I'm a little shocked the league didn't bring in Joey yesterday, or save him for the WCF.

Experience keeps Spurs calm
No team in NBA playoff history had recovered from a deficit as large as the Spurs faced at the end of the first quarter of Saturday's Game 3 at Staples Center: Clippers 33, Spurs 11.
As if this weren't discouraging enough, L.A.'s lead grew to 24 in the first three minutes of the second quarter, the red-clad crowd howling approval.
It was a situation so daunting even the most compe ive of Spurs believed the third victory of the Western Conference semifinals series would have to wait for another day.
“At one point,” Manu Ginobili said, “I thought there was no chance. (The Clippers) were playing so well and making every shot, and we couldn't even shoot. We were turning the ball over, and they were playing great. We were not ready. We looked like we were still in bed.”
If Ginobili feared all was lost, he never let it show, and what ultimately got the Spurs out of such a deep hole was the calm, calculated approach to chipping away at the Clippers' lead, one possession at a time. It helped that Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker had seen nearly every playoff situation imaginable, though none quite so daunting so early.
“Their experience lets them know you've just got to stay in the system and work it, and it will either work out, or it won't,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “That's that.”
After the Clippers' lead reached 24, the goal was to cut it to 10 by halftime. When they headed to the break trailing 53-43, optimism reigned.
“Once we made a little run and were down 16, 18, we were really talking about cutting the lead to 10 at halftime,” Ginobili said. “It happened, and then the starters in the third quarter were great. They just moved the ball well. They played easy and played great defense and when we went up eight (in the third), we knew it was going to be very hard for them to overcome that change of game.
“Being up 24, and then being down six, eight is very hard to overcome.”
Confidence is Popovich: When the Clippers sliced a 12-point Spurs lead to seven with 9:13 left in the game, Popovich called a timeout and drew up a play intended to get Gary Neal open for a 3-point attempt.
Coming from the baseline to the 3-point line off two screens, Neal took a pass from Parker and nailed the long-distance shot to push the lead back to double digits.
“Coach Pop drew that play up out of a timeout,” Neal said. “It was great execution. I got two great screens from the bigs, and I came up. Mo (Williams) shot the gap, and I was wide open. I'm glad it went in.”

Chris Paul just arrived at Staples Center, walking like a peg-legged pirate. Not a good sign for Clippers.
I could see Vinny throwing in the towel and sitting Paul this game...just a feeling I'm getting.
Paul is capable of doing a limping job just to game you.
Maybe he is not exaggerating...but maybe he is...we will know soon enough.
Barkley just said the Spurs are winning the Championship
fck him and the rest of the ballers faking injuries while still playing, cause they want a story to beat jordans flu game
