Game Thread: Spurs vs Clippers -- Fri. (12/18) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[daslicer]

Not Kawhi's fault that was bs foul call. CP3 grabbed Kawhi's arm.

[SpurPadre]

Stupid ass foul by Kawhi.

[ElNono]

this shit going long... have a plane to catch to Texas tomorrow...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Popabitch :pctoss wasting that opportunity! What a fucking moron.

[Kawhitstorm]

Bench has been ass outside of Diaw

[100%duncan]

Why didnt they advance the ball

[TheDoctor]

What shitty play

[Ice009]

If I were to ever play against against Chris Paul, I would probably physically hurt him and get a lifetime ban. I'd love to have Bruce back right about now.

[Fireball]

Not Kawhi's fault that was bs foul call. CP3 grabbed Kawhi's arm.

with only a few seconds just put your arms up and defend ... no need to try and steal the ball

[hater]

If clits keep shooting like this they deserve the W imo

[ElNono]

Bench has been ass outside of Diaw

uh? the whole bench is positive except West with a zero

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Crowd energy has been shit tonight tbh.

Pretty typical for Texas sports, tbh. Ever seen the Mavs, Cowboys or Texans play a home game?

[Arcadian]

Not worried, tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Refs shitting on us per par, didn't even let them advance the ball

[Gametight]

damn hope Patty didn't fuck his wrist up on that fall.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

uh? the whole bench is positive except West with a zero

D-Worst is a zero, tbh

[SpurPadre]

This is so frustrating to watch.

[timtonymanu]

Why didnt they advance the ball

They called timeout full court.

[Kawhitstorm]

Poop takes out LMA and we allow an offensive rebound.

Poop :lmao

Hopefully, he saving him for the 2nd half b/c I don't want West to take off his warmups

[daslicer]

with only a few seconds just put your arms up and defend ... no need to try and steal the ball

I definitely agree you should be cautious in that situation and play it safe but still that call was bs. I'm not going to be upset at Kawhi for that play since he didn't do anything illegal. He was unlucky with that BS Harden like foul CP3 was able to get.

[ElNono]

we'll make a run sooner or later.... this game or next game... bank on it

[Horry Hipcheck]

Looking forward to the Clips regressing to their mean in the second half.

[Fireball]

If I were to ever play against against Chris Paul, I would probably physically hurt him and get a lifetime ban.

Griffin is not far behind tbh ... you touch him and its like a pushed button making his head snap back so the referee reacts ... on par with Harden as well

[UNT Eagles 2016]

too much scoring...yuck

[Kawhitstorm]

uh? the whole bench is positive except West with a zero

Rivers was abusing Patty & Manu was in Turnobili mode

[Fireball]

I definitely agree you should be cautious in that situation and play it safe but still that call was bs. I'm not going to be upset at Kawhi for that play since he didn't do anything illegal. He was unlucky with that BS Harden like foul CP3 was able to get.

yeah, you really should not put the ref into the situation of a difficult call

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Griffin is not far behind tbh ... you touch him and its like a pushed button making his head snap back so the referee reacts ... on par with Harden as well
still not as bad as Durfag/Westbrick

[Mal]

So Stephenson is the only scrub without points for Clippers?

[RD2191]

Kawhi better go fucking MVP in the 2nd half.

[SPURt]

Clips shoot over 55% with the refs in their pocket and still can't grab a lead. Should be a better 2nd half defensively for the good guys.

[timtonymanu]

We survived that game because of the bench. The starters are getting outplayed badly though. We're lucky the game is tied.

[TheDoctor]

If I were to ever play against against Chris Paul, I would probably physically hurt him and get a lifetime ban. I'd love to have Bruce back right about now.
A flying kick to the face would be nice:lol

http://incipiatturba.net/images/lost/bowen_szczerbiak2.gif

[Kawhitstorm]

Not Kawhi's fault that was bs foul call. CP3 grabbed Kawhi's arm.

