Game 2 Thread: Spurs at Clippers 10:30 EST (9:30 CST) Wednesday, April 22

[Venti Quattro]

Spurs got really lucky to win this one. Thank you MVPatty and of course Timmy Ballgame.

Alert the NATO tbh. France is going ballistic tonight

[PingPong]

Great win but the Spurs need to improve a LOT. And stop with hack-a-dumb shit.

[kaji157]

What a great player Tim Duncan still is.
Silly coaching by pop with the hack a jordan, next time he has to give clear instructions on who is fouling, Manu and Tim give him a foul because everyone else was watching.
If Tony Parker goes to play for france it´s better to trade him now while he still has value.

[SupremeGuy]

Parker isn't even himself.He's playoff parker right now. He turns it on for the postseason.

[milkyway21]

TEAM EFFORT LEAD BY DUNCAN & bala bala MILLS !!

:turn to Leonard/Manu/& Diaw too!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Now we go back to San Antonio and wrap things up by game 5.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao
Duncan da Gawd. But, lol good quote :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

you know damn well Parker would had missed a few of those end of game free throws...

[SASdynasty!]

Dat Reddick free throw that hung on the rim...

[SpursOwn]

I am going to cry like a little bitch when Timmy retires. Fuckkk.... nights like tonight just show how much fucking special this guy is and always has been.

[SupremeGuy]

As soon as porker went out and MVPatty went in, Verde and Kawhi looked like they were back to normal again. Pop is a fucking idiot if he stays with porker and his shit.

[spurs10]

HCA! Moth%#%^^^ers!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

How the fuck did we win that? Spurs did everything to give it away - including Pop. How wonder how much the Spurs have left.

I know we won but I'm not sure why Tiago sat so much and why Pop let Tony fuck up for so long. Damn, we need to win the next 2.

They'll be fine.

[milkyway21]

Mills is pure FT shooter good for him.

I agree. I really think the spurs should look into getting rid of this piece of shit

[SupremeGuy]

Dat Reddick free throw that hung on the rim...Don't front, bitch. You know you're pissed that MVPatty pulled through when porker and pop were trying to sink us.

[milkyway21]

PLEASE DON'T RETIRE YET TIMMY !!! IF U SIT ON THE BENCH THE WHOLE YEAR I WON'T CARE ! :D

Just play in the play offs :lol

[Budkin]

How did we win?

[Russo21]

17 points in 5 overtime minutes. 17 points in the whole 4th quarter. what the hell were we doing in the 4th

[01Snake]

Don't front, bitch. You know you're pissed that MVPatty pulled through when porker and pop were trying to sink us.

:lol

[capek]

As good as any non-finals playoff game I've ever watched! What a great fucking win. Tim Duncan! Patty! Damn, great game!

[SpurPadre]

Safe to say TP is out for Game 3?

[DawgMilkX]

How did we win?

we scored more points

[beirmeistr]

MVP of the game Parker's ankle.

hilarious

[$pursDynasty]

This is revisionist history watch the replay, when Tony went out Clippers went on a 12-2 run.

[milkyway21]

SPURS KILLER INSTINCT!

CLASSIC!

[timtonymanu]

That game went from Game 6 against Miami to Game 6 against OKC.

[tim_duncan_fan]

No seriously, Pop. You can't keep freezing out Mills.

[james evans]

How did we win?
parker went to the locker room


Safe to say TP is out for Game 3?
I hope so.


Reggie and Charles seem to be pissed that the spurs won the game. wtf

[SupremeGuy]

This is revisionist history watch the replay, when Tony went out Clippers went on a 12-2 run.We fucking won the game you fucking idiot, goddamn.

[james evans]

That game went from Game 6 against Miami to Game 6 against OKC.
and the common factor in game 6 against okc and this game is that a certain player was benched for "injuries"

[milkyway21]

Spurs BENCH :worthy:

Patty Mills the little Magic Johnson ..

