Lose game 4, you lose the series. Win and you win the series..IMO.

[apalisoc_9]

your thoughts?

[Robz4000]

Agreed, though if Splitter really is getting healthier I could see the Spurs taking games 5 and 6. He's the real X-factor.

[dabom]

No brainer.

[Silver&Black]

Only half agree...

Win and you win the series....totally agree with you. We're not losing 3 straight to the Clippers.
Lose and you lose the series....We've already won one game in LA....what makes you think we couldn't do it again?

[100%duncan]

Nope

[ElNono]

I dunno about that. I think a Game 4 win would obviously put a ton on pressure on the Clippers... a loss turns this into a 3 game series...

So this is a great opportunity for the Spurs, but a must-win for the Clippers...

[Stabula]

Game 4 win, Spurs win the series no question. Game 4 loss then its a toss-up but with the Spurs still favored because Clippers have no bench and aren't meant for winning battles of attrition.

[spurraider21]

game 4 is a must for the clips, but a "golly gee it would be great" for the spurs

[RD2191]

I agree, the ideal scenario would be to win game 4 at home. Lose 5 in LA and wrap it up in 6 at home. Clips will probably win in 7 if they win game 4.

[lil'mo]

Ideal scenario is to lose game 5? :rolleyes

:lmao

[z0sa]

It's been 12 years since they changed the first round format to a bo7.

Try to keep up.

[Mal]

Nope. Lose doesnt define series. Win is game over for Clippers. They wont win 3 out of 3 vs Spurs

[szkorhetz]

I just don't want us to go back to LA with the series tied, TBH. Finish them off, ASAP.

[EVAY]

If Spurs lose and it becomes a best-of-three series with the Clippers having HC for two of those games...not a good situation for us. We could do it, but it sure would make it harder.

We need this one. The Clips HAVE to have this one.

Can't wait for it to start.

[K...]

Really depends. I'm really buying the spurs always play at 80% opponents must get to 90%.

The story this far is that the clippers have less talent overall. There only possible remedy is for cp and Riddick both need to be playing at maximum effort for a whole game. The spurs have bigger faster and more wing defense than thre clips have offense.

That won't change if the spurs lose g4.

Game 3 again saw the spurs miss a ton of shots. It's just as likely that this afternoon is a massacre from beyond the arc rather then kawhi Jordan.

But, maybe we shoot poorly again and doc finds a way to confuse kawhi, and Chris Paul doesn't lose his cool. Maybe clips win. The burden of effort though is on the clips and anything they show tonight will be countered. The spurs smell blood I'm sure

[#2!]

No brainer.

All you do is agree with OP. I can't think of a single time when his opinion wasn't exactly the same as yours. I figure this is just a troll account, which would be sad that someone would make a fake name just so it would look like people agree. If it's not, and you care enough about basketball to be on this site all day, you should probably look further into the sport, and develop your own opinions.

edit: typo

[EVAY]

My guess is that Reddick and Paul will both play with some desperation this afternoon, and lots of shots will be going up from each of them. Question will be how the game is called relative to our wing defenders. Green and Leonard's defense can stop those two IF the refs don't get one or the other in foul trouble.

[hater]

dumb take as usual

[SpursFan86]

Today's game is huge...a best of 3 series with LAC having the first and last games at home would not be a good scenario.

[Aztecfan03]

win game 4 =win series
lose game 4 makes game 5 almost a must win

[EVAY]

dumb take as usual

what and why?

[Mugen]

The Spurs have been terrific at home. A loss today would be tough to recover from. I agree with retard OP that the winner of today wins the series.

[unleashbaynes]

it's the Spurs. when we need a win we can get it anywhere, anytime. Our season does not hinge on a game 4 of a first round series.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Disagree. If we lose this game, then this scenario will apply for Game 5.

[hater]

what and why?

This game won't decide the series. spurs can win in LA just as well as they can win here.

Worst case for spurs besides injury is they get pushed to 7 games. Which I doubt. And even then that game 7 would be a toss up.

The longer the series goes the more pressure and more tired legs for choke Paul and his gang of chokers

So saying this game will decide the series is plain dumb

[tmtcsc]

You know what? I think you should take a break from starting threads. Spurs are the better team no matter where they play and if you can't see that by now, you aren't paying attention.

[hater]

Now if OP had said today's game will decide whether its a short or long series then he'd have a great point. Lose today and 7 games is likely.

We don't want to lose today.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Team that goes up 3-1 almost always wins. It almost doesn't even qualify as a take, as usual it didn't require a thread. Apil just can't be stopped.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

We already have...?


:lol Clips in 5

[xellos88330]

I don't think this game decides the series. All todays game will do is decide who controls the series. The Spurs have shown they can win in LA even with a Hack-a-Jordan backfire, and the Spurs still not up to par from the 3 point line (missing wide open 3's with the teams best 3 point shooters taking the shots). If the Spurs win game 4, the Clippers are finished as the OP stated. If the Clippers win, the series is still very much in the air because the Clippers have the ability to play bonehead basketball when the pressure is on.

[soxxx]

Disagree. If we lose this game, then this scenario will apply for Game 5.
I agree here. If we lose this game its only 2-2. We will win game 6 no matter what imo, so that means we would have two chances to win in LA.

On the flipside, if the Spurs win today this series is over. This series is not over if we lose. The Clippers would still have to beat the Spurs two more times....think about that for a second.

[ElNono]

It will be what it will be... sit back and enjoy the game

[RD2191]

We already have...?


:lol Clips in 5
Clips in 6, that's all I'm saying.:wakeup

[therealtruth]

Got to win today if we want to win it all. We're not trying to win the series but the championship. Also this isn't like last year where we will have homecourt in game 7. Game 7 on the road is one of the toughest games to win.

[in2deep]

Clippers in 5, I'm faggot.

[Budkin]

Everything has been so up and down this season I'm not sure what to expect. Clips will be playing out of desperation though.

Not exactly, but if Spurs win they are almost there winning the series.