He reached in, it's like the rip through move

[ElNono]

Blake Griffin says 'it's not always fair' how referees handle spats with Clippers

"I watch a lot of basketball games and I watch a lot of guys react to certain plays," Griffin said late Wednesday night, "and I see our guys do the same thing and sometimes it's not quite the same amount of cushion, so we need to be better and I think we've put ourselves in that position, but it's not always fair."

http://www.latimes.com/sports/clippers/la-sp-clippers-report-20151218-story.html

:cry:cry:cry

[Russo21]

I only checked in to watch the game midway through the 2nd quarter (forgot there was a game on, my bad!) Leonard looked pretty shit on defence from what I saw. Hope he defends like a man possessed in the 2.d half like we all know he can. Less than impressed from my small sample just then though. How did he look earlier in the half?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We survived that game because of the bench. The starters are getting outplayed badly though. We're lucky the game is tied.

the flippers' bench is trash.

[ElNono]

Rivers was abusing Patty & Manu was in Turnobili mode

yet they're +2 and +3

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I don't know about y'all, but I'm actually looking forward to more HAJ in the second half if we get in the penalty early enough (likely).

[SAGirl]

Bench has been ass outside of Diaw

West isn't going to cut it for us in the playoffs. We saw how Kanter/Ibaka/Adams destroyed him.
Josh Smith humiliated him.
We have seen him struggle against lower tier teams
Chicago absolutely owned our entire bench.
...
I know Pop doesn't show everything in the RS, but its been a concern for a while.
Patty is a problem on defense too.

[m33p0]

first time watching a spurs game this season. good luck, guys.

[100%duncan]

They called timeout full court.

Yah but didnt they have an option of advancing? Like in end game situations?

[313]

Just turned the game on. How did we give up 55 to these clowns?

Our oppg :cry

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yah but didnt they have an option of advancing? Like in end game situations?

they do, pop screwed the pooch as per par

[ElNono]

Yah but didnt they have an option of advancing? Like in end game situations?

Not in the 1st half.... you have to bring the ball across

[daslicer]

We survived that game because of the bench. The starters are getting outplayed badly though. We're lucky the game is tied.

Not true the Starters have outscored the Clippers starters 46-41 while the Clippers bench has outscored the Spurs bench 14-9.

[Ice009]

Griffin is not far behind tbh ... you touch him and its like a pushed button making his head snap back so the referee reacts ... on par with Harden as well

He wouldn't be faking flopping against me, he'd be fighting for his life. I wish this was the 90s. People really need to put this flopper down. Guys that base a good deal of their game on flopping will never get respect from me. Paul, Harden, such pathetic players. No way was Harden even close to Curry for MVP. Fucker got what he deserved last season in both the playoffs and MVP voting.

[testies]

West is terrible.

[timtonymanu]

Just turned the game on. How did we give up 55 to these clowns?

Our oppg :cry

Blake, Paul, and Redick can't miss tonight. And Rivers was going off on Patty.

[KL2]

Doc has already played Moute close to his average mpg, he's using him to combat Leonard in the post, he's a black hole on offense though. Idk if la can keep this up.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Just turned the game on. How did we give up 55 to these clowns?

Our oppg :cry

Nobody's bothering to even try to contest a jumper. Griffin is getting all he can eat with little resistance. And we're not even stopping their white guy shooting specialist. And Paul is getting a ton of bullshit freebies. Add that all up...

[coachmac87]

Spurs lucky for game to be tied with the Clippers making pretty much everything..

[EVAY]

Before all the wrists get slit, CP3 has shot 3 of 5 with 3 assists. Parker has shot 2 of 3 with 3 assists.
Blake is 5 of 10, 4 rebounds. LMA is 6 of 10 with 5 rebounds.

Their two big stars are being matched, for the most part. The difference is elsewhere, and some of that is the refs. Ed Malloy is going to do whatever he damn well pleases. I just hope he is looking at some of the first half bad calls at the half time.

[m33p0]

and if the spurs lose and blame me for it.... well, f*ck you!

[Kawhitstorm]

yet they're +2 and +3

Bruh, it all in relatively: West is ONLY "0" but he was worst player on both squads

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs defense is getting exposed. Soft schedule led to inflated stats. No biggie, if we can somehow keep the Clippers to under 50% shooting we can win this.

