The sequence that changed the game..

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs up by 3, Chris Paul misses a jump shot with 2:30 remaining in the game..

Spurs get the rebound, but rather than running the clock and running the offense, Parker goes 1 vs. 2 and misses a floater, which leads to a Clippers transition 3 for Matt Barnes..tie game, timeout..

Disgusting..

[Richie]

There were many moments, but that one sticks out in my mind.


We just couldn't get the stops, oh well.

[Budkin]

I can't believe it was even this close tbh. Thought we were going to get murdered in the 2nd half.

[SinceWeDraftedDROB]

Yep. That was game. Terrible decision, but if it went in we win.

[ernest787]

stupid. this was a coin flip game and a coin flip series.

Either team could have won this and it just fell the wrong way this time.

[vander]

HH with the propaganda ready to go, ready to capitalize on the loss...

disgusting

[Malik Hairston]

There were many moments, but that one sticks out in my mind.


We just couldn't get the stops, oh well.

As stupid as it may have been to think, I thought the Spurs would ice the game on the subsequent possession, tbh..seemed like a backbreaker for the Clippers..

Matt Barnes making the 3, too, of all people..ugh..

[dabom]

He also lost the handle on a rebound and got swiped then committed a foul. That's where we lost the game.

[Robz4000]

Agreed.

[Silver&Black]

Yeah...it wasn't the smartest thing to do. That's for sure.

Run clock TP....jesus christ.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs go from champions last year, to a team that is clearly not a contender. Massive fall off from last year. Yet, we had a reasonable chance to advance beyond this round, if not for the tendency to choke under pressure. So, we end up with a championship bookended by a couple of pathetic chokes.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

2 fast break points period. KL missing that swooping layup, Many getting it knocked off his leg. List goes on...

[spurraider21]

it was actually a good look, but he blew the bunny... per par

[Blizzardwizard]

Neat.

[slick'81]

I was saying take it at him !and my pops was all pull it out lol

[Diego20]

OP is right, instead of using the entire clock he tried a layup.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

It was a 2 point game that came down to a shot with 1 second left, basically any sequence turning out different would have changed the game lol. Duncan fouling CP3, Kawhi missing those shots, Diaw's hand being 1 inch lower to block Crawford's layup, etc.

[Mikeanaro]

The other day was game 6 part deux, tonight we had game 7 part deux, Porker killed us with those dumb plays and lets not forget Kiwi either.

Manu did this the first time against Miami.

I have said it repeatedly. With a lead time is your enemy, especially when you are old. A shot clock violation beats an early brick all day long. Always.

[hommeaetage]

That mishandled rebound is what killed us, we had them on the ropes

I was yelling at the TV for Tony to slow it down and sure as shit he drives right in for the brick.

the only thing in this thread that makes sense.

I hate this site sometimes.

[Slippy]

This one stands out the most. The Pg play between the teams is worlds apart

[mexicanjunior]

He also lost the handle on a rebound and got swiped then committed a foul. That's where we lost the game.

Parker had a lot of losing plays but this one stuck out the most to me.

[UZER]

So many blown fastbreak layups this game.

[siraulo23]

I can't believe it was even this close tbh. Thought we were going to get murdered in the 2nd half.

It was close because the Spurs outplayed the Clippers most of the night, Barnes/Reddick and Paul showed up and knocked down huge 3s. If it wasnt for uncharactersitic mistakes by the Spurs, they win in double digit but the Clippers, it might be their time right now

Like I said, low IQ player. Has no clue how to control the pace of a game. All that fuck knows how to do is dribble until he can shoot. A real point guard knows you get the rebound, run clock and execute down the stretch. I lost count how many transition threes the Clippers got because of Parker's fuck ups tonight.

[emanueldavidginobili]

No. 97-92 tony gets the rebound cp3 strips it and 2 possessions later it's 97-97

Disgusting..do you ever post without saying something bad at tp

[slick'81]

yup up parker let cp3 take that one from him

[K...]

Great game. Cp3 couldn't be stopped. You tip your hats t to the best player.

[DarrinS]

My recliner is damaged after that possession

[DMC]

It's the best thing that could have happened. Imagine Tony does well this game but the Spurs lose a close one. Tony is now back at the forefront in Pop's mind. Right now Pop and RC know that Tony cannot lead the offense on this team if Tim walks away. Oh he can, but right to the lottery.

