Spurs just overcame a 24-point deficit, AND won a back-to-back on an opponent's home court, AND won a game in which the Clippers and Spurs battled back and forth with multiple lead changes and the game usually within just a few points.

So did you just quote yourself or what?

When all the commentators thought the Clips were going to win, they were talking about how CP3 and Griffin weren't banged up anymore. They played their best ball tonight, at home, facing elimination - and the Spurs still beat them down.

Just because the Spurs made this series look easy, it doesn't mean the Clips didn't challenge. The Spurs played nearly flawless ball at home, and then found ways to win on the road. What more do you expect in the second round of the playoffs? Especially in the Western Conference?

Spurs need a little rest after this series.

Spurs need a little rest after this series.

Apparently, they are going to get at least a few days of it, huzzah.

This is bullshit because the Jazz were a legit team beating the Mavs, Magic, and Suns down the stretch (Overpowering teams with size). We swept them. Clippers, the only team in the playoffs that has a bench as deep as the Spurs. (Super athletic and deep). We swept them, some people just need to give credit where credit is due... This is the greatest team in a looooooong time.

Yeah thought it was funny that Griffin and Paul actually start hitting a few shots and magically they must of just healed overnight and the only reason they struggled was injuries.

If anything it's proof they weren't that hurt before, cause they aren't gonna heal overnight after playing a game.

also, Utah and LAC got plenty of talent, with some experience and a better coach (LAC) they could be legit contenders in the future

Every playoff game is a huge challenge. The fact that the Spurs have won 8 in a row just means they've met every challenge head on, and found a way to come out on top. So I disagree with anybody who says this team isn't battle tested. Just because you're bringing nukes to a knife fight, and obliterating your opponents, doesn't mean you haven't gone to battle.
