All right, Bill. The Clipper game is over. Ditch that damn avatar and bring back the milk-plus maids.

[PopTheGOAT]

Beat the Clips in LA

[UZER]

Manu and Parker with the fresh legs goods. Looks like a November game.

Singin' in the rain..I'm singin' in the rain!!!

Ballsiest win of the season. They can do better but so proud of them, tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

Eh a flukey win is a win in the end

[100%duncan]

So any volunteers for the grades?

Id take it but I missed the first 6 mins of both the 1st and 3rd quarters

[SAGirl]

Quality win.

A win in LA against the Clippers? A+ for everyone. Moving on.

The Spurs went LA blasting like:

[Darius Bieber]

Chris Paul going right from the bench to the locker room like the little that he is.

[Chinook]

Id take it but I missed the first 6 mins of both the 1st and 3rd quarters

It was pretty much all Spurs in the first and all Clips in the third.

I didn't take any notes whatsoever for this.. my grades are likely to be just awful. I dare not.

Spurs fans in LA cheer better than at home

What was the deal with the Spurs fans at Staples tonight? Never seen that before in that stadium.

I cant remember another year when I've seen/heard so many Spurs fans in visiting arenas.

No I'm from Vegas. Though I did get a Masters from the University of Manchester.

I didn't think so. The young Malcolm McDowell trilogy for me is: If, Clockwork Orange, O Lucky Man! I grew up with the music of the British Invasion, so I am partial to the soundtrack from OLM. The Alan Price Combo is very good. Plus anything that is related to the Animals is tops in my book. The trilogy goes from more to less political. "If" is pretty fascinating... Hope you find it.

Kawhi is the worst 4th quarter free throw shooter who makes 90% of them overall of all-time.

He's 108 for 125 this year (before tonight) in the fourth and OT or 86.4%. Not bad at all. 52 for 62 when score is within 5 points (83.8%) but sample size starts getting too small to be meaningful - three more FT and he's essentially at his season average.

Dedmon on these switches has been outstanding. Cutting down on the fouling too. And works within the offense. If the Spurs play GSW he's going to have to play a HUGE role defending their small ball lineups and imposing his size.

Happy with Pau showing some range tonight and will be interesting to see if he keeps pushing out his range the duration of the RS.

The one lineup I really enjoyed was the Parker-Mills-Manu one. Against a team without quality SF like the Clippers it is very playable. Remains to be seen if the Spurs can trot it out when the Warriors aren't playing Durant at the 3.

Clippers obviously were tired tonight but are still not a team I want any part of come the postseason. Would still much rather see the Rockets than them.

I don't want to mention this, but depending on how impactful he's in the playoffs... He reminds me of a Tristan Thompson like impact.. which means a huge contract.
We shall see, playoffs is where guys earn their contracts.

Dedmon's defense and Manu's hustle won this game for us tbh.

Where's robzz when you need him tbh

They were always cheered iirc against the clippers but tonight was on another level

[spursistan]

The Spurs' problems with the Clips are schematic. They just won't beat them relying so heavily on one player. That's why they used to be able to beat them while still resting the Big Three. A lot of guys are made to look worse than they are for no reason other than the new schemes.

A lot of truth in this..but question, can you bank on the fresh legs Manu/TP had tonight for a 7-game series? the decline of these two has killed us in this matchup ..
