RRT Game 7 Thread: Spurs @ Clippers - Feb. 21 @ 9:30 PM CST

[Spursfanfromafar]

Awesome speed and skill by TP

[timvp]

Griffin with the no-look fadeaway goods so far.

Is CP3 playing?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Honestly TP has burned every single PG he's played this year. There isn't a single 1 in the NBA that Tony doesn't demolish head to head.
It's getting ridiculous. TP should be considered the top 1 in the league; unfortunately, we saw today idiots still think differently.

[BatManu20]

Lol at Neal's defense

[Bill_Brasky]

Nice Parker, when he gets that shot going early he's a tough cover.

[capek]

Red Mamba!

[loveforthegame]

Bonner!!

[RD2191]

RED MAMBA

[DesertSpur50]

The Red MAMBA!!!

[Cry Havoc]

BONNER BOOMSAUCE

[Spursfanfromafar]

Red mamba fed vby Diaw..

[timvp]

Dumb shot by Bonner. Ginobili wiiiiiiiide open in the corner.

But I'll take it.

[timvp]

Dumb shot by Bonner. Ginobili wiiiiiiiide open in the corner.

But I'll take it.

[LakerHater]

Left the wrong wiiiide open!
RED MAMBA!!

[jmard5]

Did Manu got hit with a knee on the leg? Hope it's not the hamstring again. He seems to be limping a bit.

[timvp]

:lmao @ Godsoe.

[Cry Havoc]

TP steal. Torching the Clips.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Super defense, TP..MVP!!

[bklynspursfan]

No Jack tonight I guess?

[ElNono]

Man, if Manu pulls that fake.. :wow

[Cry Havoc]

Dumb foul. Now we can reset the offense and still get a 2 for 1.

[Strategic]

When the Spurs put it together on both ends of the court for a quarter like this, dam awesome

[capek]

Did Manu got hit with a knee on the leg? Hope it's not the hamstring again. He seems to be limping a bit.

thigh contusion-ayyyy oh no-ayyy

[Cry Havoc]

Man, if Manu pulls that fake.. :wow

Seriously. Such a clever bastard.

[timtonymanu]

Great defense.

[DatBoyGood]

Man this defense is so much improved

[Gospursel]

clippers first game after the break has something to do with this...

[timvp]

Refs miss an over and back, tbh.

[DesertSpur50]

Crawford step on the line and the ref was right there, wtf?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Without CP3 in the court, Clips' offense is a nightmare..

[BatManu20]

Dammit Bonner

[Uriel]

Dang.

[DesignatedT]

Great quarter. Great defense by the guys.

[ElNono]

terrible pass by Manu :lol

Mamba is excused on det one

[timtonymanu]

Clippers are one annoying looking bunch. They're definitely the lesser of two evils (compared to Lakers, Thunder) but I don't like them.

[Cry Havoc]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/D_Coverart.pnghttp://www.lowes.com/images/LCI/Planning/BuyingGuides/bg_FenceBuyingGuide_wood.jpg

[ElNono]

so who's starting the "Kawhi is holding this team back" thread? :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

honestly I don't think Reggie Miller watches the spurs unless they're playing on TNT. He never knows what the hell he's talking about

That isn't exclusive to the Spurs, tbh..Reggie is probably the worst analyst covering the NBA, tbh..

[capek]

Without CP3 in the court, Clips' offense is a nightmare..

But but but, Clips have the best bench in the NBA. And Godsoe! :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Other than Manu fucking up the last 2 possessions, what a quarter.

[RD2191]

good job so far

[Juggity]

Could not be more impressed with the spurs effort so far. Can't last forever, but enjoying it.

[BatManu20]

Refs miss an over and back, tbh.

Refs have missed about 3 blatant calls already, all against the spurs. Just a preview of the shitty officiating we'll see in the playoffs.

[loveforthegame]

Defense and rebounding has been most impressive. :tu

[Bill_Brasky]

Crawford step on the line and the ref was right there, wtf?

Ball got poked away

[timvp]

Is Godsoe even less of a point guard than Neal and Mills? He might be, IMO.

[Libri]

Without CP3 in the court, Clips' offense is a nightmare..

Which begs the question, how good would Griffin be without a good point guard.

[Darius Bieber]

Refs "miss" an over and back, tbh.

