Game Blog: Thunder @ Spurs - Feb. 4

[GSH]

Feed the guy with the hot hand!!! Kawhi is kicking ass tonight.

[Juggity]

Fuck yes, Leonard!

[loveforthegame]

Come on Duncan.

[Obstructed_View]

KL, bitches.

[bklynspursfan]

And a f**king foul!!!

[ace3g]

whatever Chip told Kawhi today worked for his shot, the need arc is there, considering he has similar form to Finley, the mechanics aren't that bad.

[Mal]

3s are raining

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol u can put money that Pop didn't like that three by Kawhi!

[Obstructed_View]

Where's Bonner's foul?

[GB20]

hahahahah

[bklynspursfan]

Great Movement!!!

[Mal]

Oh mama

[loveforthegame]

Leonard: 13pts, 3rbs, 3as

[GSH]

Kawhi with the great feed. RJ can hit a 3 when he's that wide open.

[Mal]

Bavetta again :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

i thought KL was meant to keep DURANT under 40pts?

[Libri]

OKC with crappy perimeter defense lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard playing great

[Obstructed_View]

Seriously, I'm rooting for a broken hip at this point.

[bklynspursfan]

I really hope Parker keeps up his play in the 2nd half

[mystargtr34]

Damn Kawhi... need to contest.. even if KD has space on you.

[GB20]

come on parker!!

[Mal]

What Parker is trying to prove ? I love it

[Fireball]

its raining threes ... sadly its layup drill on the other end

[GB20]

we need to score

[GSH]

Just make sure you take the last shot now, even if you don't get a shot off. 10 points is enough.

[loveforthegame]

Let's hope it's a tale of two halves for Duncan tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao no foul.... Wow

[Mal]

Too fast for Bavetta`s eye

[Obstructed_View]

Does it make sense to put Bonner in for an offensive substitution when Leonard's shooting well?

[Obstructed_View]

Oh my fucking god.

[Capt Bringdown]

down goes parker!

[loveforthegame]

:depressed

[blkroadrunners]

Solid 1st half. TP and Leonard were great.

[Robz4000]

Parker's fine

[GSH]

Does it make sense to put Bonner in for an offensive substitution when Leonard's shooting well?

Not to me. When you've got a guy with a hot hand, you feed him. I just don't get that.

[jag]

Parker just trying to get the same BS foul calls the Thunder rely on to have any semblance of offense.

[Obstructed_View]

Timmy really needs to stop trying to go to the bucket.

[GB20]

well i take the ten points lead with out ginobli

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs usually come out strong in the third at home. They're gonna need it.

[Reck]

In another note, Jeremy Lin of the Knicks has Melo looking like a below average player. lmao

[Fireball]

Solid 1st half. TP and Leonard were great.

57-47 against the the team with the best (road) record is not just solid, its great ... hope we can keep it up

[tim_duncan_fan]

We are gonna crash pretty hard and lose by 15.

I hate when we shoot 3s well because they start thinking we can rely on it and get lazy.

We lose by 15 because the threes stop falling.



I wish Tim would stop being predictable and make some shots down low.

[Warlord23]

Bavetta putting OKC on his shoulders, keeping the game within reach

[MannyIsGod]

I swear the OKC commentators make me want to punch a baby they are SO bad.

[NASpurs]

Tim needs to shoot that fucking banker instead of trying to take it to the hole. He's been getting his shot blocked or has been turning the ball over.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony with a great 1st half

[TDMVPDPOY]

Timmy really needs to stop trying to go to the bucket.

he reg hits the 18ft, teams are darin him to shoot, but why does he love to drive it to the lane for his pansy weak ass attempts?

[mystargtr34]

KD has scored almost all of his jumpers on one play.. need to cut off the lane when he comes around that screen and catches the ball.

[loveforthegame]

Parker and Leonard really carried the team. Nice contributions from Neal, Green, Splitter too.

The rest need to step it up.

[NASpurs]

We are gonna crash pretty hard and lose by 15.

I hate when we shoot 3s well because they start thinking we can rely on it and get lazy.

We lose by 15 because the threes stop falling.


Thanks, now I can turn off the TV.

