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

[ElNono]

MVPaddy! what a block :wow

[timtonymanu]

MVPATTY

[TDfan2007]

Great recovery by Patty!

[steeledl]

Patity with the hustle

[loveforthegame]

Great block by Patty.

[Spurs_619]

Mills should be starting over Parker the fat french heroballing faggot

[Horry Hipcheck]

Mills serving up some denial.

[SAGirl]

Patty Thrills!!!

[steeledl]

Cp3 and Blake are special

[Budkin]

Clippers have flat out owned us as of late. I don't get it.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Shades of Game 6 2015 tbh

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Clipeers playing out of their fucking minds with ref help and only up by 4, we got this

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs getting pumped right now

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Aldridge TERRIBLE shot selection :bang

[TDfan2007]

We are Chris Paul's bitches...sadly.

[BatManu20]

These fuckers really aren't missing

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking Griffin can't be breathed on.

[HI-FI]

Yeah NBA wants their anti-racism team to get the W.

[lefty20]

can't even breathe on these mofos

[ElNono]

don't normally complain about the refs, but where's the home cooking?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCK YOU Bill Land you soft faggot fuck :bang

[FkLA]

These faggots get a lot of BS calls tbh.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

These fuckers really aren't missing

They will regress to the mean

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Clippers have flat out owned us as of late. I don't get it.

Spurs defending extremely poorly. Clippers are gonna hit open shots, they have shooters. Spurs are letting the Clippers do whatever they want out there.

[timtonymanu]

Still have a quarter to pick it up but a game like this generally ends up in a loss. We can't keep playing catch up all game.

[EVAY]

Road team getting home team calls. Classic Ed Malloy game.

[Robz4000]

Refball + Clippers confidence in their shots + Spurs defense getting exposed = deflating loss

[ElNono]

Black Ops III, what a shitty game

[Cry Havoc]

How bad have the refs been?

[Russo21]

fucken diaw did nothing wrong there, shit reffing

[Nathan89]

They will regress to the mean:rolleyes

[Kawhitstorm]

Why isn't LMA posting up instead of chuckin' jumpers? :downspin:The best defense against Blake is to go at him & possibly get him in foul trouble.

[steeledl]

How can the clippers be no match for the warriors. Fuck

[Cry Havoc]

Black Ops III, what a shitty game

Not a lot of great FPS multiplayer games out there. CSGO is still the king, FWIW

[UNT Eagles 2016]

What the FUCK is going on :pctoss


They have 80 points on OUR FUCKING COURT and it's not even the end of the THIRD QUARTER!!!!?!!!?!! :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[TheGreatYacht]

Doc playing that "whoever Kawhi is guarding" offense smh

[Neurosis]

9 3pointers for the Clippers - we gotta run them off the line. Both Redick and Paul but especially Redick - force the scrub to make a play off the dribble ffs.

[Fireball]

lol at thinking the Spurs have a chance against the Warriors when they cannot stop a Paul and Reddick backcourt

[SAGirl]

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.
They are getting good shots, open jumpers and they have shooters.
CP3 gives us fits obviously, this hasn't been a terrific defensive display by us TBH.
That said, all the bullshit fouls help them get in a groove as well.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

PLEASE NO TURD TOWERS POP

NO D-WORST PLEASE I CAN'T TAKE IT

[hater]

Damn. Are. Clippers best team ever or what? Mofos can't fucking miss

[SpurPadre]

Is this live or are they replaying Game 7 with a CGI LMA?

[Kyl3]

Feel like I don't even need to watch the rest of the game. Have seen this too many times.
Spurs get within striking distance and the other team goes on a run, and repeat.

[EVAY]

How bad have the refs been?

