Clippers play for a series, Spurs for an era

The Spurs only seem like they’re forever. They could actually be gone in a day ... as in Saturday.

The Clippers are playing Game 7 in the hope of winning a title that only they think is possible.

The Spurs are playing as much to continue their 18-year run with Tim Duncan that makes them the reigning dynasty of the post-Bill Russell NBA.

Duncan’s three-year, $30 million contract, which he took to give the Spurs cap room, runs out July 1.

At 39, he’s still among the top centers — no, he’s not a power forward despite Spurs claims since he jumps center, plays in the post and guards opposing centers — so no one is nudging him toward retirement.
