Game 4 Thread: Clippers at Spurs 3:30 EST (2:30 CST) Sunday, April 26

[100%duncan]

DJ about to teach parker how to make some FTs

getting shat on by the guy he's protecting by bricking fts :lmao

[Raven]

godawful

[DMC]

He has 5 assists.
Too bad the W/L doesn't give a shit.

[TDfan2007]

Wtf? Patty had 3 open teammates and instead throws it right to a Clipper. Just losing plays by our guys.

[tholdren]

steve javy is a fucking idiot

[hitmanyr2k]

The only reason Reddick shot it that quick because he thought the ball didn't hit the rim and Reddick didn't think Mills had possession.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurrefs

[RD2191]

this is a pathetic peformance

[Capt Bringdown]

Whoever said game 3 was an aberration was spot on. Clips appear to be a better team this year.

[Darius Bieber]

Series over

[beirmeistr]

i hope Parker retires

or gets traded

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!

[BanditHiro]

i guess Kawhi is a decoy...

[hitmanyr2k]

It shouldn't be this hard for the Spurs. Kawhi isn't even involved in the offense right now.

[SpurPadre]

Why isn't Kawhi touching the ball?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs are just being dumb now

[Silver&Black]

No backcourt violation on that play????"

[tim_duncan_fan]

Another dumb foul.

Choke time! Yay!

[timtonymanu]

Losers can't grab rebounds. Oh well, Spurs. Better hope you can play well on the road.

[100%duncan]

Wow Danny

[Texas_Ranger]

danny green is a retard

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why am I still watching when I know how this will end? Spurs obviously are confused and lost.

[Uriel]

For all the talk the Spurs had of not relaxing after a dominating performance in Game 3, they sure look unfocused here in Game 4.

[Mugen]

one of the stupidest games I've ever seen the Spurs play. what a joke tbh.

[crc21209]

What a BS call. So the Clippers are allowed to go over peoples backs and move on every screen but Danny cant breathe on Paul..

[703 Spurz]

Green with more fouls than points again. Dude is too streaky and not worth it.

[td4mvp21]

Spurs making more mistakes/choking harder than a perennial stupid, choking franchise :lol

[slick'81]

Cp3 getting coddled by the refs

[Capt Bringdown]

Danny Green...as with Splitter, appears to be working for the Clips tonight. PATHETIC

[Raven]

the ultimate suicide.

[RD2191]

good gawd green

[NASpurs]

Still watching this feels like masochism.

[loveforthegame]

Lot of talk about Parker and Manu but Green has been hot trash.

[davidbowie]

danny is trash

[TXstbobcat]

And there's the dagger

[RD2191]

well good game fellas.

[phxspurfan]

Every single Clipper playing like game 7 of the finals

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs suck. First round exit.

[davethedope]

Whoever said game 3 was an aberration was spot on. Clips appear to be a better team this year.

I didn't want to say it but seemed like because of the two straight wins a lot of people jumped the gun on Spurs wrapping this up quickly if at all

[BatManu20]

RIP Danny Green's shooting stroke

[ontheraise]

we fuckin need tony in the game to attack paul and foul him out

[KaiRMD1]

Weak sauce effort tonight, we deserve this loss, plain and simple

[timtonymanu]

Well 2-2. And the Clippers are back in the driver's seat.

[Mugen]

Championship teams don't lose this game tbh.

[slick'81]

Every single Clipper playing like game 7 of the finals


yup extra effort cp3 going hof'er

[itzsoweezee]

Not going to win a playoff game with this shitty defense.

[100%duncan]

Popovich should retire after this season tbh :lol


Stop coaching Pop we know you're tired of this. You're too good for this right :lmao

[stephen jackson]

loss is on pop, parker, & ginobili

[boutons_deux]

Yielding hca

[Raven]

Green with more fouls than points again. Dude is too streaky and not worth it.

there is nothing streaky about him, it's pop messing with his rythm.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I guarantee Spurs win game 5.

[FkLA]

This isn't the time for fucking isos even if it is Duncan.

[tholdren]

I would probably sign and trade green with tiago - green cant even defend in the playoffs, and he has no offense. Package him with tiago for 2 players who arent soft.

[baseline bum]

I still can't fucking believe how weak they came out in New Orleans when they could have wrapped up the 2 seed and gotten Dallas in the first.

