Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 1

[m33p0]

2 fat guys sandwiching 2 skinny guys :lol

[Horse]

12 turnover bitcher hasnt missed and only down I'm not worried.

[Budkin]

Jesus fucking Christ these turnovers are pissing me off!

[Spurologist]

Terrible half but we're only down 2. Length is really bothering tp. TD needs to dominate to force the double team so the floor can be spread. Limit turnovers and fucking rebound.

[boutons_deux]

13 TOs first half is loser game

[Capt Bringdown]

tbh, tbh is way over used.

Yes, please stop. It only makes the whoever uses it look like a mindless follower.

[rascal]

It is clear that the Thunder are more athletic and quicker than the Spurs. The Spurs need to slow the pace down and not try to get into a track meet. They don't match up in a track meet and will continue turning it over.

[ALVAREZ6]

Lionel Messi to Pele (Argentina to Brazil) ... That's all the Spurs need.

No.

No, no, no.

Splitter needs to keep his ass on the bench. He is so fucking bad, has the worst hands, and can't make a FT to save his life. I wanted to kill Pop for having Tiago and Bonner both in the game at the same time.

[Bulwark]

Tony Parker has to show up in the second half...

[Mr Fundamental]

Manu should run our offense.

We can use Duncan at low-post more.

[Bulwark]

Splitter can't make a free throw for his life...

[$pursDynasty]

Their big 3 25 points, our big 3 21 if their big 3 only outscores us by 4, I feel our bench will more than make up that difference and get us the win, we MUST cut down on the turnovers!!!

[Budkin]

How many turnovers? 13 and only down 1.

This. We'll be fine as soon as we knock this TO shit out. At least half their points were off our TOs.

[spurspokesman]

Parker is forcing it. The spurs are forcing it. And FISHER. Are you kidding me.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

We need more Duncan on offense. Ibaka and Perkins can't guard him.

[SpurPadre]

Parker, just give Manu the FUCKING ball! Why is that so hard for him to understand sometimes? FUCK.

[Russo21]

at least we limited their free throws

[ALVAREZ6]

Danny Green is gonna save our asses in the 3rd, par the course. He's gonna come out and knock down some 3s. Feels like he's barely played in this game so far.

[Johnny RIngo]

No.

No, no, no.

Splitter needs to keep his ass on the bench. He is so fucking bad, has the worst hands, and can't make a FT to save his life. I wanted to kill Pop for having Tiago and Bonner both in the game at the same time.

Bonner is terrible by default but SA still needs to have a third big tonight. If it's not Splitter, then who?

[Bulwark]

I hate Fisher... I hate Fisher...

[SpurPadre]

We need more Duncan on offense. Ibaka and Perkins can't guard him.

Parker has to stop forcing up jumpers and feed TD the ball more, too.

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs are playing like absolute dogshit right now...we must be breaking records for turnovers in a half and our defensive rebounding is atrocious...Thunder will beat us in 4 if we keep shitting the bed like this.

On the other hand, if the Spurs tighten it up they should run away in the second half.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner missed a couple WIDE OPEN 3's....... Any chance that changes? :( lol

[Brazil]

Yes, please stop. It only makes the whoever uses it look like a mindless follower.

fwiw I like the tbh, tbh

[timtonymanu]

It's scary that Westbrook and Harden are struggling yet we are down. I still think we can win this but why are some people on here not worried?

[Otaku]

Whatever happens, this series is ending in 5. Spurs 2012 champions.

[ALVAREZ6]

Everyone seems surprised that Fisher is knocking down shots....and I'm not sure why. Aren't you guys used to this? The man has made a living on being able to shoot, primarily.

[DPG21920]

Pretty sobering that OKC not getting as many free throws & harden is 1-9 and they are still leading. In SA.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TOs are all about timing when running sets. Our timing has been atrocious, which is a sign of the rust accumulated from 6 days of rest. I'm confident we'll slow down and our timing will kick in during the second half, then we'll start to really worry OKC. The only play that is working so far is the Manu-Splitter pnr.

