Game Blog :: Spurs vs. Thunder :: April 7

[SA210]

Bruce needs to start the 2nd half! Period!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs being Defensive minded, who'd of thunk it?

you mean we aren't going to win a championship by trying to outscore the other team?

Isn't that how the Suns won all of their championships?

:lmao

[anonoftheinternets]

Yes, let's see if the Spurs can finally muster a win over the 21-55 Thunder.

lol pussy move ...... if they win, its a win over the "lowly" thunder ...... if they lose......OOOOHH I TOLD U SO IM SO GREAT .......

:toast

[TDomination]

Manu to Duncan for the 3!!!

: (

[VI_Massive]

When TP on the court he could score 20 by quarter but it was TP against the Thunders.Now they are playing better.

That's true, but I think our improvement in this game came from putting Bowen on Durant and slowing him down.

[ElNono]

How good will Durant get when he hits the weights?

If he gets any better than this I fully expect a trade to the Lakers for Sasha Vujacic and Farmar. :lol

[Spursmania]

Seriously Pop, please put in Hill as well.
Damn, did you see the NBA commercial with Manu feeding Timmy. Now I'm sad again.:(

[spursfan1000]

Goooo spurs goo!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Bruce needs to start the 2nd half! Period!

Bruce out and Durant scores over finely.

This isn't rocket science !


C'mon Pop !

:flag:

[Capt Bringdown]

Still no Hill?

[anonoftheinternets]

If he gets any better than this I fully expect a trade to the Lakers for Sasha Vujacic and Farmar. :lol

true .... +1 ...... but he does look impressive .........

[JohnnySixString]

lol pussy move ...... if they win, its a win over the "lowly" thunder ...... if they lose......OOOOHH I TOLD U SO IM SO GREAT .......

:toast

Uh, dumbass, THEY ARE THE "LOWLY" THUNDER. :lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

Still no Hill?

Wait until the fourth quarter and he will play two minutes, I guarantee you.

That's how Pop rolls !

:lmao:lmao

:flag:

[milkyway21]

83% from beyond the arc:tu

[ElNono]

Still no Hill?

I think we're looking at the playoff rotation, with no Vaughn or Hill...

[Spursmania]

Timmy's shirt practically ripped off there.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on Thabo

[TDomination]

Still no Hill?
I don't like Hill not playing, but as long as Vaughn doesn't play, then its ok. I'd rather have Mason at the point than Vaughn.

[dogzofwar]

Timmy looking better this game. Only one knee pad and actually fighting down low again. Me likey!

[SA210]

That's true, but I think our improvement in this game came from putting Bowen on Durant and slowing him down.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Uh, dumbass, THEY ARE THE "LOWLY" THUNDER. :lol

Yeah, but you forgot something:

right now, we're the lowly Spurs with Tim at 60% health and no Manu Ginobili.

I'll take the W and if it is only by 1 point, I'm not going to complain or diss it !

:flag:

[ElNono]

Bruce with the D...

[Spursmania]

How can you not love the fight in Bowen?

[TDomination]

look at that, Bowen causing havoc. He better officially be back in the rotation.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D Bruce

[SA210]

Good job Bruce.

[Crookshanks]

Man - these Thunder announcers are sooooooooooooo BORING! They're mainly just talking - and not about the game. And they just said the Thunder are not at all intimidated or afraid of "this uniform" (meaning the Spurs). BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Spursmania]

Timmy looking better this game. Only one knee pad and actually fighting down low again. Me likey!

You're right. Only one knee pad!!

[ElNono]

Lots of Gooden, little of Bonner... sign of things to come?

[JohnnySixString]

Yeah, but you forgot something:

right now, we're the lowly Spurs with Tim at 60% health and no Manu Ginobili.

I'll take the W and if it is only by 1 point, I'm not going to complain or diss it !

:flag:


It's like watching Mike Tyson get in the ring with a midget....sure Tyson has lost a step over the years and is rusty, but that's still no excuse for him to lose to a midget.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 12pts 10rebs

[ElNono]

Spoke too soon, there's Matt...

[alchemist]

the Spurs D has been there, they are very active, just early on OKC was hitting their shots.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I think we're looking at the playoff rotation, with no Vaughn or Hill...