[KaiRMD1]

Green out, Beli in, pop has called the game

[ontheraise]

mills can't defend

[Trill Clinton]

wtf mills

[Uriel]

It's easy to be overconfident coming into Game 4 after that shell shacking we dished out in the previous game. But the Clippers are desperate and they're going to come out with everything they've got. After the embarrassment they suffered at our hands in Game 3, they'll be extra motivated to redeem themselves for this game. I expect a very difficult game ahead.
Spurs fans were confident coming into this game. Perhaps irrationally so. But in hindsight, we should have seen this coming.

[BatManu20]

Clips just want it more tonight. And we didn't bring it. Gotta give it to them.

[slick'81]

Game 5 should be fun lol

[Trill Clinton]

game over. put in ayers

[Darius Bieber]

Series over. Blow this team up.

[RD2191]

PLAY COJO NEXT GAME YOU SENILE OLD FUCK

[ElNono]

White flag coming up

[beirmeistr]

that's it, I'm turning off the recorder

[tholdren]

game. fuck you pop fuck you splitter fuck you green.

[boutons_deux]

YieldingYielding hca

[Darius Bieber]

Clips will win Games 5 & 6 by 30+.

[ontheraise]

pop lost that game , i wanna ear all parker haters

[hitmanyr2k]

Game over. These imbeciles can't even recognize Kawhi is being guarded by Crawford.

[slick'81]

I still can't fucking believe how weak they came out in New Orleans when they could have wrapped up the 2 seed and gotten Dallas in the first.


Cant worry about bout it now spurs got to deal with the clips

[Raven]

shameful, just shameful.

[phxspurfan]

Mama, there goes that man

[AusSpur]

Pop playing not to lose instead of trying to win got what he deserved in this one

[davethedope]

stinging loss, but hey, just gotta come through next two games... Game 7 will not be winable

[Ice009]

Danny Green is ice cold.

I don't understand why Parker doesn't try to get guys like Danny going to start games. Instead, most of the time he looks for his own offense and freezes everyone else out. Bad PG.

[tim_duncan_fan]

It's sinking in for me that we aren't likely to win this series.

The team isn't smart enough.

[Mugen]

Pretenders. Absolutely pussy effort.

[FkLA]

Fuck...

[EVAY]

Well, we knew that the Clippers would be desperate today, and that Paul would feel like it was on him to save his team...pretty much what happened.

Now we go to LA having to win two of the next three games, and only one of them here.

[BanditHiro]

we need to find someway to get rid of Parker in the offseason. Manu is going to retire so that is that but Porker will just be an empty body eating a big piece of the cap space.

[CGD]

We can't win if TP + Manu dont show.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs = laughing stock of the leaue.

[ducks]

Benching tp. Clippers get lead to 15

Lead was 5 tp bench

[$pursDynasty]

offense looks like crap since TP went out, nobody in to run it

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

In hindsight, the hack-a-Jordan was once again a huge mistake. I wonder if Pop will continue to try abuse it.

[Spurminator]

Green and Manu sucked today.

[Darius McCrary]

At some point you have to accept this Spurs team for what it is.

Not great.

[100%duncan]

I wish Kawhi was an UFA so he can leave this shithole of a team

[TheGreatYacht]

Leonard stat padding, per par

[loveforthegame]

Leonard stop trying.

[cd98]

Pop went with Patty over Parker. Bad result. I don't hate the move, but Paul lit him up in crunch time.

[KaiRMD1]

Pop gonna take out Kawhi now

[loveforthegame]

Stop Leonard.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

WOW KAWHI IS MAKING SHOTS WHEN HE GETS TO SHOOT WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE ITS ALMOST AS IF HES THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM

[RD2191]

OH LOOK HE FINALLY GETS THE BALL

[Ice009]

I'd look at benching Parker next game. Start CoJo and go with Mills off the bench. Parker is washed up. Can't even hit free throws, won't play PG, just look for his own offense instead.

[will_spurs]

Crazy that Kawhi barely had any touches in the 2nd half.

[spurraider21]

lol heroball

[SupremeGuy]

Leonard stat padding, per parLook at this salty bitch.

[hitmanyr2k]

Too little too late assholes. You just ignored him most of the game lol.

[ducks]

Ball hog Leonard mills was open for 3

[mclinejr]

New plan - just pass it to Leonard.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard tapping his chest saying my fault.

[Raven]

too many dumb moves..

[KaiRMD1]

At some point you have to accept this Spurs team for what it is.

Not great.

The end of the season peak show was a tease

[Silver&Black]

Spurs = laughing stock of the leaue.

Congrats on your win today....

[lmbebo]

Frustrating game. F**king Paul.

[SpurPadre]

They should've force fed Kawhi alot earlier. They look like the clear better team after 4 games though, tbh.

