13-7 start for the Clippers. Blake has 3 rebounds and Paul is looking for his shot early.

DJ is not Kevin Love or Wes Unseld. I hate his "outlet passes." He always ends up turning it over.

Yea, not a fan of those DJ random bad outlet pass per game. Good to see a good start

It's always a bullet pass when it doesn't need to be.

33-11 Clippers at the end of 1.

Blake has 14 and 5 and Paul already has 7 assists. We have 15 rebounds to their 7 and only 3 turnovers so far. This is more like it.

Can't believe Blake brought out the post up fadeaway bank shot, good to see.

2 quick fouls on K-Mart.

How many times has Butler traveled this season?

Post #13 » by **og15** » Sat May 19, 2012 8:17 pm

A lot more than you would expect from a guy at this stage in his career

He has to be amongst the league leaders. It's ridiculous.

The officials are scared of Popovich. I knew when Popovich complained that he thought a foul should have been on Evans as soon as they went the other way a foul was called on Evans.

They're trying to get the Spurs back into the game with these dumb calls they're making.

In that instance, DJ should just go stand out of bounce or something.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Sat May 19, 2012 8:34 pm

The refs are wearing the same colors as the Spurs. Just saying....

Post #18 » by **og15** » Sat May 19, 2012 8:37 pm

Should have gotten the FT's for DJ, and that foul was on Foye if anyone, not Paul, but it isn't critical, so that's okay

SMH.

If that was called on Chris Paul, that was the phoniest thing I've ever seen.

53-43 Clippers at the half. The Spurs have slowly chipped away the lead, but we still have a lead and that's what you want going into the half. Paul needs to have a few shots fall in to get him going, but I'm glad to see Blake looking more like himself and for Mo & Young knock down a few. The rebounding gap has shrunk and that is something that we're going to have to work on in the 2nd half. When the Spurs are trying to come from behind, we can't give them extra opportunities to score.
