The Clippers are winning this series. Despite the loss in Game 2, there's no way Chris Paul is letting this team bow out early again. It took a heroic effort from Tim Duncan to grind out a victory in Game 2. But that's not sustainable - not against this front court of Jordan and Griffin. Kawhi Leonard has put up a good stat line but it doesn't tell the whole story. Barnes has made it very tough for him and is definitely frustrating him. With Parker m.i.a. and Ginobili not playing like the Ginobili of old, the Spurs need Leonard to dominate this series and I don't see that happening.
Game 3 is typically the pivotal game in these big series. Look for the Clippers to come out strong Friday night. San Antonio will make their runs like they always do but the Clips will come up with the big shots when they need them. This is Chris Paul's game. They will follow his lead.
If LAC loses then it's a no-brainer martingale in Game 4. But I'm not too worried about that.
