Your argument for not liking the Spurs is stupid. The fact that they win rings without that many 'superstars' is a credit to how well run they are. They find players who will work in their system who've largely been overlooked by other teams.

When Parker and Ginobili were in their prime they were pretty close to superstars.

Warriors 3-1 vs Clippers this season.

Game 1: Clips Loss
Bogut-Draymond 30pts, 19reb, 10 asst
Blake-DJ 31 pts, 14 reb, 2 asst
Curry shot 50% 28 pts, 6reb, 7 asst
Warriors +9 rebounding

Game 2: Clips Win
Speights-Draymond 21pts, 8reb, 3 asst
Blake-DJ 32pts, 27reb, 6 asst
Curry shot 42% 14pts, 9reb, 7 asst
Warriors -6 rebounding

Game 3: Clips Loss
Bogut-Draymond 25pts, 7reb, 6 asst
BigBaby-DJ 14pts, 21reb, 1 asst
Curry shot 33% 12pts, 1reb, 4 asst
Warriors -2 rebounding

Game 4: Clips Loss
Bogut-Lee 23pts, 16reb, 6 asst
Blake-DJ 45pts, 27reb, 5 asst
Curry shot 53% 27pts, 1reb, 4 asst
Warriors +3 rebounding

It's not the front court play that will determine the series, I predict it's the bench play.

Dude, that's one play. What, exactly, is your point?

Plus, I could sense something was wrong when they couldn't beat the Pelicans even though they were obviously trying their hardest. But I didn't expect them to bow out in the first round to a front running, all-sizzle-no-steak team like the clippers.

I knew father time was eventually going to end our run, but I was expecting SA to go out in a bit more of a blaze of glory.

Gonna be the most interesting summer the Spurs have had in years. Duncan could stay or go. He said he wants to play as long as he feels he can contribute. He's still an above average big in the league, so I think there's a chance he stays. I'm pretty sure Manu will retire though. I love him and he is a fan favorite, but to be honest, I've felt like he's been more of a liability on the court for the past five years.

A lot of decisions to be made!


Yup, it was looking like they would be a 3 seed and then they feel to 6 and out of the first round which is very disappointing.

Clippers should beat the Rockets in 5 games since they have the new and improved CP3 and home court advantage.

I expect Lebron to be sad again because the Cavs are not better than the Clippers or Warriors.

I don't see any NBA team winning a game in Golden State in the playoffs which is why they are easily the 2015 NBA Champions.

They actually fell to 6. The Clippers were 3, so the Spurs had to be 6. I know you aren't that bright, but the math isn't that complicated.

I thought the Rockets were the 2 seed (wasn't Dallas 7th??)
