Pop's got to go with a defensive lineup to hold on.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow...what a relief.
I had to go to work after the 3rd, & now I just sneaked a peek at the score.
Glory days, happy, happy, happy!
I love the Spurs.

[BRHornet45]

[lefty]

SHit, manu playing like 2005

[RashoFan]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[MannyIsGod]

Manu just in vintage form tonight. After the first part of the first quarter I could never have envisioned.

[ballhog]

Manu pissing off the Thunder!!!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Hell yes. Manu is deadly when he attacks.

[Uriel]

Manu Ginobili -- the sleeping giant has AWOKEN.

[loveforthegame]

Got damn Ginobili!!

[DPG21920]

Big funking basket by Manu. HUGE.

[siraulo23]

okc can epxlode

[Jumi]

Welcome back Manu!!!!

[timvp]

Manure Ginobili is Nastay :smokin

[slick'81]

barkely going to go ape shit

[Crookshanks]

And just that quick - Thunder cuts the lead in half. But then Super Manu rushes to the rescue! Woo Hoo!

[Otaku]

When SUPER MANU is ACTIVATED, he's better than MJ.

[$pursDynasty]

if I weren't a Spurs fan I'd cry travelling but since I am all I can say is SWEET or to quote Chuck, GINOBILLI!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu Ginobili

And I got my vbookie money. Thanks Manu

[spursfanincolorado]

Manu ending the game- 3 stops... GSG

[Kidd K]

Holy shit, Ginobili is fucking amazing tonight. Who the hell unleashed the beast? Whoever did it, THANK YOU KIND SIR.

If Ginobili is playing like Ginobili. . .the Thunder are fucked. Sorry to say it OKC fans.

[Budkin]

Fuck yeah Manu!!! I knew he'd come through!!!!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Manu doing work. I've been waiting for this all playoffs! That's the Manu we know and love!!!

[OZWIN]

Glad I betted Manu on that bookie tonight. Spurs have locked this one up unless OKC pulls a miracle.

[Fireball]

travelling by Manu ... but I take it

[ffadicted]

GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIii yessssss

[Supergirl]

Jax doing a great job on Durant.

Manu's layup should seal the game for the Spurs...

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

amazing, just amazing.

[Sisk]

Ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

harden*, meet the real 6th man.

[SpurPadre]

TP is the team's MVP this year but Manu is reminding everyone tonight he is STILL the most dynamic offensive player in the team, BAR NONE.

[Nathan89]

Lets go! Play some defense.

[NRHector]

we need one stop one fucking stop that's all i want just one stop

[therealtruth]

Good thing Manu showed up.

[100%duncan]

Please just put your hand in their faces. And execute,execute and Nasty!

[tlongII]

Spurs really picked up their defense in the 4th quarter. Impressive.

[joeSpurs]

Manu Ginobili >>>>>>>>>> Lionel Messi ???

[BRHornet45]

sons Erin B is gonna be on GINOBILI's "bald spot" by the time this series is over if he keeps stuntin' like this

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Not over yet. Gotta play tough defense.

[ballhog]

Kinda has elements of an ugly game but still way higher scoring than an Eastern conference game.

[ginobili fan]

Manu is God

[wut]

Manu is just wow.

[Brazil]

This game is SO important ! we need dat freaking win

[timtonymanu]

Just in time, Manu.

[MmP]

Welcome back Manu Ginobili

[Supergirl]

Just wait till game 2 when Danny Green gets over his rookie jitter and finds his shot again... OKC has no answers for the Spurs' offensive depth

[Kobayagi]

Wrote this at the end of 3rd, Spurs down by 9 pts and everyone here losing hope. :toast



Y'all need to fucking calm down. Spurs got this. Ginobili will save the day in the 4th, I'm absolutely positive.

[Quiet Strength]

Have the spurs been tested yet? lol

[Danny.Zhu]

Fisher in......

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In the prediction thread I said a number of times that Manu's been cruising so far in the playoffs but would wake up for this series because of his incredible competitive instincts and the challenge posed by Harden and the Thunder. We've seen the proof tonight! :D

[MannyIsGod]

Harden is no Manu.

So I guess the Spurs aren't tested still, right?

[maverick1948]

Why is Scott Brooks keeping Kendrick Perkins on the court? He is giving the Spurs easy layups.

