Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Nov. 14

[CFH]

Tied up again

[itzsoweezee]

completely dominating the boards

[Cessation]

great effort by spurs

[NASpurs]

Manu can't hit for shit tonight

[BanditHiro]

dammit manu make it please

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu is ice cold

[ducks]

How did RJ not get the call?

his name is nt james:bang:bang:bang:bang

[c whata11]

RJ drawing the charge

[CFH]

RJ takes the charge

[ace3g]

great D by RJ, draws the charge on Durant

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with those layups, TD, Manu, RJ we can't get a break

[DarkGinobili]

Rj!

[ducks]

Manu is ice cold

he is very cold hearted yes

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu just can't score vs. OKC..

He's 8-44 from the field vs. OKC in the last 4 meetings, including this game..

I know Thabo is a great defender, but a lot of these shots are wide open..

[CFH]

Spurs have gone ice cold

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn, we can't score now

[Libri]

defense by RJ :clap

[Ice009]

FOR FUCKS SAKE MANU. STOP playing like crap against the Thunder. DO THEY OWN YOU? DESTROY THEM.

[ducks]

spurs have not scored in forever

[GSH]

Manu just can't score vs. OKC..

He's 8-44 from the field vs. OKC in the last 4 meetings, including this game..


There's a stat I could have done without.

[WeNeedLength]

Parker is looking tired...

[itzsoweezee]

now the spurs are ice cold. pop needs to bring in some scoring off the bench.

[ducks]

Manu just can't score vs. OKC..

He's 8-44 from the field vs. OKC in the last 4 meetings, including this game..

I know Thabo is a great defender, but a lot of these shots are wide open..

maybe he should not play against the great d of the thunder:downspin:

[NASpurs]

Stupid shot by Hill

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu last season was 0-34948 against the Thunder and in the 1st game this season it looks the same

[CFH]

Hill airballed that one, yeesh...

[NASpurs]

TP with the jumper!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you TP

[CFH]

Parker jumper

[NASpurs]

TD with the hook!

[ducks]

There's a stat I could have done without.

truth hurt?

[CFH]

Duncan

[TMTTRIO]

Ugh I hate that Manu's game is turning into a shooting game. I knew this would happen. When his shot is off that's all he brings. Sad to see.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy!!!

[GSH]

Just keep giving the ball to Tony. We need about 40 from him the way everyone else is shooting.

[Texas_Ranger]

jump, jump!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Actually, I missed a game..Manu is 16-62 vs. OKC in the last 5..

[GSH]

truth hurt?


Definitely. Manu has to straighten that crap out.

[NASpurs]

The defense is so good right now. Has me excited!

[WeNeedLength]

Despite our shooting, this 3rd quarter defense has been pretty damn good, anchored by Timmy

[NASpurs]

What are the Thunder shooting in the 3rd quarter?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Is there anyone like myself who likes both Manu and Parker? Or do i have to choose a side.... :(

[HarlemHeat37]

I hope the D holds up when Duncan goes out of the game..better not see a Blair-Bonner frontcourt out there..

[HarlemHeat37]

Great D from Bonner and McDyess there..

[CFH]

Great defense

[GSH]

Is there anyone like myself who likes both Manu and Parker? Or do i have to choose a side.... :(


Doesn't matter if you don't choose sides. The haters will twist your words no matter what. After a while even you will start to think you hate one of them.

[JustinJDW]

Our defense is great right now, but our offense is looking bad other than Tony.

[NASpurs]

WTF is up with this lineup?

[ducks]

rj better be the option to score now

[WeNeedLength]

Fucking please make a shot!!!!!!11!!!!!11

[c whata11]

damn these late calls

[BanditHiro]

damn Rj is killing his legendary FG percentage

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible offense, Spurs waited way too long to get moving there..

Jefferson taking another stupid jump shot..he needs to keep attacking, he's taken 3 really stupid shots tonight..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I don't care how bad Manu is playing I don't like having Ginobili and Parker off the court at the same time.

[dbestpro]

We could use Anderson on a foul filled night like tonight.

[GSH]

It was a bad shot by Hill, but he got the ball dumped on him in the corner, with a man covering him up, and the shot clock winding down. He should have made something better out of that.

