This is the best series of round 1 on paper and these are also the 2 hottest teams in basketball for the last month at least. Clippers enter this series winning 14 of 15 and the Spurs enter this series winning 14 of 16.

Shame that a gang of thugs beat a class act like the Spurs. Unusual to see the Spurs gag like that but they have themselves to blame for losing this series when they had it in the bag.

Rivers is a quality coach. I think the only player that I hate more than Paul and Griffin though is Lebron James. Those two guys are scum.

The one game pop should've sent D. Jordan to the line 40 times was tonight.

stats show D. Jordan was 3-9 on free throws.


The clippers made the most threes they've ever made in a playoff game in franchise history.
Paul was making everything and had a rhythm
Griffin was making everything and hitting the most free throws he's ever made.

The one night they should've sent D. Jordan to the line most of the game was tonight.

I personally don't like Griffin or Paul, but I wouldn't call them a gang of thugs either. Let's not forget that Griffin has had more than his share of being hammered and beat up and The Spurs have had a few players like Horry and Manu who used hit players below the belt with their knees. I was surprised to see the Clippers win it, but they are younger, stronger and Healthier and the Spurs have been to the finals two years straight. It's tough to keep that up

The Spurs cast of players is not as strong as last year. Everyone is a year older and a year slower but jeez I despise the Clippers..

The Spurs were the better team, but pop did a poor job coaching this series. The timing on when he'd send D. Jordan to the line was brutal for him all series. That was the difference in the series.

The Spurs have the better players and best player on the floor throughout the series.


You just don't send D. Jordan to the line when you're doing great and have a rhythm where you're already pushing the lead out. pop did this in game 1, game 4, and game 6.
They had big leads in all these games (8 point lead is big in this series) Yet they would lose the lead and lose the game.


But you maybe do try it when every clipper is hitting every shot all over the place and the clippers are shooting 53% and 54% on threes.

The score says the Clippers was the better team by two points. The Clippers were the better team this year. Poopovich crapped in his pants this year

Did you watch the game? Doc took DJ out as soon as Pop started fouling

I watched the game. Pop was soft in this game because it was in LA and he really likes Doc as a coach. He threw multiple games in this series and game 7 was one of them.

34 minutes is WAY too much for D Jordan.

They should've sent him to the line every time he was on the floor and if Doc pulls him after that, which he didn't, but if he was, then you make sure D. Jordan only plays about 15 minutes the entire game so he can't grab 14 rebounds or play any defense.

The Spurs have the better players. Look at Duncan. Do the Clippers have someone that is "everytime" on both offense and defense.

that should be Duncan's nickname "Everytime".

The Spurs go about 10 deep with players

The Clippers about 8.

The scores don't show it though - the Scores shows that the game was straight up even until until the last shot. I hear this all of the time about teams, but if you lost by two points, then you was not the best team.

Do you know the definition of thug? Not one player is a thug on the clippers. Gotta love when idiots think being a physical basketball player make you some thug

I agree on this one, I thought that was a stupid thing to say considering how much Griffin gets hammered
