Spurs 101 - Clips 91

Spurs got this.

Easy win

Eric Gordon and Baron can be a huge handful for the Spurs back court. Also, Kaman has been playing pretty well this year. They have the size and talent to cause problems on any given night.

Same rules apply for the Spurs. Move the ball on offense, space the floor and rebound.

spurs need less then 20 turnovers

I agree. Turnovers against anyone can cost you the game, but in particular with a team like the Clips that you should be able to control, if you turn the ball over, it makes things much more difficult than it needs to be.

Theoretically, this should be another good match up for Jefferson. He should have another solid outing given the match ups.

If they keep the turnovers down to a reasonable amount, this should be a game where the bench gets some time.

spurs over 100 clippers under 90
spurs TOs under 15

Not good to count the chickens b4 they hatch but I see the spurs taking this with not to much trouble. We will also get to see somebody that I'd like in a spur uniform in marcus camby. Let's go spurs.

Since Spurs are in our division I follow them, why are they doing so bad this year with Duncan playing good. We owned y'all earlier.

Don't be lame. The Thunder are not in the Southwest division. They are in the Northwest.

Lets just not play complacent. Thats the only way a good team looses against a team like the Clippers. Respect, even the weaker teams.

There are no easy wins these days, but Spurs need to get these games against the bottom-feeders. Keep things in the W column to stay in the chase, and let the chemistry experiment continue.

Keys to the Game:
Don't turnover the ball.
Stay healthy.
Don't turnover the ball.

The Spurs need this road game. Clippers should be a W on paper but the Spurs haven't looked very good on the road yet.

Oh, and keep Thornton off the offensive glass, plz.

I need my Fantasy Points.

Watching the Spurs > Studying for finals

Manu's good to go as far as I know.

I can't wait for Camby to brick his first outside jumper :hungry:

clippers are still bad but they're playing better. Not an automatic for the Spurs especially if the latter comes out flat and lethargic!

oof topic for a sec...speaking of camby...there were a mention in the clippers FYI article that several teams have contacted the clippers regarding a trade for camby.......you think Spurs were one of those teams?

Yes turnover :(

Parker TO

TP starting with a turnover. FML.

Here we go, 1st TO

We start the game with a turnover.

Tony turns it over to start the game?..really?..never would have guessed it..

Ducks: Pop told TP to do that

Bogans 333333333333333

Bogans for 3.

TD better not let Kaman play him even.

Nice step back by RJ

Good J RJ

Good pass from TP there, Dice needs to catch that one.

Thats the second turnover. Come on Dice, gotta catch that one.

2 TOs

There we go TP

Kaman has had an excellent year so far.

I can't believe Telfair plays in the NBA..

Box out?

Td j

Parker heating up :tu

Rj 3333333333333333333333333

Tony with 3 assists on 4 baskets. They gave him that second TO aswell :lol

McDyess has been surprised by 2 passes now..

Bogans ability to dribble is underrated.

Is Baron Davis not playing a good thing?

TD bad TO but great block

spurs looking good right now

3 to's

Questionable. TP usually eats Baron alive.

Damn that would have been a nice steal from RJ

Nobody boxing out twice now after Duncan goes to contest the shot..

Timmy D and 1

TP has started to look a lot fresher these past two games. Hopefully it keeps up and is a sign of things to come.

Spurs need to run a play for Dice. Get him a shot.

Tim looks very good again.

TD and one!!!

Nice move by Tim.

lmao duncan's old school move

Tim and1 looking good. 7 points.

Kaman what a defensive joke there:lol

Money line up for the Spurs.

Damn SICK pass by Manu

Dice has got to start catching those passes... and how about some boxing out?

Magic Ginobili.

Dunk by Tim. 9 points.

Manu is in with a great assist to Timmy!

TD dunk!

Duncan/Dice/RJ/Manu/TP .........This is what I paid for.

Other than the two McDyess stone handed catches, the offense has been pretty darn impressive.

Thank your God and tell your children about how grateful you were to watch Tim Duncan play basketball. this guy is AWESOME!

McDyess needs to wake up..I agree that he should get a play in his favor, get his J going..

Good start

TD has been great this season

Good start. Stop turning the ball over.

Spurs look very calm and relaxed offensively. They are just running things so sharp and effortlessly.

4 assists already for parker~
2 tos though

timmy is gonna gain lots of weights....he keeps getting fed

I'm unable to watch.

Which old school move did Timmy pull out of the bag?

Yup, one of those elbow jumpers of a curl for Dice would be nice. Cant fault Tony though, he's gotten everyone else involved so far. 4 assists.

Second one was not his fault. He hit Dice right in the hands with a great pass.

Clippers announcers giving major props to TD and the Spurs

Parker, don't stand too close to Davis, you might catch the flu.

Ginobili had a layup . . .

"...53 or more wins a season for 12 years in a row... to be that good as an organisation is damn near impossible..."

Now if only some fans would understand this.

I like these announcers. They are a nice mix of direct and sarcastic.

I understand this. The Clippers have been an epic fail.

Sideways rotations on that Parker J.

Tony showing some nice rhythm there. I love Manu's ability to see the floor with those passes too. I missed them.
