Savvy. I was thinking the same thing when I was reading this story. Looks like the writer got info from family n friends who actually watched the game. Blair on Griffin. What about Diaw?

I must have missed the part where Duncan was hiding from Griffin and the Spurs had no answer for Griffin on the block, lmao.

I’m hoping for a good showing and the chance to steal one in San antone, give CP & BG some rest and we do have a chance to prevail despite the doomsday merchants & chicken little analysts.

Before you preview a series, would be helpful to have actually watched one of the teams in the series play.

Diaw took Blair’s starting gig before the season was even over. And you made this statement on the heels of saying Richard Jefferson’s 3-point shooting was a key for the Spurs in the first round against the Jazz.

It’s pretty clear you aren’t qualified to pontificate on the Spurs.

jimsjam33 – The key to this series is not simply Ginobli. It’s the entire Spurs bench. Not only are they not worse than the starting five, some would argue that they’re actually better. Things look to be goin in the Spurs’ direction. They’ve gotten rest, whereas the Clips are emotionally and physically spent (after a downright fantastic, phenomenal series, I might add). The Clips’ advantages are overshadowed by the aftermath of the Grizz, and bruises simply don’t go away overnight. The Clips will fight, and fight hard. But this is a Spurs team looking to make a statement. They, like the Celtics, may be “old.” But they are not yet TOO old.

Spurs in 5.

You forgot to mention the Clippers , in one of those two losses , lost in overtime when they actually held the lead in regulation with five seconds to go . The other loss in a three back to back to back situation . The Clippers match up well with the Spurs and you are right , Ginobili is the key . If the three’s aren’t raining the Spurs will lose in five . The Clippers big men will hold Duncan and Blair so it comes down to CP 3 and Parker .
If Griffin is healthy he goes wild and the Clips win . If Ginobili , Bonner , Leonard and the Spurs core of three point shooters is hot it’s over. This won’t be a sweep for either team and the Clippers displayed some meaness and toughness against Memphis ( un-seen during the course of the regular season .) Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans have no equals off the bench . Clippers advantage . Eric Bledsole is the X-factor . If he distrupts the Spurs offense when Parker is out …advantage Clippers with bench points . Mo Williams , Randy Foye , and Eric Young are instant offense .
The Spurs have Pop and a solid system . This should be a very intertaining series . It won’t be a cakewalk .
