    Going on nearly 3 months; talk about home court. :eek:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Here's another fun fact: The Clippers were the last team to outscore the Spurs in regulation at the AT&amp;T Center. That was on Jan. 31.</p>&mdash; Jeff McDonald (@JMcDonald_SAEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/592024011162300416">April 25, 2015</a></blockquote>

    They did have an OT loss to Cleveland

    San Antonio is just a bunch of nice guys that play really well together. I don't know how many times Ive seen them help their opponents up off the court. The probably average the most opponent help-ups in the league.

    I normally hate teams like the Spurs (too much success) but I
    cant help but like them. Not even begrudgingly.

    I'm with JVG the Clippers starters are expanding a lot of energy in the opening minutes. Can they keep it up is the question.

    Man CP3 is like a different person on the court. He is so ruthless.

    Jamal Crawford has been atrocious this series, but if he plays us, he goes for 25+ a night easy

    The Clippers have got to come up with those loose balls. They're getting outhustled by the Spurs.

    Sad thing about it is it won't even be because of bad defense. He'll just hit every single shot.

    It will be interesting to see the energy level of the Clippers in the 2nd half.

    Their bench hasn't completely sucked today. Another factor will be the old ass Spurs and how much energy they have with the quick turnaround from Game 3.

    SAS have a 9 game home winning streat; 10 counting playoffs. that's not a big deal. By comparison, GSWs have a 20 game winning streak. And if you don't count OTs, like that tweet, they have a 40 game streak going with no one "outscoring them in regulation."

    Are you saying they are expending too much injury in a crucial playoff game?

    the only bad thing about playing all out is if you aren't resting the players and going too long with the starters.
