Spurs don't need Parker this series. Spurs won Wednesday with a hobbled TP. Cojo would be better chasing Paul around early and running through screens and pestering him. Splitter is another story and he will play. Clips best chance of winning is tonight as I believe Splitter will be coming to form by game 4.

Spurs need to treat this like a game 7 again and break the Clippers. If the Spurs win tonight, they will seal this series, IMHO.

He's clearly lost his mind. His take on DJ deserving the DPOY and Tiago's defense prove it. Or maybe he's still salty about 05.

[K...]

Yeah Chauncey don't get it.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The best part of that video is SAS getting Chauncey's jersey number wrong, and Billups getting all indignant about it.

[RD2191]

Lmao stephen a fail.

[MateoNeygro]

Terrible take. I think Chauncey is just salty from 05.

[tmtcsc]

Yes - Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan are great athletes. But lets get real, DJ cant shoot a jump shot or make a FT and is far from a great player. You want to know what pressure is? If even one of Blake Griffin, Chris Paul or Jordan Crawford have an off night offensively, they'll not only lose, they'll get blown out. The Clippers need to go back to LA tied at 2-2 to even think about having a chance winning this series. The Spurs have depth and Championship experience to get them past adversity. The only thing I agree with Billups on is that Leonard still has big offensive game in the tank and might unleash.

Why is Splitter's health in question? Is he not a go? He seemed fine in Game 2. I think Tony plays tonight too. First Take is a bunch of unnecessary drama led by that drama queen Bayless.

Spurs didn't steal nothing. They missed 8 layups in the 4th. Spurs almost choked this game. It wasn't the other way around. Literally, watching those shots from Diaw hanging on the rim and falling off, Reddick's T doing the same, Kawhi's and Beli layups going in and out, Reddick's 3 doing the same, Blake playing stellar until those TO's.

It was like the BB gods saw how sorry every other series was up til then wanted to give us a nail biter down to the wire game.

Nobody stole nothing. Clipper were lucky even to have the lead towards the end of regulation just as much as the Spurs were lucky Griffin had that huge gaffe at the end as well.

If you have watch the games with Splitter, he gets extremely winded really fast. That will improve as the games go on. Doesnt look like the calf is bothering him.

[apalisoc_9]

if you watch First take, you're the epitome of mainstream fan. A media generated fan, nothing more.

How would you know......unless you watch?

[Raven]

they are still discussing about tiago's defensive power? really? :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

I see Stephen A Smith is going with the black man at church glasses lately.

[nowitzkikopf]

lol spurs trolling the league. parker plays, drops 20-5-4.

How can any professional athlete get tired so quickly? What is wrong with him? The difference between him and TD who doesn't seem to tire is astounding. Talent difference can be excused - getting winded - no - get in the pool and swim.

tiago = fag

[milkyway21]

Griffin. 1-7 FG

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Lol Chauncey Billups:

- Clippers will win game 3
- Splitter can't guard Griffin
- Duncan played too many minutes in game 2
- Jordan should be DPOY
- Clippers offense too good

Billups just doesnt get it

[TheSullyMonster]

"The coaching staff are watching..."

Yeah, Pop&Co take time out of their day during the playoffs...to watch Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith.

I couldn't have said it better myself...wait.

[Brazil]

:lol billups

[DMX7]

:rollin

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Look at Billups' reaction after he realized late in the 4th quarter of game 7 in '05 when it sunk in that SA was going to win.

Nigga still salty, tbh.

[Spurs9]

DJ Khaled level takes tbh

[ElNono]

lol Tiago telling Chauncey to eat shit
