    I think it's more a matter of effort. Spurs don't really care.

    They're shooting 54%. 22 assists on 30 baskets. No, they're very sharp.

    The Clippers are just playing desperate. And CP3 is finally being CP3.

    maybe in the first two quarters...but third quarter was very competitive and CP3 finally came alive. Im sure Spurs will back to their old selves in game 5.

    Then its probably Spurs not defending as well. Blake and CP3 got lot of baskets in the third. Although you could attribute that mostly to CP3 finally being aggressive.

    The Spurs aren't elite defensively, and the Clips have shot a good % v. this team. Their problem is all on CP3. CP3 has looked like a scrub the first 3 games.

    This CP3 plays and every game would be down to the wire.

    This is why a think a team with superstars + great D can beat this Spurs team. A CP3 at the top of his game would have this series 2-2 by now.

    The Spurs have built their defense to nuetralize CP3 and let everyone else beat them.

    And CP3 hasn't faced that his whole career? And the Clips' D isn't good enough to neutralize anybody. But Clips should have easily won game 3 if CP3 showed up at all. And they should be going for 2-2 tonight rather than 3-1.

    And Bledsoe has a VERY bright future. He's not going to back up CP3 for long.

    damn. having two small guys running around really *****s the Spurs up?

    Bledsoe blowing up in the playoffs - best way for a new player to get recognition

    Even though they will still probably lose, at least the Clippers home crowd will get their money's worth tonight.

    Bledsoe for Kevin Martin straight up anyone. I'm seeing a future allstar.

    Teams gotta attack the Spurs defensively. They were an average defensive team all season, allowing teams to shoot 46%. You can't settle for jumpers. CP3/Bledsoe are just attacking constantly.

    The clips can't shut the Spurs' offense, so you gotta score to keep up and pray CP3 delivers in the clutch.

    How stupid are you? Read the post again. If they won game 3, they would be going for a 2-2 tie. But they didn't, so they're going for 3-1.

    I'm going to have you back on ignore b/c of your pure stupidity.

    It's not. If this CP3 showed up, Clips would have won game 3. And tonight they would be going for 2-2 tie rather than 3-1.

    Key words: "going for" 3-1, which means they're down 3-0 right now.

    Man this Clips' D is terrible with its rotations. When the Spurs 3pt shooter shoots, no one is in the damn vicinity to even close out. Just terrible.
