[Floyd Pacquiao]

cmon spurs you have to come out strong dont give them any life

[Manu20]

Put in Neal the whole 4th quarter and the spurs will win going away!

[Budkin]

26-8... too bad we didn't start like that.

[ducks]

LOL at 8 points in the 3 quarter by clippers

[Spurs Brazil]

GREAT run.

12 more minutes

GO SPURS GO!!

[MannyIsGod]

For the love of all that is holy, no more Neal at the point.

[Russo21]

neal has reached his peak. Averaged the same as he did last year. i dont see him ever improving his game

[spursfanincolorado]

Don't worry - Neal will hit a dagger three or two to redeem himself, but damn his handles are bad

[Capt Bringdown]

Clippers will make a run, Spurs ain't won this one yet.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Very nice quarter. The 24-0 run certainly helped. Spurs have to keep focused, though. Clippers will come out with energy now.

[spursfan1000]

Spurs need to stay energized

[Keepin' it real]

Pop is a ing idiot ...

Go let Peter Holt know. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing your point of view.

[EVAY]

Well, the clippers came back from 20+ points down in a game against Memphis.

We just came back from 24 down in this game.

Should make for a uva 4th quarter, eh?

[Gagnrath]

Anyone?

Agree about Griffin the pussy, when things are going well knee is no problem, bad alley oop pass or missed shot, holds the knee.

Its not so much that its a problem with being a pussy as when you are excited and everything is flowing an occasional twinge is no big deal. As it hurts more you get less enthusiastic about challenging anything with regards to that knee and your play suffers leading to a bit of a feedback loop.

Add in tightening up during half time and well it can be understandable. Especially if you just did that 20 minutes ago without a real problem and now it hurts enough to be distracting.

[King K]

party rockers in the house tonight... nice song selection by ESPN at the right time.. :d

[Budkin]

I think if we keep executing and keep neal out of the game we'll be alright.

[Thomas3]

I think Clips @ Memphis a couple of weeks ago.

So we give them a turnaround back

[mando6599]

it'S ALL ABOUT OUR DEFENSE! THANK YOU KAWAHI!!!

[rasho8]

Keep Neal off the court... Just play Mills.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Not happy about the sloppy ending to the 3rd quarter, but hey, 26-8 is nearly as good as one could have ever asked for.

[timvp]

Alright, come on. Good start to the fourf.

[Ishta]

It's time to get surgical and start making some cuts

[NickiRasgo]

What's the record of the Spurs when entering 4th Quarter with the lead? Just curious.

[Whisky Dog]

Neal, Neal, Neal. I knew this series would be hard for him but got damn.

There's some danger here because the Spurs obvious blew every possible load to get back into this game. They can't allow the Clippers to go on a run because there's no enough energy for another comeback.

Keep your foot on their throats.

Believe.

What are the minutes at for the big 3? I think Parker will be fine and Danny Green should have a near full tank, but TD is having to do work and log minutes. We need Green, Leonard, Parker, Manu to take over here and Diaw or Splitter to give some big man defense and rebounding to spell Tim for a bit.

[Capt Bringdown]

What happened to Neal since last year? Last year's playoff hero is this year's turd.
