Lebron would not play the Spurs anyways so this didn't hurt that path at all. The Bulls could knock them out IMO, with Love out and so on they are vulnerable and I can see them being knocked out before the Finals honestly. Knowing the Weak east though who knows?

Just like this year too little too late. If they play with this passion in game 6 they win and if they play with this passion a little earlier or the NO game they are the 2nd seed and cruising to round 2 past Dallas.

very true

Not enough players on the Spurs showed up. The Clippers essentially beat the Spurs with just two players (who were amazing obviously) and some contributions by a random role player varying from game to game.

Kawhi was horrible these past 3 games and Parker played 3 times as many minutes as he should have. You can't up a chance to go up 3-1 at home or close out the series at home....especially without HCA.

Clippers looked more comfortable in our own building in the fourth quarter than we ever did. You knew the Spurs were screwed in Game 6 when Paul and Griffin finally played like but it was still tied at halftime. Game 7 you have an injured Paul who had to go to the locker room and the Spurs couldn't do to take advantage. There isn't the slightest doubt in my mind who was the better team in this series and they weren't from Texas. Spurs gave a good effort in Game 7 but they played too stupid for too long in this series to really capitalize. I also never saw it as "If the Spurs beat the Clippers they are a lock for the WCF". Houston is a ty matchup and have a better bench then the Clippers. Spurs have 0 answer for Harden/Howard and you know Brewer and to a lesser extent Terry and Josh Smith would have random career nights against us in typical Spurs fashion.

It hurts to lose at the end of a game, it hurts to blow a 5 point lead with a couple minutes left, it hurts to have poor shot selection (Parker forcing a terrible shot over Red ) and have key players go completely MIA.

But this team wasn't going anywhere this year anyway. It is what it is.