I sure hope that you are not telling me that Mason is our backup point guard.

Play Tony 48 minutes if you feel a fear of Beno coming on, but plz do not, do not, for the love of God and all that is holy, do not play Mason at back up point guard, ever !

:wow:depressed

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tony and 1

[TDomination]

heck ya Parker!!!

[SA210]

YES!!! Love seeing Bruce part of the fast break like old times!

[Libri]

TP working his magic

[Spursmania]

"oh Mama":lol

[Spooky]

Tp!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tony and 0 :(

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tony at the ft line, 48 all.

:flag:

[ElNono]

Good second quarter...

[Spursmania]

Someone screwed up on D. Wright was way open.

[SA210]

Of course Bruce not giving up, still running back on D even till the buzzer!

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 51-50 at the half

[duncan228]

In Boston in February Duncan's knee wasn't wrapped in the first half, came out wrapped after halftime. I'm waiting to see if that knee stays unpadded.

[spursfan1000]

Succsess for Spurs OMO in first half.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tony with the steal, TP puts us up 51 to 48 !

:toast

:flag:

[Mavs<Spurs]

At the half, Spurs 51, Thunder 50 !

:toast

:flag:

[ElNono]

It's reassuring to see Bruce out there... I'm glad Pop stopped with the total offense nonsense.

[boutons_deux]

both teams cooled off in 2nd qtr, Spurs more than tunder.

Very uncharacteristic, and very welcome, 2nd qtr for Spurs.

[alchemist]

liked the effort in the first half, these guys are playing scrappy basketball on both ends, love it, we may go down in the Post Season but we're not going without a fight.

[Spursmania]

Back to Timmy's knee pads though. I really am surprised that he's only wearing one knee pad. Which knee was the pad on? The chronic one or the quad tendonosis one?
I would think that would be a good sign for his overall health.

[ElNono]

That Wade play on the commercial is clearly an offensive foul... just sayin'

[SA210]

Bruce should start the 2nd half! Who's with me?????

[milkyway21]

I just cannot believe Pop Benoed Hill again. :cry

[Mugen]

better qtr for the spurs.

thank god no more JV, hopefully pop carve out a small role for Hill.

But overall our rotations look pretty good and seem pretty set.

bruce is making a comeback baby!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Mason + 15

TD + 2

Bruce + 5

KT + 2

Those are our positive + / - numbers

:flag:

[Trainwreck2100]

hey manu i spy something with an "I" here's a hint it's you.

[Spursmania]

It's reassuring to see Bruce out there... I'm glad Pop stopped with the total offense nonsense.

Yeah, that's getting old.

[duncan228]

Back to Timmy's knee pads though. I really am surprised that he's only wearing one knee pad. Which knee was the pad on? The chronic one or the quad tendonosis one?
I would think that would be a good sign for his overall health.

The chronic one, his left, is padded. I'm not sure what to make of it yet. I'm hoping someone asks him post game so we get a direct quote on how he feels.

[Josepatches_]

12-10 for TD at half.

At least one more doble doble

[Mavs<Spurs]

Thunder outrebounded us by 4, shooting 49 % down from the better than 52 % that they were shooting before.

Durant with 14 points, 4 for 9 from the field and 4 assists. He's had 7 ft attempts, converting 5 of them.

TP has 15 points, 5 of 9 from the field. TD has 12 points, 10 rebounds.

Gooden has 10 points.

:flag:

[crc21209]

OK even though we are only up 1 I like what I see so far. A rotation slowly but surely seems to be getting set. With TP and Mason at the guard spots. Fin, Bowen and Udoka at the Small Forward spot. Timmy, Gooden, and Thomas as the top 3 big men in the rotation, with a splash of Bonner. Hopefully Hill can at least get some spot minutes. And hopefully we have seen the end of Vaughn.

[SA210]

Mason + 15

TD + 2

Bruce + 5

KT + 2

Those are our positive + / - numbers

:flag:


:flag: That's what the hell I'm frickin' talking about!

[MaNu4Tres]

The effort the first half was the best I've seen all month from this team. Hopefully with Manu out our chemistry and togetherness will shape form to actually make some noise in 2 weeks.

