Game Thread: Spurs vs Clippers -- Fri. (12/18) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs not even bothering to contest Griffith's wide open free throw jumper

[ElNono]

They certainly are shooting too well but they're getting too many open jumpers by Blake right now.

He shoots at a 40% clip from there... tonight he can't miss.... one of those nights I suppose

[BatManu20]

Don Nelson in the house sitting with RC Buford

[313]

tbh..this is like a continuation of that last year series..we just can't stop them..praying for shots not to fall..

Pop putting Kawhi on CP3 because he still hasn't learned his lesson

[vander]

Every Spurs shot is difficult, every Clippers shot is wide open and the shot they wanted

[TheGreatYacht]

Crowd letting these refs get away with Kings/Lakers-esque ... How long does it take to finish a Whataburger meal tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

They are getting open jumpers all night.

The defense has to give up something, that's the way it work in the NBA. The Clippers are taking what the defense gives them & converting.

[steeledl]

Don Nelson should be our assistant haha

[Neurosis]

Our team defense is just horrible so far. If we fix that we'll stomp them.

[coachmac87]

The potential lob to Jordan really freezes our defense...

[Fireball]

Parker freezing kawhi out this quarter trying to hero ball against CP3 per par.

Hey Apo ... you are back I guess

[ElNono]

Now if we lose, the meltdown will probably be epic

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They really need to close Whataburger in the building once there's less than 5 minutes left before the start of the next half

[313]

He shoots at a 40% clip from there... tonight he can't miss.... one of those nights I suppose

The shots he's getting tonight are practice jumpers, any nba player would knock them down. No one's even running at him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The thing that sucks is if this is a close game in crunch time we know how the Spurs do in that department lately.


HATE the Clippers

[Kawhitstorm]

The Clippers neutralize Kawhi by using screens. Paul isn't stupid to go 1-on-1

[SpurPadre]

Clips are 8-10 this quarter and aside from Griffin's miss I don't know when the other one was.

Blocked shot by DG. Jordan would probably hit a three if he tried.

[steeledl]

Yep is most definately raged play cthunder over clippers in second round..... We don't have answers for them

[Robz4000]

Clippers have such a supreme confidence playing the Spurs. No fear whatsoever.

Lot of teams feel that way tbh. Becoming an alarming trend.

[EVAY]

Clippers just thrive in the area that the Spurs generally don't defend well.

Well I think this is true in that the mid-range game is one that the Spurs coaching staff decided a long time ago to "give" teams, because it is a generally inefficient shot, unless they make them, as the Clips seem to always do against us

[Ice009]

Clippers just don't miss against the Spurs. I'd never seen a team hit so many flukey bull shots against the Spurs as they did in the second half of game 7 last year. At least 4-5 high degree of difficulty bailout shots they made in that 4th quarter. That is continuing on today.

[urunobili]

Dont see the spurs winning this one... The refs are making it 5 on 8...

[timtonymanu]

Smh another open shot. Just watching Paul shoot.

[SAGirl]

Manu lost on transition D that posession.

[loveforthegame]

Much needed Mills 3.
