i was surprised that there wasn't a game blog even one hour before the game.
I hate these late west coast games.
Clippers coach making his debut tonight, they'll probably be playing hard for him..hopefully the Spurs come out with some energy to counter it..
I always wondered how dunleavy lasted so long.
need this win. fa sho
rip to that poor baby during the pregame special. that was some sad shit.
Playing at home with a new coach?
I have a bad feeling about this game. The Clips are going to be playing their best.
:pctoss
if we lose tonight to the fucking clippers a trade needs to be made immediately following the game. i dont give a shit who its for.
Starters: Hill, Parker, McDyess, Duncan, Jefferson
lets go! menage!
Finally the Dumbleavy era has come to an end. The Clippers will only get better from here. If I were them, I'd make B Diddy the player-coach and have some fun with it! :lol
As for us, I expect nothing from this team any more... they have proven they don't have what it takes to contend, so I'm just going to enjoy the basketball for what it is and not get too upset when we revert to type and choke. :depressed
sean, we can't hear you...NOOOOO lol
If the Spurs lose, I am gonna have a hell of a time trolling this forum off.
So what should we say if Pop gets out coached tonight?
Clips announcers are usually pretty good.Quote:

One thing i got frustrated with was missing the open jumpers against the blazers. and im talking about the wide open jumpers. Gotta hit those. Hill starts off well.
Nice pass by Baron!
there you go hill, hit that open 3
The George Hill Show. :)
love that move from dice, almost shuffled his feet but was good
Sucks that NBA League Pass only has the Clippers feed tonight. :(
Oh well.
Dice!
timmy long on that jumper, we'll see how he plays tonight
I'm almost expecting it ... :lolQuote:

Does anyone recall the Rodeo Road Trip beards?
I don't think the team is doing it this year. Is that showing that the team lacks chemistry this season?
duncan 0-2 so far, :( early but still :(
georgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hill putting it on.
Clippers 4, George Hill 10
up 12-4 so, we'll probably be down only by 2 at the end of the qtr! hooray for optimism lol
yeahh hill!
I want the Spurs to dominate the Clippers.
Can someone PM me a link pleazzzzzzzzzzz?
I would much rather have McDyess spotting up from 13-18 feet out from Tony/Tim/Manu creating than Camby.
His shot make Marion's look decent. Gross.
Please I want a link too!! :depressedQuote:

Gooooooogle.
clippers are missing a lot, we need to blow this thing wide open RIGHT NOW
Son, I have searched since I don't know.Quote:

18-0 run for spurs...NICE
Oh my, Hill!!
Dude, Hill is feeling it. After struggling from the corner against the blazers, he's 3-3 from the 3pt line
McDyess' game is gaining steam...
Jefferson is laughably bad.
Jefferson loses the ball 2 times in a row trying to drive to the basket. I love that he's driving but gotta do better than that
18-0 Spurs run
Damn, RJ being aggressive early, but no luck at the rim. Just stay with it.
RJ is horrible tonight..if Chris Kaman and his poor D can block you on a dunk attempt, then you just don't have it tonight..
CMON, where the heck is the foul on that parker drive???? haha
after 2nd look, it actually looked good lol
'At least Dunleavy wasn't coaching, we could have been blown out by 40.' :lolQuote:

Thats what frustrates me though. The guys are red hot against crappy teams. but against contenders they miss when we need them to make shots.
George Hill has definitely come to play on this RRT.
Parker's new nickname should be UTI for all the dribbling he does.
Blair should be the first big sub, not Bonner.
Hopefully this can be the first game where we keep a nice lead.
Kaman averages 1.4 blocks and Duncan 1.8
Dont be surprised if we cool WAY down this same game.Quote:

Can't watch the game but the score looks good.
I was going to say how is Jefferson such a soft finisher. He always loses the ball. Manu is a way stronger finisher and he's not as big as RJ.Quote:

I'm firmly an RJ-hater at this point. The guy has been mostly awful, and I can't wait until he's traded away (next year :depressed ).
Again, anyone has an ILP account to share, even for a day. I won't whore your account.
DeAndre Jordan will break out next year when he takes over Camby's spot.
Hill is in the zone.
Go to the Hill!
Finally, shit is working.
Well RJ when we first got him I looked at his upper body and thought this guy looks very strong, but since he's been on the Spurs he's one of the softest finishers I've ever seen with that kind of upper body. He seems to lose the ball very easily.Quote:

Manu craddles the ball when he penetrates, R.J brings the ball down. Plus Manu is quicker from point A of attack to point B a the rim which makes it more difficult for the opponents to get their hands on the ball, since they have to react quicker when he drives.Quote:

0.7 more blocks per game per 36 and 0.6 less fouls per game per 36(since Kaman plays a lot of minutes and Duncan doesn't)..big difference..Quote:

Not bad of a score. If the Spurs keep this up, maybe the Clippers will finish with less than 50 points.
great first quarter by hill
RJ has finished better than Manu this year. I don't get the hate. He is struggling, but not to the degree everyone makes it out to be imo.
So do ya'll still think Hill doesn't have what it takes to be a future star?
Hill's career high is 23 points.
Manu 'The Momentum Killer'
Spurs on their way to being an undefeated 18-0 against the J.V teams of the league. yay
Matt Bonner is +4, my friend.Quote:

Hey those few fans that said George Hill will show us how good he is if he starts and gets a lot more minutes could be right. He's putting up pretty decent numbers since he's been starting again.
17 points in the first quarter for George Hill.
Imagine if Pop didn't bench him last season for no reason whatsoever how much further along he would be. lol just had to throw that in to give Pop a quick jab ;).
What a strange first quarter. The Spurs as a team did not really shoot that well, but Hill & Dice did and they caused a lot of turnovers and rebounded well.
The 28 points is fine but i love the 10 points, we are on pace to hold them to 40 haha
chieflion, stream stopped again?
You mean, his BENOPHOBIA? ;)Quote:

great save by Manu
It seems like Blair took the day off.
I agree. Hedo for VC was bad. To be honest, I think Hedo was the true MVP of that Magic team.Quote:

Matt Bonner is a slasher!
WTF Manu? The Spurs are shooting sub-50% on technical foul free throws over the last 20 games or so. It's like a curse.