[crc21209]

As for some Western Conf. updates guys:

Blazers- 35
Grizzlies- 47 Halftime

Magic- 28
Rockets- 33 7:00 left in the 2nd qtr.

[SA210]

Bruce should start the 2nd half! Who's with me?????

[anonoftheinternets]

wud be nice if hornets and rockets both lost today.

[crc21209]

Another update:

Hornets- 54
Heat- 48 1:37 left in the 3rd qtr.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I am with you that Bruce should be starting the second half !

[Mavs<Spurs]

:flag: That's what the hell I'm frickin' talking about!

The Mason number may be an anomaly or an aberration, but the others are about defense and that is what they have in common !

I think that this is pretty clear, no ?

:flag:

[milkyway21]

Gooden has 10 points. that's good news. Hope more FTs for him. 4-4 so far. 13 minutes 3-5 FG, blk 1 stl 2 TO 1. Not bad.

[crc21209]

It was so sweet to see Tim and Bruce combine for a block and eventually a TO against the Thunder down there in the paint in the 2nd qtr.

[Mavs<Spurs]

If I see Finley start the 2nd half, I will induce vomiting..

However, against all evidence, Pop loves Finely so much that he will play him over Bruce.

I am sorry to say it.

I hope that I am wrong!

:flag:

[Spursmania]

Did you all see the thread that states the Spurs signed Marcus Williams? Just came out.

[SA210]

The Mason number may be an anomaly or an aberration, but the others are about defense and that is what they have in common !

I so wish I could send Pop a text! :bang

I will return back to this chess game in a minute. I must checkmate my opponent in my other chess :flag:game.

Cmon Spurs don't make this a shootout.

[Spursmania]

Bonner sucking like he has the last several games.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fucking Bonner can't make a open shot

[Mavs<Spurs]

What ever guys this team is ahead by 1 point against a team that is 3-7 for their last ten and 14-25 AT HOME and in contention for ANOTHER LOTTERY SELECTION


Rotations.. +15's yada yada yada..... and if they WIN they WIN the SERIES 3-1

Thanks for sticking to the right thread topic !

:wrongf:stfu

[spursfan1000]

:lol @ Finley what a joke


Your a joke for calling him a joke...you don't know what hes done for us the past couple years?

[Spurs Brazil]

Playoffs are getting close and Bonner is already feeling the pressure. Bench him and play a 3 man rotation, TD, Gooden and Thomas

[TDomination]

i like how krstic becomes a pure shooter against us

[SA210]

Your a joke for calling him a joke...you don't know what hes done for us the past couple years?

One at a time.

TD and one!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Bruce didn't start the second half, how did we know?

And the Thunder are up 63 to 59 as I type this.

:flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, we're making the Thunder look like contenders.

[justinandimcool]

Is the defense looking any better? Tim's lateral movement?

Apparently Bonner and Fin have been quiet.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Bruce > Finley

Bruce > Finley

:flag:

[ElNono]

Calling Gooden and Bowen... calling Gooden and Bowen...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

At this point, I'm pretty much looking forward to next year and the youth movement - Mahinmi, Gist, Hairston, and Hill will no longer be a rook, so maybe Pop's Benophobia will evaporate a little. :lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

Wow, we're making the Thunder look like contenders.

You can't fool me. I know that you are aware of the trouble that we are in.

:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner already benched.

Good move Pop :tu

Tie at 64

[milkyway21]

I'll sign out now.

well, good luck Spurs!

BEAT THESE GUYS.

YOU CAN DO IT!

[spursfan1000]

Bruce > Finley


Finley > How good you think he is.

[SA210]

I like what I see from Mason, but we need Bruce in that starting lineup too!

[Spursmania]

Your a joke for calling him a joke...you don't know what hes done for us the past couple years?

Finley is a great shooter. We're just talking about his D. Everyone knows he's an average defender. That's all.

[Spooky]

Tie game lets go Spurs

[spursfan1000]

Looks like Roger has his touch back, too bad its when Manu is out.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tie game at 64, Timmy with 16 and 10 ~

:flag:

[Pauleta14]

Tony with 5 steals !!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Finely has 3 points, no assists, no rebounds and 1 turnover, has shot however an amazing 1 for 3 from the field.

:flag:

[bbarry]

the only difference in this game is spurs aren't making their wide open looks, and thunder ARE making their CONTESTED shots.

