[TPnumber1]

fuck

[ducks]

Manu has choked hard tonight..

back to back have always killed him

[san antonio spurs]

Wtf

[Chieflion]

Westbrook ties it at 99. Damn it. Timeout Spurs.

[tlongII]

Westbrook!

[007nites]

fuck

[VBM]

Damn...cmon...let's win this...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

An OT loss, just what we need

[Ice009]

What kind a fucking defense is that??????

[LakerHater]

Dammit!

[Creation88]

we have no chance in OT, gotta wrap it up here

[mexpurs21]

Put the ball in Blair's hands

[blkroadrunners]

Clutch shot by Westbrook. Now let's win it on the other side.

[urunobili]

put Mase in... It'd be sweet Manu's only basket to be the game winner too :D

[EmptyMan]

[loveforthegame]

Plenty of time to get a good shot.

[anonoftheinternets]

man rj is slow as molasses.....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ fcuk you

[gm5k]

ugh. Westbrook w/ the clutch midrange J. You f'ing kidding me...

[itzsoweezee]

lucky shot

[Refocus]

First game winner of the year? Please?? :)

[HarlemHeat37]

that was a nice shot..good strategy, give Westbrook the J, he made it..

I'd go to RJ here..

[DPG21920]

Manu FTW

[TIMMYD!]

Probably going to OT unless someone can do something with 3.8 left.

[angelbelow]

whoooo. here we go. lets win this one at the buzzer.

[td4mvp21]

Who should take this shot? I say run the play for the corner 3, have Hill take it.

[timtonymanu]

well at least it wasnt a 3.

[DAF86]

That 3 at the end of the first half :depressed

[Brazil]

fuck... 4 sec Maaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee

[anonoftheinternets]

ok mase for the win ...

[Johnny RIngo]

Who do we go to for the win? TP, Manu, or Mason?

[007nites]

we got time

[ace3g]

lets see if roger is still money in the clutch

[TIMMYD!]

What the fuck was that?

[DPG21920]

That can't be what was drawn up :lol

[anonoftheinternets]

fuck man .. spurs look terrible in clutch time...

[BanditHiro]

wtf that play sucked so hard

[td4mvp21]

....That's what we came up with?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I can give you 14 million reasons tonight is so damn disappointing (Richard Jefferson's salary).

What a pussy.


I can give you 10.725 million reasons why as well.

[Creation88]

what the fFUCK was that shit

[tlongII]

Ot!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Ot

[san antonio spurs]

OT damn

[TPnumber1]

wtf mc dyes for 3 ????

[Refocus]

Nope. Overtime.

[bbarry]

Mcdyess for 3. ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Whatever happens, I think the team has shown some real character tonight. These guys are improving, and that's all I need to know right now.

[Creation88]

no chance in OT motherfuckers

[Chieflion]

Oh my. Pop does not know how to set a play up? Dice for 3? Fuck you Pop.

[urunobili]

damn we're too tired to pull this one out :depressed

[Malice]

I figured that would happen. On a side note, its pretty funny how yahoo sports doesnt even have a picture on file for Blair lol.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm trying to figure Pop out. He overplays vets and underutilizes the youngsters - if at all. All this on a b2b, against a young, athletic, team

What's so hard to figure out? Larry Brown is his mentor. Larry Brown is the same stubborn SOB when it comes to veteran 'corporate knowledge' over youthful exuberance.

It's fucking stupid.

[Ice009]

WHAT KIND OF FUCKING POSSESSION was that.

Spurs are awful in crunch time this season.

WHat kind of SHIT is this.

[loveforthegame]

Geez. Really?

[Brazil]

http://content.ytmnd.com/content/b/e/a/bea21d4ebde863401e3725b1159a7d72.gif

:lol:lol:lmao

[phxspurfan]

McDyess for 3?

[Libri]

That double team messed it up.

[angelbelow]

fuck.. poorly executed play..

[mexpurs21]

Duncan must feel frustrated

[mavsfan1000]

:lol

[bigdog]

Overtime. Would have been beautiful if Manu could see RJ cutting.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Last thing this team needed was OT

[TJastal]

Well overtime, this is gonna be taxing on TP and Manu. Hope it was worth not playing Timmy for 20 minutes. Idiot.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What happened to this team? They play like a D-League team.

The problem isn't a b2b, it's the fact that they look so completely clueless out there and lack any sense of cohesion.

We're 1-5 in games decided by 5 points or less and soon to be 1-6.

Manu needs to pull his head out of his ass pronto.

[Admidave50]

Damn it's going to be hard in the 4th

Manu and RJ aren't doing shit

[VBM]

Maybe Ginobili will join the party in OT....

