We need to feed the claw. Can't win this game unless we get him going.

Better 2nd, but still incredibly sloppy. Tony and Ginobili both bring the bass this game.

you know we're playing like ass but we're still in the game. We really need to focus though.

Why aren't we getting Kawhi more touches? Boris must of left his shot in San Antonio.

Other than the 2nd quarter this game has been a diaster.

absolute mess. No one could get going, Danny was on ice the whole game, tony getting knocked around like a midget in a wrestling match, kawhi not in the game at all.

Game 2 we need to shape up, but i believe.

This game had a ton of fail, even Pop... Patty should be the first gaurd off the bench. Danny and Bobo were particularly awful. This was terrible.

Gotta give the Clippers credit though. That's one heck of a team right there. DeAndre Jordan alone changes so many shots much like Ibaka did a few years back. Paul and Blake played like the Superstar that they are. Jamal was awesome off the bench. I don't expect everyone to be shutdown, but we gotta take something away. They got anything they wanted.

Nothing went right for us. From Parker's ankle, to all the missed FTs, and all the in-n-outs on shots in the paint, not getting the lose balls.

Kudos to the Clippers. Hope is still to steal one game in LA.

Outplayed, Clips did well and smashed us really.

Can handle that and refocus but geez the amount of free throws these guys miss is embarrassing.

We also cant afford to have both Green and Manu ice cold in the same game.

Look forward to a much better performance next game.

Clippers deserved that one.

Pretty simple: We shot 36% from the field and 30% from three, Clippers shot 51% from the field and 55% from three.
We also only shot 53% at the FT line which didn't help.

It wasn't just that we were missing shots that we normally make though. From what I saw, we were not moving the ball the way we normally do and people were taking uncomfortable shots out of our normal offensive rhythm. Credit the Clips for making that happen.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lost the first 2 in LA, but the pressure is still on them for Game 2. And Griffin and Paul can have decent games but we have to keep them from going nuts like last night.

What's up, crew?

Well, bummer game. Pretty much what I expected, though: a ton of energy in that building, lots of physicality, and the Spurs playing a bit timid.

This was the game we were almost certainly going to give them. In my opinion, game 2 is the pivot-game for the series. What makes us great is our ability to adjust; how we do so in game 2 will tell us a lot.

Believe in the good guys! Go get it, Spurs!

Pop will adjust for game 2 (Kawhi on CP3, Green on Redick/Crawford and Parker on Barnes is how I'd go until they start going after the mismatch with Parker and Barnes,) we'll see what this Clips team is made of then.

Return to San Antonio Spurs
