Spurs vs. Clippers - 2012 NBA Playoffs

I can't decide if Pop is the best actual coach ever (by actual, meaning more than just a "zen-master"), or if he's just JVG blessed with 3 of the smartest most efficient and capable offensive players you'll find? I guess somewhere in between.

That said, good teams make any player into solid rotational players. Name a championship squad or finals squad and you can always find a couple of guys who went on to be marginalized later in their careers with different teams.

 

Good win. 3 more to go.

 

Just a while ago, GEORGE HILL was getting playing time over Tony Parker.

Popovich is an amazing coach.

 

LOOOOL. This is what happens when you play a team that actually runs plays and can shoot. The Grizzlies were just a worse version of the Clippers. The Spurs are playing a whole different ballgame. It's going to be tough to get more than a win or two in this series.

 

Pretty sure the Clippers didn't flop once tonight. Stop being such a sheep.

 

Eric Bledsoe is showing that he has the potential to be a special young player in the NBA. His defense can be suffocating.

Deandre Jordan played better even though i still think he's a terrible fit with Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin isn't good enough of an offensive player to be paired with a limited but athletic defensive center. Jordan would be a much better fit playing alongside a pick n pop PF like Kevin Love or LaMarcus Aldridge...

 

Spurs in four...

 

Best team in the NBA right now, the Thunder-Spurs series will be hella exciting.

 

Clips will fight hard and even if they lose this series I'm so proud of these guys. Come on Clippers - beat the f'n spurs.

 

I guess the Spurs are for real.

 

San Antonio deserves championship. I hope Houston is next.

 

i threw up looking at your first sentence

 

Worse version? I don't see how the two styles are related at all.

 

and why did so many here wanted

DeAndre Jordan?

 

Deserve or not, I don't see them losing.

 

The Spurms are just ridiculous. They are such a well oiled machine. They will never, ever beat themselves. They make the Clips look like the Washington Generals most of the time. Cagey vets, a great coaching staff, perfectly fitting role players that accept their roles.

I'm pretty sure I hate them.

 

young, athletic, and defensive-minded 7fter without injury problems. He's on the wrong team for development.

 

Boy Popovich vs Vinny Del Negro...wonder who wins that battle...

 

It looks so easy with the Spurs.

 

I think your assessment is spot on but I disagree with your conclusion.

I'm a Rockets fan and I despise the Jazz/Mavs/Lakers but the Spurs I've always admired as a franchise. They're even less boring to watch than they used to be.
