Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - March 16 8:30 PM CT

[bklynspursfan]

Late whistle!!!

[noles1983]

blair why try to go up with that?

[timtonymanu]

Here comes the home cooking!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck
fuck
fuck

[$pursDynasty]

these refs need to be investigated

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck nothing is going the spurs way

[ElNono]

they're going to be in the bonus in like 2 mins

[Crookshanks]

These refs are doing their best to give the game to OKC. It's really getting ridiculous!

[loveforthegame]

Late call.

Spurs scrambling and getting sloppy.

[bklynspursfan]

Yea.. My stomach feels like Tiagos

[Brazil]

we need tim back asap

[noles1983]

17-4 run you fucking mental midgets

[rasho8]

Tony needs o score, not bitch.

[Texas_Ranger]

morons...

[wut]

8 on 5 out there.

[bklynspursfan]

God dam get Timmy in there already

[ElNono]

where's tim?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Son of a bitch.....

[noles1983]

spurs playing like what is evacuating splitters bowels

[carina_gino20]

wtf am i watching? stop the bleeding, timmy.

[Libri]

:madrun

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck stop leaving them open.. bad defense

[Mal]

Another loss added to Spurs record

[bklynspursfan]

What a fucking joke. Neal leaving his man

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Melt down time

[ElNono]

lol defense

[timtonymanu]

Who the fuck is Royal Ivey?

That was a crap lineup to start the 4th. Spurs need to relax.

[loveforthegame]

Miami meltdown all over again.

[$pursDynasty]

another run come on Pop, I am hoping Timmy coming in can calm them down

[rasho8]

Why the fuck are we leaving people wide the fuck open on the three point line?

[Uriel]

*sigh* We knew this was coming.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Let Westbrook shoot all the 3s he likes. Bad decision maker in the 4th.

Glad Tim is back.

[Brazil]

okc comin' back strong

[Creation88]

fuck matt bonner. that fucking puto throws a ball away and turns the moment. i hate that fucking bitch.

[Quiet Strength]

Another loss added to Spurs record

lol what a loser

[Sense]

Stupid, stupid mistakes.... Wow...

[ElNono]

zebras with a big hand for them here... Tony getting mugged every posession

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why does this always happen?

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[Texas_Ranger]

great choke.

[noles1983]

20-4 run = deserved loss. Would have rather gotten blown out from the get go

[DMC]

Gonna be a close game if we don't get stomped. We haven't gone cold, we've gotten in a hurry on our shots.
Yeah I said it.

[siraulo23]

bullshit

[Capt Bringdown]

Case in point on why Blair's bi-annual Beast games are fool's gold

[007nites]

Crowd is effecting the play of our guys

[Barfunk]

Big time choke

[Mugen]

lol the meltdown came kinda late this time but bon bon made sure it'd go down with that turnover late in the 3rd.

[Crookshanks]

Oh man - this feels like it's getting away from the Spurs. A 20-4 run, come on guys - you're better than that.

That 3-shot foul at the end of the 3rd seemed to really change the momentum. I really hope the Spurs can rally and withstand this run and pull out a win.

[HarlemHeat37]

This is where the Spurs miss Manu, they need somebody to quiet the crowd and momentum, Parker can't do it alone..

Blair had a great 1st 3 quarters, looks like the law of averages is kicking in..

Hopefully Tim can play a solid quarter and the Spurs can make a few 3s out of the timeout..

[Reck]

Why the fuck are we leaving people wide the fuck open on the three point line?

We haven't stopped.

Spurs are always late on their man. Thunder have been open all night long.

[GB20]

we need to come out strong from this timeout

[bklynspursfan]

Come out of the TO get a basket and a stop.

[TDomination]

*sigh* We knew this was coming.

with a 27 pt lead I felt nervous, and this was the reason why.

okc is a good team, we need to play solid basketball for 10min.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And there's the third run to make it a close game, just as I predicted at the end of the 1st Q. Now it's nail-biting all the way.

[Johnny RIngo]

Why the fuck are we leaving people wide the fuck open on the three point line?

They've been doing it all year.

[Sense]

They need to stop making stupid mistakes, and come back play good defense and slow the tempo.

