Finally a respectable opponent again ... Chicago was the last one and the outcome was disappointing. Hope that the Spurs continue their dominance over the Clips this season.

Outside shooting, for one. The Clips are highly dependent upon interior penetration from Paul or Crawford, or working inside out from Blake, who isn't the best post-up player. You saw it last year in the playoffs -- OKC sagged off the Clippers and their entire ball movement shut down.Quote:

The Clippers defense is also vulnerable to mismatches. Blake is not a rim protector, and Jordan can be exploited by good post play or by being too aggressive and picking up fouls.

TP9 about time you put yourself back into the map again...BEAT CP3 ! :flag:
I'll definitely be on the site and watching the game, my friend! :toast Yes, we're undefeated when I've made game threads, but don't worry Ace 3's got this one. The Spurs are in good hands!! Just got a good feeling about this tonight.Quote:

Warriors have a better pg, sg, sf, and center. Their pf is a better defender as well.Quote:

Pregame Quotes 1/31/15
Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich:
(On the balance of role players being in the right place vs. slowly developing over time…)
“I think it’s a combination of both. Most players in the NBA are role players if you think about it. They’re all playing so they figured out a place to go. It’s about whether if there’s a situation where they can find minutes. Some role players end up being really important like a Bruce Bowen or a DeMarre Carroll in Atlanta or somebody like that. The situation is important. I think that since the NBA is mostly made up of role players that’s what we’re a league of. ”

Watching the Clippers pregame broadcast. Sean Elliott is the guest.
Sean says that for the first time he thinks "the Spurs are too old" narrative is starting to have some merit. :wow
The Clips announcers, predictably, use the "flying under the radar" mantra . . . :rolleyes
Well, I guess it's just another January in Spursland.
Should be nice gauge on what tp can do because he usually steps up his intensity vs cp3.
I agree with Sean tbh. Kawhi makes the rest of our team look a bunch of geriatrics.Quote:
