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

[howbouthemspurs]

If the Spurs are on their game, it doesn't matter what the refs try to do!

[Gospursel]

I like angry Danny Green. He suddenly becomes more than just a spot up 3 point shooter.

its always been about confidence with danny

[phxspurfan]

Real talk: Is Parker becoming a franchise player before our eyes

[ShoogarBear]

I'm not a Danny Green fan, as I've made clear the past 2 years, but he's been impressing me lately, tbh..

He still can't dribble a ball, but I like the way he's been competing lately..

I'm still skeptical for the playoffs, but I've enjoyed his regular season shooting and hustle..

I like Green and his effort, I'm just not at the point where I trust him in a big playoff game.

I don't trust Diaw, either.

[DatBoyGood]

At this point no need for Manu. Save him for tomorrow night.

[ace3g]

mentioned it before but Green has improved in cutting to the basket (timing) and using the pump fake, step in jumper (not settling for 3s).

[Bill Brasky]

Had to log in just to say that Timmy D is awesome as usual, and that call on Green was one of the worst calls I've seen in awhile.

[EVAY]

I gather Pop won't even bother to bring Manu in

If he doesn't, it is a disservice to both Manu and the team. Manu is totally a rhythm player, and he needs to play to get that rhythm back. I don't know what is going on...did he pull up on that leg again in the first quarter?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Bullshit Clippers have not made a Field Goal so far in the third quarter. Superb Spurs defense.. and some

[bklynspursfan]

Real talk: Is Parker becoming a franchise player before our eyes

Honestly, I think we will know come playoff time.

[mrjap2x]

What a horseshit call on Green on the "offensive foul." If they wanna call that...fine. But the ball was going out of Neal's hands at the same time the "offensive foul" was occuring...
Well the silverlining is that the clips can't say the refs were on the spurs side.

[ElNono]

Spoke too soon... here comes Manu

[Capt Bringdown]

its always been about confidence with danny

Danny has a tendency to get over-confident as well. I like his control in this game.

[Strategic]

Damn, are these the clippers or the lakers? can't hardly tell tonight.

[BatManu20]

Stay on your feet Diaw

[Capt Bringdown]

That was dumb.

[timtonymanu]

I like Green and his effort, I'm just not at the point where I trust him in a big playoff game.

I don't trust Diaw, either.

Have to agree. Diaw is definitely the more frustrating though because he doesn't always give full effort.

[BatManu20]

Take it easy Manu

[LakerHater]

Dont blow this lead!!

[ElNono]

Manu stat padding

[wut]

Take it easy Manu
Manu doesn't know easy, he only knows returning the ring to Mordor.

[jmard5]

Ok, Clippers already over the foul limit?

[LakerHater]

A lil nervous havin Manu play in this game. feels like it could get chippy!

[loveforthegame]

Why do they keep leaving Butler open?

[LakerHater]

LOL these refs!

[Cry Havoc]

Manu doesn't know easy, he only knows returning the ring to Mordor.

The goods.

[Holden_Caulfield]

can we bench the big three now please

[BatManu20]

I wish there wasn't so much time left

[Capt Bringdown]

One thing the clips are doing right is trapping Neal everytime he touches the ball.

[timtonymanu]

Clippers do have an unlikeable bunch of players. (Paul, Jordan, Butler, Hollins, Barnes, Crawford)

[EVAY]

One thing the clips are doing right is trapping Neal everytime he touches the ball.

Wouldn't you if you were them?

[DesertSpur50]

Was Parker about to throw that shit down? He went up with two hands.

[DapDaGenius]

I'd like a gif of Griffin failing to inbound that ball. Was he trying to revenge for what Neal did?

[wut]

Clippers do have an unlikeable bunch of players. (Paul, Jordan, Butler, Hollins, Barnes, Crawford)
you forgot Odom.

[ElNono]

to be fair, you can say whatever about the Clippers bench, but it was the starters that shit the bed tonight

[bklynspursfan]

Probably won't see Tim in the 4th which means he'll only have played 16 minutes. Can't predict what Pop does but have to believe he will play tomorrow. Manu will probably sit

[Strategic]

:lol Chris Paul with 4 fouls.

[ShoogarBear]

The Clippers are really impressive considering they're playing without any legs.