[Fpoonsie]

WtF, POP? You call THAT shit outta TIMEOUT?!?

[timtonymanu]

Whatever happens, I think the team has shown some real character tonight. These guys are improving, and that's all I need to know right now.

exactly. i dont know why people are getting so worked up. the spurs look better nowadays.

[SenorSpur]

That's all this team needed now - 5 more effin' minutes.

These guys are gassed.

[anonoftheinternets]

goddamn .. unbeleivable .. pop used to draw up the best plays.... so i dont beleive that has changed.... it has got to be hte new guys who can execute ...

[DPG21920]

You guys are crazy if you think Pop drew that up.

[ace3g]

that was like the play ran in 05 , manu made a similar pass, but Dice couldn't hit the 3

[HarlemHeat37]

Are you fucking kidding me?..

It's going to be funny seeing the team try to find some energy here..they barely had any in the 4th..

[Johnny RIngo]

Mcdyess for 3. ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME.

Reminds me when we went to fucking Bonenr for the game winner. Pathetic.

[mystargtr34]

Fuck..

Good effort tonight but i can see the Thunder running away with it now.

Keep fighting.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LMAO at Pop having to draw up a play without just being able to say 'throw it to Tim'.

What a goober.

[Kori Ellis]

Got damn.. the Spurs have no energy for OT :(

[cnyc3]

That play was drawn up for Horry

[Malice]

Hey that goes in if its Rasheed Wallace.....just saying....lol

[Admidave50]

Why RMJ didn't get the ball in his hands?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mahinmi shock trooper in OT? Please?

[TPnumber1]

tony played 36 mn already :depressed

[bigdog]

That play was drawn up for Horry

Same play where he hit the 3 against Detroit.

[Creation88]

hey Manu get your fucking head outta your ass for OT.

[EmptyMan]

I dont think the Spurs have enough gas for OT.

[td4mvp21]

We are fucked so bad.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Maybe Ginobili will join the party in OT....

i prayyy

[Andy25]

Its not like Pop planned it like that. It was a broken play. Dice was just trying to make lemonade. But let's win this shit in OT already. Fucking refs conned this into an OT.

[Ice009]

Oh my. Pop does not know how to set a play up? Dice for 3? Fuck you Pop.

I don't understand man.

Bill Russell said the Celtics practiced these kind of plays for these situations all the time.

Do the Spurs even have any plays for these kinds of situations??????

It seems like they have never practiced a game winning play ever.

Come on MANU AND TP step up now.

[DPG21920]

I have a feeling TP will come up big. He will get his second wind in OT. Blair will play big as well.

[bigdog]

This would be the perfect time for Manu to stop sucking.

and where was Hill on that play?

[Velo]

TP9's foot is gunna hurt like a muther tomorrow....

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol The Thunder announcers said that Blair is the first rookie to get 20 and 20 since Duncan did it in 1988 :lol

[Brazil]

guys 2 options: okc blow us or this is the game we needed to seal this team

[loveforthegame]

Who's going to step up in OT? Parker is gassed. Ginobli has laid an egg on the offensive end. Blair and Hill have done a nice job scoring.

Mason and Jefferson need to give us something.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What happened to this team? They play like a D-League team.

The problem isn't a b2b, it's the fact that they look so completely clueless out there and lack any sense of cohesion.

We're 1-5 in games decided by 5 points or less and soon to be 1-6.

Manu needs to pull his head out of his ass pronto.

That is called TIREDNESS, which generally results from a btb on the road. :rolleyes

[blkroadrunners]

Spurs had this game wrap up.

[Fpoonsie]

I can't believe how shitty Manu's played this game.

[EmptyMan]

RJ you HAVE TO STEP UP

[HarlemHeat37]

how the fuck didn't RJ get a foul call there?!..

[td4mvp21]

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!!?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

RJ got hacked!! WTF

[TPnumber1]

rj... and foul on blair

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blair with 5..... Not good :(

[DPG21920]

I cannot believe no foul called for RJ and then called on Blair. Blair fouled but RJ got fouled.

[Ice009]

That was a foul on rj.

What the fuck.

[Chieflion]

Should have been a shooting foul and send RJ to the line.

[Creation88]

no call for RJ and a fucking foul on Blair fuck these refs

[SPURadic]

I just saw the box score now. Why are the Spurs rotation limited to 8 tonight when they sure as hell were exhausted last night against the Lakers?

They should let guys like mahinmi some burn to increase their energy.

[td4mvp21]

That's the foul they called? Fuck these stupid shits

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Terrible fucking call. No contact on RJ???

[Johnny RIngo]

Jefferson and Manu HAVE to step up.