[slick'81]

glad i changed my sig

[100%duncan]

Great goddamn win! Thanks for SuperGino!

[Manudona]

Manu Ginobili

And I got my vbookie money. Thanks Manu

Me too times 2 wit the win

[ballhog]

Yeah, first one to Spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

Ibaka was giving us huge trouble to finish at the rim. Brooks didn't play him in the 4th. Spurs with 36pts. Thanks Brooks

[jiggy_55]

Fuck all the doubters who thought the Spurs couldn't get this done in the 4th! Spurs basketball bitches!

[Chachachango]

well, great win after that awful third quarter.

[LakerLanny]

if I weren't a Spurs fan I'd cry travelling but since I am all I can say is SWEET or to quote Chuck, GINOBILLI!!!

He does it so smoothly that refs will let it go....Magic was allowed to do that stuff too.

[Fireball]

Spurs win ... 19th straight!!!

[Danny.Zhu]

Thank god we don't have Kobe on the team to choke the game.

[DPG21920]

Great response. They showed a lot to overcome a really poor start and 9 point deficit in the fourth.

[Russo21]

timmay!! manuuu!!

[maverick1948]

Steve Kerr says the Spurs wore down the Thunder in the 1st 3 quarters. Yes that is what they do.

[siraulo23]

f yeah

spurs responded

[siraulo23]

f yeah

spurs responded

[spursfanincolorado]

\rust

[Brazil]

I just noticed that TP had 7 reb

[Budkin]

Their late game 3s keep going... thank you TP for hitting your FTs

[Supergirl]

lol, harden can only make uncontested shots, manu making them contested all night - who's the real sixth man?

[Josepatches_]

I can't see the point to give the ball to Parker.

[DPG21920]

Lol fluke 3's.

[Uriel]

Stop ruining our point differential.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Game ball for, Ginobili of course, but Stephen Jackson 2nd place.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Spurs. I want to relax now. Keep playing just a few more seconds, please?

[RashoFan]

Oh good lord, the last few seconds are the longest...

[ALVAREZ6]

Goddamn put Manu back in for FTs

[LakerLanny]

Fuck that last three is going to fuck the point spread, that motherfucker Harden

[siraulo23]

you gotta be kidding me

[Brazil]

fucking late 3s okc

[Kidd K]

There's rock, there's paper, there's scissors. . .and there's Ginobili. Ginobili smashes rock, rips through paper, and stomps on scissors! :ihit

[ballhog]

Wow. What a game. Sweating......

[Fireball]

Stop ruining our point differential.

cmon, its a good thing ... close game ... now we are battle tested :lol

[Russo21]

defense, no fouls

[GSH]

That trip by Harden on Tony with 14 seconds left pisses me off still.

[Kidd K]

fucking late 3s okc

Irrelevant stat pad buckets. Yawn.

[maverick1948]

Are we "officially" in their heads yet?

[ace3g]

give ball to manu!!!

[Russo21]

i just saw duncan smile, woah

[Libri]

Westbrook with the "Spurs are good" look.

[timtonymanu]

Never doubt Manu or Jackson ever again, folks.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Harden is no Manu.

So I guess the Spurs aren't tested still, right?

They were tested tonight, and they were tested in game 3 of the Clips series (for one Q, at least).

Manu has shown Harden who's boss tonight. :tu

[ballhog]

lol, harden can only make uncontested shots, manu making them contested all night - who's the real sixth man?

Exactly. Garbage shots.

[Uriel]

At least this will allow us to crack a hundred points.

[Russo21]

thats the 100 for ya, didnt think wed get there tonight

[spursfanincolorado]

Jack with the FT

[loveforthegame]

Welcome back Jax.

[skin]

:flag: 1x0 - 3 more games to go

[Sa_Spursfan20]

There's rock, there's paper, there's scissors. . .and there's Ginobili. Ginobili smashes rock, rips through paper, and stomps on scissors! :ihit

Im stealing this. :lol

SPURS WIN! :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax with the biggest shot of the night on that wide open 3 to bust it open.

[LakerLanny]

That fucking hump Harden, fuck you motherfucker

[Libri]

Harden patting his stats. lol

[ElNono]

We win!

[RashoFan]

Yes!!!!:cheer

[DPG21920]

Well okc got their rhythm from 3 :pctoss

[Kyl3]

So glad Harden only made them when it didn't really matter.

