    whoever it is, we cannot keep turning the ball over like this. either one of them will absolutely embarrass us if we do.

    were already at a big disadvantage with only 2 37 yr old PGs

    If we couldn't guard JJ Barea can y'all imagine what CP3 would do to us? Spurs all day. We match up better with them. DeAndre & Blake would have a field day the way we turn the ball over

    Spurs. I live in New Braunfels and it would make for much more interesting convo at the bars.

    Either way it's gonna be rough.

    how is it close ? chris paul vs jet terry/prigioni ? are you kidding ?

    if you cant slow him down and keep him out of the lane, you cant beat the clippers period

    i love t jones, but griffin would rape us worse than he is the spurs right now

    i have to say the clippers.

    they are weak on the wing and the spurs will hound harden with leonard and green.

    also, the clippers have no bench. we would outscore them in the 2nd and 3rd... the series would be about our starters keeping up with theirs in the 1st and 4th.

    Jet and Prig will probably/hopefully hide on Barnes with Ariza and Brewer guarding CP3. Parker is hurt.

    It really isn't that easy a choice.

    Clippers :
    faster players
    small bench
    Harden does not play well against Redick
    CP3 is a problem.
    Floppers, whiners
    McHale can probably match doc in coaching.
    Crawford turns into MJ against the Rockets.

    Spurs:
    superior coaching
    Slower players
    no one can match up with Dwight
    Ariza can contain Leonard

    i agree, but if the clippers beat the proven champs, that is the kind of win that can propel a team to a title, like when the mavs beat the lakers. their confidence and belief in themselves would skyrocket, making them even tougher.

    but oh well, id rather face one of these two than the warriors. we dont match up well with them at all.

    This. LOL

    Also, the Clippers are annoying as hell, with all the flopping, whining, and cheap shots. I'd rather play the Spurs.

    it's weird because at the beginning of the season, we had the Spurs # and the clips had ours. then at the end it was reverse....

    All I know is I would love to see Barnes try to guard harden

    Clippers.

    Spurs have Kawhi that can guard Harden better than anyone on the Clippers can. Also, Pop would destroy McHale.

    Don't care to see Kawhi guarding Harden. Don't care to see any more FT shooting contests.

    I'll take my chances against the guy who's never made it to the conference finals.

    Spurs.

    Greater glory comes from going up against great opponents. Over the long haul, the Spurs have earned that designation.

    I have to ask myself, "What would mean more to me? Victory over the Spurs or victory over the Clippers?"

    It's an easy answer for me to say, "Victory over the Spurs."

    Chris Paul has never made it past the 2nd round. Clippers.

    Spurs is a wild card. Remember Dallas took them to 7 last year and Spurs still ended up winning the Championship.
