A scheduled loss ?

What do u guys think ?

Spurs lose in a close one

[dabom]

Is this your second trap game thread?..

[Fireball]

KenziE does the build up thread to the game thread ...

Lets just win it ... tough opponent on the road ... boost my confidence

Spurs are healthy except for Manu. Clippers are missing Griffin. This better be a win.

Tbf the Clippers have arguably been better without Griffin haven't they?

[100%duncan]

Gonna be a hard one especially how Spurs s up after a long rest

They might be, but they don't match up better with the Spurs if they don't have an offensive big. The Paul/Jordan PnR can be taken out if they don't have a threat at the other big spot.

[Robz4000]

Can see it going either way tbh.

but they also had an easy schedule during that stretch if I remember correctly ...

[Spurs9]

Blake could be traded by the time we play them

[jiggy_55]

Nah, Griffin is usually the nightmare match up for us. We can take care of them without him playing.

[HarlemHeat37]

Yep, they have mostly beaten up on mediocre/ ty teams..

Clippers seem to go on runs every season when either Paul or Griffin is out..speaks on their poor coaching/fit, if anything..

Blake has been a nightmare matchup vs. the Spurs the past few seasons, probably one of the top 3 players vs. the Spurs in the NBA right now..the combination of his improved shooting + very good passing kills the Spurs' bigs..

[Pauleta14]

I'm afraid the lack of rhythm will impact more the Spurs vets than the Clippers playing at home...

[KenziE]

Not a trap game coz clipps can compete they aint no scrub team


Yep fireball i do the build up game to game
thread you already know hahaha

GoSpursGo tbh !!!

[$pursDynasty]

I agree with previous posts while they have been playing better w/o Griffin lately, the thing that makes them a matchup nightmare for us is Blake. It is a road game after significant rest so I rate this as a toss up but if we get this one, me might go on a tear in the RRT.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Most everyone posting in here is correct. They won't beat us without Blake Griffin unless we punt. Our issue with them in recent seasons has always been the CP3/Blake pick and roll, which always works and forces us to pick our poison: give up the Jordan dunk (worst decision), give up the Paul shot or drive to the rim (second worst), or the Blake jumper/floater (which we normally have to give up but he still tends to hit those against us for some reason). Without Griffin, they don't really have that weapon.

Let's Hack-a-Jordan the out of them.

Do your thing Pop.

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs lose tbh.

Paul and Crawford will hit tons of crappy shots.
Jordan will make FTs
Austin Rivers will look like a star.
Paul will shoot around 12 FTs out of obvious flops, including almost fighting with someone over contact created by himself.

[look_at_g_shred]

Had this game as the only loss in the prediction thread.

[itzsoweezee]

They've had a really easy schedule. Blake is the difference between the Spurs sweeping LA versus losing in seven games last year.

Is rivers even back yet? No reason to ever lose to them without blake.

My bad. Hadn't realized Rivers was injured.

We might have a chance.

[spursistan]

two Spurs killa are out (Blake/Auscrub)..no excuse to not get a W after a week rest..

[DenialTwist]

Hope Pop doesn't do hack a Jordan. They can beat them without it. It ruins momentum and allows Chris Paul to rest. His only backup now is Prigioni. Spurs can take advantage of that, plus with Griffin gone it gives them a great chance to win. Boban on Jordan?