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

what a game.

[Crookshanks]

Hardin just stat-padding

[Budkin]

Harden 3 straight 3s too late hahah. GO SPURS GO!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Wow...

[Russo21]

phew. what a 4th quarter. just had to shake that rust off in the first half.

Manuuuu is back

[spursfanincolorado]

\ tested

\rust

[Kidd K]

Im stealing this. :lol

SPURS WIN! :flag:
heehee

[Budkin]

Well okc got their rhythm from 3 :pctoss

:lmao yeah with no one contesting.

[ballhog]

What was the line on the game?

[NRHector]

Manu baby :flag:

[slick'81]

some how i knew manu had to to score more than 10-12 ppg to get the spurs over

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great crowd tonight! :tu

[loveforthegame]

I had my doubts but the Spurs played a near flawless 4th quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu was the MVP. TD and Tony played better in the 2nd half.

Jax defense was HUGE. Kawhi was solid. And give credit to Tiago and Neal. They were big to start the run in the 4th

[Kidd K]

Harden patting his stats. lol

I'm glad he did actually, I had him picked in Drive to the Finals today and he's sucked all game. Badly needed those last 6 irrelevant stat pad points by Harden to salvage the day.

[Russo21]

glad we started taking care of the fucken ball. those turnovers in the first half were shocking

[Grega]

5:12 AM

Totally worth it.

Congrats, guys.

[Uriel]

I love Manu interviews. He's so eloquent and intelligent.

[Budkin]

No more rust... we got this shit.

[Grega]

5:12 AM

Totally worth it.

Congrats, guys.

[joeSpurs]

Dereck Fisher ... Take that.

[Brazil]

Manu was the MVP. TD and Tony played better in the 2nd half.

Jax defense was HUGE. Kawhi was solid. And give credit to Tiago and Neal. They were big to start the run in the 4th

:tu nice sumup

[TDMVPDPOY]

That fucking hump Harden, fuck you motherfucker

down 6pts

if u betted on okc +5.5, u needed that last 3pt basket hahahahah everyone leavin a winner, unless you bet spurs -5.5 fail

[ballhog]

Wait...Harden just hit another one. Someone tell him the game's over.

[CitizenDwayne]

I gotta say...I LOVE that Westbrook guy. I want to personally thank him for his stunning performance.

Manu did ok, too.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

This win streak has made me soft. I can't take close games anymore. :lol

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

After that 24-point comeback against the Clippers, and tonight's comeback after trailing to start the fourth, I think the Spurs are confident that they can trail any remaining elite team - Thunder, Heat or Celtics - and very reasonably come back to win it.

[Russo21]

I love Manu interviews. He's so eloquent and intelligent.

yep. we dont have a team full of homies and dumbasses thats for sure

[Spurologist]

SJAX over Green in the starting lineup??

[Budkin]

This team has no quit in it!

[Cherry]

7 wins to go :smokin

[Russo21]

Cherry! i love your Gasol Kobe photo lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mad mad mad props to stak 5 with that fourth quarter defense

[baseline bum]

Motherfucking Jack. Could you imagine this being a win with Dick?

[21TimDUNCAN]

come on! 7 more to go!!!

[wut]

you know listening to a Spur in a post-game interview is always a pleasure...always humble and incredibly knowledgeable and talks about the game, and not all about themselves; even gives the other team credit. Try listening to Lebron or Garnett in a post-game interview....just pointless air time.

[8FOR!3]

Don't be too hard on Green, shots weren't falling tonight. Doesn't mean they won't on Tuesday.

[Uriel]

:lol Pop postgame

[Sa_Spursfan20]

I want some nasty?

[ballhog]

Pop's old lady better watch out.....he wants some NASTY!!!

[bobbybob0]

:lobt2:

[Russo21]

I want some nasty?

thats the spurs new motto :lmao put that right next to pounding the rock in the locker room

[GSH]

If Timmy hits just half of his lay-ins, and they call that goaltend, this is a double digit win.

The Spurs came out cold, Fisher was near perfect shooting, and they hit all their 3's in the last minute. None of those things will repeat. Game 2 is going to be a first class ass-kicking by the Spurs.

[wut]

we won this game when we put Bonner on the bench.