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs got really lucky to win this one. Thank you MVPatty and of course Timmy Ballgame.

Wrong, it's called reversion to the mean.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

How did we win?
Patty mills

[ontheraise]

you know damn well Parker would had missed a few of those end of game free throws...

with parker we wouldn't have needed the OT to win the game

[32fastest]

Anyone know what Sean and bill were yelling about at the end of OT?something about Jamaal Crawford fighting? Then it looked like pop said get rid of that Asshole.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice try Ernie Johnson, Ginobli is fine.

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green is about to have some monster games here in San Antonio..

[spurs10]

Does Big Shot Patty like the big stage or what? Reminds me of someone...??? :flag:

[Mugen]

:lmao can't believe the Spurs won that game

[SpurPadre]

Shaq just said Barkley was celebrating when he thought the Clips were gonna win and that he was shouting "they're gonna sweep them!"

[james evans]

with parker we wouldn't have needed the OT to win the game
i agree, cuz we would have lost

[elemento]

This game is a great reminder of how screwed the Spurs will be once Duncan retires.

Not sure if Parker is hurt or not, but he was straight up garbage.

[024]

Spurs look like they were on their last legs out there... Even though they got the win, these are the times when you kind of wished you had a legitimate hero baller. Got to sink the open 3's next game and stop with careless turnovers that land directly into the Clipper's hand. Good win though, the Spurs seemed to have woken up after game 1.

[Silver&Black]

Home court advantage....

glad patty got his shine on

[beirmeistr]

griffin pooped his shorts twice in the closing miutes with dumb play

[adonis827]

Man that game is a heart attack! Have not watched a grinding game that close in a little while. We were really lucky to come out of there with a W.

I would think a key in beating these clippers is to minimize and not let their mid 3 (crawford, barnes, reddick) do a lot of damage. Their big 3 of Paul, Griffin, Jordan will always be there. We would be lucky if one of their big 3 has an off game but that would be very seldom.

[milkyway21]

Shaq just said Barkley was celebrating when he thought the Clips were gonna win and that he was shouting "they're gonna sweep them!"

:lmao Barkley, the loser.

BTW, Chris Paul said there was a foul that was NoT called? CP3 such a cry baby

[timtonymanu]

Shaq just said Barkley was celebrating when he thought the Clips were gonna win and that he was shouting "they're gonna sweep them!"

Chuck is tired of the Spurs making him look like a fool every year.

[spurs10]

:lmao can't believe the Spurs won that game Believe!! :toast

[crc21209]

After all that, anybody realize Baynes didnt play a single minute tonight. I think he has to get a couple mins doesnt he? At least to give Timmy a breather and so he can bang with Jordan and Griffin...

[JR3]

Yes. I'm fairly certain none of my fellow employees are Spurs fans considering I live in LA and work in an office with about 12 people total, tbh.
Well good call. I def won't tell anybody. GSG

[Chinook]

Sarcasm?

No.

[Beaverfuzz]

In the Greg Popovich era, the Spurs are 13-6 in playoff series when the series is tied 1-1. :bobo: :pop: :flag: :lobt2:

[MI21]

My run this afternoon will be a bit nicer knowing the Spurs won.

Thanks Timmy, tbh :tu

[DPG21920]

The Spurs choked that game, not LAC. Spurs had the bigger leads. If it wasn't for the bad FT shooting again (outside of Mills 6-6 at the end), all the missed wide open 3's and layups and some terrible defensive lapses, this game would have been out of hand.

Pop botched the 4th quarter completely & the Spurs still had a 10 point lead with 8 minutes left despite getting 1 point from Parker. Spurs choked the lead, not the other way around.

[kaji157]

Considering Splitter is back to Vagina form and Diaw at times plays like its preseason i would give him 5-10 minutes.

I´d agree with that over other game, but not this one, the clippers also missed open looks, failed to convert on plays after getting 2 or 3 offensive rebounds (twice).
This time the failing was even, and the spurs won.

