Game Blog: Spurs vs. Clippers - Game 1 (8:30 PM CST)

[Russo21]

5 down, 11 to go

[EVAY]

Tony and CP basically offset each other...each with under 10 points, 10 or 11 assists, and 4 turnovers apiece.

[Marcus Bryant]

Diaw with a decent Horry impersonation tonight.

Timmy Best Player of the game

Hopefully, TP and Tiago will boss the next game.

Jackson deserves some love too.

Splitter and Neal need to get it together too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We weren't great - turned it over too much, played lazy D at times - still won going away. great stuff, and I love this team more than any Spurs team since 2005.

[DPG21920]

Tim plays so well still. Love it. Proud of Kawhi/Green. They are earning their stripes.

[MannyIsGod]

Get used to it Clipperfan.

[ElNono]

We win!

[timtonymanu]

It's been four years. FOUR years since we had ONE 2nd round win. It's so sweet.

Diaw with a decent Horry impersonation tonight.

Great call. Really similar impact to tonight.

Now Let's hear turtle head break the game down.

[maverick1948]

We took too long to put this Clippers team away, and our starters played too many minutes as a consequence. With 3 games in the next 4 nights, lets hope this doesn't come back to haunt us down the road.

I think 38 mins for Parker and 35 to Duncan are way to much.

WOW all season because they didnt play a ton of minutes now you say this. Come on isnt this why they didnt play in the regular season?

[Knoxxx]

Clean up the TOs

Fix Splitter

More aggression from Jax

Fix Neal at PG

Some things to work in a sloppy 16 PT win

[Budkin]

Oh the SHIRT OFF is coming up! Poor Chuck.

[timtonymanu]

Paul played like but so did TP. No excuses. Spurs were the better team tonight.

[Budkin]

It's been four years. FOUR years since we had ONE 2nd round win. It's so sweet.

Damn I never thought of that.

[NASpurs]

Get used to it Clipperfan.

He's going to start posting youtube videos of Derrick Favors... I mean Eric Bledsoe and tells us how Bledsoe is going to change the series in their favor.

[wut]

That Clippers fan still around? How did I know he'd disappear just like his team in the 2nd half.

Parker plays like complete ass...Spurs still win by 16. I'll take it.

Tony needs to wake up though...Spurs aren't going to make 13 threes every game.

[Crookshanks]

It seemed like the 1st round took forever, and now they're having to play 3 games in 4 nights - seems kinda stupid to me. But I think the Spurs will be better off because we had so much rest after sweeping the Jazz, while the Clippers are coming off a very tough, physical 7-game series.

[GSH]

WOW all season because they didnt play a ton of minutes now you say this. Come on isnt this why they didnt play in the regular season?

More goods being brought. You're exactly right, this is why they played short minutes for the regular season. They have somewhere between 11 and 16 games left, and they should be well-rested for them. Now's the time to bring it.

[urunobili]

Jason Terry forced to kiss the Spurs ass on NBATV now...

[Knoxxx]

Certainly a very complete team we saw tonight.

With the heavy minutes for TD/TP that is at least a small concern heading into next game then the b-2-b this weekend.

TD is the poster child for a workout regimen that includes swimming. Still going strong at 36 despite his penchant for m&ms and Nacho cheese doritos.
