the refs or have too much beer. Damn!

But Go Spurs Go!!! They need this win. There's no way we can afford a let down in this game.:flag::flag:

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Spurs!!!

[GuillermoDiazFan]

Good luck Spurs fans, because you're going to need it tonight.

Chris Paul doesn't miss so many bunnies 2 games in a row. Expect to see more minute of Bledsoe as he'll shut down the bald argie. Also, Memphis couldn't shoot to save their life so our magnificent team grew unaccustomed to defend the 3pt line. That was deadly in game 1, but they'll adjust.

Clippers by double digits.

[GuillermoDiazFan]

Nice pic of Elmore and Dominique, btw.

:nope What kind of Spurs fans are you raising?! Scream your obscenities and teach them to hate the opposing team with a white hot passion! :downspin:

[Spurs-Fan]

Hopefully Spurs will win this game. But Parker needs to play better this time cause CP3 won't have such a poor shooting night one after another.
GO SPURS GO!!!

[capek]

GO SPURS GO!!!

If Tony starts knocking down all those wide open mid-range jump shots that the Clips are giving him, their defensive gameplan will go up in flames like Newt's presidential campaign. And it'll be as fun to watch. :toast

[Reck]

Stopping those lobs and dunks would ne nice.

I hate when the Clippers get a dunk. They celebrate that shit like they wont some ultimate price.

[Paranoid Pop]

Stopping those lobs and dunks would ne nice.

I hate when the Clippers get a dunk. They celebrate that shit like they wont some ultimate price.

They only got 3 or 4 tbh. Defending the 3 pt line is much more of aa concern imo, we had nothing for Butler, we just got lucky he was the only one on fire.

[CGD]

This will probably the best effort the Clips give in this series.

On an different note, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around 3 playoff games in 4 nights. Wild.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

must win game! lets get it spurs

[loveforthegame]

It will be interesting to see what changes both teams make tonight.

Spurs have to play through the whistles and flops. Stay aggressive, keep attacking, move the ball, team effort on the boards, and they should win by a large margin again.

Go Spurs!!

[GB20]

all i want from the spurs is to stay healthy

[Obstructed_View]

Let's get this, beeches!

[boutons_deux]

Tonight will crush, kill any glimmer of Clipper hope

I think the alley oops are funny. Highlights are obliged to include them, then we find LAC were blown out but you never know it from the highlights.

I'll take the Ws over the dunks any day.

Jordan 3 dunks, 6 points total for the game = priceless and about sums it up. He was clearly Timmy's outclassed little bitch out there, and then LAC hopes entirely depend on two undersized guards going off and outscoring our 12-deep surgically precise attack.

[BillMc]

I'm here! 4 AM in Ukraine but I wouldn't miss this game for the world!

[icango]

which network has the pregame for the spurs?

[Clippers808]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Clippers will take Ws over the dunks any day too.

[mVp]

Yeaahhh just got home, right on time for the game :smokin

Sweep LA! :downspin:

[Manu-20]

Im thinking the spurs dont come out rusty and blow out this game early.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Been waiting for this all day. Let's get it done Spurs! :flag:

[RashoFan]

Go Spurs!!!

[Fireball]

wow Pacers

[100%duncan]

[Fireball]

UiPUI ... I am happy for George Hill

[Manu-20]

The Pacers are a much better team than people gave them credit for it dosn't suprise me they beat the heat like they did, without bosh the heat are very beatable.

[PingPong]

LOL Miami, LOL Lebron

[Spurs4#5]

[Fireball]

[Fireball]

Happy Birthday TP

[Fireball]

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

[100%duncan]

Nice D Boris.

[Spurs-Fan]

YES! Nice start from Parker.

[Knoxxx]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Clippers will take Ws over the dunks any day too.

I guess you take what you can get.

[ShoogarBear]

Sometimes Diaw drives me nuts with his overpassing.

[urunobili]

Randy Foye great look. TD missed a cheapie

[MannyIsGod]

LOL what a BS shot.

[100%duncan]

Green was wide open

[MannyIsGod]

Duncan got the ball so low there it was impossible to stop him.

[MannyIsGod]

I'll take Blake shooting that shot ALL night.

[100%duncan]

Diaw 3!

[Libri]

Diaw 33333333333333

[loveforthegame]

Good start for Duncan again.

Diaw strong on defense again. 3 ball!!

[MannyIsGod]

3 seconds anyone?

[Spurs-Fan]

Finally Diaw shoots it!

[100%duncan]

Sweet move by Tim.

[loveforthegame]

Diaw and Duncan beautiful.

[MannyIsGod]

TD just schooled the entire clippers frontcourt.

[GB20]

timmy is playing great again

[MannyIsGod]

Manu with a gorgeous look.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim getting what he wants so far.

