Lou Williams and Clippers making it a game.

[ace3g]

Shamet for 3!!!!

and KD is fouled out.

[KDKSpurs24]

Wow. Clippers play hard as fuck. I love it. We need to learn from this and come out swinging tomorrow and for the rest of the playoffs. This is great energy.

[tbdog]

Clippers with heart and more heart. Coming back by 31 to beat the 'blessed.'

[emanueldavidginobili]

God damn how about this Clippers team wow.

[Spurs Homer]

Lol raymond flopped to get a cheap call to foul out beverly

clips w/out beverly might have helped them win

They got down by 31, my guy:lol

Again :lmao




largest comeback in NBA history!!

[KDKSpurs24]

They got down by 31, my guy:lol
Everybody already knows the Clippers play harder than most teams to win games. I’m talking about the will to keep grinding and stick it out. Our team plays lazy sometimes (I feel they will be prone to come out a little flat since they took a game already because it’s in most of their nature. Very strong chance Denver will come out and punch us in the mouth early and it won’t be shocking to be down double digits. Gotta stick with it is what I’m saying.

Note: my first sentence seems misplaced but I was just referring to the learning from the Clippers part.

[cjw]

Lou was awesome tonight. At least Magic didn’t totally whiff on the pick he got for Lou (Josh Hart).

Man dem Clips doe. So much heart. True team in LA for years now.

[John B]

Great win by Clippers coming down 31 pts in the 3rd quarter. Also Cousins is down possibly torn ACL. I never anyone hurt, but... fucking yeah!

Let’s see the officials give the game back in game 3 to the favored son (of bitches)

Rockets can take them, especially without Cousins.

[SpurPadre]

Pop would've waived the white flag and pulled the starters, letting Eubanks play the rest of the way after being down 31, tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

clippers showing more heart then say when pop pulls the stupid white flag out

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Rockets can take them, especially without Cousins.

Nah - losing Cousins actually helps them in the match-up with Houston. Harden and Paul would have PnRed him to death. If they lose to Houston it’ll be because Green has regressed and Durant has already checked out.

Boogie out, it will probably be a cakewalk for Houston to the Finals. Warriors have literally nobody inside.
Can't believe it but MIL has a real chance to win it all. In that case Silver will have a stroke and then change again the rules

Nah, they are still winning it all. Actually Boogie being out may help them, their best 5s are Durant and Raymond anyway. Their main weakness is a weak bench. So if Paul can be healthy I would give Houston 25-30% chance but not more than that.

ok, but I am not sure I want that ... if the Rockets then lose to Milwaukee in the Finals then sign me up

Capela is an offensive monster this year, and they have nobody to stop him. Houston will play them smart, Harden can easily get Capela 10 lobs a game.
I think this is the only series where Cousins is necessary for GS. The death lineup cannot play 25 minutes.

They have a 2015 Warriors feel IMO..the problem is that the 2015 Warriors didn't have to play a team as good as them in the Finals, tough:lol


Give it time.If they are to fulfill every 2015 Warriors criteria besides changing the coach and having the best record in the league and the MVP,we should expect season enders for Curry and Thompson in the playoffs (Love and Kyrie style)! :rollin

Lol, people saying the warriors aren’t beating Houston because of the shell of boogie is hurt? Dude is not close to being what he used to be. Can’t be serious right? Looney and Bogut are more than capable in stepping in. I still would not put any money on beard showing up a whole playoff series against the dubs.

i think on the contrary Boogie can’t guard Harden-Capela PNRs at all. Green will try to stop Capela as he did last year.
I agree that Houston has solid chances but I’m still picking GS

This

From the "all stars" on the warriors roster, Cousins was the least worrisome. An injury of this magnitude to Curry/Durant...now we're talking. Even Thompson to a lesser extent.

But Cousins? He hardly even played during the season.

[vavvi]

Clippers are more athletic than us, we can't do this even if we want to.

Yes.
Sad but Clippers collected a nearly perfect supporting cast roster for someone like Nephew or KD.
really smart decisions with Shemet, Zubac, Harrell and others.

[TDomination]

Spurs need to be ready tonight. I hope they come out and play as if we are the ones down 0-1.

With the way the 0-1 teams played yesterday, I expect the Nuggets to do the same and come out playing much better. I have a feeling Nuggets are going to be shooting a lot better.

Pop needs to bring back “ I Want Some Nasty” he needs to not screw with any lead we may have by trying to get guys rest time. Hopefully we come out and play like we are down 0 - 1 someone needs to set the tone on defense early.