David West needs to be bought out ASAP.

[timtonymanu]

Not true the Starters have outscored the Clippers starters 46-41 while the Clippers bench has outscored the Spurs bench 14-9.

They were a lot better to close the half but they had a slow start. The bench helped the team get back in the game though.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Not in the 1st half.... you have to bring the ball across

really? never knew that... if that's true pardon pop

:cry:cry:cry
for sure..
what a crybaby.
could not a be a spur.
We get the least calls anywhere I believe.

[TheGreatYacht]

Will ESPN show GS-MIL during the second half?

[ElNono]

I thought we contested a lot of shots... they just made them... even Griffin nailing a 3 pointer... hopefully it'll go back to the mean in the 2nd half..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

package D-Worst + Green + Anderson for ~$13m star and a filler tbh

And yet Tim was spectacular.

Chicago absolutely owned our entire bench.
...
I know Pop doesn't show everything in the RS, but its been a concern for a while.
Patty is a problem on defense too.

Pop plays a 3 big rotation in the playoffs. It was TD Splitter Bobo before with around 5-10 mina of baynes. Its gonna be the same with west

Guess the NBA decided to yield to his whining tonight.

[objective]

West will cost the team playoff games and a playoff series if pop lets him.

[bic50]

and if the spurs lose and blame me for it.... well, f*ck you!

:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I thought we contested a lot of shots... they just made them... even Griffin nailing a 3 pointer... hopefully it'll go back to the mean in the 2nd half..

Griffin got a ton that were wide the **** open. And you don't let that white guy shoot, no matter what. Crowd him, make him drive and he'll likely screw up and travel or throw it away or something. Never let him shoot under any circumstance, though.

[daslicer]

Before all the wrists get slit, CP3 has shot 3 of 5 with 3 assists. Parker has shot 2 of 3 with 3 assists.
Blake is 5 of 10, 4 rebounds. LMA is 6 of 10 with 5 rebounds.

Their two big stars are being matched, for the most part. The difference is elsewhere, and some of that is the refs. Ed Malloy is going to do whatever he damn well pleases. I just hope he is looking at some of the first half bad calls at the half time.

It seems like ED is rigging the game for the Clippers. They were two blatant no calls where Ginobili was hacked and then there was that play Duncan has post up position on CP3 and got hacked. It's very odd to have 3 blatant no calls in 1 game. He also called that bs foul against Kawhi at the end of quarter.

[keeferob25]

Not true the Starters have outscored the Clippers starters 46-41 while the Clippers bench has outscored the Spurs bench 14-9.

Also, we really only have the advantage at the 3 and 5 positions. Paul is much better than parker. Their shooting guard can actually shoot and Blake is better than every PF other than AD. Our bench is designed to either bring us out of a deficit or widen a lead.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pop plays a 3 big rotation in the playoffs. It was TD Splitter Bobo before with around 5-10 mina of baynes. Its gonna be the same with west

I'd rather have 5-10 minutes of Boban instead of D-Worst.

[steeledl]

Get Kawhi off of reddick. He is giving him fits and making him work. Let Danny do the best he can and keep Leonard fresh for offense

[RD2191]

West will cost the team playoff games and a playoff series if pop lets him.
Same as Patty. Austin Rivers skull fucking him is a big reason we lost against the Clips last season.

[Mnky]

They just said spurs are undefeated when Aldridge is the leading scorer. Interesting tidbit. Hopefully he finishes strong.

[ElNono]

Griffin got a ton that were wide the **** open. And you don't let that white guy shoot, no matter what. Crowd him, make him drive and he'll likely screw up and travel or throw it away or something. Never let him shoot under any circumstance, though.

Nah, we'll give him that shot... he's shooting 40% from there, his lowest percentage.... 47% from the top of the key and even more inside...

[m33p0]

that 10-18 t-shirt is just childish. what if next time out, bucks beat the dubs again? what now?

[TheGreatYacht]

677991156282613760

We are playing game 8 of that series..
One of the worst coaching performances I've ever seen.