[Libri]

Tim is beasting.

[100%duncan]

Good start on offense. A little shaky on D especially defending the 3's though.

[loveforthegame]

Parker looks better tonight too.

[spursfanincolorado]

Parker looks like he is struggling to get good looks at the rim...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy stuck his head in the clips' huddle

[100%duncan]

:lol jordan

[GB20]

kawhi looks quicker on defense

[Spurs Brazil]

Great start for TD and Boris

[Manu-20]

Good start to this game much better than last game thats for sure.

[Spurologist]

Diaw is providing a Oberto/Horry type presence with TD. Great chemistry inside

[wut]

Spurs not really clicking so far, but either are the Clippers.

[loveforthegame]

No signs of rust tonight.

Hope Splitter comes to play this game.

[Uriel]

Why are there so few people posting? Is all of SpursTalk in the AT&T Center or something?

[GB20]

:flag:

[Manu-20]

Why are there so few people posting? Is all of SpursTalk at the AT&T Center or something?
maybe so far this game is the loudest the at&t center has been all year.

[wut]

the late start doesn't help.

[MannyIsGod]

Why are there so few people posting? Is all of SpursTalk in the AT&T Center or something?

I hope so. If I was still in SA I'd be there :(

[RashoFan]

Why are there so few people posting? Is all of SpursTalk in the AT&T Center or something?

I had to get my dinner eaten before the dog takes it off my plate...lol

[100%duncan]

Tim!

[WeNeedLength]

Diaw and Duncan are working so nicely together. :tu

[TIMMYD!]

Tim again. :lol

[100%duncan]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 3333333333333

[wut]

freakin Manu!

[GB20]

manu!!

[Libri]

Manu!

[loveforthegame]

Manu!!!

[WeNeedLength]

Griffin is Diaw's bitch. :lol

[Robz4000]

Oh shit, Timmy and Tiago!

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris doing a great work on D

[rasho8]

Let's do this Tiago!

[100%duncan]

Manu what a baller.

[100%duncan]

Of course Kmart hits a long 2....

[wut]

Manu + Splitter action = golden.

[loveforthegame]

Great start. :tu

[Aztecfan03]

ginobli is money

[GB20]

wow!!

[ShoogarBear]

Damn rust. :pctoss

[Floyd Pacquiao]

great fukn start

[TheProfessor]

Very impressive out of the gate.

[Fireball]

lol at Spurs NOT clicking ...

[erikuff]

Great start offensively. Gotta pick up the defense after this timeout.

[Manu-20]

If you don't like the watching the spurs you don't like basketball their ball movement is just beautiful to watch were are really lucky to have a team like this.

[024]

spurs looking damn good

[wut]

Manu has been the difference, everyone else seemed asleep until Manu got in the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu with a nice start, shooting and passing well

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Manu is amazing

[Fireball]

Damn rust. :pctoss

:rollin

[therealtruth]

It's amazing how much better our defense is without DB giving easy baskets.

[baseline bum]

The Clippers D is painfully bad. I can't recall ever seeing Tim get so many super easy shots like that in the playoffs.

[Spurs-Fan]

lol at Spurs NOT clicking ...

:lol

[100%duncan]

Griffin getting owned by anyone guarding him.

[Spurs Brazil]

And good to see Pop put Tiago and TD together

[Spurologist]

If there's anything you can pinpoint to initiating this fast start = passing.

Fucking brilliant

[naico]

Diaw hitting only open 3, spacing, playing bad ass defense and playmaking on offense. Can't ask for more.

[BillMc]

Why are there so few people posting? Is all of SpursTalk in the AT&T Center or something?

Because, even after 15 straight games, I'm still so impressed with this team, it leaves me speechless, or, I guess, type-less...

:flag::flag:

[Uriel]

Such beautiful basketball. :cry

Please, please, please stay healthy. *crosses fingers*

[100%duncan]

The announcers pronounces it as ma-noo ginobili

[Spurs-Fan]

Diaw just plays phenomenal D on Griffin.

[bklynspursfan]

Be careful guys. Bledsoe has not yet been in. Can't fool ourselves

[Matty2Cool]

damn it bonner is in

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

splitter not giving it to bonner :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Splitter had Bonner wide open for a three.

[100%duncan]

Manu was fouled idiots.

[angelbelow]

Lol that was kind of a soft take. I want to see Splitter slam that with authority.

[ChumpDumper]

lol I don't know why Splitter even attempts any shot beyond one foot.

[ShoogarBear]

Be careful guys. Bledsoe has not yet been in. Can't fool ourselves

:lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf was that call ref?

[TheProfessor]

They're mugging Ginobili, finally get a call...

