NBA Legend Jamal Crawford Looks Back on Spurs vs. Clippers 2015 Playoff Series
The San Antonio Spurs may not be in the NBA playoffs this year, but the month of May is a great time to reminisce over some of the franchise's biggest playoff moments.
This moment in particular, however, isn't one of the Spurs' brightest. Back in 2015, coming into the series as the defending champions, San Antonio fell short to Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford and the Los Angeles Clippers in one of the most thrilling first-round series in the past decade.
It's a series Crawford remembers very well from his two-decade career in the NBA.
"It was the series against the San Antonio Spurs in 2015. They were so detailed in everything," Crawford said. "Every mistake you made they made you pay for. They just won the championship the year before and I remember talking to Zach Randolph towards the end of the season when the matchups were about to come out, and we were both like nobody wants to play San Antonio."
During the Spurs dynasty, San Antonio was always in the thick of things every year in the playoffs. Either the Spurs won it all or a great team competed hard and had some cards fall in their favor. When playing San Antonio in the playoffs, this series was a great example of the Spurs' legacy ... they weren't going to make things easy.