[look_at_g_shred]

Refs swallowing their whistles till the 4th tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

True but when we're flowing not even the Heat could handle us.

I agree, but I've seen this team blow too many leads to feel confident early on, tbh..

[Spursfanfromafar]

But but but, Clips have the best bench in the NBA. And Godsoe! :lol

Lol.. God is sure sore with his playmaking, tbh.

[DesertSpur50]

Ball got poked away

It looked like he gather the ball then step over to me.

[DatBoyGood]

Is Godsoe even less of a point guard than Neal and Mills? He might be, IMO.
Haha so true, the only thing that separates him from neal and mills is his explosiveness

[bklynspursfan]

Really nice quarter. Pop being nice to Rachel Nichols.

[Cry Havoc]

Haha so true, the only thing that separates him from neal and mills is his bitchmadeness

There we go.

[bklynspursfan]

This lineup scares me for us

[Gospursel]

there's been about 7 points that the clippers wouldn't have scored if leonard was playing

[Libri]

That reporter must have been scared as hell to interview Pop. lol

[BatManu20]

Shoot it Diaw! Wide open

[ace3g]

De Colo helping on the boards!!!

[Spursfanfromafar]

Nice, Diaw.. shed your shyness.

[ElNono]

Jack is back!

[Cry Havoc]

omfg diaw got fouled there, wtf refs.

[Capt Bringdown]

Very nice touch by Diaw

[HarlemHeat37]

Jackson in the post succeeding early..keep it going..

[BatManu20]

JAX!

[Spursfanfromafar]

Thats tough nails Jack!

[look_at_g_shred]

Jack!!!

[capek]

This lineup scares me for us

Blair's not in there so could be worse tbh

gotta trust in De Colo to keep us afloat

[Cry Havoc]

Jax goin' in Barnes's mouf.

[ace3g]

Nando!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Um..did Nando really just make that shot?:lol..

[Spursfanfromafar]

Lovely De Colo.. Long 3 pt.. Great for his confidence.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol even nando geting in on the action

[Cry Havoc]

NDC holy shit we're just blowing the Clips apart.

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n hell, that was from the parking lot!

[jmard5]

Quality interview. Nice tactic with the opening line.

[loveforthegame]

De Colo. nice.

Welcome back Jack!! :tu

[BatManu20]

Damn they're getting a lot of open 3's

[capek]

gotta trust in De Colo to keep us afloat

Like that! Nice shot

[DapDaGenius]

LMFAO fail Diaw fail

[LakerHater]

Shoulda finished that!!!

[BatManu20]

Dammit Diaw it's a freaking lay up

[Spursfanfromafar]

Green getting the death stare from Pop.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

ref didnt call that cuz he 100% thought it was in and put the whistle away too soon.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs should post Jackson or Diaw on every play right now..

[Cry Havoc]

Bonner is seriously playing tonight. :tu

[Spursfanfromafar]

Red Hot Mamba.. and dead burn on defense.

[Das Texan]

If Pop plays this 5some in the playoffs, I might go fucking insane.

[Gospursel]

is it just me or is the pace much faster with this lineup?

[ElNono]

goddamned bonner... don't let Odom open

[ace3g]

finally Green, he realized he can dunk

[loveforthegame]

Whoa!!

[Libri]

Odom made a shot! :wow

[BatManu20]

Danny, is that you??

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck is up with the no calls on contact? Seriously refs you need to pull your heads out of your ass.

[RD2191]

green smash

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs ball movement has to be tops in the league.

[Blizzardwizard]

:wow

[Cry Havoc]

Danny Green with the most athletic play of his LIFE.

[DapDaGenius]

LMAO they got a super close up on how Green looked angry.

[jmard5]

Green with the slam! Green has been finishing well lately.

[DatBoyGood]

Ok green!

[MVPCues]

Danny Green finished at the rim!

[Warlord23]

Pop playing with fire with that lineup, but they did pretty well

[LakerHater]

Dont be mad! :lol

[capek]

Danny with the very solid start, expect the sagging off his man thing, everything else have been very good. Great distributor so far

[Darius Bieber]

It looked like Green came down awkwardly from that dunk. Good that it's fine.

[BatManu20]

These refs are fucking awful, i'm sorry. The worst i've seen in a regular season game in a long time.

