Game Thread: Spurs at Clippers 10:30 EST (9:30 CST, 5:30 Riga Time) Sunday, April 19

The Spurs didn't quit, but they also didn't come out with any energy at all. The started the game on the back foot again (a trend they seem to be developing on the road). That needs to stop right now. They also didn't even try to match physicality with the Clippers at all. The Clippers pushed them around all night and the Spurs didn't really respond the way they should have.

The start of the game again told the story of how the Spurs were looking/going to play. They didn't come out ready to compete IMO. They did compete throughout the game, but for some reason they don't seem ready to do it at the start of games. You shouldn't be coming out like this in a road playoff game. I have no idea what they think they can accomplish doing that.

The first quarter seems to be a problem with the wrong tone being set. Not to bash on Parker, but it doesn't seem like the Spurs have an iden y when he starts out gunning or playing a two man game with Tim.

We started the game with two wide open 3s for Danny and he missed them. I'm sure if he makes them, we're talking how the Spurs came out on fire. We were clearly wholly unprepared for certain things, like Kawhi getting doubled, but that's what happens in the playoffs. Team watch a lot of tape and try to match up with you. Now we get to do the same. Hopefully we can shoot better too.
