What are your predictions? Are there any injury/player availability updates?

No Kawhi = little chance

I think we lose.

No Kawhi, no problem so far as the Clips blitz the Spurs 17-3 to start! 3 of 3 from deep so far.

But Spurs very quickly respond with an 8-zip run. Good timeout.

Garland now from waaaaaaay downtown, now again calls bingo!

Clips with an excellent first Q, up 37-29 despite allowing that unfortunate 3 point possession at the end.

That was awful as the Clippers give up 4 offensive rebounds in one possession, which ends up being an and-1.

It's pretty maddening that the Clippers are unable to take full advantage of Spurs going 1 of 15 from deep, and now bad pass by Mathurin on the fastbreak after getting another stop. 10 offensive rebounds given up are killers. Spurs finally hit their second 3, and it's tied at 37.

That was a BS call- Castle bulls into Mathurin and they give him an and 1. FT is missed but they allow Castle to get his own miss and lay it home SMH

Now another BS call on a clean block by Lopez as Castle tried to posterize him. Clips needed to use a challenge to overturn.

Clips are playing panicky- these turnovers on fastbreaks are just killers. Need to just calm down, and execute.

Another suspect call as Carter Bryant just runs Collins over, and it's a block on Collins of course right? Now JC gets a tech from the bench.

Wemby turns his ankle on a teammates foot, and Dunn drills the bingo. Cuts it to 11.

Clippers got crushed 37-15 in the second Q, down 66-52 at the half. Might want to try Jackson and Lopez together to see if it helps stop the Spurs offensive rebounding onslaught.

Kobe Sanders, Cam Christie and Jordan Miller have really infused life to the Clips. 10 point game after that steal and the Mathurin layup!

Clippers have cut the 24 point SA lead to 10 after 3 as Miller with another end of the Q bucket, this time with the finger roll. What a job by this unit.

Spurs forced to all another timeout as Garland with yet another good pass, down to 6!

Clippers fade after that timeout as the Spurs drill clutch shots. Garland with bingo on the run, and 1, can cut it to 9 with the FT. But only 1:47 to go.

Now Garland the quick strike bingo, 4 point game with 38 seconds to go!

OMG that effing ref (#64) is betting on the Spurs to win or what? Castle clamps on Sanders arm, then kicks the ball away he calls a foul on the Clippers. Even after challenge they keep the foul. Ridiculous.

Valiant effort by the Clippers without Kawhi, especially the last 16 minutes. Credit the energy provided by Miller, Sanders, Jackson, Christie, Mathurin and Garland to turn around what could've been an ugly beatdown. All those awful calls- you add them up and that could be the difference in the game. Also couldn't overcome all those offensive rebounds by the Spurs, and too many unforced errors on fast breaks.

We can't win without Leonard. We would have spanked them. I still love the team.