[MannyIsGod]

I wish Clipperfan was in here. :lol

[100%duncan]

:cry Bledsoe gonna win this for dem clips they said... :cry

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn Bledsoe already has his presence known

[ShoogarBear]

Vinny's between-game tweaks showing some fruition here.

[wut]

Bledsoe fouling the heck out of our guys out there.

[Aztecfan03]

Be careful guys. Bledsoe has not yet been in. Can't fool ourselves

At this rate, the Clippers savior is going to foul out.

[100%duncan]

Manu Ballin!

[angelbelow]

The small ball the clippers are rolling out is effective against our 2nd unit so far. In game one as well.

[Josepatches_]

Bonner!!!!

[rasho8]

Good foul Bonner. Mug him.

[100%duncan]

Good job Bonner. Man up against that monkeyballer.

[naico]

Anyone better than Manu in this league protecting the ball on his way to the rim?!

[Marcus Bryant]

Take him down Bonner. Good dog.

[MannyIsGod]

Blake is honestly the weakest athletic player I've ever seen. He made that foul from Bonner look like he got murdered.

[GB20]

manu looks tired

[wut]

Wtf

[loveforthegame]

Young at work again.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs need to be careful to not let this degenerate into a three-chucking contest.

[100%duncan]

Fuck that second unit.

[TIMMYD!]

Shit. From an excellent quarter to just an above average quarter in a minute.

[rasho8]

Dammit bench.... Wtf are you doing.

[loveforthegame]

Crap end to the quarter.

[Paranoid Pop]

Bench is consistently getting outplayed, like last time.

[ChumpDumper]

lol Splitter again.

Bench is ass tonight.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Splitter's been bad on both ends this series tbh

[$pursDynasty]

Clips bench made a run, I am going to blame Tiago, lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a good job by the bench

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, yeah, Splitter field goal percentage yaddayaddayadda . . . he needs to learn some power moves.

[Manu-20]

Clippers second unit just hit contested shots at the end let them chuck those up they wont fall all game, though spurs bench was pretty bad that quater.

[Fireball]

not a good end of the quarter ... but still impressive

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe comes in and lead shrinks from 16 to 8 immediately. Go fucking figure you idiot Vinny.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol tiago is just fuking up today

[$pursDynasty]

Tiago might need to move down in the bench rotation, I can't imagine Blair doing any worse and he might do better.

[100%duncan]

Fuck Mo and Young. Motherfuckin assholes.

[Uriel]

:lol deepest team in the league

[Paranoid Pop]

Clippers second unit just hit contested shots at the end let them chuck those up they wont fall all game, though spurs bench was pretty bad that quater.

Like when Mo Williams chucked to help his team drop 120 on us :lol?

[Nathan89]

Shit. From an excellent quarter to just an above average quarter in a minute.

Despite being a nice quarter point wise the ending left a sour taste.

[rasho8]

I'm going to say its Neal's fault. The ball movement stops when he is running point.

[MI21]

Pop may need to look at making an adjustment or two to the bench rotation at the end of quarters and look at having Boris or Tim in. I'm sick of Bonner not being able to outrebound Eric Bledsoe.

[BillMc]

Only on pace to beat them by 32

[100%duncan]

Bledsoe comes in and lead shrinks from 16 to 8 immediately. Go fucking figure you idiot Vinny.

Actually the 6 came from Mo and Young.

[angelbelow]

lol Splitter again.

Bench is ass tonight.

Disappointed with Splitter's effort on offense so far but don't be so hasty.

I think the Mo Williams and Bledsoe combination is forcing us to rush our offensive. Same thing happened in to game 1.

[turkish spurs fan]

ginobili wants today. so aggresive.

[Trainwreck2100]

Bledsoe comes in and lead shrinks from 16 to 8 immediately. Go fucking figure you idiot Vinny.

Mo fucking Williams is the reason it's what it is right now

[RashoFan]

Young at work again.

The announcers were saying that young needs dental work. Also,they started listing the Clippers injuries , stated they are a banged up bunch

[Nathan89]

Bledsoe comes in and lead shrinks from 16 to 8 immediately. Go fucking figure you idiot Vinny.

He didn't do anything moron.

[rasho8]

Try Blair and Patty

[spurspokesman]

Neal is god awful on D. Instant run by clips when he is in.

[ManuTastic]

Pop wanted Tiago to hack Griffin toward the end of the quarter, and he tried but the refs didn't call it. That's when LA hit a 3 then a 2. Could have been a much better close to the quarter.

[icango]

stop playing off nick young

[biskvito]

I think Splitter is avoiding the FT line

[Paranoid Pop]

I'm going to say its Neal's fault. The ball movement stops when he is running point.