[Mal]

In another note, Jeremy Lin of the Knicks has Melo looking like a below average player. lmao

Da fak is wrong with Knicks ? Jeremy Lin high score, Shumpert taking 20 shots in couple games

[Fireball]

Timmy really needs to stop trying to go to the bucket.

yeah, he can still shit on frontcourts like against the Hornets, but against stronger ones he should pick and pop all night long

again I am pissed about Splitter playing just 8 minutes

[mystargtr34]

Blair 13 mins
Bonner 11 mins
Tiago 8 mins

Its like Pop just forgets Tiago is on the team.. fucking annoying :lol

[Reck]

We are gonna crash pretty hard and lose by 15.

I hate when we shoot 3s well because they start thinking we can rely on it and get lazy.

I wish Tim would stop being predictable and make some shots down low.

That's the spirit.

Now go tell them how the game should be play coach..

[WeNeedLength]

Thanks, now I can turn off the TV.

:lmao

[GSH]

Only 5 OKC players scored in the first half. They aren't going to win like that.

[Obstructed_View]

he reg hits the 18ft, teams are darin him to shoot, but why does he love to drive it to the lane for his pansy weak ass attempts?

They don't dare him to shoot so much anymore because it's a good shot. Duncan's smart enough to work for a good shot, and at this stage in his career, that means moving the ball for the most part. 4 down wasn't really an effective offense five years ago.

[Fireball]

Go Cavs

[SpursRock20]

i swear the okc commentators make me want to punch a baby they are so bad.

+1

[ducks]

parker is fully engaged in this game he wants a w you can tell

[Mal]

+1

Recently listened Memphis duo. They are retarded.

[wildbill2u]

Keep Ibaka out of the paint. He blocked 10 shots in one game recently.

[Obstructed_View]

yeah, he can still shit on frontcourts like against the Hornets, but against stronger ones he should pick and pop all night long

again I am pissed about Splitter playing just 8 minutes

And Timmy's gonna have his nights where he's on, and I have no problem with him shooting when he's feeling it. I even understand if he loathes any drawn up play for a 3 out of a timeout. He was way too far from the basket to be picking it up like that, no matter who the frontcourt is.

[Fireball]

Recently listened Memphis duo. They are retarded.

do not forget the Houston guys ... Drexler is as horrible

[GSH]

They don't dare him to shoot so much anymore because it's a good shot. Duncan's smart enough to work for a good shot, and at this stage in his career, that means moving the ball for the most part. 4 down wasn't really an effective offense five years ago.


But Pop loved it, didn't he? I can't count the times they let teams back into games by jamming 4 Down over and over again.

[Mal]

do not forget the Houston guys ... Drexler is as horrible

I liked Phila duo , with Malik Rose.

[Fireball]

Keep Ibaka out of the paint. He blocked 10 shots in one game recently.

but he regressed offensively, did he? think he played much better last two seasons on offense

[bklynspursfan]

Recently listened Memphis duo. They are retarded.

Thunder announcers take the cake

[bklynspursfan]

do not forget the Houston guys ... Drexler is as horrible

Yes!!

[Fireball]

I liked Phila duo , with Malik Rose.

was it Malik last night against the Heat? yeah that announcing team was alright ... Clippers are the best

[bklynspursfan]

Come on Cavs hold on to the lead!

[bklynspursfan]

Beautful move by Irving!!

[Obstructed_View]

But Pop loved it, didn't he? I can't count the times they let teams back into games by jamming 4 Down over and over again.


There are a lot of things that work in small doses that Pop unfortunately wore out, including 4 down. It's probably difficult to tell Duncan that he's holding the ball too much; I frankly don't know if anyone has the right to even say it to him. It really grinds down the offense now that he gets doubled once in a blue moon an he sits there waiting for it.


:lol Cavs.

[maverick1948]

Have ya'll noticed the big man rotation tonight? Timmy on the court with Bonner and Blair. Tiago on the court with Bonner and Blair. But Tiago and Timmy not together in the first half. Seems like Pop wants to keep one of the on the floor at all times. Folks, I have a feeling we are going to see a 3rd quarter like the first 2, but somewhere about the 6 min mark, I think we see Duncan and Splitter together. That is unless we jump on the Thunder and put this one away early.

