Game 5 Thread: Spurs at Clippers 10:30 EST (9:30 CST) Tuesday, April 28 on TNT

This is it folks, Spurs can leave LA with a nice tan and one victory away from facing the Rockets...or they can head home on the verge of playoff elimination.


Shore up the defense, hit the open shots and let's bring this thing home

Welp, might as well seal a series loss with another injury I guess. Real talk, should've let BillMc do it...

He'll come up with another one if the Spurs are getting reamed I'm sure.

:lol "I don't make excuses"

either spurs win a close game or clipps win by 15.

We got the one win we needed on their court and then blew it. We're not getting another.

Home court matter. Look at the Spurs home and away record this season.

Parker tries to take over the game early and gets "injured" when he shoots 2-10 in the first half. Spurs take control and rally in the 2nd half and win by 4. Kawhi has another stellar game.

Tiago injured his calf again putting on his shoes with the wrong shoe horn. Out for rest of playoffs reconsiders his life and goes the Bruce Jenner route becoming the woman he should have always been. The doctors are surprised to find that the transition is so simple.

In the playoffs it doesnt really matter, except in game 7's. Elite teams can win on the road and at home. Home crowd only helps with ref calls and momentum down the stretch, if we play spurs ball, it doesnt really matter what the clippers do, our best is better than their best and its not even very close

Spurs by 20+... we start hitting the open looks at a good clip in this game...

Here's to the spurs making their shots and playing tenacious D!

How do you figure? They've been the better team the most of the series.

Vegas still has the Spurs as series favorites fyi..

Lol people said it was was a must win fame for the clippers. Well it's a must win game again. Clippers under more pressure. Spurs will grab this game and come home up 3-2.

Come on Rob, they may have played better than us for more of the games of the series, but you know as well as anyone else that our best is way better than anybody else in the league. It is just a matter of consistency, we havent shown that all year.

I'll eat mad crow if I'm wrong, but the way this season has gone I'm not expecting them to pull it out.

For some reason, I see us pulling this series out. Even if it means we have to win a home game 7. I just cant see CPchoke and a 7 man rotation outlasting us, maybe Im crazy though :lol

I see SA in seven. The Seven-Eight man rotation will make those jump shots tough for the older clipper guard (Crawford), the high minute guard (Paul), and the 15 minutes of fame guard (Tom Jr.). The perimeter wing defenders will also get tired chasing Kawhi (Barnes).

I don't see Kawhi getting tired and he will continue to bring it. Paul and Griffin will wear down. The Clipper will not shoot as well the remainder of this series. The Spurs will put together enough offense to get it done.

The Clippers have too much loser DNA IMHO. If they do win it will be because one of our guys gets taken out by a Clipper cheap shot from Barnes, Fat boy, or Christina Paul.