[Libri]

Gooden hook

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Drew Gooden!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Finley and Udoka have the worst + / - numbers of the entire team.

- 7 and -8.

:flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Finley trying to defend Durant is like a mouse taking on a lion.

C'mon Pop, are you ever going to use Bruce again?

[Libri]

Bruce is in

[Crookshanks]

I've said it before - but I'm getting real tired of these NBA commercials showing the Spurs on the losing side all the time.

They just had the one with the kids and NBA stars like Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Lebron, and Shaq talking about how basketball is just a game - but sometimes it's more than that. Well they have a segment where they say "and even when there's no chance of winning" and they show Timmy with his head down walking across the court. Looks like it might be last year's WCF.

Regardless - it's so disrespectful to use Timmy - a 4-time champ and probably the best Power Forward to ever play the game - in a commercial like that.

Sometimes I really hate the NBA!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You can't fool me. I know that you are aware of the trouble that we are in.

:lol

A big, BIG hole.

Yeah, we're done, first round flameout... I'll keep cheering to the end though. Can't win every year.

:)

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!!!

[spursfan1000]

Damn Drew Gooden is doing good.

[TDomination]

i am loving gooden, heck ya

and i am liking the rotation too. I hope this is what it is.

[Spooky]

Gooden lookin good

[Mavs<Spurs]

Thunder outrebounding us by 10 and shooting 57 % from the field, yet somehow we are up 5.

Gooden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 71-66

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Drew Gooden can score.... I think he is finally getting comfortable. Hopefully he can continue to try and improve his D though.

[Chomag]

Man, i's so nice having another player other then TD that can score down low

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'll sign out now.

well, good luck Spurs!

BEAT THESE GUYS.

YOU CAN DO IT!

If you were talking about the Lakers, great, but this is OKC! How far we have fallen... :lmao

[spursfan1000]

Finley trying to defend Durant is like a mouse taking on a lion.

C'mon Pop, are you ever going to use Bruce again?


Well its not really Finleys fault...its the guy who put him on Durant...not going to name any names...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn the Hornets and Heat game is low scoring 64- 58 with 6 minutes left in the 4th. Hornets winning :(

[Death In June]

Gooden, Duncan, Ian, and Sheed as our bigmen next year. Someone make it happen.

[Libri]

Gooden's hook shot was nothing but net

[Spursmania]

Well folks. We're mortal and even small victories now are something to be happy about.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I agree that it is extremely nice to have another player other than TD who can score down low.

Tim with 19 and 12, Gooden with 14 points !

:flag:

[Chomag]

IS IME playing the 2?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Finley trying to defend Durant is like a mouse taking on a lion.

That was some funny timing, huh? I posted that, then the next post was yours! :lol

He sure does look more comfortable.

I believe that's exactly what I said...

[loveforthegame]

Durant has now scored 18 points on Finley.

[Mavs<Spurs]

And now, the only players who have negative + / - numbers are:


Finely,Udoka, Bonner .

I think that we all know the reason for that.

I see Pop still refuses to use G Hill...what a douche. But, it's hard to care at the moment.

[RobSM64]

jeez, no hill?

[Spooky]

nice pass Mason

[Mavs<Spurs]

Durant steals the ball from Udoka and Durant gets a dunk.

See that is how you get a negative + / - .

Good on Gooden though for making his hook.

:flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we make the 2nd round this year I'll be ecstatic. It'll be a big overachievment.

[Chomag]

So! Let me get this strait. Mason is finally looking good and starting to get his confidence back? So what does Pop do? He puts him back into the PG spot to squish any of that.

[Death In June]

Whatever hope you may have had to get out of the first two rounds without Manu may be killed by Pop's stubbornness.

[loveforthegame]

Udoka doing a nice job on the boards. I'll give him that.

[SA210]

Was that a push off?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Thunder still shooting 75% from the 3 point line btw, outrebounding us by 4 and shooting 50 % from the field.

[Spooky]

wow Durant

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

Spurs up 75-72 after the 3rd

[loveforthegame]

Durant has now scored 22 points on Finley through 3 quarters.

[SA210]

So! Let me get this strait. Mason is finally looking good and starting to get his confidence back? So what does Pop do? He puts him back into the PG spot to squish any of that.