At least i can look forward to May without worrying about the next series. Now I can enjoy the playoffs, see if Curry is what I think he might be.. stay tuned.

[slick'81]

do you ever post without saying something bad at tp


He he got what he wanted lol spurs lost and he gets an entire offseason to bitch about tony new fat contract

[ducks]

I remember Leonard layup half way done missed they get a three timeout spurs

[~O~]

It was the two JJ Redick three's for me.


and to add to that, I've never seen JJ Redick come up that big for the Magic in the playoffs..ever. Especially as a starter.

[slick'81]

I remember Leonard layup half way done missed they get a three timeout spurs


Leonard shit hit the bed worse then Parker tonight atleast tony played like he wanted to win .but all your hear the next few months is tony tony tony

[Sean Cagney]

I can't believe it was even this close tbh. Thought we were going to get murdered in the 2nd half.

I did as well, they stayed in it and took the lead late even. I hate GAME 7 road games man, from 013 to this one. This was a tough loss tonight. This series was one of the best I have seen in a while but they came up a little short on that end. I am glad they won that #5 all in all, this one hurts but the overall body of work is satisfying.

[024]

I think that floater is a shot Parker would have made 1-2 years ago. I don't fault him for taking that shot... I fault him for mentally and physically regressing so badly this season.

Parker really needs to understand the Spurs offense lives and dies with him. Hopefully he gets back to shape and shows this abomination of a season is fixable. He needs to be effective enough to be a diversion so shooters get open looks. But things don't look good. With Ginobili most likely retiring, the Spurs will lose a playmaker. Without his speed, Parker is just a below average point guard in a league full of talented PGs.

[ElNono]

Lots of missed shots at close range.... one more story of this series...

[Malik Hairston]

Manu did this the first time against Miami.

I have said it repeatedly. With a lead time is your enemy, especially when you are old. A shot clock violation beats an early brick all day long. Always.

Yep..there was no reason to rush a shot there, especially from a player that can't shoot..

[spursparker9]

and to add to that, I've never seen JJ Redick come up that big for the Magic in the playoffs..ever. Especially as a starter.


He become clutch since he came to LA

[PingPong]

That stupid hack-a-jordan. Jordan missed, Fat Baby got the rebound and some scrub hit the three... Pop needs to give up this ugly hack-a-nigga.

[Rito3d30]

why would Parker use a floater against fucking Reddick:bang

[TD 21]

As stupid as it may have been to think, I thought the Spurs would ice the game on the subsequent possession, tbh..seemed like a backbreaker for the Clippers..

Matt Barnes making the 3, too, of all people..ugh..

Considering we usually see things the same way, I'm surprised you got sucked in. I never thought the Spurs were going to win, no matter how 50/50 it seemed.

As for the play you're referring to, you could debate it either way. He did get a clean look at a floater, with only Redick even semi-close. I'm not going to lay this at his feet. Sometimes these things are seemingly inevitable, no matter what you do and this one always felt that way to me.

[Hemotivo]

[baseline bum]

Honestly, the game was over when Reddick hit the three to go up 101-99. It was Lawler's Law.

Doesn't hurt at all. Spurs were banged up man! And they still took it to the clippers.

As long as we kicked Dwade and Lebron's ass, I'm a happy camper.

Hopefully we can land Gasol his offseason if Duncan takes a paycut.

[jag]

Patty Mills needed to be in the game at the end. No question about it. It was infuriating watching Tony attack the basket against 2-3 defenders, only to get stuffed or miss badly.

[wtgspurs]

Mein...fuck this

[FkLA]

Hero should've slowed it down and dumped it down to old reliable. No Jordan in the game. Timmy would've carried us home just like he has so many times.

[Sean Cagney]

^^^ That last part says it all, we got them back after that 013 loss and that was the icing on the cake. Spurs played hard.

[spursparker9]

Props to Matt Barnes outplaying FMVP and DPOY is the most important game of the series.

Hitting 3s, grabbing that crucial off.reb from a missed FT, shutting down FMVP and blocking that last alley oop plays

[crc21209]

Fuck man. Harlem is absolutely right. I was fucking yelling for Tony to pull that ball back, and fuck man...just sucks right now. You hit it on the head Harlem, this was the sequence of the game.