On the other end, Neal needs to get in Fisher's face, and if he won't, get someone else out there to do it. We've done a decent job on Durant, but TP needs to stop letting Westbrook get to his favourite spots at the FT elbows. Manu has pretty much pantsed Harden at this stage.

I'm confident we'll come out a much more composed team in the second half. :flag:

[Spurologist]

I hate how TP just shit the bed. Can't even attack TOSB fisher. Got damn it.

He has...credit the bigs of the thunder clogging the lane. Tp will bounce back.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I can't believe how shitty this team is right now.

Turning it over, giving up offensive rebounds to a horrible rebounding team
leaving mother fucking Fisher open
lucky to be down by once

[wut]

Thunders length is bothering us A LOT.

Parker can't score on Ibaka off the dribble
this.


and for fuck's sake can we stop putting Bonner in the game, like he's going to do anything, the guy isn't hitting his shots and if he isn't doing that he's absolutely worthless out there.

[BanditHiro]

It's scary that Westbrook and Harden are struggling yet we are down. I still think we can win this but why are some people on here not worried?

westbrook has picked it up at the end of the half...

[DBMethos]

Also, it'd be nice if TP, Manu and Neal stopped trying to pass the ball in mid shot...that hasn't worked once.

[LkrFan]

Spurs need to take it to Durant & make him play D!

Problem with your theory. Like LeHype, they simply won't call fouls on him. He'll get away with murder. Real talk.

[Mugen]

:lol took a 1pt deficit at the half for the SpursTalk meltdown.

[GrandeDavid]

It's scary that Westbrook and Harden are struggling yet we are down. I still think we can win this but why are some people on here not worried?

Because the Spurs played like the Warriors yet are only down 1.

[Russo21]

i hate the tbh. it took me ages to work out what the fuck it was

[$pursDynasty]

Bonner is terrible by default but SA still needs to have a third big tonight. If it's not Splitter, then who?
I know SpursTalk doesn't want to hear it but Dejuan Blair has a history of playing good against the Thunder

[Sense]

Bonner is shit... Diaw is passing up 3's again... they're not giving it to Jackson when he's open. You can't give the ball to Leonard when there's like 3 seconds left DUNCAN.

I think Pop has done a bad job so far.

[Brazil]

Parker, just give Manu the FUCKING ball! Why is that so hard for him to understand sometimes? FUCK.

:lmao

the old :cry give the ball to manu TP :cry

[EVAY]

I'm going on record saying this is going to be a lot better. Right now OKC is focusing all their defensive effort on TP and TD, and it is resulting in high turnovers and low scoring percentages. Question is: what do we do about it?

If we really believe that this is a team function and that if Tony is shut down or Tim is shut down, that Gino or Neal or someone else will pick it up and carry the ball, can we make that happen?

WE knew damn well that OKC would be better than anon we faced. Clearly their coaching staff has down their job, and we are still essentially tied.


I still believe we will win.

But we have to adjust.

[Josepatches_]

Lol blame Splitter.

His pick & roll was the only play that works for us as always in the first half.

[SA210]

Manu was on fire, the last so many minutes the ball didn't touch his hands, Pop playing Bonner too much, and leaving piece of shit Fisher open. Absolute bullshit that they should be able to control, and they didn't.

[Libri]

I volunteer to do a Metaworldpeace on the corpse of Fish.

[spursfanincolorado]

I want to see some circus shots from Blair tonite!

[8FOR!3]

We've got to stop turning the ball over and the open shots will start falling.

[NRHector]

Bonner missed a couple WIDE OPEN 3's....... Any chance that changes? :( lol

please that bitch is been doing it for years you think he will change :bang

[Jumi]

I'm not overly concerned at this point. We just played a subpar first half. We should be OK in the second half. As long as TP gets his act together, we'll be good!

[Nathan89]

Green played like a scared bitch. As a result he got 4 minutes of playing time. I hope he can come out and spark the offense with a couple of threes.

Per the usual Bonner was shitting the bed. Bonner the Bizzaro Fisher.

Parker just can't do anything against OKC. STEP THE FUCK UP!

STOP THE TURNOVERS!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's scary that Westbrook and Harden are struggling yet we are down. I still think we can win this but why are some people on here not worried?