:bang

[Crookshanks]

You think the Spurs would ever have a chance at getting Durant?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:rolleyes

mason went with 12secs on the clock. Manu or Tony go with 6-7 so that guys like Durant DON'T have an opportunity to go coast-to-coast.

We are so out of sync it's getting to be humourous.

[Death In June]

Small Victories ...fuckin JOKE

Five games left in the season...


And because of the MANU FIASCO POP has no ROTATION...

Spurs are VERY likely to get SWEPT out of the FIRST ROUND


again FUCK YOU MANU!!!!You're going to blame pop's brainless rotations on Manu? How dense are you? How do you even make it to the keyboard to type your idiotic sentences? People get hurt, through no fault of their own. What's especially stunning is that the guy's given you hard, physical play his entire career and you find room to complain.

[TDomination]

beautiful feed from thomas

[Crookshanks]

Thunder are going to auction off Player jerseys during the last home game - and the announcers said you could take them home that night. Soooo - are they the ones the guys are wearing that night? Ewwwwww! :p:

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas!!!!!!!!!

[Juanobili]

Gooden says get that shit outta hereeeee!

[TDomination]

Gooden with the block!

[Libri]

ooh, Gooden block

[arodz]

A block shot!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden block!

[will_spurs]

LOL 4 rebounds in a row for Thomas.

[arodz]

Thomas tripped on the free throw line

[Mavs<Spurs]

Parker too.

not at the time of the post.

:nope

BTW, Parker's right now is -1 and since he is playing almost the entire game and the game is close, his number couldn't be that high.

That's just the math.


:flag:

[Thomas82]

Gooden is very impressive.

Yeah, he is starting to come around.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is that Livingston the ex-Clipper? I thought he was with the Heat.

Gooden is taking some very poor shots. Fadeaway is not your game, young man.

[Death In June]

What a surprise, the lead disappears with Mason at point guard, but playing to his strengths it extends. There must be some pattern here. Maybe pop will figure it out.

[Thomas82]

Tim is looking pretty good tonight too.

[Thomas82]

What a surprise, the lead disappears with Mason at point guard, but playing to his strengths it extends. There must be some pattern here. Maybe pop will figure it out.

I hope he does by April 18.

TP and TD back in

[Chomag]

What a surprise, the lead disappears with Mason at point guard, but playing to his strengths it extends. There must be some pattern here. Maybe pop will figure it out.
From how Pop has been lately I doubt it. He will actually try to use it more. lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Is that Livingston the ex-Clipper? I thought he was with the Heat.

Yes, is that Livingston

[arodz]

Tim and Tony on the pick n roll.....the only play left in the arsonal

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from TP!

[Mavs<Spurs]

over 9 minutes left in the game, but I guess that they are going to finish the game from here on out.

[Crookshanks]

Ok - looks like the Thunder might be finally cooling off - and the Spurs are starting to roll!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Death In June]

Tim's looking good at least.

[SA210]

Way to go boys, play Defense, slow it down, be patient, score. That's Spurs basketball!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 23pts 13rebs

[benefactor]

Bowen still in. :tu

[bbarry]

now it seems the spurs are the ones that are executing on offense, and thunder are now missing all their easy shots that were going in,earlier.

[ElNono]

Bruce player of the game so far... Gooden a close second...

[Chomag]

I bet Hill is thinking that he wished he got traded for Vince Carter or camby right about now. He would at least be getting the chance to develope.

[peskypesky]

This is EXACTLY what I've been saying since the day we got Gooden. A Duncan/Gooden combo is going to give the Spurs a weapon they haven't had since DRob. Two big men who can score in the paint.

[SA210]

Bruce player of the game so far... Gooden a close second...

They can't guard Timmy when he's playing like he is tonight - so they need to feed it to him the rest of the way.

miami WINS, hornets lose

[Josepatches_]

What a surprise, the lead disappears with Mason at point guard, but playing to his strengths it extends. There must be some pattern here. Maybe pop will figure it out.

But we were down by 7 at the end of first.Then Mason played at PG and we took the lead
He is not a PG but today numbers are with him. So Pop could think that it works

:bang:bang

Mason +15 +/-