Hacking Jordan as soon as your team is on the verge of blowing the Clips out. Switching after every pick, leaving a guard on Griffin. Benching Belinelli when he has like 30 points and 6 threes. Botched last play by the clock keeper, you have two timeouts but say fuck it and run the same play that failed miserably

[spursistan]

FT count: Clippers 11, Spurs 5...Ed Malloy, tbh.

[TDfan2007]

Same shit different day against this Clippers team. Griffin and Paul are hitting everything from outside and Reddick is getting all he can eat against Kawhi/Danny...I guess this is just a matchup thing.

[steeledl]

that 10-18 t-shirt is just childish. what if next time out, bucks beat the dubs again? what now?

Lif simply won't happen. Warriors are too good.

[TheDoctor]

Will ESPN show GS-MIL during the second half?
LOL you know it

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Nah, we'll give him that shot... he's shooting 40% from there, his lowest percentage.... 47% from the top of the key and even more inside...

When I say that white guy I'm not talking about mixed guy Griffin tbh. I'm talking about that 6'1" pr*ck playing "shooting guard" tbh.

[EVAY]

It seems like ED is rigging the game for the Clippers. They were two blatant no calls where Ginobili was hacked and then there was that play Duncan has post up position on CP3 and got hacked. It's very odd to have 3 blatant no calls in 1 game. He also called that bs foul against Kawhi at the end of quarter.

I agree. That is kind of my point...they were so blatant he might decide to even things out.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FT count: Clippers 11, Spurs 5...Ed Malloy, tbh.

Clippers 9*


you have to throw out the intentional ones, tbh

[ElNono]

Griffin shot chart this season:

http://goo.gl/vjT6X5

[TDfan2007]

Spurs have gotten waxed on several calls tonight, but that doesn't excuse the piss-poor defense.

[Neurosis]

Just want to note that no matter how many times Tim defies it, I still just expect Father Time to come kick his ass at some point, from which he can't recover.

Compared to Paul Pierce dude looks like a rookie.

[SAGirl]

They were a lot better to close the half but they had a slow start. The bench helped the team get back in the game though.
That has mostly been the story all season.
We have started slow most games I believe.
I don't think Pop knows who needs to get it going early.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

LOL you know it
it's not the same when a team is Forever–1 instead of undefeated tbh.

[ElNono]

When I say that white guy I'm not talking about mixed guy Griffin tbh. I'm talking about that 6'1" pr*ck playing "shooting guard" tbh.

Reddick is good... but he's not that good like he's been tonight

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs have gotten waxed on several calls tonight, but that doesn't excuse the piss-poor defense.

truth bomb

[Kawhitstorm]

Their two big stars are being matched, for the most part. The difference is elsewhere, and some of that is the refs. Ed Malloy is going to do whatever he damn well pleases. I just hope he is looking at some of the first half bad calls at the half time.

You forgot West blowing two layups & playing terrible defense

[TDfan2007]

The good news: Danny had a great 1st half.

[ElNono]

lol that faggot Gutierrez having to interview Pop again tonight

[objective]

I know pop would rather lose than play a rookie like Boban, but forgetting him, I swear the spurs would be better off with Bonner in instead of West. I can't think of a single aspect of defense that Bonner would be worse at.

[keeferob25]

Same shit different day against this Clippers team. Griffin and Paul are hitting everything from outside and Reddick is getting all he can eat against Kawhi/Danny...I guess this is just a matchup thing.

Its also a confidence thing too. The CLippers players KNOW they can play well against us...you can tell in how they play and get up for us. While we look scared, indecisive and old against them overall. Its annoying.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Reddick is good... but he's not that good like he's been tonight

He's in the NBA because he's very good at one thing, but he's very one-dimensional. You take away the shot and he either has to pass or drive, likely resulting in a turnover or sorry attempt.

[EVAY]

I expect that CP3 will be taking more shots in the second half. Would be nice to have someone make him miss more. WE haven't been awful, but we haven't been great either.

[Kawhitstorm]

Reddick is good... but he's not that good like he's been tonight

Have you watched any Clippers games this week?

[Budkin]

We better not lose to these fuckers. Gonna ruin my weekend.

