Spurs Go 8-0, Sweep the Clippers and Advance to Western Conference Finals

The San Antonio Spurs continue to look like the most complete team in these 2012 NBA Playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers were no exception.

The Big 3 for the Spurs Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili are the usual suspects but the bench play combined for 43 points to complete the sweep 102-99 in Staples Center.

The supporting cast of Danny Green, Gary Neal, rookie Kawhi Leonard, and Boris Diaw were huge with their ability to spread the floor, guard multiple positions, three point shooting, and versatility on defense.

The Los Angeles Clippers played valiantly led by Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and Eric Bledsoe, but were clearly outplayed and out-coached that led to the four game sweep.

The developing play of Leonard and Green will be instrumental in the next round trying to defend either Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Kevin Durant (yes, definitely foreshadowing) in advancing to the NBA Finals.

For now outlook for this championship contending team looks strong.

This why you got to love the NBA Playoffs. Competitive spirits come out between Wade and Granger.

Prospect Central! Who GM’s should pay attention to in the 2012 NBA Draft

NBA General Managers have a tough assignment in drafting gems that can lead to a franchise player or a piece missing to a championship in past non-star draft years.

However, 2012 is anything but that.

This year’s draft class that includes national names such as Anthony Davis, Jared Sullinger, Perry Jones III, Harrison Barnes and Jeremy Lamb is flooded with a deep and talented draft pool.

Though there are many headline names in this draft, I’m going to give the two top names at each position and two sleeper picks that GMs should feel lucky if they fell on their lap if they’re still on the board.