[100%duncan]

Popbitch :lmao




I wish Tim retires leaves this fucking scrub of a coach that he's been carrying his whole life. Green leaves. And Kawhi signs for one year to fuck this shit in 2017.

[Blizzardwizard]

Leonard padding them garbage time stats.

TP deserves better than this.

[SupremeGuy]

OH LOOK HE FINALLY GETS THE BALLHe's stat padding :cry
Hero ball :cry

Fucking idiot porker fans.

[Nathan89]

Pop went with Patty over Parker. Bad result. I don't hate the move, but Paul lit him up in crunch time.

Neither Parker or Patty should ever be on Paul.

[Holden_Caulfield]

damn shouldve passed it to mills

[BatManu20]

Horrible shot there by Kawhi, but I don't blame him. His teammates have been shit.

[cd98]

Clippers are a talented team and they wanted it more tonight. They played the entire 48, Spurs didn't the end of third and the entire 4th. Hats off to Clippers.

[RD2191]

HOPE KAWHI FORCES A PARKER TRADE OR I'D GTFO. WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH A CANCEROUS PG

[james evans]

welp this game is over. things that need to change for game 5

1. diaw has to shoot those open 3's. it's like he has no confidence
2. We've got to start fighting over screens
3. Stop leaving blake griffin open. This is why we struggle with dallas so much and teams that big men can shoot.
4. bench green and play bellinelli if he continues to play this way. Not only is he shooting bad, but his defense is shit this playoffs too. No need to play him if he's not gonna ad scoring and his defense is garbage.
5. hit some freethrows. they are killing us. home court aint shit if we can't hit free throws.
6. GIVE LEONARD THE FUCKING BALL!!!!!! I forgot he was on the team for most of the day. no one on the clippers can stop him


Parker actually played good this game. Most of his groupies think I want him to play bad. That's not true. I like it when he plays well. That's good for us. Parker isn't to blame for this game at all

[TDfan2007]

Not even Kawhi immune from stupidity. Bad shot then an even worse foul

[timtonymanu]

I'd look at benching Parker next game. Start CoJo and go with Mills off the bench. Parker is washed up. Can't even hit free throws, won't play PG, just look for his own offense instead.

Won't happen. Pop's not throwing him under the bus, unfortunately.

[100%duncan]

lol heroball

:lmao defending parker
:lmao defending popbitch

OH LOOK KAWHI'S HEROBALLING :lmao

:lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

WOW KAWHI IS MAKING SHOTS WHEN HE GETS TO SHOOT WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE ITS ALMOST AS IF HES THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM

Pop's gonna live or die with Tony unfortunately. Been that way since 2004.

[will_spurs]

Kawhi and Parker only players with positive +/-

[davethedope]

Pops needs to get over himself, because his ego is preventing the development of Leonard

[TheGreatYacht]

Look at this salty bitch.
Go O.D on heroine, don't quote me peasant

[SupremeGuy]

Too little too late assholes. You just ignored him most of the game lol.Yup. Pop wanted to make sure everyone knew it was porker's team.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop went with Patty over Parker. Bad result. I don't hate the move, but Paul lit him up in crunch time.
Patty can't run the offense he can just shoot, let TP foul CP0 out, Patty can't

[Nathan89]

Leonard padding them garbage time stats.

TP deserves better than this.

Maybe he should've hit his 4 fts in the 4th.

[cd98]

When Parker went down, Spurs offense looked desperate.

[FkLA]

Fuck this touch foul BS. Wish Joey was reffing this game tbh.

[Mugen]

What a fucking garbage performance by the Big 3 + Pop. Absolutely shameful on their part.

[quentin_compson]

Kawhi's last shot was pretty terrible. The Spurs look pretty shot right now as a collective.

[TheGoldStandard]

I pray that Pop and Manu retire

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck everyone not named Duncan

[100%duncan]

HOPE KAWHI FORCES A PARKER TRADE OR I'D GTFO. WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH A CANCEROUS PG

I won't blame him if he wants out esp if the Big 2 in Tim and Manu leave the fucking shitfest that Pop and Porky has.

[beirmeistr]

I'd look at benching Parker next game. Start CoJo and go with Mills off the bench. Parker is washed up. Can't even hit free throws, won't play PG, just look for his own offense instead.

won't happen, parker has something on pop

[Trill Clinton]

Go O.D on heroine, don't quote me peasant

:lol

[boutons_deux]

Clips hit their shots 53%/

[SupremeGuy]

Go O.D on heroine, don't quote me peasantYour crush is sucking her boyfriend's dick right now, tbh.