...because we looked this bad in the first half of game 1 against the Clippers. This is just rust. Sooner or later the synchronicity and timing will kick in, and then we'll have our team cutting OKC up.

[spurspokesman]

Jax needs to step up. He's looking to passive for my liking.

[timvp]

Alright, settle down at half. Get your ish straight. Get the movement back in the offense while forcing the Thunder to score in the halfcourt.

Believe.

[Kamala]

Eat pelotas D Fish:flipoff

[Russo21]

why is Barkley showing off his HTC phone like its an infomercial

Perfect analysis. I'm in agreement, Oz!

[LakerLanny]

It's scary that Westbrook and Harden are struggling yet we are down. I still think we can win this but why are some people on here not worried?


The Spurs won't turn over the ball 13 times in a half for the rest of the series and are only down 1 despite that fact.

Fisher also will cool off...trust me on that, dude shot horribly this season and will go cold.

[Budkin]

Bonner needs to put up or sit his hairy red ass down.

[joeSpurs]

Jackson, Green, Bonner have been quiet...

[tlongII]

You have to like your chances if you're OKC right now.

[Nathan89]

We can use Duncan at low-post more.


Anything to get the ball out of Tony's hand. :depressed

[NRHector]

jax needs to step up. He's looking to passive for my liking. + 1

[SpurPadre]

Also, it'd be nice if TP, Manu and Neal stopped trying to pass the ball in mid shot...that hasn't worked once.

But if TP followed that advice, he won't pass at all in the 2nd half. He's looking to get his tonight, and that's it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

please that bitch is been doing it for years you think he will change :bang


I know.... :depressed

[Kuestmaster]

Blair? I'm open to anything not named Bonner right now.

[Brazil]

oh and Diaw with a great first half tbh

[DPG21920]

You have to like your chances if you're OKC right now.

:tu

[Budkin]

Manu is going to have a HUGE second half.

[NRHector]

why is Barkley showing off his HTC phone like its an infomercial

kissing ass to the sponser

[gospursgojas]

Lol TNT...LTE doesnt stand for lite

[Spurologist]

:lol

Manu heard Barkley should Giiiinnnnooobiliii

[benstanfield]

Tbh, Ginobili was playing like dogshit in the first, tbh, but tbh he completely turned it around in the second quarter. Westbrook is, tbh, killing us more than Durant, and tbh fuck Fisher. Tbh though I think we are in good shape, tbh 13 TO's is tbh probably just a result of rust, like Duncan said before the last series its gonna take about a half tbh for us to get in gear.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Not feeling good about this game, but not worried about the series. Spurs have been begging to lose a game for a while now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I love Bonner as a regular season weapon, but that man does not deserve a single important minute in the playoffs the remainder of his contract

[Paranoid Pop]

You sound mad tbh.

[BatManu20]

Bonner has a history of disappearing in the playoffs, particularly when it matters. But Pop likes to play him a lot for some reason so he has to contribute something. If he's not hitting shots, he's a liability.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fisher also will cool off...trust me on that, dude shot horribly this season and will go cold.

The percentages don't matter when Fisher plays the Spurs in the PO. We're talkin' Twilight Zone stuff here.

[wut]

Also, it'd be nice if TP, Manu and Neal stopped trying to pass the ball in mid shot...that hasn't worked once.
first off Thunder are playing the passing lanes....which is something Spurs need to realize, slow down and stop forcing a bad pass.

Secondly while we've made a name for ourselves on this alone, the Spurs need to stop leaving their feet to pass the ball....it's risky, especially when the defense are watching the passing lanes and have length to stop the passes and intercept.

[SpurPadre]

Bonner's cut off should be this: you miss your first shot attempt, then you're fucking useless and you're out for the rest of the MOTHERFUCKING GAME! Ride the bench and eat a fucking sandwich or something!

[DPG21920]

Spurs should be fine; only thing that concerns me is that both Dallas and LA seemed dismayed at how they kept melting down vs OKC. Why is that? Why has every team vs okc this playoff just played so uncharacteristically?

[Brazil]

But if TP followed that advice, he won't pass at all in the 2nd half. He's looking to get his tonight, and that's it.