[TDMVPDPOY]

TNT post game...lol the clowns shouting barkley sucks

[td4mvp21]

Holy shit, I thought the Spurs were done after the third quarter. What a game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game was similar to game 1 Clips v Spurs - both teams showed up rusty and out of sorts and it was close at the half. The difference today was that rather than finding their sync in the 3rd Q, today the Spurs found their flow in the 4th. Superb lockdown D and shot-making in the 4th.

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag

[GSH]

Don't be too hard on Green, shots weren't falling tonight. Doesn't mean they won't on Tuesday.


It's a compliment. He's been playing so well the Thunder paid extra attention to him. He's never had to contend with that before. He'll adjust.

[ballhog]

Great rebounding by Spurs tonight.

[spursfanincolorado]

Thunder are a worthy opponent... To be respected for sure

[TampaDude]

Harden fucked the gamblers in the ass with that meaningless 3 at the end, but the Spurs hang on to win.

19 in a row!!!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[LakerLanny]

down 6pts

if u betted on okc +5.5, u needed that last 3pt basket hahahahah everyone leavin a winner, unless you bet spurs -5.5 fail

Harden does nothing all game then fucks the gamblers at the end. I hate him with the intensity of 1,000 suns.

[EVAY]

This was a team win for sure. Tim and Tony both had sub-par games due to the focus of the Thunder being almost totally on them. That is as it should be. It doesn't mean that Tim and Tony were not playing as well as anyone could against that kind of defense.

But Ginobili was the MVP.

And that is what is so great about this team...shut down one or even two and WHAM...they still beat you!!

[SpurPadre]

SJAX over Green in the starting lineup??

Interesting question...but I doubt Pop will tinker with it to start Game 2, unless Green has another stinker. I hope Pop at least plays Blair more than Bonner, though.

[siraulo23]

Motherfucking Jack. Could you imagine this being a win with Dick?

:cry

[Spurologist]

I loved that Scott Brooks couldn't decide between Thabo and DFish down the stretch

[TampaDude]

Note to Tiago Splitter: I love you, man, but hit your goddamn free throws!!! :bang

[PingPong]

The main players of OKC do lots of fouls... Westbrook, Durant, Harden and their bigs too, except Ibaka.

[Ice009]

SJAX over Green in the starting lineup??

Actually I am very interested in that move.

I kept saying the Spurs need to go to a money lineup in the second half and I had Jack in that lineup every time.

[vander]

19

this team bring tears to my eyes

never felt this way about a sports team before

[TampaDude]

This Spurs team just doesn't know how to lose...

[DAF86]

Are fans chanting Barkley sucks?

[Ice009]

Anyone got a link to the TNT postgame show. Can't watch it on International LPB.

[Budkin]

:lol I like this female reporter who is not taking Pop's shit. Made him laugh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

we had plenty of open shots but shot like shit and 13turnovers in the first half costs us the first half

[Budkin]

19

this team bring tears to my eyes

never felt this way about a sports team before

:tu

[lauren_gino20]

There's rock, there's paper, there's scissors. . .and there's Ginobili. Ginobili smashes rock, rips through paper, and stomps on scissors! :ihit


Im stealing this. :lol

SPURS WIN! :flag:

me toooo!!!!!!!!!! :lol

[therealtruth]

Green had a bad game. I think the Thunder lost their best chance of winning a game. The Spurs won't turn it over like crazy in the first half again.

[Budkin]

Why are they chanting Barkley sucks? WTF

[Budkin]

Shaq and Barkley with the San Antonio love! :lmao

[DAF86]

C'mon Charles is good people.

[SpurPadre]

we had plenty of open shots but shot like shit and 13turnovers in the first half costs us the first half

The first quarter was mostly bad shot selections, too. TP was a little too high-strung to start the game and it affected everybody else. I'm sure he'll be more settled to start Game 2, though.

[Ice009]

Shaq and Barkley with the San Antonio love! :lmao

Anyone got a link to the TNT postgame show? ILPB was showing it during the regular season, but not the playoffs.

[therealtruth]

It's a compliment. He's been playing so well the Thunder paid extra attention to him. He's never had to contend with that before. He'll adjust.

He's got to make up for it on the defensive end if shots aren't falling.