[spurraider21]

:lmao defending parker
:lmao defending popbitch

OH LOOK KAWHI'S HEROBALLING :lmao

:lmao
lol. read my post on parker in DMC's thread. my stance on him has been constant

you think the last shot by kawhi was a good shot? lol

[Fireball]

Well, that was it I guess. Even if the Spurs win the series, they will be so exhausted that Houston will beat them easily. Opportunity missed ... props to the Clippers though, I did not think they had it in them ...

[crc21209]

Kawhi gets the ball and scores, surprise surprise. Pop fucked around too much with Tony on Paul also. Green needs to be the primary defender on him. Leave Tony on Barnes at all times..

[tim_duncan_fan]

I will say that was a damned good try, Kawhi.

It's too bad everybody forgets about Kawhi, including himself, and elects to let Ginobili just pass the ball to the other team and allow Parker to try to live out his dream of one day becoming Kobe Bryant.

[Capt Bringdown]

We don't appear to be contenders. This might be it, folks.

[Darius Bieber]

"Dynasty" = over tbh

[ducks]

Lol 18 shots and people think no touches

[Knoxxx]

I can't believe Paul has only shot 8 FTs every time I look while flipping through on DVR seems like he is at the line. Flipping through fast not sure I saw a single LAC basket in the 4th quarter which was nice. At the same time I watch all made SA baskets and man I didn't see many!

[EVAY]

Right now the difference in points equals the number of missed free throws by Duncan and Parker combined

[cd021]

I'd look at benching Parker next game. Start CoJo and go with Mills off the bench. Parker is washed up. Can't even hit free throws, won't play PG, just look for his own offense instead.

:lol Cojo, Duncan, and Splitter with Green hitting only 1/3 of his 3's on the road. That starting unit has 0 spacing on offense. I liked the Mills-Ginobilil-Beli (or Green or KL)-Bonner and Splitter lineup Spurs didn't use it tonight but it got a ton of open 3's in game 2 ( they missed 4 wide open 3s.)

[100%duncan]

lol. read my post on parker in DMC's thread. my stance on him has been constant

:lmao Kawhi hater


Oh look he's heroballing after not being able to touch the ball for how many minutes. Wow lead down to 9 heroballing! :lmao

[therealtruth]

That was a bad possession by Kawhi. Should have tried to run some offense.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Pop's gonna live or die with Tony unfortunately. Been that way since 2004.
Tony is alright, I think if he didn't shoot some of those heat check jumpers and made his FT's it would have been okay. Can't do anything about him missing the 3s but he needs to make those FTs and those long midrange jumpers he takes are bad.

[SpurPadre]

Fuck everyone not named Duncan

TD shouldn't get a free pass. He missed free throws and missed a big shot in the paint.

[Trill Clinton]

da fuck

[100%duncan]

TD has been shameless with his defense :lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny green is trash

[ontheraise]

over

[EVAY]

Lol 18 shots and people think no touches


Remarkable, huh?

[KaiRMD1]

Please just let the clock run out and call it a game

[stephen jackson]

yeah just doesnt feel like out year last few years we woulda won this game.

[tholdren]

why the fuck wouldnt you foul jordan last possession down 8? retarded.

[ontheraise]

can't believe paul finished that game

[808]

Spurs win the next two. Not that far fetched

[TXstbobcat]

Nice game for Timmy. Sorry to see it get wasted on a loss.

[703 Spurz]

Why is Green still in? He has more missed shots than points, rebounds, and assists combined.

[cd98]

Refs called a good game. This was on Spurs defense. It couldn't stop Clippers offense. And our offense couldn't keep up with the Clippers. Kudos to Clipper bench for showing up.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs win the next two. Not that far fetched

Spurs won't win in LA. Game 2 was a fluke. Series is over.

[sammy]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Hate these fuckers!

[james evans]

The game really comes down to hitting freethrows. duncan missed 4, parker missed 5. We hit our free throws, we're not in this shit. HCA means absolutely nothing if you can't hit free throws at home. We didn't play bad, they just played better. I know the clippers won't continue to play this way. I'm not concerned. We arent gonna go undefeated fellas. This is the western conference, not the east.

[td4mvp21]

TD shouldn't get a free pass. He missed free throws and missed a big shot in the paint.

Duncan's throwback performance in Game 2 was more than enough at his age. It was up to the rest of the team to step up at home and they all shit the bed except Leonard.

[Ice009]

Leonard tapping his chest saying my fault.

