Did the Clippers look tired out there at the end?

Oh boy. Lucky us. /sarc

Duncan played 44 minutes tonight... hopefully our guys can knock down their open shots at home

But he makes such awesome commercials. /sarc

:lol

Pretty much everyone did, imo, minus Patty and Marco. Even Bobo's sprintinghttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items...rrow-10x10.png was a little sluggish. The Clippers literally don't use their bench hardly ever, so naturally their guys are going to be fatigued in close games down the stretch. Spurs need to expose that, and I think that it will start to show as the series wears on (hopefully).

That's unfair. Griffin played as well as possible outside of those two late turnovers. His main issue is that shaky outside shot. Makes it tough to go to him in the clutch. Other than that, he's a nightmare.

Whats funny is the Spurs seem to choke leads away and games like crazy, but they are still winners lol. Clippers seem to just choke it seems alot of times without the titles to back that up there. If they out choke the Spurs in this one I will be happy.

I actually think because he has pretty great passing skills for a big guy, he is a little indecisive at times because of it and is often looking to set up players. Against the Spurs in particular, he would be better off being more of a bully and trying to dunk everything.

---

Yeah, I don't think he's been paying attention.

Blake has evolved a lot and he's a great player nowadays, tbh.... almost unguardable

I don't want to start another thread so Imma hijack OP's tbh.....

HOLY FUCK, Reggie Miller is awful. Just absolutely the worst thing about the NBA right now. I'd rather have his brother Cheryl call these games, holy shit.

Can't hear you over Reggie blowing the entire Staples Center crowd....

Meh, Reggie is a Clippers fan, can't really blame him, tbh..this was known prior to the series..

Obviously he's one of the shittiest announcers in sports history, but it's not like he's a Spurs hater..

They looked a little tired yes, and out of ideas too.
DeAndre is a stud but he cant make 5000 jumps a night.

They just kneeled down to GODuncan.

---

Yes, not to pick on Parker but they looked as bad as his shots were earlier in the game. That's the difference between a shitty bench and an elite bench.

They absolutely looked gassed, which leads to mental mistakes, which is exacerbated when you're already not a very smart team. It will be the downfall of the Clippers in this series.

No doubt! :toast

I'm more concerned about TD being gassed after tonight. It might mean Baynes will get some minutes on Friday.

Blake can't play the whole fucking game dude was done

That's my point. He's a monster for 44 minutes. Then...

He does but he's only human. Hope we blow them out on Friday so he can take the whole fourth quarter off.

I also don't want to distract, but I feel that Reggie has actually improved on his skills. His first few years I could hardly hear him bashing on the Spurs, but this year his comments have been pretty accurate. He talks a bit louder, calls out the plays that he sees, and clearly respects Tim and the Spurs. This has to be the first year I said that, but he seems to really be putting in the effort to improve, and it shows in the audio.
