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

[BatManu20]

The Spurs are back a it tonight as they take on the 16-10 Clippers who are winners of 9 of their last 11. First matchup with LAC since we lost Game 7 in the the playoffs. I bet our guys will be motivated. Game will be nationally televised on ESPN. Everyone's expected to play tonight. Let's get it.

“I wasn’t sure this team would be the same,” Green said, looking back. “I thought it was all going to be blown up and changed.”
Green mustve read ST in the offseason

[r0drig0lac]

good challenge

[daledondale]

I want to see some Boban vs Jordan minutes and see how it works.

Time for a little payback. Even if it is a regular season game.

[Dverde]

Clipps running into the Spurs at the wrong time. Spurs' play is on buzzsaw mode. I don't think they have a chance tonight. It's going to take Austin Rivers career high to beat them tonight.

Just rewatched Chris Paul's game winner from Game 7. Man, what a heck of a shot - and what a tough way to lose a series.


Should be an interesting game. Both teams are well-rested (or should be, at least) and playing well coming into this one.

[RD2191]

Spurs are gonna get blown out. The meltdown will be glorious. National TV against a top/athletic team? Get ready to cry.

[timtonymanu]

Good test for the Spurs defense. Destroy them, Spurs.

Unleash the Boban

[BatManu20]

Uh oh. Anyone know if this is Timmy's dog? His head might be elsewhere right now.

Clippers are not really an athletic team outside of Jordan and Griffin they have no super athletes.

[Lostwingman]

Fuck, probably going to have to listen to this one on the radio as I'm going to be driving to Houston.

[Fireball]

Lets beat the crap out of them ... play defense ... share the ball ... play Boban!

[BatManu20]

Boban vs DeAndre should be entertaining

[TheGreatYacht]

Letting go of Matty Barnes will be the fall of these faggots. Spurs by 30, MVParker will outplay Paul per par

Also, Spurs tend to perform very well in ESPN games that are also televised locally. It's the TNT/ABC exclusives we tend to lose.

[BatManu20]

Have a feeling JJ Redick is going to have a good game against us. Hope I'm wrong.

[Fireball]

Have a feeling JJ Redick is going to have a good game against us. Hope I'm wrong.

just prevent him from makng the first shot ... 90% of Clips games I watch he takes the first shot of the game for them and makes it ..

[itzsoweezee]

If Austin freaking Rivers burns us again, I'm going to break my screen.

I still can't believe the Austin Rivers game ever took place.

Damn, I hope Timmy finds his dog. :(


Tim Duncan DNP - looking for his dog :(This.

I hope his dog wanders onto the court before the start of the game and gives Tim a thumbs up... lol

[steeledl]

I think we all need us to win as fans to feel like we beat a quality opponent. If we lose.... meltdown city here.

[weeks]

at last, a chance for some revenge. how sweet it's gonna be...

danny green was asked if they were looking forward to the friday game, and he said "no...not really, just another game..we'll see what happens" but the way he said it, it was very clear and obvious that yes indeed, they were looking forward to this game quite a bit...

meh, just remind yourself we were 1-11 vs playoff teams at one point during the 2014 season...

But Warriors.

But Warriors.
we matchup well with them
their advantages in coaching get negated, our perimeter d...talented bigs to punish small-ball lineups...elite team D and rim protection (i read somewhere spurs opponents shoot lower than any other team at 0-3 feet)
we'll see what happens :lobt2:

Hopefully this HD streaming can hold up, it's ESPN broadcast, love Breen & Van Gundy.

[Mel_13]

So Tim and Tony always go the bench a few minutes before the end of warm-up. Before they sit down they play a one shot game of Horse. Tonight, Timmy went first and tried a left-handed three pointer. Missed it long. Tony drained his.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Who gets more run tonight? Anderson or Simmons?

Hope it's not Andershit. We're playing with a full deck this time so Andershit should ride the pine while Simmons/Butler are the 4th wing by committee

[spursistan]

it would be the sweetest of any blowouts we have this season..but i'm expecting close one since the clippers have picked it up bit lately..just get the W :flag:

The rims really do have a lid on them when Danny shoots at home. Crazy

[spursistan]

Green can't buy a 3 literally..

[steeledl]

We look like scrubs tbh.......

[RD2191]

Kawhi playing like trash on both sides of the ball.

[timtonymanu]

I guess it helped our defense that we faced crappy teams like the Lakers and injured Wiz.

[daslicer]

Moute another scrub having a fluke game against the Spurs.

And decide to single coverage Griffiths with Kawhi, Tony, and Green.
