Series Thread: LA Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs

[Hornsstampede2.0]

SPURS depth advantage is absurd

Manu+Timmy+Parker = 8 points
Spurs still win by 30 thanks to depth when the Big 3 score 8!!

The diffrence in bench and depth might be the most lopsided in years for a playoff series.

CLIPPERS can still win. They have an amazing top 6 players.
But, they are playing 6 versus 12 every game in depth.

Their starters have to dominate by +20 every night to win games.

No offense but it is kinda disrespectful to have Manu in the big 3 over Leonard. Leonard IMO clearly replaced Manu as a part of the Spurs big 3 and he dropped a career high 32 tonight

The Big 3 has been together for so long, it will always be those guys to me.
Leonard can be the Neil Young to Crosy, Stills, and Nash.

Manu will go into the Hall of Fame with Parker and Duncan

My point was more about the Spurs depth.

I cannot remember a time when the Spurs "traditional Big 3" combined for 12 pts in a playoff game and won by 30.

Well here is the thing: Popovich saw the handwriting on the wall and brought in new players and developed them to replace the AGING THREE. When you consider that the Big three also the aged three can still post up some nice numbers, I don't think there is any way in hell, the Clippers can beat this championship team that has went to the finals two years in a row and beat the Miami Heat. That is not a small feat by any means

I watched the Washington game first and then this. All I could think was how GM Doc decided it was better to go after Spencer Hawes than Paul Pierce.

Solid start for the Clippers

 

[bksballer89]