[therealtruth]

Interesting question...but I doubt Pop will tinker with it to start Game 2, unless Green has another stinker. I hope Pop at least plays Blair more than Bonner, though.

Bonner is so freaking useless. Jax hasn't been shooting well but he makes a huge 3 pointer. Bonner shoots 45% but can't make them when it counts.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Notice how we played frenetically (almost looked panicked) for most of the first 3 Qs, then in the 4th slowed down just a touch and played tough and fast but not out of control? That was the rust wearing off. Rust is all about the fact that practice doesn't prepare you for the pace of the game, and when you have a long rest then play a tough team you try to do things too quickly, over-compensate.

[cutewizard]

awesome game, vintage Manu

[TDMVPDPOY]

westbrick favorite song on loop...mariah carey - hero....lol

[therealtruth]

The first quarter was mostly bad shot selections, too. TP was a little too high-strung to start the game and it affected everybody else. I'm sure he'll be more settled to start Game 2, though.

I think the Thunder may have just lost the series by losing game 1. The Spurs were rusty. They weren't adjusted to the Thunder's defense and pace. They turned the ball over like crazy and they missed alot of freethrows. They're not going to send Durant to the line like crazy. It was their best chance to win and they couldn't.

[Spurologist]

DFish was crying :lol

[Ice009]

Bonner is so freaking useless. Jax hasn't been shooting well but he makes a huge 3 pointer. Bonner shoots 45% but can't make them when it counts.

Bonner is a problem for me. I said at half time that I wasn't sure if we can play him in the second half. He missed all his shots and I am pretty sure the Thunder scored off of every miss. It also seemed like the Thunder got a gazillion rebounds when he was in the game.

[Mugen]

Fuck you Fish.

[SpurPadre]

Did any of you hear Brooks' postgame comments? He said they have to keep Manu from getting easy 3's the next game. Did he even see the shots he took? Well, any ways, if they want to defend the perimeter better on him then Manu should just pump fake and drive to the basket more and get to the foul line. They have no real answer for Manu except for Harden to fight Manu's offense with some of his own. I like our chances with Manu winning that battle.

[timvp]

:lol Russell Westbrook just blamed the refs.

[Ice009]

The Thunder also showed that they are never out of a game and they just continue to hit shots. That's gotta be a reason for the Spurs pressing in the first three quarters. They know the Thunder are capable of hitting shots so it's really hard to get any seperation from them. Spurs were trying too hard to get seperation.

Edit : And fuck Russell Westbrook. Fucking clown. Just read Timvps post that said he blamed the refs. If that's the case then fuck these losers. I thought the Thunder got too many touch fouls at the end of the game and that clown is blaming the refs??????

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Westbrooks shirt. Good God.

[TDMVPDPOY]

we played like shit diggin ourselves a grave in the first half...splitter, ginoboli kept us in the game

[DPG21920]

Durant looks like the big head commercial of himself.

[dbreiden83080]

Why are they chanting Barkley sucks? WTF

He joined Stephen A Smith in bashing the city...

[SpurPadre]

I think the Thunder may have just lost the series by losing game 1. The Spurs were rusty. They weren't adjusted to the Thunder's defense and pace. They turned the ball over like crazy and they missed alot of freethrows. They're not going to send Durant to the line like crazy. It was their best chance to win and they couldn't.

Well, I think we got Game 2 for sure but Game 3 is going to be very, very hard. That crowd is going to erupt for everything the Thunder do and that will pump up a young team like theirs. If we thought Green looked, well...green tonight, imagine how nervous he might be in Game 3?

[DPG21920]

Westbrook talking about free throws :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

No Westbrook, YOU happened

[dbreiden83080]

This game really showed how good the Spurs are right now. Out of rythm and getting outplayed most of the way they turned it on and won pretty handily down the stretch. Manu was the best he's been all year. What a 2nd half..

[Crookshanks]

The final score was kinda misleading because of Harden's last second 3.

Did you see how dorky Westbrook and Durant looked in the post game interview?

[lauren_gino20]

does westbrook always dress like that?

[td4mvp21]

:lol The only reason the Thunder scored in the fourth quarter was because of free throws. Spurs had them on lock otherwise.

[therealtruth]

Well, I think we got Game 2 for sure but Game 3 is going to be very, very hard. That crowd is going to erupt for everything the Thunder do and that will pump up a young team like theirs. If we thought Green looked, well...green tonight, imagine how nervous he might be in Game 3?