Fairly blatant, tbh. The kind that the Spurs front office will send to the NBA for review, but it will be too late because the L will already be counted.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Doc playing that "whoever Kawhi is guarding" offense smh

yep. Leonard is pretty useless against contenders

[playbonner15]

Best defense against scrubs :lol

[hater]

I guess Pop cannot figure out CP3 IMO

[Horry Hipcheck]

How can the clippers be no match for the warriors. Fuck

The Warriors shoot like the Clips are tonight, tbh

[urunobili]

Manu should be banned from playing the Clips solely on the no respect he gets from the refs...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why is Kawhi so scared of attacking the rim?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

fuck you Rachel

[TheGreatYacht]

Doc is just toying with Poop at this point. He knows Poop will switch a guard on Griffin EVERY time, EVERY fucking time.

[HI-FI]

Good, make these fuckers exhausted.

[r0drig0lac]

Blake with 8-15 but to me it seems 15-15

[ElNono]

ugh Hack a Jordan... smh Pop

[weeks]

wtf is this bullshit pop!!!!!!

[313]

Doc playing that "whoever Kawhi is guarding" offense smh
:bang

[Kawhitstorm]

Clippers have flat out owned us as of late. I don't get it.

Paul/Blake don't force shots against the Spurs unlike other teams.

[BatManu20]

Hack a Jordan..

[Horry Hipcheck]

Even Jordan starting to hit.

[playbonner15]

another hack-a-jordan to let the clips rest

[timtonymanu]

How bad have the refs been?

Pretty terrible. You would be in here bitching right now. :lol

[weeks]

pop you smug asshole, you want this loss don't you? you want it, you must

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop waving the white flag, retired old man! Paul is gassed but let stop the game to let him rest:bang

[weeks]

vid of chris paul acting totally exhausted
cut to hack a jordan

[SAGirl]

Not hopeful when Pop goes hack-a-jordan.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Jeff Van Gundy melting down on national TV over hack-a-Jordan

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Crater face playing his little games

[NASpurs]

Pop waiving the white flag

[100%duncan]

:lol we lost

[TDfan2007]

I hate that we have to foul Jordan because our defense is so awful...

[hater]

Hate hack a monkey tbh

Fucking sucks

[ElNono]

we're a rhythm team too, Pop... fuck off

[timtonymanu]

Ugh hack a Jordan. Would be good if we could make buckets on our end.

[playbonner15]

Jeff Van Gundy melting down on national TV over hack-a-Jordan

[steeledl]

Sucks that we have to resort to this but fuck

[RD2191]

Lol. Hack a Jordan. May as well put out a message telling the entire nba to fuck us in the ass.

[NASpurs]

Pop's one stubborn motherfucker, this shit never works.

[random21]

This team still needs a lot of work... Thankfully, we are still in December... If playoffs started today, this team would be a second round exit...

[SpurPadre]

6 point deficit is almost like a 15 point deficit against these fucks.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Pop waving the white flag, retired old man! Paul is gassed but let stop the game to let him rest:bang

[Spurtacular]

Van Gundy needs to get off his high horse. If a player can't make a free throw, that's his fucking problem.

[313]

Why is Kawhi so scared of attacking the rim?
He's not scared, he just doesn't have the handle and he doesn't have the athleticism to make up for it like some guys. He has an elite mid range/post game that sort of makes up for it.

[Raven]

man, i love jvg but his opiions on the hacking tactic is should be censored.

[Kawhitstorm]

I hate that we have to foul Jordan because our defense is so awful...

You don't beat the Clippers w/ your defense, you beat them by exposing their mediocre defense.

[playbonner15]

Paul is out Pop let the team play

[loveforthegame]

LMA making that. :lol

[TDfan2007]

This is embarrassing...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

WHERES THE FOUL

[EVAY]

TP is out and we have no offensive cohesion again

[weeks]

OF COURSE THEY DON'T WANT TO FUCKING DO IT POP YOU ARROGANT BITCH

i'm gonna meltdown tbh

[random21]

Its because he wants to go to bed early or catch an earlier flight home...

[timtonymanu]

Pop's one stubborn motherfucker, this shit never works.

Yep fucking killed us in Game 4.

[EVAY]

JVG is getting on my last nerve

[playbonner15]

TEAM WANTS TO PLAY NOT WATCH FREETHROWS

[r0drig0lac]

these refs deserve hack and the game lasts five hours, it is shameful

[playbonner15]

JVG ON A ROLL :lol

[steeledl]

LMAlpha

[Uriel]

It's weird how bad Jordan is at FT shooting when his form looks so good.

[Robz4000]

Hack a Jordan backfiring, per par.

[weeks]

lma bailing out this lame ass gimimick

[Horry Hipcheck]

It's a good thing LMA is borderline automatic on those pop up shots.

[RD2191]

This is embarrassing...

[TDfan2007]

We're giving them free points...

[Johnny RIngo]

Hack-a-Jordan smh. Fuck you Pop. Don't want to win or lose playing like this. Absolute trash.

[Kawhitstorm]

TP is out and we have no offensive cohesion again

Shut the fuck up, LMA is doing just fine

[weeks]

even if it worked do we really want to win this way? this is ugly, ugly shit

[playbonner15]

PLS STOP POP SO JVG WILL STOP #JVGFARCE

[loveforthegame]

JVGs meltdown is epic. :lol

[Uriel]

Shut up, Jeff.

[ace3g]

Simmons 3

[TDfan2007]

Simmons sighting!

[loveforthegame]

Simmons!

[Horry Hipcheck]

SIMMONS

[TheDoctor]

Not only our players but Pop's scared too

[ElNono]

simms!

[SAGirl]

These announcers talk a lot of shit... unbearable, when already I am pissed off at this game.
:bang

[steeledl]

Gonna have to play Parker 40 minutes per game if we play them in playoffs. Tbh

[313]

Simmons :worthy:

[SAGirl]

Simmons!!!!!

[RD2191]

JVGs meltdown is epic. :lol
:lol

[LkrFan]

Hack a Jordan is weak. :td

[weeks]

this is the type of shit that makes people hate this team, and who can blame them

[Fireball]

the hacking works ... but CP3 was exhausted and now gets plenty of rest to destroy us in the 4th q

[HI-FI]

I like JVG but his bitching was unbearable.

[james evans]

why is van gundy bitching? learn to shoot freethrows and it wouldnt be a problem

[Kawhitstorm]

West in the doghouse, not even worthy of committing intentional fouls:lol

[Ice009]

Simmons, beautiful shot.

[playbonner15]

CP3's gonna come back rested and punish this team :bang

[Robz4000]

Paul getting plenty of rest on the bench from this...

[EVAY]

Shut the fuck up, LMA is doing just fine

Did you not see that messed up offensive possession where LMA did finally get to make the shot but it was too late because the shot clock had expired? THAT is poor offensive cohesion - and that was what I was talking about.

And YOU shut the fuck up.

[Johnny RIngo]

Can't call yourself the best defense in the league if you have to resort to hack-a-Shaq bullshit to make stops

[100%duncan]

Smh

[RD2191]

LMA is a pussy big man.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If he cant make foul shots thats his own damn problem, JVG can shove it

[weeks]

pop pls

[SAGirl]

Pop's hacking annoys me.

[Uriel]

I love :pop: :lmao

[lefty20]

This start is totally worth it if it takes Blake, J.J and CP3 out of their shooting rhythm in the 4th Q.

[playbonner15]

Fuck just muted the game

[r0drig0lac]

Pop dont give a fuck, OG

[UZER]

*Sigh* here we go again. And Paul gets massive rest again. He gon be fresh for the 4th.

[RD2191]

Can't call yourself the best defense in the league if you have to resort to hack-a-Shaq bullshit to make stops
Spurs are a joke. Beating up on shit teams and getting exposed against top teams.

[TDfan2007]

2 more free points...

[100%duncan]

Just fuck you pop

[BatManu20]

This quarter won't end

[HI-FI]

:pop: keep doing it.

