The Clippers, Griffin nowithstanding, are a hugely sucky team. Even with the Big Three having a bad night, this Spurs team with their supposed newfound depth should have put on a much better showing than they did.
Sucks to lose to the Clips but you could tell they were tired as .

yeah i second that. what happened to tp? too much eva on his mind? not enough basketball?
To Parker's credit, we don't know how he would have played had he got his 30 minutes like Duncan and Ginobili did.
If the spurs are this worn out already I would be kind of worried. The Big 3's minutes have been down this season.
So you're willing spend page after page defending Bonner for leading all bigs in minutes and doing absolutely nothing, including giving up a huge run that was the difference in the game, but you aren't willing to defend Splitter for anything he did, even though he defended, drew fouls and got a block. Yeah, you don't have an agenda or anything.![]()
Man, Splitter was hustling and showing effort out there. He didn't draw meaningless fouls. How are drawing fouls meaningless anyway? Doesn't any team want to get in the penalty and shoot foul shots? And besides that the guy drew fouls trying to hit the offensive glass going for a tip in like good bigs are supposed to do. It was some energy the Spurs needed at the time. Give me the guy who hustles over the guy who just throws up bricks all game and does nothing else.
A crappy team can beat a good team any night - just look at the Lakers losing to the Grizzlies and to the Rockets. Tonight was just not the Spurs night - they've had some really great comeback wins already, but they just didn't have it going tonight.
Somebody figure out Bonner's 3G% home vs road
I defended Bonner?
Go back and reread then come back and tell me I defended Bonner.
manny big ears and nose must of blocked his eyes bonner was horrible
The minutes come from the fact that nobody else can create anything. I'm sure Pop wanted a blowout just like against the warriors, but it didn't happen, and only Manu, Hill, Tony and TD can create anything. Tony was MIA, and Hill has gotten this habit of dribbling the clock down. That's where the minutes come from.
So true.
As of today:
Home: 28%
Road: 1%
FWIW, from an outside fan's perspective, it is damn strange to see the Spurs and Greg Popovich living and dying by the 3. They're still very fundamentally sound in other areas, and the Spurs with Duncan to some extent have always been a good three-point shooting team around Duncan, but I've never seen the overall team performance sway with the three-pt % like it is this year.
Just an observation.
Hey Cant_Be_Faded, there are two posters here that always and I mean always talk opposite of what the facts are. Even before i started posting I would just read and it's the same 2 people, amazing. I wonder if they were the head coach would they have the same opinion?
I hate these B2B games. I wonder if the Clippers fans knew they had just beaten the team with the best record in the NBA![]()
Ambivalent feelings about this one-on the one hand, disappointed that Spurs lost but not surprised; on the other hand, it's nice to see the ugly stepsisters of LA basketball aka the clippers win a game against a good team! Despite their dismal record, if things fall into place, they make yet make some noise this season.
Since apparently there are a bunch of really ing stupid people here who can't be bothered with reading comprehension I'm going to spell it out for you:
Bonner played badly.
Tiago played badly too.
I'm not defending Bonner by saying Tiago didn't start a run.
Tiago played better than Bonner. He deserved the minutes. Pop still gave them to Bonner. How do you defend that?
I don't. I already told you I would have played Blair.
How do you guys enjoy message boards if you don't read whats posted and just decide on your own what to respond to?
anyone have any idea what happened with tp?
Fun watching Griffin....he desperately needs a jumper to take his game to the next level
I don't mind losing against the 4-15 Clippers.
I'd be furious if we lost against the 6-13 Nets who, despite their record, are far more terrible than the Clippers are.
