Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Game 4

[100%duncan]

Put Kawhi back. We need rebounds, energy, and 3's

[Brazil]

thats a good test, lets see what we can do

[Spurologist]

Kawhi for Bonner ASAP pop.

[JohnnySixString]

Can the Clippers really pull a backdoor sweep?

Does anyone REALLY want to fucking find out????

[wut]

Pop insisting with Green on CP3 I dont get it
exactly, didn't he watch the 3rd quarter....it's starting to get embarrassing.

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs have to do a better job keeping Bledsoe out of the paint, the Clips are good practice guard wise (Bledsoe/Paul) for simulating the Westbrook/Harden combo next round

[007nites]

Get that ball to Timmy in the low post.

[hooperflash]

That timeout will work wonders for us , just watch :)

[ballhog]

Spurs are sleepwalking now. Parker needs to play some D.

[Uriel]

The Spurs could actually lose. :wow
Haven't felt this way in a month.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't see how SJax or Splitter can get decent grades for this game tonight, I am just holding out for a win. When Splitter is having a bad game I don't know why Pop doesn't go Dejuan, though.

Not sure why you think Splitter's been bad - except for a couple of poor defensive rotations, I think he's been fine.

[007nites]

Timmy needs to throw more fakes at Jordan.

[100%duncan]

Be thankful this isn't Game 3 either. Imagine if the Clips and Spurs played this way last night.

That's scary,tbh.

[Quiet Strength]

Splitter is having a pretty good game

[DMC]

Clippers are going to go cold sometime, and as long as the Spurs keep it close, it's good enough to squeak by.

[Paranoid Pop]

Pop trying to neuter Kawhi tbh.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why is Neal still in the game?

[Spurologist]

Why is Bonner still in????

[PingPong]

Clippers are defending very well, tbh

[loveforthegame]

Neal doing his best to help Duncan.

[Knoxxx]

Manu can't shoot anymore

Amnesty manu?
worst salary next year

[ballhog]

No Leonard out there ?

[Texas_Ranger]

Why is Neal still in the game?

cause he's the only one who's making shots

[007nites]

Neal over dribbling is the worst thing that could possibly happen

[100%duncan]

Fuck it Bonner. Fuck you.

[timtonymanu]

Go ahead and ejaculate, Clips.

We're blowing you out in Game 5.

[Brazil]

wtf bonner is doin' out there seriously?

[Libri]

Get Bonner out of there!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I hope Pop isn't trying to teach Leonard a lesson because that was a bogus T!

[100%duncan]

Fuck it Pop. Get Diaw in or hack Jordan/

[Kuestmaster]

WTH is doing Bonner there? GTFO

[Juggity]

Hack-a-Jordan, please.

[loveforthegame]

Bonner smh.

[LakerHater]

Spurs playin NO D!!

[wut]

Jordan just taking a shit on Bonner....how much more do we have to bare?

[BatManu20]

Bledsoe is making Parker look like a scrub. Come on Tony

[007nites]

We better start fouling Jordan

[100%duncan]

We need Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner trying to defend DAJ is an EPICFAIL. :lol

[noles1983]

just lose already clippers, if this goes to game 5 your just gonna get curb stomped in SA.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Put Blair out there instead of Pop! Bonner just standing under the hoop on defense doing nothing! I know Spurs fans have been asking for this for years, but please trade or cut Bonner!

[Bulwark]

Bonner the closer...

[JohnnySixString]

Playing like shit and losing is probably a good thing for this Spurs team right now.

[100%duncan]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu Bonnnnnnnerrrrr

[spurs1990]

Fuck he put Ginobili back in the game???!

[Budkin]

Every headline tomorrow will be "Clippers find blueprint to beat spurs!"

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can the Clippers really pull a backdoor sweep?

Does anyone REALLY want to fucking find out????

No, they can't, not against this Spurs team anyway. That's all that needs to be said.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner just drop dead

[BatManu20]

OMg get Bonner the fuck out of the game. Seriously Pop?

[Brazil]

hack a regie evans :lol

[100%duncan]

Aight. Hack hack hack.

[Bulwark]

Yes, hack-a-Evans/Jordan/Sometimes Blake

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hack a Reggie

[Spurs Brazil]

this game will take a while now :lol

[Kuestmaster]

Hack-a-reggie. About time

[Spurologist]

Bonner defense is hacking :lmao

[Russo21]

evans and griffin in for the clips? its tim duncan time

[Brazil]

now I understand why bonner is still in the game

[DatBoyGood]

this is the type of game we needed tho...down to the wire instead of cruising victories.

[GSH]

The difference is they've always had several stretches where we held them scoreless for minutes at a time. Tonight they can't get a stop to save their asses. They could still score around the 100 mark. It's letting the Clips get 100+ that will be the difference.

[wut]

we needed Kawhi a whole quarter ago.