[NASpurs]

RJ for threeeeeeee!

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[ace3g]

RJ corner 3!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJJJJJJ for 33333333333333333

[BillMc]

Where is the Hill from the Dallas series last spring?

[HarlemHeat37]

Absolutely great play by Hill there, I love when he's aggressive..

[Spurologist]

RJ for threeeeeeee!

damn....my feed is hella slow....like 1 minute slow

[JustinJDW]

Put Tiago in man. Tiago and Bonner with Hill and Jefferson.

JEFFERSON FOR 3!!!

[Cessation]

fuck yeah rj

[BanditHiro]

lol bonner altering the shot

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill follows up a great play with a poor play:lol..

Bonner with good D at the rim on 2 consecutive plays..yes, you read that correctly:lol..

[GSH]

Great defense by Bonner on Durant's fast break. C'mon people, give credit where it's due.

[NASpurs]

More great defense! WOOOOOO

[dbestpro]

Cold as ice.

[WeNeedLength]

despite our awesome defense, our offense has dropped. Funny, isn't it?

[CFH]

Spurs defense has been amazing, a shame they can't buy a shot

[NASpurs]

14 point quarter for OKC

[siraulo23]

wtf great spurs defense with bonner on the court?

[BanditHiro]

despite our awesome defense, our offense has dropped. Funny, isn't it?

annoying

[DesignatedT]

wow 14 pts in the quarter? didn't see that coming.

[ElNono]

Well, we did held them to under 20 finally... need to keep it up

[Spurologist]

manu is gonna blow up in the 4th

[ElNono]

The pace went down a lot... good to see we can slow it down too

[dbestpro]

Put Tiago in man. Tiago and Bonner with Hill and Jefferson.

JEFFERSON FOR 3!!!

Tiago has played some straight up D, but the refs won't let him play so Pop looks like he'd rather sit Splitter than have him change the way he plays.

[boutons_deux]

Tim and Manu no show, Spurs still have a good chance.

Win 2nd of b2b on the road? Spurs? :)

[ducks]

manu is gonna blow up in the 4th

blow up I hope not
then the spurs would not have him anymore

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice J is MIA in the last 3-4 games

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shows you what hangin tough can do - this should be a great 4th Q if it isn't ruined by the refs.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's obviously tough to play good D and good offense at the same time, especially against a good OKC team, playing on a b2b and when your team is still developing chemistry..I'd rather have the good D, the offense will come, there are too many talented players on this team for them to keep missing..

OKC is one of the best 4th quarter teams in the NBA, so this will be tough..

[GSH]

Spurs shot 9-27 in the third quarter and outscored OKC by 7 points.

[WeNeedLength]

manu is gonna blow up in the 4th

:hungry: I'm praying for this...

[CFH]

Putting off Dexter to watch the end of this game, hopefully the Spurs win.

[Ross Parrot]

Better defense than last quarter. Even Bonner contested Durant in the paint:downspin:

[Nathan89]

Two game in a row with great defensive third quarters. 12pts last night and 14 tonight. We can adjust well to the other teams offense, good sign for the playoffs.

[NASpurs]

lol RJ bringing the ball up the court

Neal for threeeeeeeee

[ace3g]

3 ball from Neal!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gary fucking Neal

[CFH]

Chooo chooo!

[DarkGinobili]

neal 3!

[WeNeedLength]

Nice set play!!!!

[dbestpro]

Shows you what hangin tough can do - this should be a great 4th Q if it isn't ruined by the refs.

This...... you get the feeling this game will be decided by the whistles.

[Cessation]

Chooo chooo1!!

[NASpurs]

Bonner for threeeeeeeeee

[GSH]

The pace went down a lot... good to see we can slow it down too

It felt like it. But we took 21 shots in the 1st, 24 in the 2nd, and 27 in the 3rd.

[DarkGinobili]

bonner 3!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Matty ICEEEEE

[c whata11]

finally another bonner 3!

[CFH]

Bonner 5-5 from 3!

[Spurologist]

neal 33333333333333333333333

[ace3g]

[DesignatedT]

matt bonner son

[HarlemHeat37]

WOOOO BONNNNNERRRRR!!!..