I don't know why people are blaming Kawhi or why Kawhi is saying it's his fault. I think he should have shot a 3 instead of that long two. I still think he should have shot it, just should have taken another 3 instead. I mean, he can't pass it to the PG, the PG is useless. They don't know what to do, they have a PG that doesn't know how to distribute the ball and get players in their best position to succeed. They have a PG that is mainly interested in succeeding for himself. When there isn't much direction from your PG, you get games like this where the team is all over the place. This team really needs a true PG. I'm sick of undersized SGs.

[Chomag]

and just like that Spurs lose HCA....fuck!!! Spurs sometimes can be so freaking lazy this year

[mexicanjunior]

Spurs won't win in LA. Game 2 was a fluke. Series is over.

[$pursDynasty]

get off the dang agenda crap, have you guys actually been watching how the offense is flowing when Tony is on the bench? I have and it's not pretty, I love Patty and I love all the Spurs but there was a time when Tony goes out Manu runs the show, Manu looks shot and when Tony has gone out the offense doesn't flow. Spurs get much easier shots when Tony is in for KL and TD for everyone.

[FkLA]

I will say that was a damned good try, Kawhi.

It's too bad everybody forgets about Kawhi, including himself, and elects to let Ginobili just pass the ball to the other team and allow Parker to try to live out his dream of one day becoming Kobe Bryant.

[SpurPadre]

Spurs kinda helped the Clippers, Van Gundy.

[rasuo214]

Defense was garbage today. Also don't get why they didn't run the offense through Leonard when he was either making his shot or getting someone else an easy shot.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs lose in 6

[cd98]

Just one game, but this will hurt Spurs in the long run, even if they eventually do beat the Clippers in 6 or 7. Rockets will be well rested.

[hitmanyr2k]

Patty can't run the offense he can just shoot, let TP foul CP0 out, Patty can't

Parker doesn't run the offense either. He and Mills are both basically SGs out there. No one forces his offense more than Parker.

[james evans]

why the fuck wouldnt you foul jordan last possession down 8? retarded.
can't foul under 2 mins without the ball

[Harry Callahan]

Chris Paul is still a cheap shot bitch. Baynes needs to terminate one of the key Clippers in the next game.

The Spurs threw this damn game away.

Congrats monkeyballers.

[ducks]

Green is costing him millions can not even play at home

[therealtruth]

Refs called a good game. This was on Spurs defense. It couldn't stop Clippers offense. And our offense couldn't keep up with the Clippers. Kudos to Clipper bench for showing up.

Got to stop them with defense. Can't win this series by trying to outscore them. They've got a better offense.

[cd98]

Spurs lose in 6

Doubt Spurs lose next two, but it will be tough to win in 7.

[Capt Bringdown]

Missing FT's early = confidence drainer, doubt creator

[wildbill2u]

When Leonard doesn't get the ball, its because he reverts back to the previous seasons where he goes down to the corner and waits for the ball.

but they kept a guy right in his pocket down there all day, blocking his access to the ball.

He has to move and scrape off his defenders or he's not gonna be a big part of the offense.

[mexicanjunior]

I'm so ready for the off season. Tired of watching this garbage team.

[sammy]

Wusses! No hard fouls to send a message! What a bunch of wussies!

[tholdren]

can't foul under 2 mins without the ball

sure you can.

[Horry Hipcheck]

yeah just doesnt feel like out year last few years we woulda won this game.

The Clips are far and away the most talented team the Spurs have faced in the first round in years. SA coughed up series leads to Dallas and OKC just last year.

[SpurPadre]

Meanwhile, the Rockets are playing the Mavericks...must be nice having a high seed.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Just one game, but this will hurt Spurs in the long run, even if they eventually do beat the Clippers in 6 or 7. Rockets will be well rested.

Maybe or maybe the Spurs will be in rhythm and Houston won't which will favor the Spurs. Too much rest historically hasn't always been a good thing.

[ducks]

Jeff McDonald
Jeff McDonald – Verified account ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN

Spurs with six players in double figures. And everybody else with zero. Weird box score.

[ViceCity86]

I say it again.Baynes needs some minutes.Everyone overacting to game one.Aaron should play whenever Griffin is resting.Duncan is being stretched out.Tiago Splitter sucks ass.

[davethedope]

Refs called a good game. This was on Spurs defense. It couldn't stop Clippers offense. And our offense couldn't keep up with the Clippers. Kudos to Clipper bench for showing up.

Nah, you let Austin River run up and down the court, bench player, and I saw Griffin hit more than a few uncontested outside jumpers.

That, plus missed free throws, was the game.

[Nathan89]

Parker deserves some credit for not taking as many mid-range shots this game and attacking. It's unfortunate he can't hit any outside shots even with his feet set and he struggled with fts. Overall he had a much better game than I anticipated.