[Ice009]

That was a foul on rj.

What the fuck.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thats a foul on RJ WTF

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tp for 3333333333333333

[DPG21920]

I told you TP would come up big.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck you thunder!!!

[TPnumber1]

tonyy 3

[Chieflion]

Parker for 3!

[EmptyMan]

Vintage manu!

[DPG21920]

Then Tp dives on the floor for the loose ball. He is finding the energy.

[anonoftheinternets]

lol clucht parker and manu,,,

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli decides to join the party. :tu

[Libri]

Spurs are fighting for this win.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fantastic gamble by Manu.

[HarlemHeat37]

what a play by Manu..

come on Blair, make at least 1..

[ace3g]

damn what a steal by manu, still playing tough, even when his shot is not falling

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

hey Manu get your fucking head outta your ass for OT.

It's not about pulling his head out. He just doesn't have the energy. Good thing we're only using an 8 man roster tonight. WTF Pop?

[Admidave50]

LOL with his 2 PF rotations, what will pop do if Blairs fouls out?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bank that shit DB :D

[Creation88]

off glass!!

[DPG21920]

Blair with the bank shot FT!

[EmptyMan]

Banking in free throws


My lord this man is a legend.

[SenorSpur]

How small of a lineup does Pop want to use? He's outdone even himself.

This is midget ball.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL bank..

COME ON, IT'S FATE NOW..

[EmptyMan]

What the FUCK ref????

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow fucking bullshit

[TIMMYD!]

What is with these bullshit calls?

[Velo]

nice! Grizzly Blair calls bank on a FT!

[Creation88]

are you motherfucking kidding me? that's fucking bullshit

[td4mvp21]

These refs are goddamn awful. Fuck them. These calls have been so fucking bad

[TPnumber1]

arf blair :depressed

[Chieflion]

Blair fouls out. Stupid call!

[loveforthegame]

That sucks. Damn.

[EmptyMan]

What the FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCK

[Libri]

mother f******!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair fouled out

[Creation88]

Fuck these refs

[DPG21920]

Are you kidding me with that call? RJ no call, but foul Blair out on that?

[itzsoweezee]

what a bullshit fucking call.

[bigdog]

That is such a bullshit call. WOWWWWWWW

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bull shit

[TPnumber1]

fuck the refs ....

[blkroadrunners]

Sean Elliott's pissed - I wouldn't blame him.

[balli]

Sean Elliott is being a fucking toolbag.

[LakerHater]

wow!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Two fucking ridiculous plays. That is not a foul on Grizzly. Fucking home cookin.

[urunobili]

lol refs

[EmptyMan]

I am flabbergasted.

[Johnny RIngo]

Maybe this game will show the Spurs FO that our frontline is too thin right now.

[tlongII]

Sean Elliott is the biggest homer announcer in the league.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

is that what you call homecourt adv?

[td4mvp21]

Wow, I'm surprised they even had the brains to call that foul.

[mystargtr34]

Come on Dyess...

[Spursfanfromafar]

28 pts, 21 rebounds, 6 fouls... from a rookie.. we will take it.. He smashed that wall by some force, the kid..didn't he?

[TMTTRIO]

Manu still horrible tonight

[Brazil]

tp with 3 3s ! is it the first time ?

[angelbelow]

DAMN IT... monster game by blair tho..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu is ICE cold......

[DPG21920]

Great rebounding.

[Chieflion]

Great hustle. I am proud of the Spurs.

[EmptyMan]

Spurs digging deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

[td4mvp21]

So basically, they have to fucking decapitate our players for them to call a foul

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson gets absolutely no respect from refs, this happens all the time..Pop needs to send a tape to the NBA or something..

[Shastafarian]

so this game is fixed

[anonoftheinternets]

goddamn RJ ...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The announcers saying there was no contact!?!?

get outta here

[ace3g]

those are the type of rebounds I knew Jefferson would come in handy for, those are the type of rebounds that win playoff games

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

You kidding me RJ?

[TPnumber1]

horrible ft rj

[Admidave50]

RJ just fucking SUCK!!

[TIMMYD!]

I hate the way RJ shoots...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great fight for 2 O boards.

Incredible effort by the team tonight. Terrible coaching by Pop.

[Malice]

dude can i get a score update. fucking yahoo isnt updating....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Maybe this game will show the Spurs FO that our frontline is too thin right now.

It's not thin, there's just not enough 40 year olds over 6'10" for Pop to get his hands on :rolleyes

Seriously... Ian, Haislip, Theo.... sometimes I wish someone would kick Pop in the junk for being such a douche about playing his veterans.

[Creation88]

fuck these refs

[angelbelow]

Sean Elliott is the biggest homer announcer in the league.