[phxspurfan]

does Parker drop 40 tonight hmm

[Boomersgold]

4 fouls on CP3? Game's over. :rollin

[LakerHater]

WHAAAt a pass!!

[ace3g]

Splitter, splits the defense

[SA210]

every soundbite from Del Negro sucks!!! He sounds like a little league coach not knowing what to say lol

[wut]

wow Splitter, stop it!

[loveforthegame]

Sick pass.

[Gospursel]

patty with the "smoke alarm"

[Juggity]

Splitter > Parker

[Bill Brasky]

Spurs just clowning the Clippers with their passes.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Splitter, stahp.

[Stances]

Maybe because it was the first time I heard it? Dumbass.

[HarlemHeat37]

The best passing big men trio since Webber/Divac/Miller, tbh..

[BatManu20]

Anybody else watching this and just thinking to yourself, "I love my spurs" lol

[wut]

If I were Pop, I'd take out Parker...Clippers going into thug mode now that they're being embarrassed.

[ffadicted]

This is a straight up massacre boys

[RD2191]

Splitter > Parker

[Whisky Dog]

Blake Griffin cheap shotting now

[Capt Bringdown]

Splitter > Parker

That was awesome, wow.

[howbouthemspurs]

So happy this is National TV ! Tony is just destroying these teams!

[timvp]

Clippers melting down. CP3 isn't even in TP's same ballpark right now, tbh.

[mrjap2x]

Uhhhm.... why did we lose two games against the clippers?

[Boomersgold]

Time for some Patty, Pop...

[Kidd K]

Clippers seem like such a dirty team. Green kills them, gets hit in face. Green comes back makes some nice plays, gets pushed in the back as he's going up for a shot. Parker kills them, gets hit in face on the next play. The fuck.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

time to pull the starter imho

[LakerHater]

Back to Back blow out games for TNT! :lol

[capek]

Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon

[EVAY]

If I were Pop, I'd take out Parker...Clippers going into thug mode now that they're being embarrassed.

I appreciate the concern...but I fear that it would just make other teams say "hey, if you beat on Tony they'll sit him down." Kind of not a long term plan.
Still, I expect that he will see no time in the fourth.

[cheguevara]

Holy shit Tiago looking like Vlade Divac

These mofos are in a fucking zone. Bring in Crabby Patty and Baynes to apply the fatality

[ShoogarBear]

you forgot Odom.

I heart Odom.

One of my all-time favorite Mavs.

[wut]

time to pull the starter imho

this.

[TampaDude]

Wow...just got in from work and turned on the game...how in the hell did we lose the other two games to these guys?

[Boomersgold]

Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon Want to see Baynes soon

Pop says "No".

[Kidd K]

Uhhhm.... why did we lose two games against the clippers?

Very early season (aka irrelevant), plus we had several guys injured. Manu, Leonard, Parker (eye), etc. Clippers were almost 100%. Their top 3-4 guys were all 100%.

[Cry Havoc]

Pull our starters. Get ready for tomorrow. I want to see our big 3 play dammit.

[cheguevara]

Green is fucking killing out ther. Best game of his career IMO

[Chinook]

That damned Goodyear blimp goal-tends every time. It annoys the hell out of me.

[Bill_Brasky]

Rest the starters in the 4th, Pop.

[ChumpDumper]

Uhhhm.... why did we lose two games against the clippers?November.

[LakerHater]

Clipper D sleepin!

[ace3g]

more great passing

[loveforthegame]

Nasty.

[Cry Havoc]

31 points for Parker. Holy shit.

[DieMrBond]

I heart Odom.

One of my all-time favorite Mavs.

*applause* :)

[Boomersgold]

Very Nasty, indeed.

[bklynspursfan]

31 points for Parker. Holy shit.

In 28 minutes... on 15 FGA (only missed 4 shots)

[SayTown]

Can we get these refs in the playoffs vs thunder

[wut]

good grief Spurs.... showing the Clippers what basketball actually looks like.

[timtonymanu]

I heart Odom.

One of my all-time favorite Mavs.

Exactly. I also love how his departure took part in the Lakers being irrelevant.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

pure fucking rape slicing and dicing these niggas

[Strategic]

Tiago covering griffin on the outside. yup

[LakerHater]

How About Sum BAYNES!??

[loveforthegame]

NDC nice!