Need to play better on D, hit fts, and hit more 3's in the next game. Let's try setting the defensive tone of the game by not putting Parker on Paul.

[ElNono]

they outplayed us this game, there should be no excuses...

[AusSpur]

Go O.D on heroine, don't quote me peasant

OD on female heroes?

[EVAY]

I'm so ready for the off season. Tired of watching this garbage team.


Then LEAVE, asshole!

[therealtruth]

Just one game, but this will hurt Spurs in the long run, even if they eventually do beat the Clippers in 6 or 7. Rockets will be well rested.

Either that or they will figure it out and start playing better like against the Mavs.

[Ice009]

lol, Chis Paul credits Austin Rivers for the win. I think I would have to agree with him. Rivers was the key. Anytime Spurs looked to make a move, Rivers pulled some bullshit out of his ass. Spurs should be ashamed of themselves for letting him light them up.

Paul's a pretty good PG on the floor and his assessment of the game is pretty good too. He said it was a team win and gave Rivers most of the props as being the key player.

[mexicanjunior]

Maybe or maybe the Spurs will be in rhythm and Houston won't which will favor the Spurs.

Spurs will be in rhythm on a vacation cruise watching on TV.

[ElNono]

Too sick right now, but I'll check back later, don't break anything while im gone :lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

sure you can.

Only if Jordan has possession in the last two minutes. Otherwise you give him two shots and possession.

[kaji157]

The problem here is we are getting Vagina Splitter instead of Tiago and Icy instead of Hot Green.
Both of them remind me of the OKC 2012 series, scared and intimidated on offense.
Also Patty clanging lots of wide open shots didn´t help.

[Mugen]

A pussy effort deserves that outcome. What a joke by the reigning champs.

TP/Manu + Pop were absolutely pitiful and Timmy wasn't much better tbh.

[Nathan89]

So many stupid fouls this game.

[EVAY]

Too sick right now, but I'll check back later, don't break anything while im gone :lol

Feel better, E-N. Flu sucks

[RD2191]

Too sick right now, but I'll check back later, don't break anything while im gone :lol
Get better mi llanta. Maybe Manu can feel your sickness and it's translating to his shitty play. We need you guys.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, the Spurs deserved a loss tonight. Absolutely embarrassing and pathetic showing by the defending champs. Luckily for them, they could be going home soon.

[Harry Callahan]

I predict the Spurs win this in seven. Bad mojo for the Clippers with too many sh**head, prima donna players who cheap shot opposing players. I wish the Spurs would take notes from the Celtics and go after Chrissy Paul.

[Knoxxx]

Splitter and Green shat the bad with zero points apiece. Green is playing his way off the Spurs. Parker 1 assist 29 minutes ugh.

[james evans]

sure you can.
no you can't. If it's under 2 mins and we foul jordan and he doesn't have the ball, the clippers can choose their free throw shooter.

[james evans]

I feel the spurs still had their heads high after the game 3 blow out and came in over confident.

[itzsoweezee]

Parker and Patty were getting lit up. Should've given cojo a shot.

[tholdren]

Only if Jordan has possession in the last two minutes. Otherwise you give him two shots and possession.
I understand that - but that is the equivalent of what Spurs just did. miss 2 fts - play half court defense.

[ViceCity86]

I haven't had this little belief or faith in Parker/Manu since their 1st 2 seasons together.

[spurraider21]

:lmao Kawhi hater


Oh look he's heroballing after not being able to touch the ball for how many minutes. Wow lead down to 9 heroballing! :lmao
i'm not a big fan of TP and kawhi is my 2nd favorite player on the team.

but you have terrible double standards. when tony made a few shots in a row in the 4th, you didn't say anything. then kawhi makes one and you were all up in arms "WHY DID WE GO AWAY FROM HIM :cry :cry :cry"... kawhi made 2 threes late when the game was basically decided, and then the next possession, he walked the ball up the court and put up a long, contested 2. it was a poor possession. it was heroball. even if he made it, it would have been heroball.

but because he is lord kawhi he is exempt from legitimate criticism? no thanks. if you have to call me a kawhi hater or parker lover to feel better about it, that's on you

Spurs will be in rhythm on a vacation cruise watching on TV.
And you know this because?

[cd021]

Defense was garbage today. Also don't get why they didn't run the offense through Leonard when he was either making his shot or getting someone else an easy shot.

He's only hit 23-37 shots (.620) while averaging 29 ppg over the past two. Spurs are right to go away from him.

