Game Thread: Spurs vs Clippers — Thur. (12/13) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

That wizards trade proposal is so awful

Give up a young All-NBA Defender and a blossoming athletic SG for a known-malcontent who is the exact opposite of "Spurs culture" and probably wouldn't stay in San Antonio anyways?

Hard pass.

Any chance that Lonnie had to play with the big squad was killed with this current win streak.

Pop finally has a rotation that is semi-functional...he is not going to throw in a guy who has not played a single NBA minute and, though talented, has been erratic in his play so far.

I love Lonnie as a prospect, but he has a long ways to go before he really learns the NBA game. And the minutes aren't there in San Antonio to do that until we hit full tank mode...but we are not there yet.

Nice match up for D White, going against a rookie

Would have been a lineup where starting Cun could have been justified (two big combo-forwards), so let's hope White doesn't fall apart again and makes Pop not stick with him.

Clips are in trouble vs spurs/poodle POWER!

Exactly. Starting Cunningham or Bertans could have been justified. That tells me the current five will be the starting lineup as long as White can keep his head above water and Gay doesn't get destroyed by a power forward (like that Taj Gibson disaster).

Well, "justified" in terms of Pop matching up size-wise with the Clippers.

[NameLess Scrub]

Y'all know Lou Williams has been dreaming with tonight when he will feast on the Spurs and make the crappiest winning shot.

This game is the only thing between me and some much needed O-Town. Start the game already.

Spurs arena really feels like an old shopping mall

[timvp]

Handing out one-size-fits-all t-shirts in San Antonio is a risky proposition...








Seriously, though, I'm trying to remember what years the Spurs wore those as their warmups and I can't figure it out. Seems like it was quite a while but they were gone by the time TD arrived.

yep

[timvp]

Looks like a clear path to me, tbh.

Spurs season in a nuts

[Chinook]

You missed the point I was making in your effort to get a zinger in.

[NASpurs]

I keep thinking Tobias Harris is Paul Pierce. (not really but just the resemblance in game or something? Must be the jersey #)

[TDomination]

did i hear bill land correctly? are we really the best ft shooting team in the league?

[r0drig0lac]

smart play by White, Forbes looking confident out there

[Chinook]

He's said that before. The team has had numerous games where they've shot either perfectly or very close to it. I guess those balance out the games where they seem to miss a bunch.

[TDomination]

Thank You, gotta take advantage of a mismatch. I feel like this team doesn't do that often enough. As soon as they see one, they should go to it.

wow this definitely isn't the Duncan Spurs in more ways than one lol

[timvp]

Come on Pop, fight the urge to put in Cunningham.
