The real season starts now. Can't believe we are in the playoff season already.

Our seeding is low but we can do this.

This last loss for the Spurs really has to sting and should light a fire under all of their asses. No more "coasting" or playing down to your opponent. Now is when we see what this team is really made of and how serious they are about defending the title. Let's get to it. :flag:

If you are coaching the spurs

who do you put on CP3, whos guarding crawford, who will check reddick? Who's gonna guard Blake Griffin if Tiago is unavailable?

Imo primary defenders:, kawhi on paul, green on reddick, diaw on blake obviously but baynes on griffin would be tough

[heyheymymy]

Tiago situation is C.I.A. Pop perhaps. Clippers deflate a bit tomorrow if they find out he's a go on the lineup after thinking maybe they would catch the break. Morso than if they thought he was healthy all along and mentally prepped and game planned for his presence.

They tell themselves they are prepared to compete either way to regain focus, but the lingering possibility of a "Splitter missing game 1" bonus is a distraction whether you prepped for either situation or not.

Ah, the old "Would you rather have AIDS or Cancer" debate. To Jeff's credit, he's had a smidgen of improvement in the last month or so in almost all facets of the game to where he's now a borderline 12th man as opposed to NBDL quality.

[SpursFan86]

Their bench better not play well this series...they're fucking awful, but for some reason they always seemed to play well against us this year.

Hawes, Crawford, Rivers, Glen Davis, Turkoglu...absolutely no reason these scrubs should be able to stay even with our bench unit.

I have tried every search modifier combination with no luck. Plus I don't think the tweet mentioned Kawhi, fro, or Spurs in it at all (which would have made it much easier to find).

The background was all black and there was some type of caption the in the bottom right corner in neon blue/green.

Very old news and completely off topic, but as we're killing time until the game, thought I'd fire us up by showing the old conversation between TD and the greatest winner the sport has ever seen, who basically states Duncan is his favorite athlete. Appropriate....

P.S. And not only did Timmy get "one more" since this conversation, he may get ANOTHER very soon! :toast Bill Simmons keeps comparing this year's Spurs to the 69 Celtics, no less.

All I know is if the Spurs lose there'll be meltdown from the usual suspects and an abundance of 'Why didn't Kawhi get the ball more?' threads from Apalisoc immediately followed by dabom 30 seconds later with 50 emoticons.

DeAndre Jordan expects to spend plenty of time at the free throw line against the Spurs, but said that he wasn't worried about it.



"It’s happened all season, and I feel like a lot of the games that they’ve done it we’ve won," Jordan said in regards to teams intentionally putting him at the foul line. "I’m not really worried about it. When it does happen, which I know it will, I’ll just go to the line and shoot the basketball. It’s not something that I’m dreading, but I’m prepared for it. I’m ready." Despite shooting just 39.7 percent from the line this season, the Clippers are 9-0 when he shoots at least 14 free throws.

Heh...

Ed Malloy is one of the worst officials in the league. Expect Crawford to get numerous calls on his bullshit leg kickouts. He is the ref who gave Westbrook the tech that got rescinded when it clearly looked like Westbrook did not warrant it. Although his short leash could be good vs the Clippers since they complain often.

because the NBA didn't want to stick a game in at 1100 am so Lebron could have the afternoon game. There could have been a game at 1200pm EST but who know why they chose not to have one

For Christs sake!! Why the fuck are the games so late on a sunday night? I understand the need for games to be later on a weeknight but this is silly. My memory could be bad but have playoff games usually been this late on a weekend before?

Am I weird for thinking this will be Spurs in 5 with the possibility of a sweep in play?

no

[ElNono]

To expand on that, Vegas also looks like they don't know exactly what to expect...

The Spurs are minus-175 to win the series, Los Angeles plus-155. The money's coming in on San Antonio after opening at minus-150. The series prices are where things go bonkers.

San Antonio is plus-250 in six games, but just plus-350 in five games. Those are the shortest odds. Plus-350 for a gentleman's sweep?

Egads.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are plus-650 to beat San Antonio in a Game 6 on the road, plus-300 at home in a Game 7. Either of those are great retun on value considering how good the Clippers are, but if you're asking me if you should bet against the Spurs?

You should not.

The Clippers are minus-1 in Game 1, which is where the price opened. Walk away slowly; no sudden movements.

I can't see us losing the series. Pop will ride that hack a jordan if he even sniffs the game getting out of hand. It's really the clips starting five vs 10 of our players. Their starting five would have to be prolific this series to win. I'm struggling to see why most are picking us in 6 rather than 4-5. I think we own this team mentally in the POs, we take game one and the series is over.

1 more hour. Motherfucker.

[Knoxxx]

I'm setting my alarm for a one hour nap. For 10:40. No way this game starts before that. And its on the same network at the prior game ugh. Seen this show before too many times. Have the TBS or ESPN various channel numbers handy in case they show our game there at the start.

[01Snake]

This late start is horseshit!

[kjhip1]

Game at 4:30 watch DVR'd GoT tonight, get in bed by 10 for work.

[Budkin]

This late start is horseshit!

Seriously. I would rather have a 12:30pm game.

[beirmeistr]

Interestingly, Gino did it in 40 less games than Kobe and 78 less attempts. Ray Allen and Reggie Miller though, really off the charts there...

Keys to victory IMO
1. Pick and roll defense
2. Getting kawhi involved early
3. Making Paul work on both ends (as malik said in his thread)
4. Destroy their bench

Redick has been playing really well for the Clips the past 6 weeks or so. Can't let him get going. He's the spark-plug to their offense.

Agreed. Especially #4.

Need Mills and Manu to come up huge this series. Also, the first big off the bench (whoever Pop goes with) needs to destroy the likes of Big Baby Davis.

[gameFACE]

I hate Big Baby. Go Spurs!!

[DPG21920]

LAC have a tremendous offense. They have been incredibly efficient on offense with Blake healthy. One area to watch out for is CP3 mid-range. Spurs defense often times gives teams that shot, which is normally smart, but CP3 is the best mid-range scorer in the game. Luckily, CP3 doesn't have it in him to take 30 shots, even if he is hitting.

Agree except for Kawhi...

I'd like him to cruise the 1st half and explode in the 2nd, we shouldn't underestimate the amount of energy he is spending on D.

[Pound the rock]

I hope to see 2014 vs Heat Kawhi version

Well, imagine Brent being forced to say "Tony's penetration is a major factor!" No way should he ever call a Spurs game, tbh.

Should've never let him go. He could be the starter now.