[Knoxxx]

A pussy effort deserves that outcome. What a joke by the reigning champs.

TP/Manu + Pop were absolutely pitiful and Timmy wasn't much better tbh.

Duncan had 22 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks. How is that barely better than pitiful? It was a near pitiful 22-14-3? It's not like Jordan and Griffin are any good, i suppose.

[spurraider21]

I haven't had this little belief or faith in Parker/Manu since their 1st 2 seasons together.
yeah. even in last year's playoff run, manu had the ability to take a game over for stretches. now i'm just happy if he can make a shot or two before he sits out

[Ice009]

I haven't had this little belief or faith in Parker/Manu since their 1st 2 seasons together.

Really? I thought they were superior players their first two seasons. I believed in them back then about a billion times more than I do now. I find that a strange assessment.

[cd021]

no you can't. If it's under 2 mins and we foul jordan and he doesn't have the ball, the clippers can choose their free throw shooter.

I thought it was free throw + sideout under 2 minutes if intentionallly fouled

[mexicanjunior]

And you know this because?

...they are playing like shit?

[ElNono]

Feel better, E-N. Flu sucks


Get better mi llanta. Maybe Manu can feel your sickness and it's translating to his shitty play. We need you guys.

thx :toast

[timtonymanu]

Duncan had 22 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks. How is that barely better than pitiful? It was a near pitiful 22-14-3? It's not like Jordan and Griffin are any good, i suppose.

His defense was absolutely terrible though. I guarantee Baynes would have done a better job defending their bigs today than Tim.

[100%duncan]

i'm not a big fan of TP and kawhi is my 2nd favorite player on the team.

but you have terrible double standards. when tony made a few shots in a row in the 4th, you didn't say anything. then kawhi makes one and you were all up in arms "WHY DID WE GO AWAY FROM HIM :cry :cry :cry"... kawhi made 2 threes late when the game was basically decided, and then the next possession, he walked the ball up the court and put up a long, contested 2. it was a poor possession. it was heroball. even if he made it, it would have been heroball.

but because he is lord kawhi he is exempt from legitimate criticism? no thanks. if you have to call me a kawhi hater or parker lover to feel better about it, that's on you

When did tony make a few shots in a row in the 4th? In between there were 2 occasions of 2 missed free throws. :lmao



Making shit up. Kawhi hater. :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

Clippers shot over 53%.... thats just pathetic for the Spurs defense.

[tim_duncan_fan]

yeah. even in last year's playoff run, manu had the ability to take a game over for stretches. now i'm just happy if he can make a shot or two before he sits out

I just wish he could still dribble the ball and walk at the same time. In the majority of his minutes he's either falling over or throwing the ball to the competition and if he's not doing either of those, he's committing really, really stupid fouls.

It's tiring.

[james evans]

I thought it was free throw + sideout under 2 minutes if intentionallly fouled
yeah. it's freethrows and possession, but I thought you could choose the freethrow shooter too. I'd have to look into it.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

...they are playing like shit?

Yeah today but I fully expect the to play much better next game. If you can't see this oh well...

[cd021]

People not talking about Diaw. Clippers ignoring him from 3 and he's 0-9 in 4 games. Last season was a 40% 3pt shooter, Even this year hit around 1/3 of his 3's. Alot of pump fakes and drives. Hasn't done much in terms of post scoring. His real plus in this series has been his passing and rebounding. Has had moments defensively.

[beirmeistr]

It is such a tragedy that the Spurs won-t give an allout effort to take possession of home court. first new orleans, now this .

[cd021]

yeah. it's freethrows and possession, but I thought you could choose the freethrow shooter too. I'd have to look into it.

I though that was if a player got injured. If he can't shoot them than he can't return but they can pick his replacement.

[Ice009]

Anyone bagging Duncan, what the fuck? Look at his fucking leg, it's fucked. He can't play defense like he used to. He used to have amazing lateral quickness (for a big) when he was younger, he just can't play defense like he used to anymore because of his leg. We're lucky he's even been able to get on the court and still play at this age. The Spurs need other guys stepping up on defense, unfortunately, they can't do it.

Not playing Baynes is a mistake. Like someone said, Pop seems to follow up some of his best coaching years with fucking shocking ones the year after. No wonder his teams can't repeat. Overall coaching, personnel decisions and rotations seem to be his weakness following a great coaching season.

[cd021]

His defense was absolutely terrible though. I guarantee Baynes would have done a better job defending their bigs today than Tim.

Baynes wouldn't have helped. He's about average defensively. He's a pretty good athlete in terms of vertical but his lateral movement is slow. Griffin would have burned him with the face up.