[Brunodf]

Clippers bench sucks

[Spursfanfromafar]

Superlative offense by the Spurs.. Some drop in D from the first quarter.. But they are fired up and balling.

[Cry Havoc]

It looked like Green came down awkwardly from that dunk. Good that it's fine.

He didn't land awkwardly, he got knocked the fuck over.

[FromWayDowntown]

What the fuck is up with the no calls on contact? Seriously refs you need to pull your heads out of your ass.

Monty McCutchen is the answer to that question. I'm fairly convinced that Monty, among the crew chiefs, will let the most contact go. That doesn't necessarily mean that his crews will call the fewest fouls, just that he does seem to allow the most contact.

[Strategic]

He didn't land awkwardly, he got knocked the fuck over.This

[bklynspursfan]

If they can keep this lead at 9-13 before the starters come back I'd be pretty happy. They're playing very well

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner is seriously playing tonight. :tu

Not a fan, but he has earned respect tonight.

[Gospursel]

Its a nationally televised game and the big three are playing...

[BatManu20]

Clippers bench sucks

No they don't, they're just not playing their best right now. THey have one of the best benches in the league.

[capek]

He didn't land awkwardly, he got knocked the fuck over.

Ya, his leg almost got caught under him when he got pushed in the back. Very close to being very ugly :td

[bklynspursfan]

Monty McCutchen is the answer to that question. I'm fairly convinced that Monty, among the crew chiefs, will let the most contact go. That doesn't necessarily mean that his crews will call the fewest fouls, just that he does seem to allow the most contact.

And seems to be allowing it on both ends for the most part. I'm fine with that, let em' be physical.

[Cry Havoc]

Monty McCutchen is the answer to that question. I'm fairly convinced that Monty, among the crew chiefs, will let the most contact go. That doesn't necessarily mean that his crews will call the fewest fouls, just that he does seem to allow the most contact.

I'm fine with that but at some point you have to protect the players. Geez.

[jmard5]

Not a fan, but he has earned respect tonight.

Is it because he is still a Spur?

[capek]

HELL YA GREEN!

[Cry Havoc]

SPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

[Spursfanfromafar]

Man.. Green is hot.

[RD2191]

DANNY VERDE

[jmard5]

Damn. Another Green 3.

[loveforthegame]

Guys are active and playing hard.

[LakerHater]

[ElNono]

Danny driving... smh

[crc21209]

Stupid ass Green, shouldn't have forced it there...

[DapDaGenius]

Green is T.N. He has become consistent.

And again, I can't trust Sjax's 3.

[capek]

Tried to do too much on that one though

[ace3g]

ok green hasn't learned to dribble...

[Cry Havoc]

Green dumb decision. :|

[BatManu20]

I know it's been a while since he played, but I can't remember the last time JAX hit an open 3

[Blizzardwizard]

Green getting a little too confident on the ball there.

[Spursfanfromafar]

The San Antonio Splosh.. Yes.

[Capt Bringdown]

green - please, resist the temptation to dribble into coverage.

[HarlemHeat37]

Danny Green should be fined any time he tries to create offense, tbh..

[Cry Havoc]

Some of the best defense I've seen in a long time from the Spurs.

[DatBoyGood]

Good timeout

[capek]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2214827/rachelpopo.gif (http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2214827/rachelpopo.gif)

The secret to keeping Pop polite during these in game interviews, have a pretty girl ask the questions. :tu

[ElNono]

Danny late off a screen.... here we go

[Gospursel]

clippers looking pretty bad in stretches and spurs not capitalizing.

[Cry Havoc]

Clips not going away.

In other news, 46 minus 34 is 13.

[Brunodf]

Stupid turnovers/Bonner giving too much space

[BatManu20]

Damn Spurs should have a huge lead. Gotta cut down on mistakes

[Strategic]

Like to see the Spurs retain most of this lead by halftime, don't want the clips to gain momentum.

[capek]

Danny Green should be fined any time he tries to create offense, tbh..

He's got 4 assists so far man, come on :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

I know it's been a while since he played, but I can't remember the last time JAX hit an open 3

Same here. I always cringe everytime SJax attempts a three these days.

[Libri]

Crawford jumper :tu

[Spursfanfromafar]

The San Antonio "Spares" are doing their bit pretty well.