I'm even going to use the Spurs Talk cliche: "WHERE ARE THE BONNER HATERS NOW?!"..

[WeNeedLength]

WTF just happened?

[CFH]

Chooo chooo ran a train on Ibaka

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

<3 Gary Neal

[Spurologist]

Bonnnerrrrrrr 3333333333333333333

[WeNeedLength]

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol
Chooo chooo ran a train on Ibaka

[L.I.T]

Over the back on Ibaka wasn't called. Tsk tsk.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Thunder announcers trying to argue that boxing out is a foul..I guess Neal won't be sharing with them any time soon..

[erikuff]

ouchhh

[Cessation]

yeah thunder meltdown !!

[Death In June]

WOOOO BONNNNNERRRRR!!!..

I'm even going to use the Spurs Talk cliche: "WHERE ARE THE BONNER HATERS NOW?!"..Bonner taking a shit on spurs talk*

[maddnezz]

4 th qtr... Here come Manu and TD....Book it!:ihit:flag::ihit

[Pelicans78]

Figures OKC would struggle against a real opponent. Overrated fuckers.

[NASpurs]

Neal was wide open :(

[hitmanyr2k]

Dumbass Thunder commentator. Ibaka shouldn't be jumping over the back you idiot. Jefferson is just blocking out.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

If only Bonner did this in the Playoffs!!!

[Spurologist]

:lol

"I don't understand how that's not a foul!"

It's called a box out

[BanditHiro]

Bonner taking a shit on spurs talk*

it seems to be a trend this season. there is just shit all over the place

[maddnezz]

GOOD BOX OUT! Shut up OKC annocer boy!

[Pelicans78]

Parker still an elite PG.

[dbestpro]

Dice :(

[Spurologist]

blow up I hope not
then the spurs would not have him anymore

:lol ducks

[CFH]

At least he's gonna have to earn em

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Wow, what a weak call on Hill..if Thabo makes that, they don't call it..

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili got away with one there :lol

[dbestpro]

Chooo chooo1!!

Spongebob has ripped his pants again.,

[GSH]

Figures OKC would struggle against a real opponent. Overrated fuckers.

The Hornets are playing really good ball. Don't you have any friends to talk to on one of their message boards?

[Ice009]

George HILL IS SHIT.

FOR FUCKS SAKE GEORGE.

[hitmanyr2k]

Weak call on Hill. Probably a makeup for the Ginobili non-call.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Parker still an elite PG.


Want to trade?:downspin:

[Spurologist]

Durant is out......need to extend that lead

[erikuff]

good pass by hill

[Cessation]

good ol dice

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs' D is bringing a tear to my eye right now..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Sprs defense is making me :D

[CFH]

I'm loving the defense

[boutons_deux]

Spurs winning it with D.

[Texas_Ranger]

Defense!!!!!!!!!

[GSH]

Great D by Hill on Westbrook. Great help by Manu. They just smothered him.

[DarkGinobili]

Defense is good right now.

[Pauleta14]

This is spurs denfense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maddnezz]

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yea!

[Nathan89]

17pts this half for the thunder. 66 in the first half.

[jestersmash]

I haven't seen this type of defense since 2007.

[ducks]

strange lineup working

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thunder showing why they are averaging the least amount of assists in the league..

[Pelicans78]

The Hornets are playing really good ball. Don't you have any friends to talk to on one of their message boards?

No.

Just speaking the truth. Spurs are too good for a team like OKC.

[Spurologist]

BEAUTIFUL Deffffeeeeeeennnnnssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Manu20]

Have not seen this type of spurs defense in a long long time.

Im loving it!!!!!

[Cessation]

spurs putting on the clamps in the second half, showing these kids they not the 2nd best team in the west as some tried to claim before the season started

[ducks]

pop must have not had a voice let after half time

[Ross Parrot]

OMG Orgasmic DEFENSE!!!:flag:

[BanditHiro]

i love defense

[GSH]

Spurs winning it with D.

Yep. We shot 33% in the first and third quarters. But in the third we got a lot more attempts than OKC, because we shut them down on defense.