[phxspurfan]

getting ugly

[Capt Bringdown]

NDC has played very well.

[ShoogarBear]

The RRT is like the rug in The Big Lebowski.

[loveforthegame]

How About Sum BAYNES!??

Probably the last 30 seconds or some crap.

[BatManu20]

Too early to pull the starters. It's still the 3rd qt lol

[ace3g]

Nando ... need to stop letting that happen

[capek]

pure fucking rape slicing and dicing these niggas

Clips tonight tbh :lol

http://www.michaelianblack.net/.a/6a00e54edada5e88330133f2a2db3e970b-800wi

[TMTTRIO]

interesting that Manu's still out there during trash time.

[howbouthemspurs]

31pts and 7 ast in 3 quarters for Tony! WOW!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Clippers
:cry "We missed playing with each other during the break." :cry

[Strategic]

Paul and Bledsoe, non factors tonight.

[JingleJangleJingle]

anyone else see neal get angry on the bench?

[Capt Bringdown]

Might be time for some turd towers soon. Hate to see anyone important get hurt :)

[Whisky Dog]

Lol @ Griffin having Nando pinned in the post then passing out

[Darius McCrary]

Anyone else notice Neal being pouty heading to the bench a couple mins ago

[capek]

There is no Godsoe :lol

[Strategic]

stern wants to fine the Spurs for blowing this one open too early tonight

[capek]

No easy baskets Jax. Good job :tu

[BatManu20]

This 2nd unit is playing bad defense

[DesertSpur50]

Barnes aint bout dis life...

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I keep getting Matt Barnes and Matt Bonner confused all the time, too.

[Bill_Brasky]

Has C-Webb been reading SpursTalk, tbh? :lol

[Libri]

Webber said hero ball. He must read SpursTalk.

[LakerHater]

Nice Tiago, Nice!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Clips tonight tbh :lol

http://www.michaelianblack.net/.a/6a00e54edada5e88330133f2a2db3e970b-800wi
shit
:lol

[Strategic]

Which comes in first, Blair or Baynes?

[loveforthegame]

Green with some nice passes.

[Boomersgold]

Is Cojo still with the team? I wonder if he'll get playing time tonight.

[Holden_Caulfield]

we are gonna get another substantial sanctions for this massacre on national tv lol

[BatManu20]

Wtf Manu?

[timtonymanu]

Is Cojo still with the team? I wonder if he'll get playing time tonight.

He's still with the Toros.

[Boomersgold]

Patty should be in for Green.

[SA210]

dumb turnovers

[LakerHater]

Protect the damn ball!!!

[Cry Havoc]

How the fuck is that not a flagrant?

[Bill_Brasky]

interesting that Manu's still out there during trash time.

Even more interesting that trash time started in the 3rd quarter....

[loveforthegame]

2 dumb turnovers.

[Whisky Dog]

What was that finish?

[Strategic]

is that Danny DeVito sitting behind the Spurs bench?

[024]

manu still looks broken

[capek]

Bad play to end the quarter, but crazy that there's a full quarter left to play :wow

[BatManu20]

That's why you don't pull the starters yet. Cause the 2nd unit does shit like that

[timtonymanu]

Stupid TO's. They cut the lead under 30.

[Boomersgold]

wtf?

[spursparker9]

bench in contentment mode

[ElNono]

we're up 30... stop complaining

[SpursIndonesia]

LOL, Turnobili. :lol

[EVAY]

The Clippers have pulled within 28 points to start the fourth.

[KaiRMD1]

In all seriousness, I think the Clippers need to bring in Cliff Paul for situations like this.

[Darius McCrary]

Can you guys imagine if we had Splitter during the entire Rasho era???

[Darkwaters]

Is this a national broadcast?

[Strategic]

This ones in the bag unless Spurs start handing the ball to them for half court fast breaks.

[timtonymanu]

That's why you don't pull the starters yet. Cause the 2nd unit does shit like that

2 bad plays doesn't mean the starters should play with a 30 point lead.

[superjames1992]

Webber said hero ball. He must read SpursTalk.

That's the second time he's said it tonight.

[TampaDude]

Spurs are just fucking around now. Even the scrubs can't blow a 30-point lead in 12 minutes.

[EVAY]

Is this a national broadcast?
yes. tnt.