[Fireball]

Come on Cavs hold on to the lead!

done

[GSH]

NO losing to Detroit. That's sort of a big game in the race for ping pong balls. That's gonna give the Hornets the tiebreaker. Sort of like losing two games in one.

[silverblk mystix]

Fuckhead coach can't play Tiago more than Blair or Bonner...it would make too much sense...

[Mal]

was it Malik last night against the Heat? yeah that announcing team was alright ... Clippers are the best

Dont know. Recently didnt have time to watch as many NBA as I want. But Malik Rose is in 76ers crew, and I liked them, when I had occasion

[TDMVPDPOY]

i read the houston wolves game, love stomp on scolas face....

[Mal]

Lol , dallas lost to cavs

[Fireball]

I booked two wins of the Spurs against the Cavs this season ... maybe its not gonna be that easy

[Mal]

Lol 70 mil trio`s ass saved by chinease guy from Harvard

[SpursRock20]

That's what we need from Tim tonight. 1 more Parker!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job DB

[Obstructed_View]

They're gonna chase Parker on those pick and rolls.

[Tuddy]

Gotta stop KD getting jumpers from within 10 feet

[bklynspursfan]

God it kills me Blair can't finish around guys bigger than him so much it's frustrating

[Obstructed_View]

Stupid foul by RJ.

[SpursRock20]

I booked two wins of the Spurs against the Cavs this season ... maybe its not gonna be that easy

If we have Manu back for both of the games, they both will be W's. Manu lights up the Cavs.

[Ice009]

starters with low energy again.

[Obstructed_View]

God it kills me Blair can't finish around guys bigger than him so much it's frustrating

He used to jump, right? When he was in college and stuff? Sure seems like I remember that he did.

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao Timmy knew he wasn't finishing that

[SpursRock20]

DAMN TIM! Must have a short memory.

[GSH]

Get another quick one on Ibaka and sit him for a while.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yest TD, attack hard

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, Timmy driving like it's 1999.

[Obstructed_View]

Get another quick one on Ibaka and sit him for a while.

That may be what they're trying to do.

Damn, Kawhi is getting killed by Durant's first step.

[GSH]

Normally I hate the double foul bullshit. That's 4 on Durant.

[SpursRock20]

Westbrook has a very low BB IQ.

[bklynspursfan]

He used to jump, right? When he was in college and stuff? Sure seems like I remember that he did.

Yea he did. He has no explosiveness.

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao Westbrook is a clown

[Mal]

because of westbrick, Durant wont get his 1st ring soon

[Obstructed_View]

:lol Ndamukong Westbrook.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with 5 assists. :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony killing

[Obstructed_View]

Guess Parker got sick of waiting for an assist.

[SpursRock20]

Parker>Westbrook

[Mal]

Parker passed Avery in assist , yet ?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP completely shitting on Westbrook

[Fireball]

Spurs rule ... Westbrooks sucks ... don't know how a humble guy like Durant can't stand him

[Obstructed_View]

Parker passed Avery in assist , yet ?

One more to tie, two to pass I think.

[Fireball]

Kawhi has 5 Ast ... good stuff

[Mal]

Spurs rule ... Westbrooks sucks ... don't know how a humble guy like Durant can't stand him

Because he is too classy to make shit like Howard.

[GSH]

One more to tie, two to pass I think.

I want him to get it in a winning effort.

[Mal]

One more to tie, two to pass I think.

Cause I`m watching it with polish commentary , and they dont tell such things

[benefactor]

OKC is going to regret that contract extension.

[Fireball]

still hate Bavetta

[Obstructed_View]

If Parker gets a breakaway will he dunk it? I say yes.

[SpursRock20]

Thunders announcers finally figured out that the Spurs aren't old lol

[Obstructed_View]

lol Westbrook tried to jump into Parker.

[Mal]

Thunders announcers finally figured out that the Spurs aren't old lol

:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit RJ gotta hit those easy ones

[GSH]

RJ robbing Tony of that assist. Wiiiide open.

[bklynspursfan]

Perkins is a bitch

[Mal]

Rj...

[bklynspursfan]

OMG RJ!!!! That's 2!!!

[jag]

Damn it richard

[benefactor]

RJ shitting on Parker.