Says the Blazer fan.

[DPG21920]

Sean Elliott is being a fucking toolbag.

Like someone who thinks a team trying to sign their FA deserves to get injured?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great fight for 2 O boards.

Incredible effort by the team tonight. Terrible coaching by Pop.

[blkroadrunners]

Great effort RJ.

[Darthkiller]

jefferson walked

[urunobili]

come on RJ make the second

[Brazil]

great hustle. I am proud of the spurs.

+100000

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

God DAMNIT

[loveforthegame]

When's the last time Ginobli went scoreless in a game?

[Creation88]

stop sucking dick manu

[SenorSpur]

Maybe this game will show the Spurs FO that our frontline is too thin right now.

Either way, they'll ignore the message.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are forcing their way to the rim, forcing the refs to make the call.

[Brazil]

Great fight for 2 O boards.

Incredible effort by the team tonight. Terrible coaching by Pop.

yep back to back game and only 8 active players ...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu make your FTS

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

106 106

[blkroadrunners]

I love this Spurs energy right now. They're staying aggressive and playing hard despite a b2b.

[Brazil]

come one manu

[TJastal]

should have been a charge on Manu

[Admidave50]

Manu has the opportunity to score his first points. Kinda unreal knowing that Duncan is not playing

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The announcers saying there was no contact!?!?

get outta here

The announcers are pathetic homers.

[urunobili]

BIIIIIGGGG FT's for Manu

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

KD is going to win this game for the Thunder

[Danny.Zhu]

Manu finally scores...

[SenorSpur]

It's not thin, there's just not enough 40 year olds over 6'10" for Pop to get his hands on :rolleyes

Seriously... Ian, Haislip, Theo.... sometimes I wish someone would kick Pop in the junk for being such a douche about playing his veterans.

:tu

[EmptyMan]

Honestly, the Spurs have played hard enough for me to be content with a loss tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I've been critical of Pop in the past, but damn - this might be hands down the worst coached game by him I've ever seen. What an idiot.

[Darthkiller]

that was a charge on manu, spurs got the refs in their pockets

[TIMMYD!]

I fucking hate Durant. Aghhhhhhhhh! When does he miss?

[Brazil]

Durant is good

[angelbelow]

dude can i get a score update. fucking yahoo isnt updating....

tied at 106 with a min 30

[phxspurfan]

Durant is like a 7 foot Ray Allen...

[loveforthegame]

I can't watch anymore.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

That did everything BUT FALL for Manu :(

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck, McDyess at the line..I'd be satisfied with 1 out of 2..

[urunobili]

come on guys we need this win!

[DPG21920]

At least Manu is firing away. Thunder playing smart defense, but Spurs missing some make-able shots.

[Ice009]

mANU HAS BEEN BAD. gotta make a shot Manu.

[Creation88]

blew it

[Amuseddaysleeper]

*sigh*

[VBM]

Ugh...had to miss a freebie...

[Brazil]

fuck dice

[Chieflion]

Oh no. Dice missed the second.

[TIMMYD!]

I want to send Pop some fucking hate mail.

[Libri]

Damn it. There is no margin for error.

[EmptyMan]

I cant believe the refs fouledd out DB.

[urunobili]

damn come on Dice we needed those

[loveforthegame]

I'm proud of the way the guys are rebounding. :tu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

shit...

[Admidave50]

Shit Dice!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Of course..... OF COURSE

[austN Spur]

cant believe this game

[gm5k]

proud of the guys no matter the outcome. lots of weird breaks for the Thunder tonight.

[DPG21920]

Damn, big miss.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The announcers are pathetic homers.

:lol

Seriously.

[TPnumber1]

manu 0-10 :wow

[bbarry]

Honestly, the Spurs have played hard enough for me to be content with a loss tonight.

fuck that. a loss is the last thing you want in a game like this. blair with a superb performance, to being with, on top of everything else.

[anonoftheinternets]

man this game ....

[Chieflion]

The Thunder are lucky they have both Westbrook and Durant. Westbrook is obviously the leader of that team. Durant the go to scorer.

[OldSilentHill]

Thunders are doing a great plan: making simple basquets and sending every spurs possesion to the FT line and of course, we cant make them all.

With this plan, we are over :(

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why no Mason?

[DPG21920]

Have to get a stop. Get the stop and give yourself a chance.

[anonoftheinternets]

cmon tp do it again ...

[timtonymanu]

waa waa waa some of you.

these guys are tired. quit bitching. blame pop for his stupid rotations.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Honestly, the Spurs have played hard enough for me to be content with a loss tonight.

Me too, especially given the terrible coaching and home calls.