[ElNono]

tbh, this is when an MVP stands up...

[noles1983]

Who the fuck is Royal Ivey?

That was a crap lineup to start the 4th. Spurs need to relax.

nothing to see here, just another scrub going off against the spurs

[Brazil]

OKC is not one of the top league for nothing they did that a lot this season

[intlspurshk]

it all started from stupid bonner play causing the lead to slip and his missing rotation open perimeter shot by OKC

[Mugen]

if we lose the game, point to no other than Bonner's turnover up 15 late in the 3rd as the turning point.

[spyder]

Wtf!!!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Well, fuck.

[DeadlyDynasty]

spurs got this

[ducks]

spurs need sj now

[DMC]

Thunder just doing to us what we did to them. It still comes down to who closes. Momentum, unless it goes into the double digits, won't do it.

[siraulo23]

turnovers to start the 4th killing the spurs

[Brazil]

we knew it was going to be a close game

[loveforthegame]

OKC does this all the time.

What a letdown by the Spurs.

[Spurtacus]

smart spurs fan saw this coming. Blowing needs our mo

[Nathan89]

Blair showing his true colors.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Not feeling good about this tbh

[Capt Bringdown]

Tim needs to step up

[Crookshanks]

We could really use Stephen Jackson tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

Seriously.. Now Green misses

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Of course

[noles1983]

27 point lead you win....period

Nut the fuck up you pieces of shit

[bklynspursfan]

Sorry' but we're done I think

[Mal]

27 points lead is just about to be blown

[Texas_Ranger]

sorry but this is over...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why does this always happen?

It doesn't against poor teams, but when it does it's because shooting %s even up, and great teams make multiple runs during a game, even when down big. Momentum swings are integral to the nature of basketball.

[lefty]

rofloppouurlesdokdwefadgjkhaenlvlanp

[Nathan89]

Please post duncan up again.

[Brazil]

I love Leonard

[Libri]

big shot by Green

[ace3g]

big shot from Green

[rasho8]

Finally

[bklynspursfan]

Fina-fucking-lee

[noles1983]

thats what a spurs basket looks like

[bklynspursfan]

Caught another fucking break

[Mal]

Danny Greeeen

[Libri]

Green again!!

[ace3g]

go Green!!! Recycle that 3!!!

[Crookshanks]

Refs really changed the momentum of this game, along with a little help from Matt Bonner. This is sad to watch - and soooooo nerve-wracking!

Thank you Danny Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robz4000]

Thank you Green!

[Nathan89]

We could really use Stephen Jackson tonight.

Or Manu.

Green33333333333333333333333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yeah Green

[Uriel]

Oh yeah!

[bklynspursfan]

Green you son of a bitch. Thank you

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This feels like a pre-vision of the WCFs to me.

We've missed Splitter and Manu.

[lefty]

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenish

[$pursDynasty]

Timmy and the time out calmed things down

[007nites]

Green redeeming himself

[Brazil]

Thank you Green !

[timtonymanu]

Green coming up big. Finally.

And :lol at some of the cliff-jumpers on here. Ruff called it.

[carina_gino20]

Danny Green!

[TDomination]

huge shots, GREEN!!!!

[ducks]

green has balls

[jjktkk]

There yea go Danny!

[midnightpulp]

What stupid fucking team. 26 point lead all for jackshit

[024]

where are the green haters now bitches??

[rasho8]

Jesus back to Spurs basketball. Thank you for remembering what a good pass is.

[roycrikside]

Big shots for Green. We're probably gonna need 115 pts, so 18 more.

[loveforthegame]

Green with a couple huge baskets.

[bklynspursfan]

go Green!!! Recycle that 3!!!


Nice one :lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Big miss by Durant!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manu20]

Green showing some cojones!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ballsy, Neal-style shooting by Danny.

[noles1983]

Tiago isnt the only one shitting on the thunder, green says take that bitches

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

This feels like a pre-vision of the WCFs to me.

We've missed Splitter and Manu.


And Jefferson :ihit

[Mal]

Name 5 best Spurs ? 3 of them are not playing, yet still game could be won

[roycrikside]

Have Westbrook and Durant played the entire second half?

[Bill_Brasky]

DG with the gigantic nuts.....that was huge.