[Trainwreck2100]

parker needs t stop passing it to rj

[SpursRock20]

Go sit on the bench RJ. Bench players are funner to watch tonight anyway.

[Warlord23]

Get Leonard in there

[Obstructed_View]

Damn it, RJ.

[GSH]

RJ wiiide open again. Missed again. And he didn't even stay behind the 3p line.

[Mal]

wow, cant hit for assist

[benefactor]

Duncan just can't find the range tonight.

[SpursRock20]

This should be a 20+ lead.

[bklynspursfan]

3 assists down the toilet for TP smh

[GSH]

To hell with assists, Tony. Just shoot it.

[jag]

Tony is carrying this team

[bklynspursfan]

There you go TP.. No one else is hitting shit

[Obstructed_View]

Parker's doing his part. SOmeone just needs to hit a damn shot.

[Juggity]

Tony's been huge so far this game

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs not running hard on the break with Parker. Fuck.

[SpursRock20]

Best game of the year for Tony thus far!

[GSH]

Parker's doing his part. SOmeone just needs to hit a damn shot.

Ummm... that would be Tony.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shit parker god mode

[bklynspursfan]

Tp!!

[benefactor]

Parker approaching god mode.

[GSH]

Fitting that it was Timmy!!!

[Robz4000]

Congrats Parker!!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

There you go!!!

[ace3g]

TP to TD for the Spurs assist record!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Parker just missed KL wide open.

[Mal]

Great Tony Parker

[benefactor]

holy shit parker god mode
:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Much better Timmy hitting it than RJ TBH

[easy7]

Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

[Libri]

:worthy: TP!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP to TD for the record!!!!!!!!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Whoops my feed got behind. There it is. Now we're live.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I hate you sometimes, but congratulations, TP!

[Fireball]

TP could have had that assist with an alley oop to Kawhi ... anyways ... one of the best games of TP in recent memory

[jag]

Tony Parker: Greatest PG in Spurs history.

[TDomination]

I love that it was Timmy hitting the shot for the assist record

[SpursRock20]

Great stuff Tony! In the spotlight... literally

[easy7]

:flag::flag::flag:

[Mugen]

Congrats TP!!!!

[GB20]

keep it up tony

[Mal]

Duncan chasing Parker

[Obstructed_View]

Great, now that it's out of the way, they can relax and win the game.

[loveforthegame]

Congrats to Parker. :tu

His best game by far this season.

[Nathan Explosion]

Tony Parker: Greatest PG in Spurs history.

I think Parker sealed that deal with 2007 Finals MVP.

[SpursRock20]

I have never seen such a skilled point guard kill possensions for his team like Westbrook does.

[GB20]

yeah baby

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard playing fantastic D in the 3rd

[Juggity]

Danny Green!!

[timtonymanu]

Damn we are killing these guys!

[jag]

I hope Westbrook goes into his usual chucking/stats-mode

[loveforthegame]

What a game. Hard to believe after that crap start.

[SpursRock20]

they shut off the lights in the arena and shone a spotlight on parker?


The shone a spotlight on him and brought the camera right to him so ya pretty much :lol

[Libri]

Go Green. It's good for the environment.

[Obstructed_View]

If there's a way for the Thunder to come back, Bavetta looks determined to find it.

[jag]

I think Parker sealed that deal with 2007 Finals MVP.

He sealed that shit a long time ago... people just forget

[easy7]

Da beard...

[GB20]

oh mama

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao TP is playing amazing.

[Mal]

Parker literally shitting on those Thunder

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner padding his assists.

[loveforthegame]

Parker is unreal tonight. My goodness.

[Juggity]

Tony Parker cannot be stopped!

[Obstructed_View]

Parker literally shitting on those Thunder

No.

[jag]

:lmao Westbrook's frog lookin ass

[SpursRock20]

Go sit on the bench Westbrook.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Did Westbrook talk shit about Parker's mom or Eva or something, cuz Parker looks like he has been personally insulted and won't give up until he gets revenge.

[GSH]

Westbrook losing his cool. Million dollar stroke, and a five-cent head.

[easy7]

Thunder getting frustrated...

