Del Negro: Missing FTs is a big concern of ours.
Butthurt level: Expert
What I don't like about this game is that it exposed weaknesses in this team. Namely the lack of a backup PG.
...But we trailed by 24 points and won by 10. That's ing awesome.

player to be named from the spurs?
Dejuan Blair perhaps?
Del negro is a terrible coach, and the Clips SHOULD get rid of him.
With a decent coach this Clippers team has very good potential.
The bench got him the big lead and leaves the frigging starters in the whole 3rd quarter.
And he leaves the poor Evans to get exposed time after time.
This guy is a clown.
I need to sleep but this is too much excitement at 630 in the morning.![]()
Exactly.
Get Patty Mills in, get him some minutes, it will pay off against better teams.
No way neal can play PG in the WCF or the Finals.
No way.
Luckily, no one left has as quick a backcourt as the Clips, so this weakness will be minimized moving forward.
Tim: I don't think I got off the floor (blocking Blake Griffin).

While I do think Mills can be a better option at back up PG, he can't play big minutes... he might force turnovers...
I think we're okay, when Manu and Neal are in there.. I don't just don't* UNDERSTAND why Pop lets Neal dribble the ball when Paul.. one of the best at stealing the ball in the NBA is constantly pressuring him.
Actually Neal should be able to be hidden on defense a lot better against the likes of Derek Fisher or Steve Blake in the WCF. This is just a terrible matchup for Neal and Jack as well. I hope they keep mentally sharp because they'll both be needed in the next round.
That said, for this matchup game 4 I think Mills should get some minutes to limit TP and even if Neal is playing bad again.
They did just that!!

After Paul, it will be Westbrook.
And after that, it might be Rondo.
Neal just cant' bring the ball upcourt in pressure situations.
AT any rate, folks, before going to bed, I'll tell you this: this team is unreal.
Seriously unreal. They play like they KNOW they can't lose.
I'm as big a Spurs homer as the next guy, but damn, this game looked like a loss after the first quarter. Amazing comeback!
The Spurs may not lose a single game in these playoffs. Seriously.
Neal problem wasn't Paul. Paul is a starter and Neal is in the 2nd unit.
The problem was Mo Williams, Eric Bledsoe etc...
In the WCF, the 2nd unit PG is Fisher and the 2nd unit PG for Miami and Boston are also bad
If we play another ty quarter like that we will probably get beat next round. OMFG that was pathetic!
I'm seriously thinking about that possibility, I definitely can see that happening![]()
lol they'll lose games in the playoffs, might even lose game 4 after the energy it took to come back and get this one
If they play like they played in the first quarter today you can count on that for sure![]()
If the Clips are up big in the second half, Pop may wave the white flag early and rest them for Game 5. NFW we lose a Game 5 back in SA.
That said, after today's game, I don't think this Spurs team can be beaten.
Pop postgame interview: Can you tell us why your team is so special during this run?
Pop: Not really.
You ask him a question he doesn't like, and ehhh...
(awkward)

Stephen Jackson on Tim Duncan: "A lot of people messed up saying he was old last year."
If Spurs don't win the le.There needs to be an investigtaion,because they are by far the best team left in playoffs.
Yeah that was expected.
Thanks for the 2 worst moments of my clipper life: Robinson's 71 and today's punch in the groin.
But a very big genuine thank you for preventing any reason to keep Vinny. If y'all don't come back, Vinny might be signing an extension.
