By Joe Alexander
George Hill and DeJuan Blair led the Spurs in minutes played and had stats to match in a 93-90 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at the AT&T Center.
Blair had a double-double with 12 rebounds and 11 points in 24 minutes. Hill started at point guard and had 13 points, who assists and three rebounds in 29 minutes.
Richard Jefferson started and led the Spurs with 15 points in the first half in 16 minutes. Jefferson was 7 of 9 from the field including 1 of 1 on 3-pointers.
Marcus Williams had 11 points, all in the second half.
Rookie Blake Griffin started for the Clippers and led all scorers with 23 points.
* * * * *
Curtis Jerrells fires up a 3-pointer at the buzzer. It didn't look bad, but it went off the rim. The Clippers win 93-90.
The Spurs lead 68-66 at the end of the third quarter. Marcus Haislip, Ian Mahinmi, Roger Mason Jr. and Marcus Williams all sat out the first half but played in the third quarter.
Manu Ginobili and DeJuan Blair are both up to eight points.
The Spurs lead 57-53 with 6:13 left in the third quarter. Timeout.
Blake Griffin, by the way, looks pretty good. He has 17 points and four rebounds. He was 5 of 8 from the field in the first half.
At halftime, the Spurs lead 51-44. Richard Jefferson has 15 points.
Richard Jefferson is having a good quarter. He is up to 11 points and just got fouled. He will try to finish an and-one after a timeout. The Spurs lead 44-40.
With 5:33 left in the second quarter, the Spurs lead 35-32.
End of the first quarter: Clippers 27, Spurs 23.
Every Spurs starter has a basket. Tim Duncan was actually the last one. The Clippers lead 12-10.
Spurs starters: George Hill, Malik Hairston, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess.

clippers played their starters and quality players as if it was the western conference finals.:
no wonder they are in constant suckage, because they never try to develop any newer guys.
No Bonner?
No Bonner either on the NBA boxscore.
Is this a sign???
smallest blog for a preseason game so far
no parker either omg!!!!!

Okay this chronologically backwards formatting for this is annoying. How much extra work is it to lay the text out so it makes no ing sense to anyone that didn't watch the game? If you're going to write in present tense the whole way, then do the beginning at the top and add to it. Keeping track of the game in Windows Notepad would be more clear.
Dennis Rodman used to do that when he was a Spur. The difference is that Rodman missed on purpose so he could pad his rebounding stats.
Here's my favorite part of this game
Spurs starters: George Hill, Malik Hairston, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess.![]()
just read through the entire thread....
NBA Boxscore guys just too lazy to list Bonner and Parker as DNDs. why the are we the only ones to get this treatment? I'll bet Cleveland or LA don't get this from NBA.

Griffin leads Clippers over Spurs
Blake Griffin, the overall No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, had 23 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 93-90 preseason victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
In the closing seconds, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan(notes) stuffed Curtis Jerrells’ layup attempt that would have given the Spurs the lead, then hit two free throws with 5.1 seconds left. Jerrells missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Griffin scored 10 points in the first quarter and had 13 in the third.
“It was cool,” Griffin said of his first-quarter, head-to-head matchup with perennial All-NBA post Tim Duncan. “I’ve watched him for as long as I can remember, since I was 8 years old and he was in his first year in the league. It was really cool to go up against him.”
The Clippers outscored the Spurs 29-26 in the fourth quarter behind 13 points from Al Thornton.
Richard Jefferson, acquired by San Antonio from Milwaukee in an offseason trade, scored 15 points in 16 minutes, all in the first half. Rookie DeJuan Blair added 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs.
“I came into a situation where a lot of guys already have known the system for a long time,” Jefferson said. “My job is to learn the system and figure out how it all fits for me. Once I can figure that out, I can be more aggressive. It’s almost like I am a rookie again, but the more I get to play, the more aggressive I can be.”
Jordan, a second-year player from nearby Texas A&M, finished with 15 points and eight rebounds.
Neither Jefferson nor Tim Duncan, who had six points and five rebounds in 17 minutes, played in the second half. Tony Parker did not play at all for the Spurs.
Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman sat out for the Clippers.
Jefferson scored eight straight points for the Spurs during a late stretch in the second quarter. One of his baskets in the run came off crisp passes from Manu Ginobili and Antonio McDyess, another heralded offseason pickup as a free agent.
The Spurs took their first lead, 28-27, when Jerrells hit a 21-foot jumper not quite 3 minutes into the second quarter. Jefferson re-entered the game at the 8:20 mark and took over, scoring the eight straight points in a 2-minute stretch.
George Hill’s 3-pointer with 29.4 seconds left in the first half gave the Spurs a 51-44 lead. Hill finished with 13 points.
Griffin, who didn’t play in the second quarter, had a thunderous dunk at the beginning of the third. Later in the quarter he converted another alley-oop, this one one-handed off a pass from Ricky Davis.
“We have to make plays like that,” said Griffin, who was 5 of 6 from the field in the third period and 10 of 14 overall. “It was great that we kept it somewhat close throughout the game, and we made the plays that gave us the momentum.”
The lead went back and forth in the final quarter before Thornton scored 11 straight points for the Clippers, including a 3 that put them up 89-83.

For what? This is a Spurs website after all, and all this Blair worship is getting ridiculous.
Not as bad as the way everyone worships chris paul.
He has had a damn good preseason, and put up something like 11 PTS and 12 REB tonight. Why make snide remarks?
Are you saying you are getting tired of the optimism about a Spurs player on a Spurs board from Spurs fans?
Who worships Chris Paul? Nobody on here, that's for damn sure.
You call that optimism? Spurs fans are exhibiting fanaticism about Blair. Tone it down.
He played great, really shows why he was drafted 1st overall.
How about you STFU and don't worry about it. Hornets fan on a Spurs board. You sound like a telling fans on their own board to tone it down.
Better than getting killed by Stephen "my team is a f*cking disaster" Curry![]()
After watching him in that summer league game I was sold. I never realized he had such a nice shot. Looks like the whole package to me. If Blair is even in the running for ROY he's the second draft steal of the decade for the Spurs IMHO.
Comon, at least make it into a joke so it's funny.
