Game Thread: Spurs vs Clippers -- Fri. (12/18) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[Raven]

so so win

[Johnny RIngo]

Would be great if Bucks can steal another win from the Warriors tonight

[EVAY]

I would really like JVG to lose his announcing gig, but no one will hire him as a coach, so we get stuck with him

[Reck]

ty win, but better than a loss tbh

It was a quality win.

Spurs trailed all game long.

Well the warriors beat the clippers by 4 and 7.
We only beat them by 8...

We arnt elite enough to beat them by double digits. We only beat sorry teams..

[SAGirl]

Ugly game, but Spurs win.

[SpurPadre]

Like I just said, happens when the ball is going to other options. Parker and Aldridge were hot.

They were but the fact remains, he struggles against this team and it's not about Barnes guarding him this time. Oh well, we won anyways thanks to TP, LMA and clutch bench play.

came from behind and put them down.
it was messy, but we got the W...satisfying ending for me

He's actually one of my favorites but he was unbearable tonight. Mike Breen must've been embarrassed by the ing.

[Raven]

Van Gundy talking on Kawhi. Dude's a top five MVP candidate.

#2 easily

[TheMulletMan3000]

Malloy up the ass with no lube

[UNT Eagles 2016]

yep, they played ty through 3 quarters especially on defense, no excuses for that against a middling West team at home

[Kawhitstorm]

ty win, but better than a loss tbh

Wouldn't have beaten them last year if Kawhi played like he did tonight, LMA had his best game of the year against legit compe ion.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Gave up >100 on our home court, that's unacceptable... defensive effort was atrocious and we're losing ground on Miami.

[Horry Hipcheck]

At home... we've lost all the ugly ones on the road, though

Ehh. The Pels loss was definitely ugly. A few 3 point losses to mid-table playoff teams isn't the worst thing. Obviously the Spurs can do better, but all things considered holding on to a stellar defense and sitting at 23-5 is pretty great all things considered. Come February they should be rolling.

ing refs forcing their way to keep this game close tbh. Dirty Vegas gamblers of .

The Warriors had the same problem with the Clips when they played them at home this year.The clips are a team that can hang with the best for 3 quarters but it's the 4th quarter where they fall apart.

[Kawhitstorm]

They were but the fact remains, he struggles against this team and it's not about Barnes guarding him this time. Oh well, we won anyways thanks to TP, LMA and clutch bench play.

The Clippers tend to double him & Blake can stay w/ him when they switch.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Wouldn't have beaten them last year if Kawhi played like he did tonight, LMA had his best game of the year against legit compe ion.

yep, Kawhi definitely the bed tonight like he did for 6 out of 7 games against them in the playoffs. Leonard just doesn't step up for us when it counts and it's a trend.


MVParker did, though... Aldridge wasn't bad, either.

[ceperez]

Parker saved the Spurs.

[SpurPadre]

After the Dubs and a healthy Cavs, this team scares me more than any other team.

[Trill Clinton]

Fucc the clippers. Go spurs go!!!

yeah but how far are we going to be behind the Dubs by then. Spurs are only 2-31 (6%) at winning championships when we don't have the #1 OVERALL seed, while we're 3-0 (100%) at winning championships when we do get that.

Clippers a lot of a bad matchup tbh. Spurs wet the bed everytime.
