absolutely hilarious
I got a close game with the Clips pulling away late in the 3rd. Hope I'm wrong like always.![]()
^^^ YEAH.
Spurs have yet to have their backs against the walls in these playoffs. We will see how we come out. Usually when pop calls out the team, we come out the next game with better energy than the game prior.
Yeah, I'm proud of this team regardless of the disappointment they might have caused for their efforts in the close out game 6. The Clippers are a top three team in the league when Blake Griffin and CP3 play the way they've been playing. Just gotta tip your hat to them.
Agree with the first. The Clippers are no joke. I don't think the Warriors are as good as people think they are. They are very flawed. Memphis will make it a series with them.
We got this. Spurs to respond and get the job done.

I have no confidence in pop tonight. None
If he were going to make any changes, we would surely not hear about them in the pregame or postgame pressers.
I am somewhat ambivalent on the Hack-a-Jordan, and this is one reason why. In some of these games we have been impotent on defense to stop them. I believe that without it, in a game or two, they would have blown us out of the water. It allowed us to keep it close, and at least be within striking distance for a chance to win.
I do think it takes the game out of the refs hands, to some extent, as well. Blake isn't getting rewarded with questionable and-1 opportunities, Paul isn't being rewarded with flops and and-1's, similarly. We end up giving up 1 point for what often would have been three.
That is not to say it doesn't have it's disadvantages, as well. It does give Blake, et. al. rest, and with no bench, they need it. When our offense is working, it may funk up our rythm, gets us into foul trouble, and we lose some of the o-rebounds on the second attempted free throw.
Luckily, those lost offesnive rebounds were lost earlier in the series. I believe they got that cleaned up after one particularly bad game were they lost like three of them. I don't remember this being a problem since that game.
All said, it is a mixed bag, and a strategy that Pop wrestles with employing, himself, as it doesn't show up in every game, nor at every time Jordan is on the court. It is a tool, anyway, but maybe not always the right tool for the job.
I agree. We match up well with the Warriors. I don'r fear them any more than The Clippers or The Rockets. This year may be different, but they will have to prove it to me. Of course, I am not optimistic we make it that far, or even past tonight.
Sucks for Europe though. Right in the middle of the friggin' night.![]()
All the negative Nancy's off!
gotta see Ballmerde cry
Clips' defense has been pretty tough, disrupting Spurs offense, while Spurs defense gives awa too many open mid-range jumpers.
If we do make it past tonight, I hope we have enough left in the tank to beat the Rockets, who I know aren't as good as the Clippers. Gotta focus on tonight though...just under 3 hours away!
Them losing their starting poing guard definitely makes me feel more at ease, but cart before horse.
I'm bottomless with a black Manu jersey. Even if we repeat I think he's done. no reason for Timmy to retire.
Spurs will win by double digits! Go Spurs Go!
