Pop finally pulled the soft card on the presser...

[therealtruth]

Everyone but Bellineli and Diaw sucked tonight but I'm still blaming Pop for this. It could have been different and he pissed it away. How do you not prepare for the high pick and roll that they kept running with Paul, Blake and Jordan?

The Clippers are moving on it. Pop needs to take the fine and call out the officials.

[DMC]

Back to pragmatism: It doesn't matter. This Spurs team is in no shape to go to the next round. They lost this playoffs by losing to that hole team in New Orleans in a game that would have put them at HCA at the start of the series. If you cannot win the most important game of the regular season against a scrub team that couldn't muster one ing playoff win, you don't deserve to be here. It sucks to say that about our own team, but it is what it is. Spurs are indeed soft, so is Pop, so are the asst coaches. They are soft because they don't ing CARE because everyone is thinking about retirement and summertime and they just got a ring at the beginning of the season, so they feel like they won already. Kawhi is the DPOY so he's got his award.

Just be happy they made it back to the playoffs, and don't be shocked to see the same lineup next year for a few games while they are healthy. They aren't walking away from the cash cow that is the SA fan base as long as they can walk and dribble a ball, which kind of puts Danny as the odd man out.

No steals for Leonard last 2 games

The Clippers aren't that good and that's what makes this so frustrating. They are one of the most mentally weak teams in the league. They are laughing their asses off right now. The hack a whoever is a bull move that shouldn't be used unless its necessary. It sure as shouldn't be used like its just some sort of tool like a time out.

God, what a disappointing and pathetic loss. You knew this thing was over after 3 quarters. Diaw answering questions with class and not blaming Pop.

[K...]

uh if we are 3 we might still have played the clips and they've won twice on our court. You think home court would make the diff on a seven game series the way these two teams have played? It's been absolutely crazy to think no team has been able to use home court advantage successfully. If there is a silver lining it's that the Clippers tense up in a game 7 and the spurs can hack through.

[loveforthegame]

ummmm, most of the team sucked ass

I know. I'm being sarcastic because there are plenty who are trying to pin this solely on Leonard. He was among many who the bed.

Uh they were the most mentally weak team, this year they have looked legit. Based on their perf tonight, and through the series are you not going to say they are a top 5 team this year? They have weaknesses of course but not as many as the spurs have right now. Clips houston should be good, although i have hope for 7 and am not checking out prematurely.

Blake has looked like a stud in this series and so has Paul. I didn't want to believe it, but the truth is, we don't have enough to win it all this year. Tony and Tiago not being 100% and Manu's age will be the end of the Spurs this season. Tim has done everything and more to contribute to another championship run but those dudes have let him down. Mills righted himself, Belli stepped up and Pop the bed.

[Cloud786]

How does putting TD in foul trouble on an instance when Pop didn't want to do it help us?

There was a miscommunication. Duncan was not suppose to foul there.

[TheGreatYacht]

No steals for Leonard last 2 games

was a baby back when he saw a screen coming

[TDfan2007]

He should have. Our guards did a piss-poor job of getting around screens. The only perimeter player who played worth a damn tonight was Marco.

Timmy also looked oddly disengaged tonight. Very strange to see.

[Slippy]

The Clippers are moving on it. Pop needs to take the fine and call out the officials.

That's the part I couldn't get . At the 1.20 mark for the Red three was the most obvious moving screen for the game that was missed. Blake literally jumped on the move . Pops worked the refs before in games, getting into their heads is part of the game . For the most part of this game he was quiet.

It comes with the territory. Just the same way the Clippers can get an offensive rebound if DJ misses.

[spursparker9]

Its okay.

DPOY is in the bag already

Calling out the refs will hurt his ego, c'mon man it's easier to blame the players

[dabom]

They are double picking Kawhi and he's not getting any help and Pop ain't ing making any adjustments. And they are all ing moving screens and Kawhi not going to flop when he gets a moving screen on him.

[UZER]

Did he pulled it out of his ass? Did he find his head in there while he was looking?

[jbspurs]

he needs to look in the mirror first. That soft piece of just cost the spurs a series.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

In regards to Kawhi, I think there is such a thing as playing "too hard". You still have to be kind of loose, still fully engaged, but loose to the degree that allows you to play YOUR game. JJ lit Kawhi up tonight, and fighting through screens isn't fun, but he can be too diligent and hard on himself. I didn't see Kawhi take a single fadeaway jumper from the post-up, that's how I know Kawhi wasn't playing his game tonight. However, I'm talking about a champion, so expect him to be our most effective player come Saturday.

[Malik Hairston]

I wish Pop had a little Belichick in him, tbh..

Man, alot of his shots just rimmed out tonight. Was just an off night imo. It also sucks that he has to cover for Parker on defense. This was Re s best game of the series I think. He's been doing good job on him.

He really has, and if the Clippers advance, JJ is going to average 19ppg against the Rockets.

[kobyz]

We are soft all series, Pop shoul have address it earlier...

[mkurts]

Un the ter, throw away the putrid pork crackles and put soylent green in the eviscerator asap

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Really? It worked later on when we were trying to play catch up (of course we would brick every shot anyway to waste it). It was absolutely foolish to do though when the Spurs were hitting 3's and had a 10 point lead.

I agree. When everything is clicking for the Spurs and they start hacking Jordan it takes us out of our rhythm and let's the Clippers off the hook. This isn't the first time this series he has ed the Spurs momentum by hacking Jordan.
