Load Management is 5-16, they're on the 2nd of a back to back, no Paul George and yet we're down at the half. That's not good at all.

I think it's awesome. If you told me before the game that it would be 2 points at the half, I would have jumped on it. A little help from LMA in the second half and it could be a ball game at the end. That's all I could ask for.

Bruh

Only in Spurstalk is Paul George a scrub...

[8FOR!3]

Glad Lonnie got some burn, he made a couple of nice plays on both sides. What really gets me is why is Belinelli playing over Carroll at this point? We could just use the defensive boost if anything, Beli isn't hitting shots anyways.

They're the better team with a top-3 player and they’re at home...

[raybies]

Load Management is contained, as usual, problem is that Spurs can't hit open threes,

that's starting to concern me actually. When defenses tighten up we could have a problem there. Demarre might be a solution

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs defense is good, but the offense is terrible. They don't seem to know what to run

[BatManu20]

Aldridge, Dejounte, Rudy, and Bryn all need to play better the second half. Or it will be an L.

[SpurSpike]

Clips got a decent half time show.

[FkLA]

Would've been down 20 last year.

We're a darkhorse, boys. Just have to phase out Wombat and Belli.

[Mirrornick]

missed the first half. Hows the kawhi vs dd duel

[FkLA]

Best part to end the first half was when Patty was unable to sub in.

[SpurPadre]

Our two arguably best players have only 3 and 2 points apiece though

True but as much as I like Murray, he's on a minutes restriction and he didn't make the most of the time he was there in the first half. LMA really needs to turn it on because it's highly unlikely Load Management chucks his team out of the game in the 2nd half and there's only so much Murray can do the rest of the way. Hopefully White gets more minutes with zero minutes for Marco.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Demar is playing well but falling into trap of be coming ball dominant. You got DWhite out there

knowing else is making shots.

talk about an understatement...

i feel by the end of the year we may think a lot better.... they got a lot of potential. got to stay healthy, and pop's got to show dam da way

[SpurPadre]

Should Gay start over Lyles from here on out guys?

Lyles has been fine so far,, what have you seen otherwise?

[8FOR!3]

The DeRozan hate is obnoxious. The guy was happy in his scenario and he got traded for a guy who wanted out for whatever reason yet you guys still can't get over the guy we traded for him. DeRozan is playing hard and having a really nice game. Stop judging him for what he's not.

[Spurs Homer]

Lonnie played some nice D - but Pop yanked him

hope lonnie overcomes it and wins pop over

cant understand the negative comments about lonnie

if he had the minutes beli gets he would improve immediately

[hombre]

I never watch Leonard now, he's gotten so slow. His defense ain't the same either.

[Dex]

Half-glass full...the Spurs are hanging tough and keeping the game really compe ive, even with a pretty lame showing by LaMarcus so far. Their defense seems to be somewhat clogging things up for the Clippers, and this may need to be a game where they just hang around and hope for a late killshot.

Half-glass empty...Gay and others have missed some very make-able shots and plays and been pretty slopping at times, otherwise the Spurs could have a nice cushion right now instead of treading water. If the Clippers offense decides to wake up, the momentum could shift pretty quickly.

[BatManu20]

Should Gay start over Lyles from here on out guys?

No. We need him off the bench. If Lyles ever finds his shot, he will actually be a decent role player. But for now Rudy is better suited running with the second team guys.

[Degoat]

I wanna like Trey Lyles so bad but he's worthless on offense

We need more reliable outside shooters but we are definitely better than last year
