Chris Broussard still picks the Spurs not only to win the series with L.A. but the West.

If I wasn't a Spurs fan I'd pick Clippers in 7. But I'm too much of a homer so I'll go with Spurs in 6.
yeah feed leonard every time and wear him out
spurs have plenty of others they all need to share the ball
leonard needs to save some enegery for d
spurs do better when everyone is in double figures
The Spurs have a back to back game this series! wtf!
If DeAndre can hit his foul shots, starters plus Crawford will combine for 90% of total minutes (36 minutes on average across the board, with Paul/Griffin playing more). If not, Hack-A-Jordan is in play.
Clippers will be very hard to come back on as they do hit their foul shots outside of Jordan. If the Spurs get into foul trouble early in a quarter, I'd go with Hack-A-Jordan ASAP. Otherwise, let things play out.
feel better after a night's sleep s
what the happened last night?
Splitter Watch 2015.
He won't be worn out, if you give him the ball in the post he's going to have a mismatch almost every time.
The Clippers don't have anybody that can guard him physically, look at their roster. Barnes/Crawford/Red , all these guys don't have the size to guard Leonard, every other bigger player usually plays PF, everyone else stands no chance. He's too quick for BG/Jordan on the perimeter, just a bad match up for LA.
You put him in the post, he's going to get within 5 feet of the rim, that happens, they swarm him, or else he scores. They swarm, he passes out to a wide open man. Even if they do force him to shoot it and he misses, he's there for a rebound, Leonard is the best rebounding SF in the league, he's going to be able to grab them over Red /Crawford/Barnes very easily.
If they run everything through Leonard, Spurs will win.

3. Clippers-Spurs will be ...
Adande: An instant reckoning. Six months ago this seemed like a possible conference finals matchup. Instead, there's a credible threat to end the Spurs' reign of dominance, or to prompt a Clippers shakeup after one round of the playoffs. Home-court advantage and stellar seasons by Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan give the Clippers a shot, but what have we learned about premature reports of the Spurs' demise? Spurs in six.
Pelton: A bloodbath. There's a case that these are two of the NBA's three best teams. The Clippers and Spurs finished second and third in the league in point differential, respectively. The winner of this series will be the greatest threat to Golden State in the Western Conference. I'd pick the Clippers in any other first-round matchup, but because of the way things played out, I'm taking Spurs in seven.
Shelburne: Epic. This has the potential to be the best first-round series of the playoffs. It's also the Warriors' dream scenario, as one of the two teams that had a real shot to knock them off will go out in Round 1. I thought the Clippers could make a run this season, but the Spurs should exploit their lack of depth and win this one in six.
Stein: Incredibly harsh on the team that loses. I can't pick against the reigning champs after watching San Antonio's 21-4 finishing kick from Feb. 27 to the regular-season finish line, but don't forget that the Clips uncorked a 14-1 surge of their own into the postseason once they got Blake Griffin back. Mark this down as yet another win for the Warriors, because it means one of the two teams playing the best ball in the West outside of the Bay Area won't see Round 2.
Wallace: A slugfest. What's the reward the Clippers get for playing their best basketball of the season the past few weeks? A first-round date with the defending champions. That's a tough draw, but if Paul, Griffin and Jordan are desperate to take the next step toward le contention, it's essentially now or never. Yes, it's a very difficult draw, but the Clippers are out of excuses. The clash of contrasting styles should make this the most intriguing series in the first round.
Spurs suck on the road. Luckily, the clippers home court sucks. This will be a toss up.
Wow. My WAG would be Warriors 95%, Clippers 53%, Grizzlies 70%, Rockets 65%. I don't think they're taking injuries into account.
Spurs in 6! Pop will use the hack a Jordan to stop the flow of the offense for clippers! I don't fear these choke es!
Am I the only one who thinks Spurs are going to slap the Clippers? Their team kinda sucks. Spurs have the players to guard Paul. They have no real other perimeter threat. And their "DPOY" can't stay on the floor in crunch time because he can't hit a FT to save his life.
Spurs in 5 tbh
Where did you see that? Espn says otherwise.
Give Blake the Amare treatment, let him score 38 and shut everyone else down, imo
Clippers in 4 or 5, Clippers talanted team with tough coach and HCA... Spurs not as good as last year, Manu and Mills half of what they were last season. Boris also not the same, belli and bynes getting minutes, right now our bench not so strong... also all season we seems to have bad karma( Pop's beard and that apalisoc poster), dosn't feel it's going our way, feeling like it's Clippers time...
The schedule says the Spurs are playing Game 4 and Game 5 back to back? What?
now I have to watch the game on mute or on the local broadcast
Ugh, Reggie Miller??
Reggie Miller is a huge Clippers homer too. I expect him to be obnoxious as usual against the Spurs
I wonder if Duncan228 is buying tickets to the game.
