---------------------------------

Clippers showed some heart and toughness winning a Game 7 on the road in Memphis today. But this round is when the fantasy ride ends. San Antonio is the monkey on Chris Paul's back. Its the team that ended his memorable playoff run with the Hornets in '08 and its the team that usually gives him problems. I don't think this series will be any different. San Anton will dispose of the Clipps in 5 games. I expect Tony Parker to have another huge series this round.

[Kevin Greene]

Spurs in 6.

Unless......the long break has messed with the Spur's chi and a suddenly confident Clipper bunch shows no fear.

[Kakarot]

Chris Paul finally gets by San Antonio.

Clips in 6

[CarolinaPride5]

Spurs in 7. CP3 will be the reason this series goes 7, but San Antonio is such a deep and great coached team LA won't be able to knock em' out.

Parker vs CP3 is going to be something else! :o

[King Taharqa]

Even though Blake Griffin looks good tonight, Spurs got Lob City in the headlock right now. Up by 10 in the 3rd and seeming to get whatever they want. Cp3 hasnt played great so far against this Spurs D, we'll see what he does in the 4th. 11 rebounds and 5 assists for the Frenchie Boris Diaw. I remember Bobcat fans TRASHING this guy just yesterday. Now he has a chance to win a chip in Texas.

[thatlookseasy]

fuging frenchman. He's got 5 offensive rebounds through 3 quarters, I havent seen this kind of hustle from Boris since the buffet line at Golden Corral

It is weird watching Capt Jack and Diaw playing for the same team in the playoffs. The bobcats would have had quite a team if we could have surrounded those guys with Parker Ginobli and Duncan

[King Taharqa]

Spurs win Game 1.

[CarolinaPride5]

Spurs handle the Clippers once again beating them 105-88 to go up 2-0. This Spurs team is playin out of there mind right now... And who would've thought Tony Parker would make Chris Paul look so bad?

[Panthers128]

Boris Diaw... He only does everything.

Spurs are 26-2 since Diaw arrived. The true MVP.

[Kevin Greene]

Spurs yet to be challenged these Playoffs.

Maybe Lob City can make them work a little in LA.

[King Taharqa]

After being down 24 points in the 2nd quarter. Spurs rally back and beat the Clips by 10 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Spurs look invincible right now and on the cusp of their 5th NBA title.

[Kakarot]

I know Chris Paul is hurt, but damn he's looked bad this series. San Antonio continues to haunt him

[thatlookseasy]

How did the Spurs improve so much since last year? They lost in the first round and looked old and washed up, now they are the hottest team in the NBA. The lockout looks like it did wonders for Duncan and Parker