Lol Manu took like four 3s at the beginning of possessions. Neither are great points and are better off the ball.

[Marcus Bryant]

No worries, Clipper D is soft and pink and wet inside.

[Josepatches_]

Lol blame the bench

It's a Manu no show

[RashoFan]

damn, Vinny del Negro got old...

[Paranoid Pop]

Chuckobili.

[EVAY]

When the second unit came in, our defense disappeared.

[Bulwark]

Ginobili Chucking

[Clippersfan86]

Actually the 6 came from Mo and Young.

It's not the points. It's his defense, attacking the boards. He is the only player defensively on the perimeter sending your players scattering. Everybody else is standing around with thumbs up their asses.

[gilmor]

Bledsoe comes in and lead shrinks from 16 to 8 immediately. Go fucking figure you idiot Vinny.

Bro, our bet is on..

[Bulwark]

We've gone cold...

[100%duncan]

Stop the threes. Attack the paint.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs need to be careful to not let this degenerate into a three-chucking contest.

[roycrikside]

Spurs too 3-happy.

[loveforthegame]

Bench losing everything the starters worked for.

[Quiet Strength]

Too many 3's. Spurs got to attack the rim.

[Bulwark]

Bonner can't buy a bucket

[Cry Havoc]

TOO MANY THREES.

Ugh.

[MI21]

To many 3's... Splitter had Bledsoe underneath and they didn't even consider lobbing it to him

[ALVAREZ6]

we suck dick when the 3 ball isn't falling.

goddamnit Manu.

[spurspokesman]

Neal sucks ass as a point

[rasho8]

Put him on his ass Manu.

[GB20]

our bench suck

[Marcus Bryant]

No layups.

[Bulwark]

Good foul by Manu. 2-Game suspension

[Warlord23]

Neal and Bonner have been worthless

[loveforthegame]

Good foul Ginobili.

[100%duncan]

Lol blame the bench

It's a Manu no show

He has 10 points,faggot.

[$pursDynasty]

best play by the bench this game, Manu's foul on Griffin, no easy baskets in OUR house

[ALVAREZ6]

What a great way to blow a great lead. :lmao Manu <3 3's.

[ShoogarBear]

No layups.

Describing the Spurs offense?

[MannyIsGod]

Offense has been terrible since Splitter came in.

[Josepatches_]

Neal isn't a PG. We knew that.

But if he can't made shots he's garbage

[angelbelow]

Not that easy to attack right now. Neal shouldn't be handling the ball right now but giving it to Ginobili is too one-dimensional.

Neal and Bonner should just spread the floor while Splitter and Ginobili run a two man on the other side of the court.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

clips are clearly daring the spurs to make 3s

[Spurologist]

Can't argue with WIDE open 3s. We need to mix in some drives too with those 3s

:pctoss

[naico]

Blake with the flop of the year

[Bulwark]

What about the original unit that build the lead.

[EVAY]

Tony has to go in because our offense just went to nothing but 3 point shots while Tony was out. The shots didn't fall, we didn't defend, and now they are back within 4 points.

[ALVAREZ6]

Oh God. Tiago at the line.

[Clippersfan86]

Clippers led the NBA in double digit comebacks this year.. doing it 16 times. They are able to get back in any game... but the Spurs WILL make you pay if you give them big leads.

[MannyIsGod]

Finally a roll to the basket and not top of the lane.

[$pursDynasty]

Tiago needs some take it up strong lessons

[Nathan89]

Splitter fucking up everything because he has no touch.

[Clippersfan86]

Bledsoe blocks a 7 footer. Regular thing for this guy.

[angelbelow]

Parker is a much needed substitution. The small backcourt of the Clippers won't affect him at all.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter come on.

[rasho8]

Splitter fucking up everything because he has no touch.

How s getting mugged fucking it up?

[spurspokesman]

Bonner in full choke mode

[MannyIsGod]

Honest question: When is the last time Tiago made a FT?

[100%duncan]

Fuck you Splitter. Bench his ass.

[Paranoid Pop]

0 point in the second, bad coaching job, so proud to have depth lol.

[Uriel]

We have gone ice cold.

[Quiet Strength]

Finally splitter

[MannyIsGod]

At least he filled the lane well. :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Splitter is the worst FT shooter in the league. I'd foul his ass every time he's next to the basket.

[rasho8]

There we go

[ShoogarBear]

Finally a shot Splitter can make.

[loveforthegame]

There you go Splitter!

[$pursDynasty]

as I live and breath Splitter with a jam????

[Josepatches_]

Splitter runs the court pretty well

[Warlord23]

Can't Bonner stay in front of KMart's decrepit old ass?

[Paranoid Pop]

The bench has been exposed badly.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs bench must do a better job. Very bad on both ends