[Capt Bringdown]

Some of the best defense I've seen in a long time from the Spurs.
Agreed. I wonder what got into 'em.

[Boomersgold]

Get Bonner out of the game? Damn, Pop, we know you like him, but the team comes before your love for Bonner....

[Chinook]

Green with the giveth-taketh neutrals.

[Strategic]

Green's ball handling tendicies reminds me of how fuckin' good Parker is at taking care of the ball.

[BatManu20]

I really hope JAX finds his shot again soon.. or his finger heals up. All his open misses are killing us

[Spursfanfromafar]

Same here. I always cringe everytime SJax attempts a three these days.

I worry about the shot clock. Seriously, is Jack's the slowest release in the league?

[mystargtr34]

Harlem is right regarding Danny Green.. he is doing well tonight with 4 assists but 9 times out of 10 when Danny tries to create it ends up with a pass in traffic, interception or he fumbles his dribble. Its not really a sustainable way for the 2nd unit to play.. especially when the defense gets tighter come playoff time.

[Cry Havoc]

Green active hands!

[HarlemHeat37]

I love that Danny Green has become automatic from 3, but I'm not confident that his fatal flaws won't be exposed in the playoffs again, tbh..

Inability to dribble a ball and struggling to defend through screens are major flaws in today's game..

[loveforthegame]

Dangerous pass. Thankfully we got a foul.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

danny green needs to work on his post-entry passes. that lob was like right in front of hill.

[Cry Havoc]

I'll say this. It's damn awesome to see Odom on an NBA court where he isn't destroying us. :lol

[Darius McCrary]

Why was Danny running the offense earlier? What purpose does nando serve if he's not running the offense?

[Cry Havoc]

We're cleaning the glass!

[loveforthegame]

Bonner. :lol

[jmard5]

Green with the steal. Bonner 2.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Some 2 pt venom from the Red Mamba..

[DesertSpur50]

Matty playing above average D.

[Capt Bringdown]

Matt "Jabbar" Bonner. Who knew?

[jmard5]

Defense! Turnover for the clips!

[Strategic]

Bonner wipes his azz wid clipper glass

[Cry Havoc]

Green scores again! Damn he is just everywhere.

[Spursfanfromafar]

great play by TP9.

[loveforthegame]

Guys moving without the ball and ball movement is beautiful.

[Kyl3]

Very surprised Parker missed that.

[BatManu20]

Tony WTF! That was the easiest shot he'll ever see

[loveforthegame]

Parker missed the easiest shot hell get tonight.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

WAS THAT MATT BONNER OR TONY ALLEN

[timvp]

Be like Karl Malone so you can win championships? TF? Shut up.

[Cry Havoc]

TP9 absolutely roasting Chris Paul right now.

[jmard5]

Bonner's PG defense. LoL.

[Spursfanfromafar]

A very random miss for Parker.. he has probably the best % for a PG at the rim or within 5 -10 ft.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

and one nigga

[Kyl3]

And then he makes that lol.

[Strategic]

Parker......

[Spursfanfromafar]

Brilliant Parker.

[LakerHater]

WOOOW!

[Gospursel]

"40 year old Grant Hill with the miss" :lol

[Juggity]

TP. Beautiful move.

[Cry Havoc]

Be like Karl Malone so you can win championships? TF? Shut up.

I think he just meant have a reliable post move. But yeah, stupid comment.


TONY!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Be like Karl Malone so you can win championships? TF? Shut up.

Did Reggie say that? I don't pay attention to the commentary because I'm too busy posting and reading this thread.

[DatBoyGood]

Skip Bayless probably has a boner right now watching this game

[loveforthegame]

Yes. Leave Grifiin open like that.

[LakerHater]

TP #BEASTING!

[Cry Havoc]

Skip Bayless probably has a boner right now watching this game

Nah, he's already taken care of that a few times.

[timtonymanu]

Man 2 mm over two lame artists fighting over a slut. Thank the heavens Tony was fine.

[timvp]

I think he just meant have a reliable post move.

When did Malone have a post move?

Ah, whatever.

[Spursfanfromafar]

They keep saying that TP is second best to CP3 this season.. and yet on the floor, TP looks better than CP3 atleast this game.