[DPG21920]

Reddick is good... but he's not that good like he's been tonight

Reddick is damn good. He's what people hoped Jimmer would be.

[EVAY]

The good news: Danny had a great 1st half.

Absolutely true...hope his slump is ending.

[ElNono]

Have you watched any Clippers games this week?

Have you watched any Clippers games 2 weeks ago? He's good, but streaky

[daslicer]

Another bs call.

[SAGirl]

We have actually been lucky Danny has given us 10 points.
(not jinx... keep it up Danny)

[EVAY]

Malloy at it again. NOt good for the start of the half

[steeledl]

I'd rather play thunder in the second round than the clips

[TDfan2007]

How the fuck did Reddick get that open?

[timtonymanu]

Watch Redick smh

[RD2191]

Bring up reddick's shot chart :lmao

[UNT Eagles 2016]

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY DON'T LET THE FUCKING WHITE GUY SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!?!??!?!?!?!? :pctoss

[EVAY]

Dammit, Reddick's shot was on Danny

[ElNono]

Plus it's not that we're not contesting shots, which is all I've said...

[Texas_Ranger]

do the spurs know that jj redick is a great shooter?

[SAGirl]

Pop about to ccall up Simmons again... Danny blowing that assignment on Reddick

[r0drig0lac]

fucking refs

[daslicer]

Very laughable how bad these refs are. The refereeing is up there with Lakers Kings game 6.

[Kawhitstorm]

He's in the NBA because he's very good at one thing, but he's very one-dimensional. You take away the shot and he either has to pass or drive, likely resulting in a turnover or sorry attempt.

Remember Marco torching Danny this season b/c he moves so well without the ball, Redick is the best at it.

[random21]

Aldridge is ballin today...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Another defensive 3 second, WTF!

[steeledl]

Love LMAlpha

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Gametight]

what is up with these calls ????

[TDfan2007]

Ugh, Danny...

[loveforthegame]

Green FFS.

[timtonymanu]

Whistle whistle whistle

[ElNono]

Danny has had a good offensive 1st half, but on D he's been weak all night

[SAGirl]

OMG Danny!!!!!!!!!!
:depressed
:bang

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That's it, Danny Green. You're out, moron. :flipoff

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurs' defense

[steeledl]

Jj is using us per usual

[TDfan2007]

One more bad call to add to the list.

[Kawhitstorm]

Refs taking over the game:wakeup

[Budkin]

What happened to our defense? After last season we should be tearing these chumps up.

[EVAY]

Another defensive 3 second, WTF!

This one was on Timmy...don't know about the earlier one.

[RD2191]

Kawhi!

[SAGirl]

Danny has had a good offensive 1st half, but on D he's been weak all night
For most of the season he has been poor.
That is how Pop started going to Simmons. Simmons' drives, and highlight plays aside, that is not why Pop got him on games to beging with.
DAnny has been poor.

[steeledl]

Kawhi so skilled

[Fireball]

and another bullshit call

[RD2191]

This defense is an embarrassment

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi has been a monster tonight. Bailing us out possession after possession.

[timtonymanu]

Their two man game is unstoppable

[Horry Hipcheck]

It's a good thing Kawhi is transcending defense because the Clips have been all over him.

[RD2191]

Someone call ed Malloy a faggot

[timtonymanu]

Ed Malloy is such a POS. Why is this guy even a ref?

[steeledl]

My nigga Parker is fired up

[TDfan2007]

And this is why you play Danny even when he's struggling.

[SAGirl]

Danny block!!! at least...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

FU Paul, WTG Green!

[EVAY]

Make up foul for TP because he didn't get the call last time down the court.

[RD2191]

Their two man game is unstoppable
It really is

[random21]

This crowd is quiet as fuck.... Too stuffed from food.....

[TDfan2007]

Incredible that we're leading with this shitty D.

[steeledl]

Their two man game is unstoppable


Now imagine the Warriors with a 3rd guy

[SAGirl]

And this is why you play Danny even when he's struggling.
In reality we need him big time to play well.

[RD2191]

Lmao. Same play again.

[Kawhitstorm]

Where is Rondo when you need him:lol

[TDfan2007]

Or not...

