Well, if I had told you at halftime that Chris Paul had not made a field goal and DeAndre Jordan was their leading scorer you probably call it it sheets on the Clippers season. Not the case. Instead of letting a 9 point deficit halfway through the 2nd quarter turn into much, much worse the Clippers were able to hold their ground and go into the break knotted at 51. Chris Paul became Chris Paul in the second half. Blake started showing why there isn't a soul on the Spurs roster that can guard him. The Clippers were able to rebound from what could have been will shattering loss in game 5. In many ways the hardest game of the series to win may have been the one that the Clippers just won. Down 3-2 following a last second loss at home. Heading back to one of the toughest arenas in the league to play. A chance for the defending champions to close them out.  Safe to say the Clippers didn't just beat the Spurs yesterday, but they also beat the odds.

The most impressive part of yesterday's win? The fact that they didn't fold down the stretch. Despite suffering what likely is a season ending injury to one of their only competent bench players, Big Baby Davis. Despite Boris fucking Diaw's fat ass making every low percentage shot he threw up. Despite Marco Bellinelli turning into Drazen Petrovic. The Clippers never looked like they were overwhelmed. That, more so then actually winning, is a reason for optimism heading into game 7. Let's be honest. The Clippers could very easily won 5 of the 6 games played in this series. Mental mistakes down the stretch have done them in. And there were opportunities for those very same mental mistakes in the closing minutes of game 6. The difference was the Clippers stayed calm. They got stops. They executed when they needed to. They continued to play the brand of basketball that made them a 3 seed in the first place. It's certainly not going to be easy to beat a team with the experience the Spurs have in game 7, but contending for a championship isn't supposed to be easy. With the way things have unfolded throughout the series, it's only right this is going to a deciding game in LA. Let's hope the strong minded team from games 4 and 6 shows up, instead of the mental midgets from games 2 and 5. We are...
