Biggest bet of the playoffs thus far. Spurs will win this game pretty easily. I rewatched game 6 and that was one awful performance. I expect the spurs to come out a bit relaxed in that game and then just try and sneak away in the 4th. That was what they did but Cp3 took over and absolutely dominated the entire 2nd half. The key to the Clippers is Chris Paul. If you can slow him down somewhat with Leonard and Green tonight, there is no chance the Clippers can win. No one on that team is good enough to get their shot consistently except Griffin. And Griffin doesn't create plays for others. His assists numbers are pretty Ludacris because they all either come from lobs to Deandre (which are initially set up by Paul drawing the defense) and from handoff plays to JJ redick. Barnes and Reddick will get shut down tonight and hack-a-Jordan will be in full effect.
The game plan is pretty simple for the Spurs. Move the ball. WHen the Spurs have moved the ball in this series, and using Diaw as the 4, the Clippers have really struggled to defend the Spurs penetration. That will be the case again tonight. These guys like Danny Green and Bellinelli and Ginobli and Mills will all be hot from 3. I envision a big game from Kawai Leonard. He will absolutely make Matt Barnes his bitch tonight and force Rivers to play Crawford and Reddick more together which is an even bigger mismatch for Leonard. Expect to see him on Chris Paul during important moments in this game.
Not gonna break it down too much. These are my main thoughts.