[RD2191]

:lmaoRefs

[Budkin]

That KL shot looked like Jordan.

[r0drig0lac]

lol

[ElNono]

holy shit these refs

[EVAY]

Griffin is hurting us a lot more than Paul is, seemingly

[timtonymanu]

Gonna have to live with Blake's jump shot but unfortunately that isn't a good thing.

[RD2191]

Pop is gonna get tossed:lmao

[100%duncan]

Cmon, make the foul count. Injure them or something

[daslicer]

Wow refs again good job.

[Robz4000]

Ed Malloy is such a POS. Why is this guy even a ref?

Dude knows how to take care of large market teams.

[SAGirl]

Refs fucking us. what a bailout call!

[TDfan2007]

Worst defense this season.

[spursistan]

This D :lol

[BatManu20]

You'd think the arena was empty tonight. Could hear an ant fart

[Gametight]

ok this is getting ridiculous

[SAGirl]

kawhi bad on CP3
Kawhi not a typical good game for him.

[Ice009]

Clippers don't miss against the Spurs. Game 8 bullshit here. Refs suck ass too.

[steeledl]

Iol cp3 is fucking unconscious

[RD2191]

Exposed exposed exposed

[313]

Kawhi can't guard PGs

[Russo21]

fucken phantom foul on LMA grr

[steeledl]

Worst defense this season.

best offense we have played by far

[TDfan2007]

Offense has looked great at least...

[Horry Hipcheck]

Garbage calls + have the Clips missed yet this half?

[100%duncan]

These fucks havent missedo

[random21]

This defense can't stop anybody tonight....

[ace3g]

Kawow, one foot fadeaway

[100%duncan]

MVWhi

[steeledl]

Wow kawhi.....

[loveforthegame]

Leonard heads up play. Wow.

[ElNono]

these niggas won't miss... I know they're good, but odds say they have to miss a shot sometime

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs just need to keep playing.

[lefty20]

These clipper jumpers are gonna stop falling eventually right?

[TDfan2007]

:lol Kawhi is just unconscious.

[r0drig0lac]

what a joke, clippers can not miss a shot

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi looking like Nowitzki.

[SAGirl]

What a shot by Kawhi!!!!!

[weeks]

leonard :wow

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kaboom!

[Robz4000]

Stop allowing wide open jumpers ffs

[timtonymanu]

Swish swish swish

[RD2191]

:lmaothis team

[Amuseddaysleeper]

these niggas won't miss... I know they're good, but odds say they have to miss a shot sometime

Felt the same way in the playoffs last year.

Having said that, Clippers getting easy looks, Spurs D is lost

[Fireball]

both teams cannot be stopped ... but its only the refs keeping the Spurs from having a lead

[SAGirl]

They are getting open jumpers all night.

[EVAY]

As expected, Paul is taking a lot more shots in this quarter than in the first half

[Horry Hipcheck]

Clips are 8-10 this quarter and aside from Griffin's miss I don't know when the other one was.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Don Nelson sighting.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi!

[loveforthegame]

Don Nelson looks good. :tu

[RD2191]

The clips have obviously become a matchup problem. Who the hell cares if they usually don't make the shots they're taking because they're sure as hell making them against us.

[100%duncan]

I cant believe how we can get absolutely murdered in att these refs

[Kawhitstorm]

Gonna have to live with Blake's jump shot but unfortunately that isn't a good thing.

The Spurs defense is based on limiting 3s & layups while conceding midranges shots. It just so happens Blake/Paul are the best pick-n-pop players. They could cheat off Moute to rotate to Blake.

[ElNono]

we'll win this game... but the Clips shooting is ridiculous

[UNT Eagles 2016]

75 FUCKING POINTS ON OUR OWN HOME COURT with HALF THE 3rd QUARTER LEFT :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[spursistan]

tbh..this is like a continuation of that last year series..we just can't stop them..praying for shots not to fall..

[SpurPadre]

Clippers have such a supreme confidence playing the Spurs. No fear whatsoever.

