    That's why I wanted the Grizz or Lakers in the first round. Only two teams that couldn't exploit this glaring weakness.

    Thing is, they have the players to be a great defensive team (CP3, Jordan, Griffin's athleticism, Foye...). It's all on Del Negro. He left, and the Bulls becomes a defensive juggernaut.

    The Clips need defensive discipline to be able to take the next step.

    WOW @ that shot by CP3. DAmn. Where has he been all series?

    Even with CP3 playing out of his mind and Spurs on tired legs, Spurs are up by 3.

    Clippers relying on circus shots to stay in the game. Spurs getting to the rim at will. Surgical!

    The number of easy baskets the Spurs get from back doors and PnRs is amazing. Clippers lack of fundamentals on D blew the game if they lose.

    You gotta play great D to beat the Spurs. Spurs shooting 54% v. the Clips, and doing whatever they want.

    The Spurs aren't an elite defensive team but they close out on shooters. They will NOT allow the Clippers a decent 3-point attempt

    gotta say the spurs are just veteran, know exactly what to do, rarely see them make mistakes.

    That being said, OKC will beat them because they can actually play good defense while having a good offense

    Jesus Christ the Spurs only have one player playing more than 30 minutes.

    Whereas the Clippers best players are playing over 35 and 40 minutes.

    Yet it looks like the Spurs are pulling out of this one.

    Popovich is amazing, best coach in the league.

    Spurs played it perfectly. Great collapse. They know CP3 isn't as explosive.

    CP3 with two very poor isolations with the game on the line. What happened to his clutchness?
