The San Antonio Spurs are on a 16-game winning streak when you combine the regular season and beginning of this postseason. The Spurs have played six games thus far in the postseason; the Clippers have already played nine games. The Spurs lead the Clippers 2-0 in their Western Conference Semi Finals, but will the Clippers going home to Los Angeles shift the series in a new direction? Or will the Spurs, who have an excellent road record, disallow the Hollywood atmosphere to affect them, as they could be on their way to another sweep?

Chris Paul says it's not the sore groin or the strained hip flexor, but even if it was, he wouldn't admit it.
But hurt or healthy, Chris Paul is doing some very un-Chris Paul things.
After committing five turnovers in the Clippers' Game 1 loss, Paul finished with a career-high eight turnovers Thursday as the Clippers fell to San Antonio 105-88.