Disagree. Spurs had a nice FT advantage and didn't take advantage (pre hack a jordan). Spurs got better looks more consistently and kept missing. Spurs missed a ton of chip shots (Tim and Boris in particular). Spurs consistently had the lead for most of the game. Spurs didn't put this one away and almost turned this into one of the more haunting PO losses in their history.

[TheGreatYacht]

Lets forget about Game 1 and move on to Game 2

Yeah, they choked, regardless if we choked first, they choked too, and worse

[Mikeanaro]

Man, Pop is really something... like the devil, got that Tech foul and Reddick shot that hanging brick the ball was like 2 seconds freezed and OUT OF MY YARD.

[perfectdark]

never play hack a jordan again
killed our momentum completely and put us in foul trouble. just completely wrong timing for this strategy. I would rather we never use it

[milkyway21]

Duncan apologized to his team for his 4qtr performance?

[Matty2Cool]

But game might have never gone to OT if parker wasn't out there with 6 min left in the 4th

[Amuseddaysleeper]

parker sat alone in the locker room. he was in tears.

he had just watched his team win the game without him.

he had just gotten the news from the docs about his achilles injury. he may not be able to play the next game, and that hurt him.

he saw his team congratulate each other, but he felt like he had no part in it.

he wanted to congratulate them so bad but, he knew that his days with the spurs were numbered. soon patty mills would take over, and eventually he would be forced out.

but he knew that things would be better that way.

he laid his head in his hands and cried.

Agreed, and Pop is going to have to review his shit with Danny, tbh... he needs to be out there defending.

is this basketbawful or what?

[milkyway21]

DUNCAN 5,027 PTS . 5th all-time
:clap

[DPG21920]

I mean, despite Beli's awful 3PT shooting, he made some timely buckets and played with great energy. But you have to play Danny for his defense. It's no wonder when Pop yanked Danny and had Parker/Beli that the lead got cut. Plus, Danny is so damn important, you need him to have confidence. I belive Danny is one of the most mentally tough players on the team, but damn.

Let's see if coming home gets him going.

[Mikeanaro]

But game might have never gone to OT if parker wasn't out there with 6 min left in the 4th
By that time Patty had already proved he was having a good game, thats on Pop.

[DPG21920]

TP playing better overall, but not producing points at all. With TP/Tiago not really being super sharp on offense like normal, I am concerned that Clips bench is keeping up with Spurs bench. Normally our SL is way ahead on +/-, but if Clips bench is going to out produce Spurs, that spells trouble.

Not sure how to feel about the 2nd half. For the first time i'm worried. Spurs offense got much better than game one, but still missing FT and 3PT. Shots should fall. But the defense is pretty bad, CP/Blake destroying SA and CLIP bench doing well compared to Spurs. It's a toss up unless the Spurs make some damn shots and tighten up the boneheaded mistakes.

God - we saw the writing on the wall in game 1 and the first half. It was so un-Spurs like to not put teams away and make the mistakes they were making. Offense was getting really good looks - so much better than Game one but the Spurs almost killed themselves.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

After Game 6 and Tracy McGrady, I'll never relax again until the final buzzer.

And how right you were :lol

Well fuck me. I went to bed at the start overtime I was so tired and actually the hack a Jordan killed the game for me. I was so mad and bored watching that shit I really didn't care anymore. I thought the spurs would lose because of it. Just play defense! It killed the o and the flow.

Anyhow, awesome that they pulled it out and still have yet to play good basketball. Maybe they can get it going and not have to resort to that crap.

[01Snake]

The Spurs are an exasperation machine, prodding your weak spots until you finally combust. They are the dog turd waiting on the kitchen floor after your hard day of work.

LOL

[Dizzle]

why doesnt Pop play danny more? does anyone know? his defense is HUGE and hes a great player?? ? wtf???
