When Manu starts finishing layups, look out!

[Russo21]

Thinking back to the draft when I was like who? For George? And now he's the best player on the court this 2nd round playoff game not named Tim. He's a terminator.

Leonard is the man

[Budkin]

Their fluke shots aren't going down now.

[tmtcsc]

I like that this isn't a breeze. Thursday, the rust will be gone and this game will serve as a wake-up call.

[Supergirl]

LOL Bledsoe suddenly missing...we knew that was coming.

[Spurologist]

Bledsoe finally coming back to earth

[100%duncan]

All right. Empty the bench.

[Budkin]

I love how we're taking it to the hole!

[BanditHiro]

wow clippers are playing really lazy defense now.

[phxspurfan]

It's a shame we won't be able to bring all these guys back. So much talent on one roster

[td4mvp21]

The crowd BLOWS. The Spurs haven't been in this good of a position in at least 4 years, they should be more excited

[Crookshanks]

Yeah - Bledsoe is finally starting to miss. I think that 7-game series with Memphis is catching up to them.

[timvp]

With the Clippers playing midget ball surrounding Griffin at center, Ginobili should just keep driving. Even when Griffin helps, he usually telegraphs what he's going to do.

[Supergirl]

Clips have only scored 13, Spurs 12 in this quarter and there's only 3 minutes to go.

[Knoxxx]

TD 22 and 10

[Russo21]

I like that this isn't a breeze. Thursday, the rust will be gone and this game will serve as a wake-up call.

damn right.

[Budkin]

Tony Parker has been .

Butler and Bledsoe played their best game of the series.

Parker and Splitter... and yes those guys couldn't miss.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and Kawhi with great game

Boris, Green and Manu all solid

[timtonymanu]

Get this 2nd round win. May 2008 was forever ago. . . .

[Budkin]

I like that this isn't a breeze. Thursday, the rust will be gone and this game will serve as a wake-up call.

This x 1000

[GSH]

wow clippers are playing really lazy defense now.

We've been doing this the entire second half of the season. Just wearing teams out by the 4th quarter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Controlled dismantling of Clips in last 2 mins. Exactly what I expect from our smart, veteran team at the end of the game.

Could but I just don't see it. I think Pop's lineup is set as far as who he trusts. More ball handling for Manu if Neal is insecure. He might send in Mills to do a Hack-A-Jordan/Martin ala Anderson though.

Fair call. I wonder what he does with Neal then - Bledsoe's D puts Neal totally out of sync when handling the ball. I guess Manu will do all the ball-handling.

[baseline bum]

Lawler's Law says the Spurs win!

[Hooks]

the Clippers' flopping has been neutralized due to BG and CP3s injuries LOL.

They can't kick their legs out like they normally do.

[DPG21920]

This went about as good as you could hope. Besides that burst of threes, Spurs playing mediocre and Clips playing fairly well. Spurs still stiff arming la.