:lol shut the fuck up your dumbass

imo tbh.

This guy gets it

[Ice009]

TP is playing like a neutered dog. He seems to always play like this against teams with great length and shotblocking. Teams like the Pistons used to make him look this bad. HE NEEDS TO PLAY A LOT BETTER. Having said all that I have confidence in him to turn it around.

The main issue for me right now is Matt Bonner. Can we afford to keep playing him? It seems like they got a gazillion rebounds when he was out there and it seems like every shot he missed was a huge momentum turning shot with them scoring off of every miss.

I am just shocked how bad Bonner is. Pop needs to forget about that game where Bonner hit like 7 or 8 threes against the Thunder. That is not going to happen anymore, hopefully Pop isn't playing him because he thinks he might go off.

Is having Bonner out there helping the Spurs at all?

[LakerLanny]

Jax needs to step up. He's looking to passive for my liking.


Yeah, I don't like the way he is playing at all. It seemed like an odd add to the team anyway in my opinion.

[EVAY]

Anything to get the ball out of Tony's hand. :depressed

What a brilliant comment. Take the ball away from the only Spur to have made the all-NBA team (whichever one it was), who was the only all-star player this year, who was in the top five MVP voting, who remains the team's scoring leader and assist leader...Yes, Let's Do Anything To Keep the Ball Away from TP.

Brilliant!!

[tlongII]

I expect Durant to get hot at some point in the 2nd half. It will be interesting to see how the Spurs react.

[wut]

oh and Diaw with a great first half tbh
I have to be honest.... wtf is up with people hating on Splitter, he had just as solid a first half as Diaw and isn't being ripped. Bonner on the other hand, is KILLING us.

[slick'81]

i will switch sigs so fast if this game gets in doubt

[NRHector]

Bonner has a history of disappearing in the playoffs, particularly when it matters. But Pop likes to play him a lot for some reason so he has to contribute something. If he's not hitting shots, he's a liability.

I wish he would disappear like his face on that kid's haircut

[Spurs Brazil]

Stop the turnovers, rebound. Win

[spursfanincolorado]

I think TBH is better than (lmbh - let me be honest)

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lets go Spurs!!

[SpurPadre]

:lol shut the fuck up your dumbass

What the fuck is your problem? I'm a fellow Spurs fan.

[100%duncan]

We need Green in this half. Non-existent earlier.

[wut]

Thunder talking confident this whole time; Spurs talking nervous....we have to change things. If Pop didn't come up with something remarkable at halftime, we're done for.

[Ice009]

Not feeling good about this game, but not worried about the series. Spurs have been begging to lose a game for a while now.

Gotta come out and lay it all on the line, can't throw away anything.

[Budkin]

15 points for them off TOs... we should be killing them.

[bayareaspursfan]

Its not our fault that we ahve 13 TO's. Its the thunder defense ya'll. Give credit where credit is due. After watching the way thunder is playing, I am kinda worried now.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Off to a GREAT start....

[slick'81]

iblocka!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck

[100%duncan]

Yes. Good start you fucks.

[Spurologist]

horrible call

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs should be fine; only thing that concerns me is that both Dallas and LA seemed dismayed at how they kept melting down vs OKC. Why is that? Why has every team vs okc this playoff just played so uncharacteristically?

They play smart. Spurs are obviously rusty and have been dumb with the ball but OKC deserves alot of credit for the spurs turning the ball over so much.

[slick'81]

We need Green in this half. Non-existent earlier.


thabo was solid on him early

[Budkin]

Another bullshit foul.

[Johnny RIngo]

We need Green in this half. Non-existent earlier.

He only played 4 mins

[loveforthegame]

Terrible start.

[therealtruth]

The percentages don't matter when Fisher plays the Spurs in the PO. We're talkin' Twilight Zone stuff here.

Exactly. Remember 15/20.

[Capt Bringdown]

The way the Spurs have played, you gotta worry about OKC making a run. Don't know if the Spurs can come back with this kind of shitty execution.

[Spurs Brazil]

stop with the stupid shots. ATTTACK

[BanditHiro]

now we can't make shots fuck

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Make the 3's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursfanincolorado]

Too many jump in the air before knowing what to do with it was a few of the TOs

[Budkin]

Fucking 3s clanking.