[TMTTRIO]

Manu doesn't look right but fortunately we don't need him as much anymore to win.

[LonghornMike]

I think the refs are letting the fouls and physicality get out of control. They need to rein this in or someone's going to get hurt, especially with idiots/bad sports like Barnes, Griffin, and Jordan in the game.

[Kidd K]

So why are we using De Colo instead of Joseph? De Colo plays really out of control.

[RD2191]

Spurs are just fucking around now. Even the scrubs can't blow a 30-point lead in 12 minutes.
dude, dont jinx it lol

[loveforthegame]

In all seriousness, I think the Clippers need to bring in Cliff Paul for situations like this.

:lol

[Boomersgold]

That's the second time he's said it tonight.

Using "hero ball" to describe Kobe's game, which he was, is perfectly accurate.

[Darkwaters]

yes. tnt.

Sorry, just woke up to catch the 4th quarter. Damn...what a nice surprise.

Glad that the Clippers are getting embarrased.

[wut]

:lol nice TNT with Popisms.

[loveforthegame]

Those Pop clips. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

There we go Jack

[SA210]

lol at those Pop clips

[Strategic]

Blairball

[jmard5]

Stak for 3!

[BatManu20]

What is up with these terrible passes?

[Boomersgold]

Why are Splitter and Green still in the game?

[Boomersgold]

Now it's just Green....

[loveforthegame]

Blair with more junk.

[capek]

Blair and no Baynes :(

[BatManu20]

De Colo's offseason needs to consist of nothing but working on his 3's.

[Bill Brasky]

Through 3 quarters, Parker vs. Paul

http://i.imgur.com/QdAYv9d.png

[Darkwaters]

Blair showing why he was untradeable

[capek]

Beautiful!

[Juggity]

One of the most dominating spurs performances against a contender team that I have seen.

[capek]

Through 3 quarters, Parker vs. Paul

http://i.imgur.com/QdAYv9d.png

Fucking domination :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Would love to see Baynes get some time. (And not 45 seconds)

[Kidd K]

That looked like a clean defensive play by Green. They had the perfect camera angle on that.

Refs gonna blow a bunch of quick whistles to help the Clippers back to a respectable margin or some shit?

[Holden_Caulfield]

put in patty!!!!!!!!

[Darkwaters]

How does Parker only rate a +3?

Hes got 31 pts, 7 assists and 0 turnovers

[Strategic]

Paul finishes with more fouls than points. if that stands wonder how many times that has happened?

[ace3g]

1 Clippers highlight:

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2215625/clippersfanhalfcourt.gif

[Spur|n|Austin]

I don't chime in too often on the game thread cause I'm watching, but GOT DAM. Tony for MVP. We need to star a campaign; it's funny too hear the TNT announcers finally see.

[Boomersgold]

Mills!

[ShoogarBear]

Clippers need to work on their post defense on point guards.

[capek]

How does Parker only rate a +3?

Hes got 31 pts, 7 assists and 0 turnovers

He's +31 on nba.com

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol jackson is the tallest guy on the floor

[LittleCriminal]

Turd Tower Time!!

[timtonymanu]

Sit Manu already

[ElNono]

danny was limping

[td4mvp21]

Was not expecting this. A 30-point beat down without Leonard, in L.A.? That's just disgusting.

[Spursfanfromafar]

ESPN's +/- tracker has been off since the All Star Game. And the buffoons haven't corrected it as yet.

[Darkwaters]

He's +31 on nba.com

That sounds more accurate.

[capek]

danny was limping

Gonna be sore tomorrow. Got banged up tonight

[Bill Brasky]

.

[Bill Brasky]

He's +31 on nba.com

Looks like I accidentially clipped the end off, it is +31. My bad.

edit: nevermind, that was ESPN's fuck up, not mine.

[ace3g]

De Cola I mean De Colo!!!

[capek]

Nice De Colo! Practice those shots in game time :tu

[Darkwaters]

Was not expecting this. A 30-point beat down without Leonard, in L.A.? That's just disgusting.

It's going to be hard for ESPN to NOT be positive about the Spurs tonight. Hardly any Clippers highlights to be found. Except that half-court shot I guess.

Before the tipoff tonight it looked like we would have a few clipper fans on this thread. What happened?