[Kawhitstorm]

Yep fucking killed us in Game 4.

That was different b/c he did it when the Spurs were up 9 & in the fuckin' first half

[ElNono]

Hack-a-Manu

[313]

West in the doghouse, not even worthy of committing intentional fouls:lol
:lol is Boban in a suit?

[timtonymanu]

I like JVG but his bitching was unbearable.

Well this isn't fun as a Spurs fan too. Plus it's giving their guys extended rest smh.

[TDfan2007]

Spurs are a joke. Beating up on shit teams and getting exposed against top teams.

...said everyone in 2013-2014...

[NASpurs]

You do this shit when their starters are in the game, not their shitty ass bench. Poop's losing it.

[hater]

:lmao Doc waves the white flag :lol

[daslicer]

LMA is a pussy big man.

LMA is the reason why the spurs are not getting blown out. He has 20 points on 62 percent shooting and 8 rebounds. I don't know what else you want out of him.

[BatManu20]

Alright he made both. Don't foul him again Pop

[Horry Hipcheck]

why is van gundy bitching? learn to shoot freethrows and it wouldnt be a problem

He's long been opposed to it because it ruins the purity of the game. Fouling teams suffer no penalty for abusing a basic rule.

[SAGirl]

the hacking works ... but CP3 was exhausted and now gets plenty of rest to destroy us in the 4th q
I thought that messed us up in our series against them TBH.
We saw how they melted down against the Rockets.
Pop with the hacking lets them rest and get back into it.

[ElNono]

no more West now

[RD2191]

LMA is the reason why the spurs are not getting blown out. He has 20 points on 62 percent shooting and 8 rebounds. I don't know what else you want out of him.
To not be a pussy.

[313]

Mills is garbage defensively

[timtonymanu]

Well on to the next scrub opponent who we can hold under 80 to make our averages look better.

[TDfan2007]

This is easily the worst defense we've played all year and maybe the worst I've seen in years...

[baseline bum]

This hacking is retarded. That's all the Spurs need is to get CP3 a ton of rest on the bench after he looked fucking exhausted.

[HI-FI]

Well this isn't fun as a Spurs fan too. Plus it's giving their guys extended rest smh.
I agree but JVG sounded like his Kotex just went red.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs are a joke. Beating up on shit teams and getting exposed against top teams.

Worst thing is you can tell even the Spurs players don't want to do that hacking bullshit. Pop had to scream at them to hack Jordan after the first two times.

[100%duncan]

We fucking suck imho

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts.

[playbonner15]

This is easily the worst defense we've played all year and maybe the worst I've seen in years...

[SpurPadre]

This team is completely in our heads. Really hope we avoid them in the playoffs.

[Uriel]

FOUL SMITH AND GET THE LAST SHOT OF THE QUARTER

[Chinook]

Hacking bad FT shooters is the same as leaving poor shooters open. Trying to stop teams to taking advantages of player's weaknesses is a major part of coaching.

[weeks]

lma choking per par
then we start whining about a travel :lol

[RD2191]

Dat defense tho. Smh

[timtonymanu]

Have one more quarter to undue that damage but I'm not confident in these guys tonight.

[steeledl]

lol crazy. A few years ago simmons never would have thought he'd be playing GS cp3 and Blake and slapping hands with Duncan and aldridge...... Holy fuck.... Good on this nigga.

[r0drig0lac]

LMA is the reason why the spurs are not getting blown out. He has 20 points on 62 percent shooting and 8 rebounds. I don't know what else you want out of him.

agree, if Kawhi could play as DPOY against clippers

[hater]

:lmao all that bullshit foe nothing :lmao

Fucking sperms

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pizza face pop is fucking retarded

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Shitass third quarter... :pctoss


AND FUCK YOU BILL LAND :flipoff:flipoff

[TheGreatYacht]

Van Gundy didn't cry when the Warriors hacked Jordan. You won't find a bigger cuck than him

[KDKSpurs24]

Got us nowhere.. FUCK

[Killakobe81]

Clips hav3 talent obviously but not sure whyvtgey give the Spurs so much trouble ...

