Spurs:

- We have Gregg Popovich

- Spurs basketball, team chemistry, veteran leadership

Defensive Matchups:

- KAWHI WILL GUARD CURRY
- Waiters/Ginobli/Allen will guard Harden
- Parker will guard Iguodala
- Thompson/Diaw/Duncan/Kaman will rotate on the Gasol brothers

- Benches: Mills, Ginobli, Allen, Diaw, Kaman vs Felton, Meeks, Barnes, Haslem, Anderson

- Offensively we'll attack Harden every chance we get

- Our 4th Quarter lineup: Parker, Ginobli, Kawhi, Diaw and Duncan. They won't be tired due to our loaded bench. Curry, Harden, Pau and Marc will all have to play 40 minutes to not let our bench make it a close game, which means they'll all be tired come 4th quarter.

I like the Spurs in 7.

Clippers have TERRIBLE defensive guards, and I can't see Tony Parker not taking advantage of that. Their bench is deeper, which is so important at this point in the playoffs. Great series

[goober]

Yeah that horrid defensive back court is gonna lose it for the Clippers. Spurs in 6

[damecurry]

Heh, I tried to convince DN he should trade me steph for conley+value as it fit better with harden....

Clippers in 7. Homecourt advantage might help, I think they've got enough of a bench to scrape through moments when curry/harden/gasols aren't on-court and I just don't see the scoring from SAS to keep up.

[Zion Wembanyama]

SAS (4-3) LAC

[HornetJail]

Clippers in 7 very hard-fought games.

[Hawk Eye]

Clippers win game 7 on their home court and get over the hump. The star power is just to much for the spurs to overcome.

[parsnips33]

Clippers (4-3) Spurs

[Mykhyn]

Clippers in 7

Hard to beat such a good big 5.

[Ralnor]

Clippers in 6 games.

[Note30]

Clips in 5

[CBFAlex]

Clippers in 5 dont see it as much of a contest, Ray allen ginobili and duncan another year older, Obviously Leonard the leader now and I love Waiters but I think the gasols would dominate Duncan and TT, Even though Iggy not an elite scorer I think he would step it up with such a smal defender on him, Niether Waiters, Ginobili or Allen can do anything to stop Harden

[skorff26]

Spurs more balanced and rounded take it in 6

Clippers write:
This will be a close series and that is why home court advantage is so huge.

Steph & Harden are gamblers on defense but that's why I have excellent rim protecters in Marc Gasol & Birdman. I also was sure to acquire Iggy & Matt Barnes to guard the best wings on the floor.

Doc Rivers: Perfect Head Coach for this roster. Easily Top 5 in the entire league. Championship caliber with experience managing multiple superstars.

Chemistry: Curry & Iggy compliment each other in Golden State. Curry & Harden are the starting backcourt for team USA. The Gasol's are obviously brothers who have played together their entire lives. Haslem & Birdman were Miami's defensive Bigs.

Balance: Offensive juggernauts Steph Curry, James Harden, Pau Gasol, & even Jodie Meeks(15ppg) packaged with Defensive studs Andre Iguodala, Matt Barnes, the Birdman, & DPOY Marc Gasol. All-star starters with a very legit & supportive

I do believe that Clippers have won this one 8 to 4.
