I don't know. Clipers play fast paced and seem to do it better and their depth always kills us. I think it's a matchup we have no shot at winning. I actually think we have a better shot at the spurs.

OKC is going to miss Harden in the playoffs if they go up against the Spurs again this season. Harden was the difference maker last year. He was the big playmaker late in the games. Without Harden, I think Spurs will beat OKC this year.
Spurs would be my second choice of who to play behind Clips. Spurs execute SO well, they just pick you apart. The Clips looked bad after the first Q when the Rox played them last week. If Rox had healthy Harden last week I feel Rox win that game.
I just tuned in. Is CP3 injured? Why is he getting mauled so badly while not returning the favor at least a little on the other end?
He isn't hurt. Parker is just absolutely destroying him, it's pretty embarrassing right now. 31/7 for Parker, 6/2 for Paul. Granted, the entire Spurs team deserve credit, but Paul just cannot do anything against Parker.
Interesting. I wouldn't read too much into this one game. The Spurs were up over 25 at OKC about this same time of the season last year. It was pretty ugly. The Thunder ended up making a run and closed to within 4 at about the 4:00 minute mark before running out of gas. They ended up beating the Spurs in the playoffs and making the Finals. Clippers could do the same thing.
People are crazy if they think this is the same Spurs team as last season. This team is MUCH better. If they stay healthy the Spurs will be in the finals this season.
no this spurs team is just as good as last years team. Spurs were actually up 2-0 in that series vs OKC. If it wasnt for harden, the Spurs would have been to the finals.
No, a friend of mine watched the first five minutes before i told him, it will be no contest because Parker tends to own Paul, and that will be that. That's basically why they got swept by the spurs last year, Parker outplayed him for the most part.
Wow pretty knee-jerk. He's been a straight badass most of the year and especially when he came back from All-Star break a few weeks ago. He looked awesome in the All-Star game too.
The biggest difference is that this year's Spurs team is really good defensively. Otherwise, yeah, the Spurs were really good last year as well.