[DMC]

I realize this is a strategy but I'm not watching it. I'll check back later.

[Paranoid Pop]

Bonner wont be able to secure the rebound if he misses.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Thank you Green!

[noles1983]

green 333333333333333333333333

[hooperflash]

Danny!!!!

[spurs1990]

Big shot green!!!

[Brazil]

[Bulwark]

[100%duncan]

Greeeeeeen is a clutch motherfucker.

[loveforthegame]

Green with a big 3!!

[bklynspursfan]

Big shot Green

[DatBoyGood]

Green! cluttch!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Danny Green THANK YOU sir!

[Crookshanks]

Some of you just need to take a chill pill; or take a lesson from Timmy and not get too high or too low. Spurs have won 17 in a row - did you really think they weren't going to have a let down sooner or later? You're so great at being couch coaches - how about just chillin out and watch the game.

The Spurs are not pathetic and Manu doesn't need to be traded - just chill, man

[Juggity]

Danny is the motherfucker

[Quiet Strength]

Great coaching.. Fuck the clippers!

[lefty]

3333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green 333333333333333333333333333333

BALLS OF STEEL

[$pursDynasty]

[ace3g]

big time 3 from Green!!!

[Spurologist]

FUCK YEA

GGGGGrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn 333333333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 333333333333

[spursparker9]

church of Green!!

[GSH]

Danny effing Green!!!! And it's tied.

[DAF86]

Let's do this.

[ballhog]

Green for 333333333333333333333333333333333333

[DPG21920]

I have mixed emotions about the Spurs!

[Kuestmaster]

We are there. Nice guys, nice.

[Slydragon]

Show me the money......Green for 3

[007nites]

yes! yes! yes!

[jestersmash]

Great poise from Green knocking down that shot. This is great experience for our young guys.

[ffadicted]

Church of Dannyyyyyyyyy

[Floyd Pacquiao]

dannys got balls

[timtonymanu]

Bonner trying to defend DAJ is an EPICFAIL. :lol

Which makes me more thankful we have Diaw in the mix. Otherwise, Bonner and Blair would be on Griffin/Jordan all game.

[siraulo23]

cold blooded mutha greeeeeeen

[jiggy_55]

Yes! Tie game! Let's finish this series off!

[Arcadian]

I have mixed emotions about the Spurs!

Haha, that's an honest assessment.

[Spurs Brazil]

I'd do a Hack-a-Griffin now. Let's see how he does under pressure

[NickiRasgo]

Nice Green!

[GSH]

I realize this is a strategy but I'm not watching it. I'll check back later.

It's the only stop we've gotten in a long time. We'll let you know how it came out.

[turkish spurs fan]

my favourite colour is green after danny green's laast 3 pt : (

[timtonymanu]

I have mixed emotions about the Spurs!

I love and hate them!

[Quiet Strength]

i just looked like an idiot doing shadow punches in the air alone in mah living room

:lol

[Brazil]

I have mixed emotions about the Spurs!

:lol

[007nites]

I expect the us to post up Griffin with Tim now since Butler is in at PF.

[joeSpurs]

Danny is money !!! re-sign him now.

[Spurs Brazil]

They will play small ball now to avoid the fouls. We need to attack all the time

[wut]

tbh a lot of people are blaming Manu, but it's Parker who is unable to beat his man, then gives the ball to Manu who is then forced to jack up a three or give the ball to Duncan.

The fix for this of course is having more motion on the offense with guys like Kawhi....who is sitting thanks to Pop.

[icango]

cmon now play some d...need a stop

[T Park]

Want to end the Hack strategy? Make a ft, otherwise, there's no defense against it.

[Uriel]

Man, that Hack-A-Reggie strategy is so powerful. It had several implications right off the bat:

1. 2 missed FT's led to a stop
2. The ensuing fastbreak led to a 3
3. Del Negro will be forced to put in Butler
4. The lack of Evans will mitigate the Clippers' ability to defend and rebound

Green is seriously outplaying Manu this playoffs

[hooperflash]

[tediousj]

Where would the fun be with that? Everyone here would be like this:

"Cool shot"

"yep"

"We turned the ball over"

"gotta watch that"

"yep"

"Good cut"

"yep"

"we're down 8"

"yeah, I guess we need to step it up a bit"

"yep"

[100%duncan]

Fuck you Paul.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Brazil]

Why in hell Green is defending CP3 !? TP did such a great job on him the whole serie...

[ballhog]

Clippers getting every lucky bounce tonight

[Spurs Brazil]

[DatBoyGood]

Good way to answer

[100%duncan]

Fuck. Great ball movement.

[DPG21920]

[loveforthegame]

Nice pass and finish.

[NickiRasgo]

Lucky shot. -_-

[ace3g]

great play and great D by Timmy

[Crookshanks]

If the Clippers can make shots like that, then it's their night to win. Not much you can do about them making circus shots.