[Obstructed_View]

Westbrook just melting down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony dominating

[Mal]

Westbrook is stupid. Parker got his night, and this clown want to prove something, he cannot, to guy so hot in his night in franchise history

[timtonymanu]

Has a Spur scored 30 points this year yet? Tony may be the first.

[Fireball]

Thunder remain a good matchup for the Spurs ... first game was a fluke

[Warlord23]

Parker making Westbrook his woman

[SpursRock20]

lol at some of the S/T posters who are saying this team should tank. I know it's just one game, but we are beating arguably the best team in the league by 20 without our best player and a back up point guard.

[GSH]

STILL only 5 OKC players have scored tonight. That's a W.

[Spurs9]

:lmao Westbrook is a little bitch, no mental toughness

:lol

[Mal]

30 pts, 8 assists and no turnover

[mystargtr34]

Beautiful D Tiago.. dont have to block the shot jut force the miss. Harden always draws fouls or finishes those Manu-like drives

[SpursRock20]

Parker not letting up

[Reck]

lol at some of the S/T posters who are saying this team should tank. I know it's just one game, but we are beating arguably the best team in the league by 20 without our best player and a back up point guard.

Spurs usually do great against this team.

Every Spurs win against this team is a blowout. At least the ones that I've seen were.

[Obstructed_View]

Leonard's ability to close out on three point shooters is his most impressive trait.

[BoricuaCJA]

I love Tony's aggression tonight!

[SpursRock20]

dont let our record fool with ginoboli out, there was at leasts 4 games in that stretch which were automatic wins until pop played ming games with himself

Your preachin' to the choir man.

[easy7]

Its raining 3s

[jag]

I'm loving Tiago's passing out of the post.

[GSH]

Bonner was running back on D before that ball was halfway to the rim.

[Juggity]

Holy shit, this is crazy. We can't miss.

[Mal]

Keep it going, kill them

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago passing is great

[Obstructed_View]

Splitter to Bonner is becoming a pretty lethal connection.

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter and Bonner have developped great chemistry..

[Fireball]

Splitter trusts Bonner ... can somebody please trust Splitter and give him the ball in the post

[Mal]

Lol, Rj apologizing for this missed FG ?

[Mal]

Splitter could be sitting on chair , and still got blocking foul

[Obstructed_View]

I'm seriously not understanding what constitutes a foul tonight.

[SpursRock20]

KD and Harden going to make this game closer than it really is.

[easy7]

Shitting ending to 3rd quarter

[Robz4000]

Shit, it's beginning

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thunder not done yet.. don't breathe now

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck last 90 seconds

[GB20]

tiago is playing soft tonight

[loveforthegame]

Not the best finish to the quarter. Need to come out strong and weather this run by the Thunder.

[Obstructed_View]

In what universe is Bonner defending Durant 40 feet from the hoop a good idea?

[timtonymanu]

Damn they let them cut it under 20.

[Trainwreck2100]

well that ending sucked

[jag]

Tiago's rushing his offense. He feels like he has to try to get some kind of offense going every time he touches the ball because he knows he won't get it back.

[Obstructed_View]

tiago is playing soft tonight

He had someone wide open in the corner and decided to go one on three. That's not soft, it's just not smart.

[Fireball]

tiago is playing soft tonight

he rushed it twice ... last time he did not have much choice though

[Nathan Explosion]

KD and Harden going to make this game closer than it really is.

Leonard playing a hell of a game on defense. But the 4th is coming up, and this is winning time. The Spurs need to start strong and force KD, Westbrook and Harden to the bench for good.

[MI21]

This is where I absolutely can't stand Pop's decisions sometimes.

OKC are nearly gone... you go into that 4th quarter up 24, sustain the play for about 3 mins into the 4th and this game is over, OKC pull there big guns... Instead he gives Tony unneccessary rest.

Keep him out there knowing that more than likely, keeping him out there know will lead to him not having to play the last 8 minutes.

Drives me crazy.

[GB20]

we have to be careful

[SpursRock20]

And now we have to play Parker again. He deserves the rest of the night off. We let off the gas just a bit too soon.

[Fpoonsie]

Tha fuck is Gary doing?

[easy7]

Parker!!!!

[GB20]

good job tiago

[Obstructed_View]

Parker en feu.