[TheGreatYacht]

50 seconds left, tie game... KawhISO pulls up from 18, brick

Yup. One of the dumbest PG's I've ever seen in my life. Just a stupid, stupid player. He'll go down in history as one of the most overrated point guards of his generation. Carried to multiple rings because of Timmy and Manu.

[TD 21]

50 seconds left, tie game... KawhISO pulls up from 18, brick

The play calling/execution out of timeouts was worse this season than any I can remember and flat out atrocious in the playoffs. It's as if they turned into the Raptors overnight.

It was also a season of bad luck. I can't recall seeing more high degree of difficult buzzer beaters and it burned them again tonight, though I blame them on some of the Paul ones. The guy has a messed up hamstring and instead of making him create, they allow him to step into wide open threes.

[Johnny RIngo]

Tony was NEVER a point guard. He grew up idolizing Michael Jordan. Like Kobe, all he wanted to be was a heroballer. What the French faggot never realized was he never had the talent to actually follow through. His extremely poor career playoff percentages reflects this.

[Arcadian]

Reasons we lost:

1) Couldn't score on fast breaks. Leonard and Parker in particular should have scored on some of those.

2) Didn't make enough free throws. 13/20 isn't good enough in a game 7.

3) Left 3-point shooters wide open several times. And they made all of them.

4) Didn't use enough clock at the end. Basically the OP nailed this point.

In that order.

[Skull-1]

That mishandled rebound is what killed us, we had them on the ropes


Ansolutely. Get that. Win.

Hmmmm....just like 6.

[baseline bum]

Manu did this the first time against Miami.

I have said it repeatedly. With a lead time is your enemy, especially when you are old. A shot clock violation beats an early brick all day long. Always.

It's not about running clock. Trying to run clock with a lead is how Paul choked Game 5 away in OKC last year. Parker should have pulled it out not because of the clock, but because he sucks now and wasn't going to hit that layup.

[TheGreatYacht]

The play calling/execution out of timeouts was worse this season than any I can remember and flat out atrocious in the playoffs. It's as if they turned into the Raptors overnight.
Doc outcoached Pop the whole series, out of time outs, rotations, P&R's, defensive rotations, called out the refs.... Pop was garbage at play calling after timeouts the whole season. It's always a Manu ISO, Duncan fadeaway, or a lob (Duncan's lucky lob where Asik tipped it in)

[baseline bum]

If that was Manu with the ball I'd say absolutely go for the layup. Or even if it was 2014 Parker. Or 2002 Parker.

[therealtruth]

The mishandled rebound and those fastbreaks TP blew. Doug Collins used to say it all the time. Usually when you miss an easy fastbreak on one end it ends up burning you.

[therealtruth]

If that was Manu with the ball I'd say absolutely go for the layup. Or even if it was 2014 Parker. Or 2002 Parker.

TP used to be a 1-man fastbreak.

[TDfan2007]

TP being shift with the rebound then fouling Blake when we were up 5 with all of the momentum was the game-changer.

Paul's 3 after Manu's bricked FT was also huge.

Or maybe any of those missed transition opportunities that led to clipper 3s the other way.

Bottom line is that the clippers stepped up and hit big shots in the last minute and our guys didn't.

Also, that last play was atrocious

You're both right. These are not mutually exclusive. The Spurs might have been able to withstand one of these huge miscues, but not both. And both by Parker.

[james evans]

freethrows is what killed us. The clippers outside of Jordan, hit their freethrows. We haven't hit outrs the whole series. I was shocked that doc rivers didn't do the hack a shaq with duncan and splitter. We sucked at the line this series.

You're right. He was trying to do too much. The annoying thing about the rebound is Green saved it and all TP had to do was grab it with 2 hands. Multiple times the Spurs failed to secure the rebounds because they just were strong with the ball and grabbing it with two hands. The Clippers made much fewer mistakes than the Spurs. Alot of the Spurs issuses were self-inflicted.

[HI-FI]

Like I said, low IQ player. Has no clue how to control the pace of a game. All that fuck knows how to do is dribble until he can shoot.

Another of your truth bombs on porker.

[SASdynasty!]

Didn't Parker go down and make 2 clutch shots right after this? I agree it was a early in the shot clock but let's be honest. Outside of Parker and Duncan, no one was willing to shoot in crunch time.

[LakerHater]

Hated that Chris Paul went out for awhile with his injury & Blake Griffin picked up his 3rd & hadta sit, Spurs could pull away!