[DMC]

yep

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

SPURS LOST! I hate the Spurs!!!!!

[ffadicted]

[Spurs Brazil]

TP big finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Huge block by Duncan and Parker with a sweet finish.

[DMC]

Foye for the game winner tbh

[Juggity]

Hell yes.

Tony, Tim are taking the team on their back.

[DatBoyGood]

Gotta love the bench's reaction!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Superb passing once again.

[Brazil]

TP taking over, was bout time

[GSH]

Tony missed a bunch of those teardrops in this game. In the clutch, it didn't even move the net.

[BatManu20]

Let's Go Tony!!! Finish this shit

[Keepin' it real]

Perfect dress rehearsal for the WCF.

[baseline bum]

Spurs win! It's Lawler's Law.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

mvParker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[007nites]

Tp!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think kawhi has family behind the spurs bench. Two people wearing kawhi Jerseys

[TDomination]

woooo!!! this is the most emotion ive shown in these playoffs, i'm yelling and clapping crazy loud. my dog began barking lol

[Kuestmaster]

Nice defense Timmy. Nice offense Tony

[Budkin]

Tp!

[siraulo23]

tp closing f yessss

[DBMethos]

Good to see Blair cheering hard for the guys.

[Arcadian]

Tim Duncan is fucking kicking ass. When he isn't scoring, he is making the perfect pass that leads to a score. Then, on the other end of the floor, he is blocking shots and keeping them in play.

This is a dominant performance.

[hooperflash]

Love the enthusiasm we're seeing from the team

[DPG21920]

Im not sure what to think about this. Part of me wants to be happy, but my other side is saying "hold on one second there, buddy".

[SA210]

Is it a turnover when the ball hits top of backboard?

[NickiRasgo]

Clutch Spurs.

[TampaDude]

Can we please get a fucking stop here? Just one...fucking...stop!!!

[Libri]

:chestbump

[icango]

:king
tony mother fucking fucking parker

[turkish spurs fan]

duncan was great today. who said that he is 36?

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Get a defensive stop. Just have to hold down the fort for a little longer.

[NickiRasgo]

Is it a turnover when the ball hits top of backboard?

It's still on the top and front, not on the back.

[ballhog]

Gotta love Pop. Goes to the hack-a-dude, Clips lose big lineup, Spurs go small,

[Fireball]

popovich says

small ball eh?

i teengk i ken neal wit dettt

Perhaps he wants to force them into small ball by doing the hack-a-big strategy ... I guess he likes small ball with Kawhi on the floor

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Glad to see TP taking the teardrop from 11-14ft, because he'll need to do the same to get it over Ibaka in the OKC series.

[DMC]

I still say Randy Foye with the game winner tbh fwiw I said.

[DatBoyGood]

I think kawhi has family behind the spurs bench. Two people wearing kawhi Jerseys

Isn't he from the L.a area? I think compton

[marini martini]

ha!

[Spurs Brazil]

damn

[Slydragon]

Bullshit

[100%duncan]

Green shouldve took the 3.

[Quiet Strength]

Damnit green should have taken the 3

[TampaDude]

OT coming up!

[wut]

now refs helping Clippers, offensive foul my ass, flop!

[hooperflash]

Lol refs suck

[noles1983]

offensive foul??? flop city

[Brazil]

Griffin' is taking flop lessons from CP3 :lmao

[icango]

thats some shit

[LakerHater]

Fuck that!!

[loveforthegame]

Needed a basket. Damn.

[DMC]

duncan was great today. who said that he is 36?
36 is so young.

[Knoxxx]

Surgical big 3 play.

Huge griffin flop

[BatManu20]

Greeen don't force it! Stay in your role!

[DMC]

lol

[100%duncan]

:lol Can't touch paul again on crunch time

[baseline bum]

Damnit, Green shouldn't have passed up that open three.

[Quiet Strength]

lol bullshit. Refs keeping them alive

[marini martini]

flip floppin :mad

[ballhog]

Jeez. Giving Paul all these FT's.

[DMC]

Different team when they aren't banged up as much.

[DatBoyGood]

here we go

[BatManu20]

Finish this

[DMC]

Jeez. Giving Paul all these FT's.
Nah, Spurs don't foul much.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Shit.....

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs need a bucket here to seal the deal

[100%duncan]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[ffadicted]

... fucking manu y u no grab dat shit and seal the deal

[Spurs Brazil]

One more stop

[DatBoyGood]

I want Leonard on Cp3 this posession!

[BatManu20]

Omg

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to come up with that. Damn Manu.

[jiggy_55]

Comon Kawhi and Gino! Coulda controlled that ball!

[DMC]

Foye with the winner I said.

[Juggity]

Too fuckin close.

[TampaDude]

Goddamn butterfingers!!! That was the game!!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

My goodness every loose ball seems to bounce in the Clippers' favor tonight.