I mean they are just going to PnR Bogut to death, he's not exactly fleet of foot. I would imagine Harden/CP3 can take advantage of Looney too

[SpursBig3s]

^ Forgot about Draymond lol. They'll be fine probably

[Blackhaus]

GS would go small(no traditional center) when it mattered against Hou. Green at 5, Durant at the 4. Theyed just switch everything.

Props to Jerry West, 80 years old and still doing it. So most likely even Pop will retire as coach, he'll stay with the team.

Heh. The guy asks if they tell the young guys how good it is in GS, and Durant talks about how they maybe practice 10-15 minutes a day, and have optional shootarounds. "I know if I was a young guy coming into this league in a situation like this, it would be hard to focus in every day. So it's good that you got vets who can tell you, you know, exactly what goes on in this league."

So in other words, Kerr isn't doing shit as a coach other than having the most talent of any team. Durant was always a gym rat, and that wasn't a compliment.

It didn't escalate because Adams wasn't even a tiny bit threatened by a barking chihuahua. And Lillard knows it.

So basically Brown earlier in the season invited Bowen to talk to the team about playoff toughness and what made the Spurs successful and Embiid challenged him and they got into it with Bruce.

And who "gets into it" with someone giving a team a motivational speech? That's beyond immature to just infantile.

If even most of that is true, it's just a toxic place. My guess is that it probably is true. I don't expect professional athletes to be choirboys, but calling out Bruce Bowen or any speaker in one of those motivational meetings? Not even close to being okay.

Sean Marks got a $25K fine for "entering the referees locker room" after the last game. Today one of the Nets owners, Joe Tsai, got a $35K fine for tweeting the owners' support for what Marks did.

Good for them. The refs jobbed the Nets badly in that game, and the series ought to be 2-2. It may not be dignified, or the "Spurs way", but good for them for having the balls to make a statement. Now the Brooklyn fans should pay the fines for them in pennies.

Just mentioned that in another thread. Draymond was WAY over the line. We've seen players ejected recently for so much less than that, even on a single technical. It looked like Draymond was taunting the ref because he knew he couldn't be tossed. Usually a coach will pull a player in a situation like that, to let him calm down. Kerr didn't even look to the bench. It was like he knew the refs weren't going to do anything.

And I agree. That's how I wanted to see the Spurs play. If they lose, that's okay. But play with heart.

Crazy this Clippers team is taking GS to 6 games. They play hard and tough and they’re athletic. Polar opposites to the Spurs. Spurs really need to revamp this roster. White DJ Lonnie and Poeltl can stay everyone else needs to go.

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers have legit energy guys and lunatics like Beverley and Harrell to keep their team going if they stop playing hard..Spurs don't have that on the roster, obviously..

Watching the Clippers play is a reminder that the Spurs really could use at least one alpha dog on the team. The good news is that Murray has a chance to be that going forward.

Spurs should offer the MLE to Beverley and start him with Murray and White . Those three could guard anybody on the perimeter.

Bring DeMar off the bench . Any minutes needed besides DeMar's at the 3 to be filled by White or Murray.

Walker and Forbes backup guards . Mills 11th man (unless traded) . Get rid of Beli .

Hope Bertans and Rudy can be cheap imitations of Gallo and Harrell .

LMA and Jakob the bigs . #19 and #29 to the g league . Anything else , I'm happy.

Won't happen , since Bev would likely take less to stay with the Clips.

[monty4329]

...
Won't happen , since Bev would likely take less to stay with the Clips.

Why would he sign with the Spurs? Look at Clippers roster. They have 5 years of competitive core ahead. They have two super rookies, they have Harrell, they have a somewhat healthy Gallo that they can keep or trade for equivalent talent. They have a scoring machine (getting old, but still). And they have cap space.

Fucking awsome to be a Clips fan right now.

Beverley will sign on july 1st for a sandwich and a bag of chips if that's what it takes.

I agree. Just a pipe dream of mine. Hopefully Clips get 2 max players and can't even offer the sandwich and chips.

Anyway , Spurs already missed their chance at Beverley along with Harris in the preseason .

Really missed our chances on Harrell. Also the spurs couldve signed Joe Harris instead of.Belli. hindsight sucks

[r0drig0lac]

Watching the Clippers play is a reminder that the Spurs really could use at least one alpha dog on the team. The good news is that Murray has a chance to be that going forward.

not while this new version of Pop is here, he does not want that kind of guy on the roster.