[bklynspursfan]

Duncan is getting a ton of rest, we may actually get to see him tomorrow too.

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god Parker is absolutely unstoppable.

He's honestly the best head to head point guard in the league. Maybe the best h2h guard in the league period.

[ace3g]

Can there be an AmVP (Almost Valuable Player) since LeBron has MVP for a while, TP would win AmVP

[Brunodf]

Is TD injured?

[Strategic]

So far in this one Paul is an afterthought to Parkers' skills.

[loveforthegame]

Hopefully this means Duncan will be good to go tomorrow night.

[jmard5]

Wow. Parker's on fire. Clippers need to respect that.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan is getting a ton of rest, we may actually get to see him tomorrow too.

Man, I hope so. I'll be at the game.

[Juggity]

Skip Bayless probably has a boner right now watching this game

He's not the only one

[timvp]

Got damn.

WoW.

What a first half so far, tbh.

And TD + Manu = Only 14 minutes

[look_at_g_shred]

Spurs playing like that 20 game winning steak tbh

[bklynspursfan]

They keep saying that TP is second best to CP3 this season.. and yet on the floor, TP looks better than CP3 atleast this game.

Granted I'm a Spurs fan, but I feel like it's obvious Parker has had a better season than Paul this year.

[Nathan89]

Skip Bayless probably has a boner right now watching this game

What spurs fan doesn't?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Be like Karl Malone so you can win championships? TF? Shut up.

Says Reggie Miller.. who won a lot of championships.

[Bill_Brasky]

Man, Parker getting no love from the announcers. Apparently he's the 2nd best PG in the league against the guy he's owning h2h tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

Parker has 18/5 on 8/11 shooting. Paul has 2/3 on 1-2 shooting.

It's not even a contest at this point. Tony is HUMBLING Chris Paul.

[Strategic]

Stern will be pissed if the Spurs can continue to do this while resting stars.

[Darius McCrary]

If Green hadn't let Butler get hot this is already a blowout.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Grizzlies in the East

Why does Reggie have a job?

[timvp]

It's kinda weird how Paul is supposedly the best PG but TP routinely roasts him.

[Cry Havoc]

Got damn.

WoW.

What a first half so far, tbh.

And TD + Manu = Only 14 minutes

And no Leonard either!

[wut]

So far in this one Paul is an afterthought to Parkers' skills.
yeh I just don't get how people immediately put CP3 above Parker while watching the two go head to head in the same game, it's just not even close...Parker is playing at a different level.

[Darius McCrary]

Neal fail = just another spurs game

[DatBoyGood]

Gotta love how Tony doesn't back down in head to head matchups vs the top pgs

[Spursfanfromafar]

Why shouldn't Popovich not get the COY again this season? I mean.. the point about coaching is to make your team better. I think barring perhaps Neal and of course Bonner and Blair.. every player has improved or played to his best this season.

[LakerHater]

wow, these refs!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony just destroying Paul. Completely. Annihilating him.

[Capt Bringdown]

Neal fail = just another spurs game

Pop shaking his head

[Capt Bringdown]

Neal fail = just another spurs game

Pop shaking his head

[capek]

And no Leonard either!

System has a life of its own tbh :wow

[Bill_Brasky]

These refs don't know what a travel is, apparently.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Asshole refereeiing..

[Kyl3]

Refs trying to take control of this game

[BatManu20]

Wtf are these shitty refs doing. Send them back to the D-League please!

[Bill_Brasky]

Absolute shit call.

[bklynspursfan]

Man they call that travel call a lot on our guys.

[wut]

refs are whistle happy ....here comes the comeback.

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw with a heady foul.

[Strategic]

looked like a block to me

[LakerHater]

THATS ALL BALL!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs missing chances to go up 20+
Might come back to bite them in the ass.

[capek]

Tony just destroying Paul. Completely. Annihilating him.

Yet CP3 will still get more MVP votes :td

[timvp]

These refs have called a week's worth of travels.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs missing chances to go up 20+
Might come back to bite them in the ass.

[Cry Havoc]

Wtf... pink shirt with a bow tie

[Juggity]

Great foul by diaw tbh. Deny the dunk.

[Libri]

Looked like a good block to me.

[ace3g]

damn that was a good looking hook from Tiago...

[Kyl3]

3 in a row?!?
