Did the Clippers look tired out there at the end?

If Splitter and Manu are healthy, fatigue should start to show in Games 3 and 4. The Clippers won't survive more games like tonight. Pop has weapons to throw at LA for an entire game.

This was a huge win. You can't have TD play heavy minutes and not get the win.

If they lost tonight that would have been devistating imo, waste of a great game from Tim.

Played the first 9:45 of the game

Came back and started the second quarter

played the next 23:14 (almost all of the second and third quarter) Sat for a part of the 4th and played the final 15 minutes of the game.


Hopefully he is fatigued for game 3.

Statistically he's around average for 16-23 feet. Its comes down to confidence late in games. He wasn't willing to take them, instead opting for post ups and drives. They didn't go all that well late in the game. Duncan hesitated on outside jumpers ,when he could actually hit them, late in games.

that face up game can be brutal. If a big isn't quick enough laterally he can blow by them and get to the middle of the floor. Can finish and or draw contact.

Hopefully, Timmy can coast a bit while Kawhi and Danny bring the rain.

Clippers looked very tired. Griffin seemed to play the whole damn game. It should wear on them quite a bit. I honestly haven't watch a whole lot of Blake Griffin but the guy is an absolute monster. When he dunks it's like he doesn't stop going upward.

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.

Glad I have FSSW so I don't have to listen to Reggie.

:lol at the bold part.

Clippers were exhausted after all the blowjobs Reggie Miller gave them.

It isn't necessarily true that the every other day schedule now favors the Spurs. If anything, we need those 2 days off now more than ever to rest Tony and Tiago's injuries.

Blake played with the bench the entire 1st half... I wonder if their lack of depth is going to be an issue as the games go on, especially now that the games are every two days?

Yes, they exhausted themselves with their game 1 antics. It wasn't so much that the Clips almost beat the Spurs this game as it was the Spurs almost giving the game away with all those miss layups that allowed the Clips to get back in the game.

So for those of you questioning Pop after game 1, you see why didn't care if the Spurs match the Clips intensity in game. Kept them fresh for game 2. Now the series has definitely swung in the Spurs favor as there are no more extended Days off and the Spurs depth should start to take advantage in this series.

If TP is not ready to go and they start bulldog CoJo on Paul that could be a tiring effort too tbh