Clips taking the San Francisco cocksuckers to 7
-book it

Imagine if the spurs had a closer such as Lou Williams instead of Demar. Showing no fear against the dubs.

Imagine if they had him instead of Patty Mills. They would save 5 Million of cap space per year

You kidding me. Wow that just cuts to the bone. This why I don't get into contract specifics. Haha

Monty, Patrick Beverley would easily be an upgrade over Demar.

[DavidTheGoliath]

We'll save more with patty + lou instead of ddr + lou tbh

That game wasn't a fluke, either. The Clippers took it from GSW.

It makes me queasy to think that the Clippers were able to sign Lou Williams for 3/$24M with only $1.5M guaranteed in the last year. And the Spurs were able to sign Patty Mills to a straight up 4/$50 deal. If I were Pop, I'd fire myself.

Draymond Green charge call

I wish they had included what came next. Dray deserved the charge call, even though Beverly sold it. But after that, Green just went ape shit crazy at the ref. It also looked like Green intentionally raked his leg on Beverly as he stepped toward the ref. And his fit just went on and on. I really expected him to get tossed, even in GS. It just made them losing that much sweeter.

Yeah, Draymond's pretty much doing his version of a step over move on Beverly while he's on the floor-- the same type of move Lebron made on Draymond in the finals that got him so upset & led to the nutshot and suspension.

The amount of disrespect Green gets away with is incredible. And to think, Tim Duncan got thrown out of a game for laughing on the bench.

Difference is the Clippers are better coached and have guys that care, have pride, etc....

Their team leader is a guy that actually defends and brings energy, not somebody that is organizing coffee dates before 25 point losses and then gets absolutely roasted as soon as he comes into the game :lol..

I also doubt that Doc is leading pregame meetings with a "Guys, it's just a game, basketball doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things..."

lol at the bolded part, so true smh

Coc Rivers, I honestly wouldn't mind if he took over after Pop. He coaches by feel not by pre-determined rotations. If something's not working he mixes shit up. If something is working, he runs it to death. I remember when they upset us in '15 he just kept going back to the double screen at the top for CP0 because the Spurs never figured it out. Doesn't take the high road if the refs fuck up, younger, hungrier, etc.

Oh man

That is ROUGH

Shit

But does Lou Williams pass on the championship tradition in the locker room? I don't think so.

Oh, yeah, the loss of culture would be devastating to... well... to the culture.

An awkward exchange unfolded at Warriors practice Friday. Head coach Steve Kerr began addressing reporters near the court in the team's downtown Oakland practice facility, but Kerr quickly asked a Warriors PR official if the music thumping in the facility could be turned down so he could hear reporters' questions better and so reporters could hear his answers better
.
The Warriors PR official replied that the music was loud because forward Draymond Green, who was shooting on a nearby court, wanted it that way. (The Warriors PR official moved toward the volume switch and Green shouted to keep the music at the same level.) In the end, the music stayed at the same volume.

A reporter then jokingly asked Kerr who was in charge. "Not me, obviously," he said. After the media session ended, Kerr told reporters, "Enjoy the music."

Just a sidenote to the season. The NBA issued it's Last Two Minute report on Game 1 between GSW and Houston. They say that last no-call on Draymond guarding Harden was correct. But there were three more blown calls in the last two minutes - all in favor of GSW.

I know calls come and go, and you can't blame a loss on them - ya, ya, ya. But GSW always seems to get more than their share. They are already have too much talent to fight the zebras too. I'm no fan of the Rockets or D'Antoni, and I hate James Harden. But the refs jobbed them out of a Game 1 steal. It's not enough to be the better team, you have to be better by that much more of a margin. As a fan, it's hard to slog through a long 82 game season, when you know you're going to have to face that eventually.

[Clipper Nation]

He coaches by feel not by pre-determined rotations.

Not true at all. Jamal, washed-up Pierce, Austin, Avery Bradley, etc. all got tons of guaranteed minutes from Doc no matter how awful they played.

[r0drig0lac]

rockets have a lot of hard guys on their roster

Interesting story about the Sixers pre playoffs,kinda involving the Spurs.

So basically Brown earlier in the season invited Bowen to talk to the team about playoff toughness and what made the Spurs successful and Embiid challenged him and they got into it with Bruce.
It's one thing to troll in twitter and another thing to disrespect a veteran champion in his face.Shameful.

What's this Bowen story? The video is gone. I was going to consider going for the 76ers the rest of these playoffs, but if this shit is true, then I may reconsider.