Finally shut that damn crowd up.

[Sense]

Spurs are doing great, but that CLOCK seems like it's not moving :lol

[JRHernandez88]

Green is wet!

[ElNono]

kawhi making shit happen... no ghost there!

[bklynspursfan]

I know i'm flip flopping like dwight here (just said we're done) but if we get a stop and another basket, we might be able to hang on

[ducks]

thunder and spurs for right to respresent west in finals

[Quiet Strength]

What stupid fucking team. 26 point lead all for jackshit

Yup but we all knew OKC would make a run.

[ducks]

where are the green haters now bitches??

sj is better

[$pursDynasty]

where are the green haters now bitches??
They are with the Blair haters hiding in shame but have no fear they will be back :p:

[Uriel]

Wow, that "horrible at Math" ad keeps haunting me. I'm terrified it might turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[DMC]

Like I said, it's going to come down to closing, and the Spurs are great closers normally. We don't normally close with the 3, but drives to the rim and allow them to shoot themselves out of the game. Hard to do with Durant, but if we can get it going and push them, we might get some space.

[ElNono]

lol blackberry hipster commercial

[spurs1990]

Danny Green has become the Stephen Jackson of this team.

[DMC]

We'll have 2 chicken pot pies.

[Sense]

There's still 8 fucking minutes left, don't celebrate just yet.

[wut]

Refs really changed the momentum of this game, along with a little help from Matt Bonner. This is sad to watch - and soooooo nerve-wracking!

Thank you Danny Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear you there, it just starts a little here and there and then it got outta hand where thunder were pushing every play and getting away with it, next thing you know lead is disappearing and they make some big shots.

[ducks]

where is blair

[$pursDynasty]

I'll give durant that, that was good defense

[bklynspursfan]

Have Westbrook and Durant played the entire second half?

Each are at 34 mins with 8 mins to go. I'd say yes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Green coming up big. Finally.

And :lol at some of the cliff-jumpers on here. Ruff called it.

;)

I called it all the way today. Knew they'd make 2-3 runs at us (they made 3), knew it'd be close in the 4th, knew the cliff-jumpers would be out in force, primarily because they don't understand basketball from a systemic, big-picture perspective.

[Brazil]

stupid foul harden

[rasho8]

Make the free throws please

[Crookshanks]

I really, really, really hate Westbrook. 32 points already tonight. And now Durant is starting to heat up. Spurs gotta stay focused and play defense.

[timtonymanu]

There's still 8 fucking minutes left, don't celebrate just yet.

True but people shouldn't be melting down either.

[Texas_Ranger]

good that espn can show that durant basket 10 times...

[noles1983]

lol at the health of manu being a difference from last year. wtf?

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts killing us.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Bonner come on!!!

[rasho8]

What th fuck do you get paid for bonner?

[Brazil]

Bonner as usual

[Texas_Ranger]

playoff mode on for Matt

[ducks]

Where is blair

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner missing clutch shots like usual

[loveforthegame]

Damn Bonnet.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damnit Bonner

[Libri]

:bang

[Mal]

Wow

[timtonymanu]

Of course Bonner misses that shot

[$pursDynasty]

dang timmy

[ace3g]

Bonner can't hit a big 3 from top of the key, and gets scored on even though he should have been first back

recycle that 3!!!

[Robz4000]

Green bailing out the Spurs.

[noles1983]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Danny green my lord

[rasho8]

Take bonner out. Fuck

[timtonymanu]

Green baby!!!

[Libri]

The Green Lantern!

[bklynspursfan]

Green has been HUGE

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Danny Fucking Green!

[007nites]

Green!

[Crookshanks]

Damn turnovers! But Green comes to the rescue again. Thanks!!!

[lefty]

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeen

[loveforthegame]

Green has been a lifesaver.

[carina_gino20]

Greeen!!!

[Brazil]

Green again !

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TOs leading to transiton buckets are killing us this year.

[bklynspursfan]

Ibaka and perkins on the bench

[noles1983]

i would pay someone to shave that hobo beard of hardens

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bullshit charge. You can't call a charge when the guy steps under someone already in the air!!!