[Ice009]

People not talking about Diaw. Clippers ignoring him from 3 and he's 0-9 in 4 games. Last season was a 40% 3pt shooter, Even this year hit around 1/3 of his 3's. Alot of pump fakes and drives. Hasn't done much in terms of post scoring. His real plus in this series has been his passing and rebounding. Has had moments defensively.

I've said numerous times throughout the season that I think his weight is affecting his outside shot. To me it looks like he's shooting his threes with all arms and no legs. It doesn't look like he's shooting any of his threes with any lift at all from his legs, just using his arms instead. His weight last season looked much better in the playoffs to me. I'd love to know what his weight is right now in comparison to this time last year in the playoffs.

[timtonymanu]

Baynes wouldn't have helped. He's about average defensively. He's a pretty good athlete in terms of vertical but his lateral movement is slow. Griffin would have burned him with the face up.

It was more hyperbole than anything. Duncan was just that terrible on defense today, tbh.

[spurraider21]

When did tony make a few shots in a row in the 4th? In between there were 2 occasions of 2 missed free throws. :lmao



Making shit up. Kawhi hater. :lmao
yeah he blew two free throws there and i made note of it during the game, i didn't ignore it. he did score 6 points that 2 minute stretch including the missed FT's. he was 7-15 for the game and hardly the biggest problem on the floor. and in case you missed it... here


we saw some of parker's decline last year too. outside of the portland series (and games 1/2 against OKC) he wasn't a big factor in the postseason. he wasn't the same in the regular season either. the numbers looked fine, but spurfans watching the games saw he wasn't the same as "mvparker" from 2012 and 2013... when he was playing like a top 5 player in the league for long stretches

but a lot of us assumed and hoped it was because of fatigue... long playoff runs and offseason international play. he signed the extension, and he took the summer off, and we were hoping the time off would allow him to bounce back, but his regression has only furthered. i think we have to accept we're not getting the same TP again. the bright side is our offense is evolving and is being run more through Leonard than ever before. TP's contract number isn't going to reflect what we're getting on the floor, but it won't sting quite as bad when the new cba kicks in

i still think parker can be helpful as long as he isn't trying to do too much

[Ice009]

Baynes wouldn't have helped. He's about average defensively. He's a pretty good athlete in terms of vertical but his lateral movement is slow. Griffin would have burned him with the face up.

I would have just used him for some spot minutes to rest Duncan and send him out there to lay some hard fouls. I wouldn't have played him much. This team just needs some toughness out there instead of that pussy Splitter playing like a girl.

[cd021]

Baynes isn't right for this series. Spurs have to have spacing Playing 4 bigs who can't space the floor plus Cojo and Parker (who can't or don't shoot 3's well enough) and Green being a poor 3pt shooter on the road along with Manu this season. Add in poor FT shooting and the Spurs sketchy play from Parker and Manu. Bonner makes more sense as the 4th big. Its really only about 10 minutes of floor time but Bonner is more likely to be a plus in that time.

Blake Griffin did something to his left shoulder there at the end. Couldn't use both arms to inbound the ball.

[100%duncan]

He blew 4 freethrows. 2 occasions smh.


And for the quote no we are not running our offense with Kawhi more :lol The only significant touches he had in the 4th were when we were already down by 16 pts

[mexicanjunior]

Yeah today but I fully expect the to play much better next game. If you can't see this oh well...

All I see is them getting blown the fuck out until they crawl to the off season. If you think "Believe" will help their shitty play, have at it.

[milkyway21]

2-2 heading for L.A. game 5 :cry

I think the Spurs (except for Green & Splitter), played well esp Kawhi.

What went wrong with Green? Just lost his stroke..0-6 unusual :cry I really have so much confidence in him, now I'm worried..3 games in-a- row guys. :D But I still want him to play 30 min on the floor that Beli can't just replace him.

IMO this game is on :pop. Bad game plan. Too much Splitter. Too much offense for Parker(shld've played more PG)..

Well, I hope I am right. If not. let's just hope for a better SPurs game 5.. In.Lala land. (:cry) ..with the Clipper's confidence back on, it will be a big battle for a 3-2 adv for both teams.

[spurraider21]

He blew 4 freethrows. 2 occasions smh.

have you not watched the spurs in 2015?

serious question

[100%duncan]

have you not watched the spurs in 2015?

serious question

???

Both games we lost this series were due to Kawhi being ignored for stretches in the 4th.

The offense is still shit if Manu and Patty don't bail out the 2nd unit. The starting unit still depends on TP and TD pnrs. What are you watching?