[Nathan89]

Two game in a row with great defensive third quarters. 12pts last night and 14 tonight. We can adjust well to the other teams offense, good sign for the playoffs.

[Mal]

God damn it. OKC just suck ass. Their offens is so easy to read. Pop need 15 minutes in locker room, to tell guys what is going on and start defending and win this game with ease

[Cessation]

Spurs' D is bringing a tear to my eye right now..

me too :toast

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs are skull-fucking the Thunder with Duncan barely having an impact on this game. This is gonna be a great test for the Bulls. I fully expect the Bulls to murder you guys in the paint if Duncan keeps having his 50/50 nights though. The Spurs are due for an ass-whoopin :lol

[xmas1997]

Finally, DEFENSE!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Splitter 1:54 :(

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs need to close this out strong, keep the intensity up..

Last year's team would have found a way to lose this game..

[maddnezz]

No.

Just speaking the truth. Spurs are too good for a team like OKC.:toast

[c whata11]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Bonner! 6-6!

[DarkGinobili]

bonner 3!

[ace3g]

Bonner again!! ties his career high

[L.I.T]

Wahahahahaha. Gawd. Bonner again.

[Libri]

Bonner :downspin:

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL man, I love regular season Bon Bon..

Somebody get that man a sandwich..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Bonner started to run away before it even went in

[024]

bonner earning his contract.

[DesignatedT]

yes bonner. he has played awesome tonight. reason were ahead.

[Nathan89]

Where the Bonner haters at?

[GSH]

No.

Just speaking the truth. Spurs are too good for a team like OKC.


I thought you were saying they were overrated if the Spurs can beat them. There are/were some serious trolls from NO. Thought you were one of them.

I still say OKC is a good team. The Spurs have played a good game tonight.

[CFH]

Manu on the drive

[erikuff]

Bonnnneerr wtf

[Cessation]

gobble on that Bonnner!!! thunder

[maddnezz]

Damn Matt!!

[CFH]

Bonner! 7-7! OMGWTFBQQ! :wow

[duncan228]

My God Bonner...incredible.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Apparently, as we've heard ad nauseum for the last 7 years, Manu has no right hand. That last play was a massive dump on that numpty idea.

[WeNeedLength]

OMGROFL Bonner dropping, correction:, RAINING threes on the thunder. NOICE!

[Spurologist]

mmmmannnnnnnuuuuuuu 33333333333333333

[Mal]

[Libri]

[erikuff]

god damn bonner

[TIMMYD!]

No one ever gives Ginobili his due when he goes with the right hand :lol

Yeah, it's mostly forgotten because he plays so well with either hand that it's not a surprise anymore.

[Cessation]

Omg!!!!!! I love the bonner!!!!

[ElNono]

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Bonner

[Pauleta14]

This is insane.... i love it!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Bbbbbbbbonnnnnnnneeeeeerrrrrrrr 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[Russ]

Bonner has the best set shot since Red Klotz.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, save some of those for the postseason.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

7 for freakin 7!!! Holy shit! :wow

[BillMc]

For all the haters, games like these are why Pop keeps Bonner around.

[boutons_deux]

Bonner out of his head!

Last time I remember a Spur making 7 3Gs was Bruce eliminating the Lakers in LA in '03.

[Ice009]

Welcome the fuck back mr matt bonner!

[HarlemHeat37]

http://foodcourtlunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bonnerlicious.JPG

[c whata11]

i love the super slo-mo duncan dunk H-E-B comercial

[GSH]

Have the fans started filing out yet? Bonner just told them this one is over.

[Cessation]

I have a big BONNER


lol me too

[ducks]

spurs are 10-18 from downtown

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I know someone who should get a A+ in TiMVP's grades. Bonner kept us in the game, and he is closing it out as well.

Someone give this guy a pay raise for 4 more years.

[Nathan89]

Everybody on the bench showing Bonner love and Bonner trying to play it cool.

Love how Tim get happy for his teammates.

[4down]

I want whatever sandwich that SOB had today

[Chomag]

Splitter better learn how to shoot the three-pointer or else we will never see him again.:lol

[ShoogarBear]

For all the haters, games like these are why Pop keeps Bonner around.

Yeah, now all we need are games like this in May.

[maddnezz]
