Spurs in Game 5, series tied 2-2, during Duncovich era

[baseline bum]

Nice stats.
And since Game 6 OKC loss was a rigger, even better for Series results after Game 5s.

2013 Finals

I meant I'm worried the Spurs offense is completely done.

Start the game thread man!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Danny was awful, and Mills was abused on the defensive end by whoever he was trying to guard. The Clips played great and we looked terrible defensively. This series is going to be won by whichever team shows up on any given night. Pretty even match, best 2 out of 3 with HCA to the Clips. I'd say the Spurs backs are against the wall.

[Leetonidas]

Seriously, if there is any team in the NBA that can choke a 3-2 lead away it's LAC. And the Spurs have already beat CP3 in his prime after losing Game 5, in 7 games in his own building. While I expect a win tomorrow, a loss is not the end just yet

Come on son that was no CP3 in his prime. He was new to the playoffs

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Come on son that was no CP3 in his prime. He was new to the playoffs

He was hitting the same bull shots then that he is now. Just has a better supporting cast this time around. But we are better than in 08 as well.

Experience counts immensely. Cp3 was a playoff virgin. No way you can compare NOLA CP3 to today's imo

[hater]

Don't get me wrong he still CPchoke until proven otherwise. But he rally knows how to orchestrate his team in a playoff game as opposed to virgincp3

Did that mid air twirybird shot he threw up actually get partially blocked?

[in2deep]

young CP3 had no 3 pt shot. and he was not as effient a shooter. much easier to defend

this CP3 has a lethal 3 PT shot 45% for the series and is also shooting 58% FG

this CP3 is deadly.

[Chomag]

Clippers are still beatable but they are going to have to match their hunger.

[KaiRMD1]

Would a loss in Game 5 be a valid reason to cliffjump?

An elimination would probably be best, at least for me, old sport

[Arcadian]

Wow, 12-3 in game 5s when tied 2-2...that's probably best among all NBA franchises, I'm guessing.

[TDfan2007]

That's a great record, but it doesn't mean much. This year's version of the Spurs is a coin flip on the road. Too much inconsistency on both sides of the ball. Just gotta hope that the beautiful game spurs show up tomorrow.

Champions win big road games, especially pivotal game 5s.

[Marcus Bryant]

Expect CoJo a lot as well as 4down in Game 5.

[100%duncan]

This team is going to have to win a lot of big games on the road to win a le this year because of their record. So if they can't win game 5, it is what it is. That said, I like their chances of winning game 5 over their chances of winning game 7. Game 7 at home is a big advantage.

Yup. But what stings the most is that we were a regular season road win away from sweeping the Mavs and looking primed to repeat.

[100%duncan]

Expect CoJo a lot as well as 4down in Game 5.

Unless Timmy is having a godlike game I would stay far away from 4-down.

Spurs never make a great showing the year after a trophy. That's ok with me because we've had 5 iterations. They did ok in their younger years, but it's amusing to see how people expect a team on the cusp of evolution to catch lightning in a bottle over and over. They are a great team but hunger plays a large part in hunting and the Spurs are still digesting the kill they made almost a year ago. They are still capable of finding resonance and resurrecting the "beautiful game" but everyone needs to be involved, and right now almost no one is. That doesn't bode well for them.

If they lose, tip your hat to the Clippers, they finally got away from the Spurs in the playoffs, like a ship escaping the event horizon of the black hole.

I want to see the Spurs win again, but I'm very satisfied with what we have already. I was satisfied with the 50 game season tbh.

well said.

I'm just worried that the Spurs is completely gone. They can't make the Clippers pay for anything.

Clippers are playing very good defense and when the Spurs do finally get an open shot it ends up being a total brick. I feel like the Spurs have to work twice as hard to get good shots than the Clippers do. Not a good omen for this series.

On the upside, Diaw looked much better (though his outside shot is MIA) and you have to hope Danny Green can find his stroke before all fans end up having one with a game 5 loss. Pop also has to play much better lineups out there, and not have such a short leash on Green.

Well you're a complete got so why does your opinion matter?

[MateoNeygro]

All I can say is leave it out there on the floor and let the pieces fall as they may. Go Spurs Go!!!
