2015 Western Conference first round: Spurs vs. Clippers

[SpursFan86]

Tbh, everyone talks about how ty their bench is but it's been the difference in our losses to them. Crawford routinely s on the Spurs and they also are the only team that Tom Rivers Jr. actually plays well against. , Spencer Hawes and Glen Davis have murdered the Spurs too.

Like I said in the OP, if Pop pulls some like he did tonight and plays Belinelli for long periods of time guarding guys like Re or Crawford, we're going to get torched. Also would like to see a bit more of CoJo in this series...his defense could be useful against CP3.

If they're not scared of Jordan and if they ride Kawhi...Spurs in 5.

Warriors luck out and have their two biggest threats in the West face each other in the 1st round.

[Malik Hairston]

How many games will Parker quit on the team this post-season? Last year he did twice.

Fortunately, Paul/Clippers are a team Parker generally plays well against, and the Spurs can also hide him on Matt Barnes..obviously you always have to be concerned with Parker's playoff no-shows, but this shouldn't be a difficult series for him..

They also don't have a defensive wing to guard him with, as their wing defenders are ty..

BTW, if there's a team that is just as annoying to play against as the Rockets, it's the ing Clippers, tbh..

Paul, Griffin, Barnes and Crawford..ugh..

Their fans are a lot better than Rockets fans, though, Clippers fans are good people..

Yep, and they have by far the best commentators in basketball, from an away-fans perspective (not that it'll matter for this series, js).

[BatManu20]

In case you all needed a refresher.

[benstanfield]

The Clippers, like the Blazers last year, are one of the few teams where playing Beli is at least somewhat justified so long as he's scoring. Matt Barnes isn't going to score on him. Hedo Turkoglu isn't going to score on him. Putting him on Crawford would be a disaster but I'd like to think Pop isn't that stupid.

Spurs in 5

[kobyz]

though series, why we did it to ourself? CP3 is a great first round player, Clippers also feel like it's their time to shine and to go deep in playoff...

Prediction: Tom Rivers complains to the media about hack-a-Jordan at some point in the series

I was gonna predict it happens before the series even starts.

Remember that the Clippers have no bench, much like Portland last year. This is usually not a good recipe for success in the postseason.

Until crawfe checks in and goes ape on them.

Dennis Scott and Mike Dunleavy picked LAC to win

[KL2]

No reason not to feed Leonard the ball every single time he's on the court, let him score at will and draw double teams sucking in the defense.

This could be big for Leonard, get his confidence up there, a big series against the Clippers would be great for him. Last time Popovich had Mills/Bellinelli guarding Crawford, he needs to stick Cojo on him instead, idk how many minutes Mills will play this series.

[Clipper Nation]

Until crawfe checks in and goes ape on them.

Crawful is historically a terrible postseason player.

[Pauleta14]

Remember that the Clippers have no bench, much like Portland last year. This is usually not a good recipe for success in the postseason.

If they are healthy enough (which they are) it won't be an issue for them, Doc will play his starters +40min easy...

It's only the 1st round, if it was later why not, but fatigue isn't a factor in the 1st round

With Spltter injured, this is by far the worst 1st round possible...

Tony can't match CP's production anymore and Timmy will end up at best exhausted.

[gambit1990]

not worried at all.

[xellos88330]

This should be a great series. If the Spurs can gang rebound, the Clippers could be in big trouble. Spurs in 6.
