Can't wait!
Go Spurs!
Spurs have to take advantage of the Lakers winning last night and put this series away, don't want Clippers gaining any momentum on these B2Bs.
Don't give them any hope.
Go Spurs!!
Doing anniversary stuff with the wife today...so I will be recording it. Hopefully I can avoid the score during my travels.
Can't allow any alley oops throughout the game..that gets the crowd going and their momentum.
DAMMIT!!
My son has a football game so I'll be checkin the score on my phone!
Hopefully catch halftime somewhere!!
Agreed 100%. I expect pop to have an even quicker trigger with time outs tonight than usual. Id be surprised if we don't see a completely different Clips team today.
Go Spurs Go!
Happy Anniversary. Have fun.
Lets get this Spurs! Lets make this a must win!
Foot on throat. Let's get this.
Go Spurs!

Good stuff from Sean and Bill :

Brothers has favored the road team all year.
Bayern has this.
Wait, what??
Absolutely, I can't wait for this man. Will be interesting to see how much better the Clippers play at home.
I did a 40 mile cycle this morning, so I'm not feeling the slightest bit guilty about the cervezas I'm mowing through at the moment.
The trouble and strife is even going to sit down and watch the game with me (and actually concentrate on the game instead of surfing on her ipad 3).
Laptop + NBA.TV + HDMI Cable + T.V + Beer + Spurs = Paradise.
Let's go get this!
Home teams were 6-0 in Stafford games in these playoffs until Boston won Game 3 in Philadelphia.
In fact, in this year's playoffs, these guys are all basically homers. Home teams are 6-1 in Stafford's games, 5-1 in Brothers' games (Denver's Game 5 win was the exception), and 4-1 in Washington's games (Clippers' Game 1 win in Memphis was the exception).
The good news, I guess, is that road teams were 6-6 in Stafford's games last year; only Greg Willard and Ken Mauer, among the top-level officials, were more road friendly in 2011. Stafford was also pretty road friendly in 2010 (road teams were 4-6 that year).