[daslicer]

To not be a pussy.

How he is a pussy? Just because he's not shutting down Blake you are getting angry?

[TheDoctor]

Wow LMa missing both FTs in crunch time, such a Spursy move.

[SAGirl]

He's long been opposed to it because it ruins the purity of the game. Fouling teams suffer no penalty for abusing a basic rule.
It makes for poor entertainment on top of hearing Van Gundy bitch.
It will probably be changed eventually bc it makes for a poor quality and non-entertaining game.

[BatManu20]

Clips on pace for 114 points

[steeledl]

LMA is the reason why the spurs are not getting blown out. He has 20 points on 62 percent shooting and 8 rebounds. I don't know what else you want out of him.

[Darius Bieber]

Loss tonight tbh. Spurs are not a good team. Just a mediocre team that can beat bad teams.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Aldridge choking against contenders as per par :bang

[BatManu20]

Wow LMa missing both FTs in crunch time, such a Spursy move.

I wouldn't consider the 3rd quarter crunch time..

[BanditHiro]

i wish Jordan got a career ending injury so we never have to see that Hacking shit from Pop

[Fireball]

I thought that messed us up in our series against them TBH.
We saw how they melted down against the Rockets.
Pop with the hacking lets them rest and get back into it.

this game it did not work against the Spurs offensive rhythm ... but in the last playoffs it did ... agree

[Neurosis]

Our offense is fine. 85 after 3 quarters. Problem is we've given up enough points for an entire game. Fucking hell.

[steeledl]

This team is completely in our heads. Really hope we avoid them in the playoffs.

[hater]

This hacking is retarded. That's all the Spurs need is to get CP3 a ton of rest on the bench after he looked fucking exhausted.

This. Tbqh

:lol popazot

[ElNono]

One more quarter to go, we're right there... gotta turn on the Kawhilights...

[Robz4000]

The fact Pop employs a strategy that doesn't work shows how far Doc is in his head. I swear no coach is more susceptible to mind games than Pop.

[313]

lol crazy. A few years ago simmons never would have thought he'd be playing GS cp3 and Blake and slapping hands with Duncan and aldridge...... Holy fuck.... Good on this nigga.
Wasn't this dude playing ball at a community college? What a lucky break lol props to him though, hope he keeps improving.

[weeks]

a cute little regular season record

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Loss tonight tbh. Spurs are not a good team. Just a mediocre team that can beat bad teams.

Going to waste the money of the Spurs fans that came tonight :pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

If any team should try the intentional foul shenanigan, it should be the Sixers when they play the Warriors. Hack Iggy/Bogut/Ezeli anytime they are in the game just to have a chance of pulling of the biggest upset in NBA regular season history. Okafor would have to drop 40 against Draymond though:lol

[DMC]

He's long been opposed to it because it ruins the purity of the game. Fouling teams suffer no penalty for abusing a basic rule.
JVG is against rewarding a foul but doesn't mind rewarding a shitty FT shooter.

[TDfan2007]

:lol Jordan goes to the line and hits 2, and LMA follows it up by bricking 2...Clippers have some voodoo shit on us.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Our offense is fine. 85 after 3 quarters. Problem is we've given up enough points for an entire game. Fucking hell.

truth bomb

[sasaint]

This team is completely in our heads. Really hope we avoid them in the playoffs.

Teams tend to get in your head when they own you.

[313]

One more quarter to go, we're right there... gotta turn on the Kawhilights...
Put him on Reddick and we might get some. He's getting completely taken out of the game guarding CP3 ala 2015 playoffs

[weeks]

The fact Pop employs a strategy that doesn't work shows how far Doc is in his head. I swear no coach is more susceptible to mind games than Pop.
the arrogant fuck is totally contrarian to the point of lunacy
for insisting everyone get over themselves, he's never getting over his genius as a coach

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:lol Jordan goes to the line and hits 2, and LMA follows it up by bricking 2...Clippers have some voodoo shit on us.

lma is a choker until proven otherwise tbh

[keeferob25]

Older spurs fans can remember when the spurs teams had an abundance of GRIT. But jesus christ we are so soft right now.

[hater]

We just can't play this team tbh. Avoid this team at all costs!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Spurs go full-retard when playing the Clippers and the Clippers go full hard-on. Who the fuck knows why.

[james evans]

He's long been opposed to it because it ruins the purity of the game. Fouling teams suffer no penalty for abusing a basic rule.
I'd like to see harsh penalties for flopping, but they dont' do anything about that either. I'd like to see charge taking in the paint eliminated from the game, but they allow that bullshit too.

[Mnky]

Their best offensive player is beating our best defensive player.. that's all.

Spurs 4 the win.

[DMC]

The way to beat the Clippers is to out run them. You let them rest, you'll lose. If you recall JSmoove and JET were running the ball right down their throats over and over after Harden and his brood and the "try to get fouled" schtick wore thin.

[TheDoctor]

I wouldn't consider the 3rd quarter crunch time..
Crucial moments then?

[Nathan89]

I'd be fine with hacking if it worked well but it seems to only be good in theory. Maybe a prolific offensive team gsw could take advantage.

[HI-FI]

Nice.

[urunobili]

I'm not sure it'll be healthy for the Spurs beating this team. The Clips may very well ring this year tbh

[100%duncan]

Dat passing

[keeferob25]

the arrogant fuck is totally contrarian to the point of lunacy
for insisting everyone get over themselves, he's never getting over his genius as a coach

Thank you for being the person bold enough to say what i've said for half a decade now!

[EVAY]

Well done

[Johnny RIngo]

Aldridge choking against contenders as per par :bang

He's a career choke artist in the postseason. Better get used to it.

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA was gassed in the 3rd quarter which is why he missed both FTs, now we get to witness D-Worst:lol

[loveforthegame]

Nice little run.

[TheDoctor]

Oh god, Turd Towers

[timtonymanu]

Alright det bench

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs gonna get blown out at Staples Center...

[ElNono]

det bench

[steeledl]

Good shit . Fuck

[loveforthegame]

Foot to throat. Now is the time.

[RD2191]

We just can't play this team tbh. Avoid this team at all costs!!!!!!!
:lmaofor once in your life you might be right.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D-Worst actually made one :lol

[Robz4000]

Good start to the quarter.

[313]

:worthy:

[TDfan2007]

:lol Clippers are such whining bitches. I want to win this game so badly. Looks like our bench wants to as well

[weeks]

:lol west is pumped

huge basket...

[hater]

DAVID FUCKING WEST WHERE ARE THE FAGGOT ASS SPURSFANS THAT TALK SHIT ABOUT HIM???/?

[james evans]

please don't take josh smith out of the game.. Please!!!

[EVAY]

I love it when Doc Rivers gets upset!! I just love it!!

[lefty20]

that definitely looked like a kick-ball, but its about fucking time we catch a break.

[Kawhitstorm]

Clippers experiencing a Josh Smith induced meltdown :lmao

[FkLA]

The second unit has done their job and gotten the starters the lead both halves.

[Fireball]

:flag:

[SpurPadre]

Here's an idea: scrap hack a Shit and just let Smith shoot jumpers.

[hater]

DAVID FUCKING WEST WHERE ARE THE FAGGOT ASS SPURSFANS THAT TALK SHIT ABOUT HIM???/?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Now STOPS!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! :ihit:ihit:ihit


FTC!

[RD2191]

In before cp3 and blake take a big shit on us.

[SAGirl]

Bench showing up.
:flag:

West with a chance to redeem himself, takes advantage.

[Robz4000]

No more fucking Hack-a-Jordan unless the Spurs have a 7+ point lead please.