[capek]

De Cola I mean De Colo!!!

:lol Reggie really is an idiot

[LakerHater]

Whata steal!

[bklynspursfan]

Decolo's shooting has been pretty stellar

[LittleCriminal]

MILLS!!!

[loveforthegame]

Beautiful steal. And the layup. Nice Mills.

[look_at_g_shred]

Patty being disruptive!

[ace3g]

patty_Mills needs a towel tucked into his shorts like an NFL player, so he can do a towel wave after he makes a basket

[capek]

It's going to be hard for ESPN to NOT be positive about the Spurs tonight. Hardly any Clippers highlights to be found. Except that half-court shot I guess.

And they'll spend 80% of their coverage of the game on that play tbh :lol

[capek]

patty_Mills needs a towel tucked into his shorts like an NFL player, so he can do a towel wave after he makes a basket

:lmao

That would be too awesome

[crc21209]

This has been awesome, such beautiful basketball to watch...:tu

[LittleCriminal]

Should put Baynes In Already... Blair is invisible per usual.

[phxspurfan]

Sadly, this is when the TP for MVP talk will start, and the Spurs will cease to be under the radar.

[NASpurs]

Who here is giving McDonald shit? :lmao

304828738900721665

[KaiRMD1]

Ya know, Tony Parker has been getting A LOT of MVP talk this season and the crazy thing is he's actually been showing it. Over the last couple of weeks, I would say it's between him & Lebron. Would love to see him get it because he just proved he's the best PG in the league. Paul couldn't even make it a contest but then again, the Clippers are rusty.........yeah

[Spursfanfromafar]

Some of the stats for the Spurs' this game are really sick.

29 assists.. 62% shooting.. 41% opposition shooting.. brilliant.

[ace3g]

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo (https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo) Spurs will improve to 64-25 in "Rodeo Road Trip" games since 2003 with win

[LakerHater]

Baynes is in!

[loveforthegame]

Baynes!!

[LittleCriminal]

Called IT!! BAynes!!

[KaiRMD1]

Baynes has seven minutes to not fuck up......... a lot

[Juggity]

Let's see what Baynes can do

[capek]

Baynes! YAY!

[PingPong]

Just Baynes and Blair in the entire roster didn't get points until now

[ace3g]

Reggie called him Bane, lol

[Darkwaters]

And they'll spend 80% of their coverage of the game on that play tbh :lol

I love when the Lakers play someone and all the highlights are about the Lakers.

"and heres a nice dunk by Kobe"
"a steal by Kobe and a three"
"etc etc etc"

Then the final comment by ESPN, "Lakers lose 76-130"

[Darius McCrary]

I think leetonidas is pissing McDonald off on twitter rofl rofl

[Boomersgold]

Blair, wtf?

[BatManu20]

This 2nd unit is starting to scrub it up

[LakerHater]

This line up is strugglin!

[Strategic]

Push the ball to the basket on our end of the court.

[LittleCriminal]

Blair with an 18 foot jumper??? WTF GTFOH!!

[capek]

I love when the Lakers play someone and all the highlights are about the Lakers.

"and heres a nice dunk by Kobe"

ESPN, the Fox News of sports.

[BatManu20]

Given up like 5 lay-ups already..

[Boomersgold]

Lackluster basketball by the bench.

[crc21209]

How in the hell does Kris Humphries get a commercial deal with Foot Locker? :lol Talk about shitty.....

[Spur|n|Austin]

On another note, I've been doing the Harlem shake every time the spurs score. I must be old, cause I don't understand the craze

[crc21209]

Also...what a crappy double-header on TNT next Thursday. Philly-Chicago, Minnesota-Lakers.

[look_at_g_shred]

[Darkwaters]

You don't want to see Minnesota-Lakers?

It's the original Minnesota team versus the new guard. One of them has a corny wolf name, the other has a totally inappropriate name for their new venue.

[bklynspursfan]

Was that Blair or Timmy?

[loveforthegame]

Good rebound by Baynes.

[BatManu20]

There you go Blair

[crc21209]

[LittleCriminal]

BAynes with the DUNK!

[Darkwaters]

Nice pass from Blair

[Juggity]

[capek]

Nice! Good to see Baynes get an easy basket. Good for his confidence

[loveforthegame]

Nice. Good for Baynes. :tu