[timtonymanu]

these niggas won't miss... I know they're good, but odds say they have to miss a shot sometime

They certainly are shooting too well but they're getting too many open jumpers by Blake right now.

[SpursIndonesia]

Parker setting up teammates & shooters only for them clanking shots all over places.

[Spurs_619]

Parker freezing kawhi out this quarter trying to hero ball against CP3 per par.

[BatManu20]

Chris Paul doing us dirty

[TDfan2007]

Clippers are hot, but at the same time all of these shots are WIDE as fuck open. Spurs are playing low-energy D. Too used to playing against trash team and getting away with subpar effort, I guess...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:bang

[timtonymanu]

Clippers have such a supreme confidence playing the Spurs. No fear whatsoever.

Clippers just thrive in the area that the Spurs generally don't defend well.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:pctoss

[Fireball]

Clips are 8-10 this quarter and aside from Griffin's miss I don't know when the other one was.

Dannys block on CP3 is a missed shot I guess ...

[EVAY]

I swear I believe the Spurs can wing this game and beat the Clips whenever we put our minds to it...but this game is really making me nervous.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs not even bothering to contest Griffith's wide open free throw jumper :bang

[ElNono]

They certainly are shooting too well but they're getting too many open jumpers by Blake right now.

He shoots at a 40% clip from there... tonight he can't miss.... one of those nights I suppose

[BatManu20]

Don Nelson in the house sitting with RC Buford

[313]

tbh..this is like a continuation of that last year series..we just can't stop them..praying for shots not to fall..
Pop putting Kawhi on CP3 because he still hasn't learned his lesson

[vander]

Every Spurs shot is difficult, every Clippers shot is wide open and the shot they wanted

[TheGreatYacht]

Crowd letting these refs get away with Kings/Lakers-esque shit... How long does it take to finish a Whataburger meal tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

They are getting open jumpers all night.

The defense has to give up something, that's the way it work in the NBA. The Clippers are taking what the defense gives them & converting.

[steeledl]

Don Nelson should be our assistant haha

[Neurosis]

Our team defense is just horrible so far. If we fix that we'll stomp them.

[coachmac87]

The potential lob to Jordan really freezes our defense...

[Fireball]

Parker freezing kawhi out this quarter trying to hero ball against CP3 per par.

Hey Apo ... you are back I guess

[ElNono]

Now if we lose, the meltdown will probably be epic :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They really need to close Whataburger in the building once there's less than 5 minutes left before the start of the next half

[313]

He shoots at a 40% clip from there... tonight he can't miss.... one of those nights I suppose
The shots he's getting tonight are practice jumpers, any nba player would knock them down. No one's even running at him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The thing that sucks is if this is a close game in crunch time we know how the Spurs do in that department lately.


HATE the Clippers

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop putting Kawhi on CP3 because he still hasn't learned his lesson

The Clippers neutralize Kawhi by using screens. Paul isn't stupid to go 1-on-1

[SpurPadre]

Clips are 8-10 this quarter and aside from Griffin's miss I don't know when the other one was.

Blocked shot by DG. Jordan would probably hit a three if he tried.

[steeledl]

Yep is most definately raged play cthunder over clippers in second round..... We don't have answers for them

[Robz4000]

Clippers have such a supreme confidence playing the Spurs. No fear whatsoever.

Lot of teams feel that way tbh. Becoming an alarming trend.

[EVAY]

Clippers just thrive in the area that the Spurs generally don't defend well.

Well I think this is true in that the mid-range game is one that the Spurs coaching staff decided a long time ago to "give" teams, because it is a generally inefficient shot, unless they make them, as the Clips seem to always do against us

[Ice009]

Clippers just don't miss against the Spurs. I'd never seen a team hit so many flukey bullshit shots against the Spurs as they did in the second half of game 7 last year. At least 4-5 high degree of difficulty bailout shots they made in that 4th quarter. That shit is continuing on today.

[urunobili]

Dont see the spurs winning this one... The refs are making it 5 on 8...

[timtonymanu]

Smh another open shot. Just watching Paul shoot.

[SAGirl]

Manu lost on transition D that posession.

[loveforthegame]

Much needed Mills 3.