That's why having depth is great. If someone is not ready then someone else will take their place. Both Neal and Jax stepped up to make up for DG.

[T Park]

If Westbrook is whining already, then this could go quick if he keeps it up...

[Crookshanks]

Durant looks like the big head commercial of himself.

I was thinking the same thing! :lol

[therealtruth]

:lol The only reason the Thunder scored in the fourth quarter was because of free throws. Spurs had them on lock otherwise.

Our half court defense looked pretty solid against them. Even Neal was stepping up and drawing charges.

[dbreiden83080]

:lol Russell Westbrook just blamed the refs.

Again he outshoots Durant. The more he is chuckin up shots the better the Spurs chances...

[SpurPadre]

Our half court defense looked pretty solid against them. Even Neal was stepping up and drawing charges.

Yeah, Neal was showing more balls than Bonner and at half his size!

[TampaDude]

Our half court defense looked pretty solid against them. Even Neal was stepping up and drawing charges.

Take away the stupid turnovers that led to all those easy transition buckets for the Thunder, and this game is a 10-15 point walk for the Spurs.

The rust has been shaken off. Game 2 will be a blowout. Book it. :hat

Really shows how good they are.. Tony was pretty quiet we turned it over like crazy and still with the play of Manu and tightening it up they got it done..

[Spurologist]

Barkley: David Robinson is the only person I know who loses weight when he retires :lol

[td4mvp21]

Our half court defense looked pretty solid against them. Even Neal was stepping up and drawing charges.

Yeah, they turned it up a notch in the fourth quarter. It'll be a tough series but it's good to know the Spurs can take it to another level against a really good team.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao

Shaq swimming

[T Park]

So nba bloggers have told me the fourth was a fluke because Jackson made a shot and splitter and Neal made fluky shots as well.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So nba bloggers have told me the fourth was a fluke because Jackson made a shot and splitter and Neal made fluky shots as well.

Yeah, smart guys those bloggers! Because layups are difficult for 7fters, and Neal sure isn't known for hitting 3s! :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

So nba bloggers have told me the fourth was a fluke because Jackson made a shot and splitter and Neal made fluky shots as well.

Why would you even bother? Most NBA blogs are poorly written and usually pretty damn boring.

[SpurPadre]

So nba bloggers have told me the fourth was a fluke because Jackson made a shot and splitter and Neal made fluky shots as well.

Lemme guess the bloggers: Chris Broussard, Rod Parker, and that Heat homer Guttierrez?

[T Park]

Nope Matt Moore of CBS Sportsline

[Obstructed_View]

So nba bloggers have told me the fourth was a fluke because Jackson made a shot and splitter and Neal made fluky shots as well.

:lol

If Neal or Splitter had made a single shot they didn't make all year, I'd be inclined to agree. The only person on the team who hit a fluky shot was Parker hitting the three, and Bonner, Green and Leonard flukily missed shots they typically make.

[WraithXx]

I don't give a fuck about potential backlash, I'll support the Texas team after the Mavericks.

Frankly, however, I'll support anyone who will kick the dogshit out of the fuckin Heat.

looking to me like Fisher on the court will allow the spurs to play Neal more without him being a defensive liability

Looks to me like Neal's been told that if the Thunder win the series, Sefolosha or Fisher had better be the heroes for their ability to hit all those wide open threes.

:lol

If Neal or Splitter had made a single shot they didn't make all year, I'd be inclined to agree. The only person on the team who hit a fluky shot was Parker hitting the three, and Bonner, Green and Leonard flukily missed shots they typically make.


That was answered with "Green has played over his head for over a month.."

A '70's Porn vagina, to be exact.

:lol Russell Westbrook just blamed the refs.

On the Thunder board they were all bitching about Jax hacking and hanging over KD all game. :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

actually most of them are blaming their coach for playing small ball in the 4th. And westbrook is right FTs were the difference, mostly due to the fact they didn't get the bullshit ones they are accustomed to.

Dumbasses arent use to watching a player play tough, LEGAL, physical defense on Durant because their use to having the refs bail them out every possession....

+1. The Spurs were also HORRIBLE at the line tonight, and still won the game....

The Spurs can match up any way they want to play.