[$pursDynasty]

I don't know Blair might need to come in for Ginger

[bklynspursfan]

Green playing like the beginning of the yr

[Mal]

Bonner ....

[bklynspursfan]

Wow... That's horrible

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What a Bullshit call

[loveforthegame]

Bonnet you jackass.

[ElNono]

fucking refs

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner kill yourself!!

[Quiet Strength]

Bonner sucks.. whats new

[$pursDynasty]

these refs are on the take that was far from a foul

[Brazil]

:lmao ref

[timtonymanu]

Bonner is such a fucking idiot tonight.

[wut]

Collison literally grabbing tim with 2 hands and they argue the call and then get a makeup call, unbelievable, these refs.

[Crookshanks]

It looked like Collison was still moving on that charge call against Green. And now Bonner - come on Spurs - stop with the stupid fouls!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner sucks

[ace3g]

big shot from TP

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Refs trying to give this to OKC.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tp!

[Rain318]

ugh no rebounding is killing us
we've gone cold ._.

[manufan10]

I don't get that offensive foul on Green.. He was up in the air when Collison slid under him.

[noles1983]

:pop: " you space the floor on offense, not defense"

[bklynspursfan]

Man I HATE this

[Spurtacus]

Bonner sucks and these refs suck

[Mal]

Mvp ! Mvp !

[bklynspursfan]

TP thank you

[Rain318]

hells yes Tp

[Libri]

TP with nothing but net.

[ace3g]

TP again

[Crookshanks]

Spurs are hanging tough - but there's still waaaaay too much time left.

[TDomination]

Yeah MVP Parker!

[$pursDynasty]

mvp mvp mvp tp

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Son of a bitch

[bklynspursfan]

That would've been a foul on us

[rasho8]

Wtf pass it.

[Crookshanks]

Oh crap - if that was on the other end, it would've been a foul against the Spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Ugh.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow

[$pursDynasty]

wow Tony can't get a call tonight

[timtonymanu]

Thank God Westbrook is a stupid chucker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ivey playing superb defense.

[noles1983]

can what we play even be called defense?

[bklynspursfan]

Great rebounding there

[ace3g]

damn if Kawhi gets that putback dunk, but keeps it alive for Timmy!!

[rasho8]

Beautiful stuff from Kawhi.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Yes!

[Crookshanks]

The Spurs finally get a break.

[bklynspursfan]

We're like 2 stops away from taking this thing home

[007nites]

vintage timmy with the putback

[ducks]

has booner did anything this 4 quarter

[Brazil]

In this game of game you like to have tim on your team

[Crookshanks]

Damn - stop with the whistles already!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

has booner did anything this 4 quarter

nothing good...

[loveforthegame]

Longest 2:45 of my life.

[$pursDynasty]

we get the tick tack calls on us but they can hit Spurs with folding chairs and don't get a foul

[TDomination]

This is PLAYOFF basketball right here. Can the Spurs pull out the win

[Capt Bringdown]

First basket from Duncan in loonnng time

[timtonymanu]

Damn this quarter is going by so slow. Typical in these nail biters.

[rasho8]

has booner did anything this 4 quarter

Yeah a lot. Missed open 3s, stupid fouls, couple of retarded turnovers.

[Mugen]

there is not one fucking reason while that ginger piece of shit should be in the game. Not one.

[Manu20]

Is this late May?? :toast

[Quiet Strength]

has booner did anything this 4 quarter

He's helped OKC make a run :bang

[ElNono]

Why is Matt out there? Just bring back blair

[Uriel]

Longest 2:45 of my life.

ikr. :lol

[Brazil]

has booner did anything this 4 quarter

nope he is too busy sucking

[Sense]

Bonner has done nothing but bad things for the Spurs this quarter, everything... I don't know why Blair's not in there with Duncan, I understand the spacing, but c'mon.

[JRHernandez88]

what a badass game! Love the aggresiveness from kawhi but get bonner the fuck outa there! damn

[Spurs Brazil]

Get a stop now

[timtonymanu]

This is the one game where it makes sense to have Blair end the game. Put him back in, Pop.

[Rain318]

our players are getting molested in the paint, the whistles only work on okc's side of the floor we gotta fight through this. This would be a huge win for us
