[Western Conference Playoffs - 1st round] (3)LA Clippers vs. (6)San Antonio

Its crazy how many easy looks SA gets. The ball moves faster than their defense. Meanwhile clips hold on to that ball too long.

 

was there a call on that play?

 

Matt Barnes is a horrific basketball player.

 

He literally cost the Clippers game 2. Rivers needs to be a coach and sit his ass down.

 

Foul on Duncan

 

Strange, I was going to say the Clips are moving the ball well this game and playing with a lot of energy. When you have a great PG, you tend to let him control the ball more,,,and they are passing well besides that. In the first 4 titles, Pops had Parker and Ginobody dominate they ball, too.

Clips are shooting 51%% with more assists; SAS 41%.

You Spurs fans are so special. No matter what you are seeing, you can always turn it into, Pops has has the opponents right where he wants them.

A weaknesses of passing offenses like the Kings of Adelman, is a good defense can dictate who shoots. Parker shooting 3 threes at 0-3, and Kawhi 0-3 at 3 as well, is probably not by Pops' design. They are not the 3pt shooters for this team

But go ahead and say Pops has them right where he wants them

 

damn I hate Spurs fans

 

Kawhi has some great decision making. It's been fun watching his offensive evolution

 

Even tho SA is a better team, I want them to go thought, I think the Rockets have a better chance against them. I really don´t like Harden chasing Redick around, plus they match our athleticism inside.

I know we looked terrible against SA late in the season, but I like our athleticism inside against SA, I see Ariza doing a good job against Kawhi, plus I think Parker is banged up, he would not be as terrible of a matchup as CP3 would.

Having said that I want game 7 quadruple OT.

 

Harden will have to chase Green around screens and such. Plus Green is a much better defender than Reddick and Pops could just rotate Leonard and Green on him all game. Parker is banged up but Spurs have more depth at PG than the Clippers who just have Paul and...Austin Rivers. Mills is balling out and Corey Joseph has killed us in the past. I just hope this series goes 7 with a few overtimes.

 

Just feels like the Clippers are holding on for dear life while the Spurs are happily biding their time before they take control

 

Chris Floppacopter.

 

That's just how you feel. How do you call Paul dominating "holding on for dear life." On the contrary, the only thing preventing a bigger lead is SAS's scrambling for much more offensive rebounds.

 

As long as they (spurs) do it in 7 games maybe a couple of double over time games... I'll be happy.

 

It is such a wonder that the refs still fall for Paul's flops. They should be forced to study Chris Paul's films just to learn all the flopping moves he uses.

Same goes for Ginobili, BTW.

 

I do not want to play the Spurs..they looked scary as heck with their passing and effective defense

 

You cant go wrong/right, both are extremely difficult, I just think reddick has a lot more plays drawn for him then Green, didn´t actually think who plays better D but regardless your point is valid.

As for PG depth, I just think that regardless of it, the fact that CP3 is ball dominant makes the mismatch for us even worse, because who do you put on him? Nick Johnson? I think we would do a lot better against SA PG rotation.

As for Harden, I think that against teams that can trow someone like Kawhi, coach has to come up with ways to help him out, instead of leaving him in an island playing hero ball against an elite defender.

I actually think that if LAC wins this game they win the series in 7.

 

Pop must be killing himself for letting a scrub go off.

 

Keep it up Austin Rivers

 

If there was a prop bet on a random 15-point Austin Rivers outburst winning this game for the Clips, you could have made a lot of money. Those are some long odds.