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs are not attacking the paint, I know Ibaka is good but he isn't that good take it to the well

[loveforthegame]

Let's hope they wake up soon.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs looking lazy to me. No focus and a little bit of a lack of effort.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs picked a bad time to go on a drought

[100%duncan]

We couldnt get a shot to fall in.

[Texas_Ranger]

all guys turned into Bonner...

[Budkin]

There you go Timmy.

[slick'81]

ack

[KaiRMD1]

Man, what the hell is up with the bricks. Spurs didn't lose their composure did they?

[Budkin]

Goddamn FTs

[SpurPadre]

stop with the stupid shots. ATTTACK

I'm not thrilled with the shot selection, either.

[spursfanincolorado]

Horrible shot selection and FT's are short... Fuck we are coming apart

[EVAY]

Nice foul shooting, Tim.

[Paranoid Pop]

Already much better even if shot didnt fall

[NRHector]

whata way to start the 3rd quarter

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on......

[Josepatches_]

We can't make a 3. We are a turnover machine.Our offense suck...... but we are down only by 3

Not bad

[loveforthegame]

Disappointing. It's like the Spurs were not prepared.

[Capt Bringdown]

Missed FT's typically trigger a collapse/meltdown.

[Budkin]

Tototototototo

[Ice009]

Spurs need to play hard. Fucking grind. Don't give up an inch.

[slick'81]

thunders d has been very good but tony cant be this bad all game

[Chachachango]

tp needs to get aggressive.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green ice cold

[Quiet Strength]

lol okc just wants to get to the line. It's pathetic.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We gotta make those shots.

[ffadicted]

playing like fucking turd lurds

[benstanfield]

I think TBH is better than (lmbh - let me be honest)

How about just write in complete words/sentences? To be honest, it really isn't that hard.

Let me rewrite that...

Hajwincw/s?tbhirith.

[Budkin]

sadhwakgpfpkwahhsafdog[lkg

[Texas_Ranger]

Green is cold

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green playing like shit

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green looks nervous out there.

[slick'81]

time out spurs

[100%duncan]

C'mon Spurs.

[$pursDynasty]

WE are playing like the Thunder, ie settling for perimeter jumpers, take the ball to the hole SPURS!

[Capt Bringdown]

Enough with f'n 3's

[Spurologist]

time for manu. Green just doesn't have it tonight

[wut]

I guess traveling is fine as long as you're Kevin Durant, fucking bullshit.

[KaiRMD1]

This is supposed to be when the Spurs start attacking. Too many dumb turnovers

[BanditHiro]

the party is over i guess...the threes won't go in.

[TE]

How can you miss that travel? Lol wow

[Spurs Brazil]

that was a travel

[Josepatches_]

Manu and Tiago in please

[Admidave50]

TP need to takeover! Shoot the ball little man

[m33p0]

one pass, shoot... one pass, shoot. damn.

[joeSpurs]

Green didn't shoot once in the first half ... he is cold.

[Quiet Strength]

lol travel

[Johnny RIngo]

thunders d has been very good but tony cant be this bad all game

This is why you can't build championship teams around point guards. WIth a younger TD we'd be rolling these guys

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Danny Green. You're back to that scrub play again.

[Josepatches_]

that was a travel

Very clear

[Nathan89]

Let Duncan do work. Fuck these threes. Fuck Parker.

[100%duncan]

Bonner started this fucking drought. I hope he doesn't play a second for the rest of the series.

[siraulo23]

not making 3s really hurting the spurs

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This team is in a total team slump

The time off fucked us, should have sacrificed game 4 against clippers

[Supergirl]

Shit's just not falling...but in general Spurs are playing good D so far in the third. The shots will eventually start falling for them.

[DPG21920]

This is not Utah anymore, Dorthy.

[MannyIsGod]

Bad start. Spurs look completely lost on offense right now. Thunder doing a good job making Green a non factor.

[timvp]

This isn't the time for Green to cool off. Pop probably has to go to Ginobili early.

Gotta get back into it. The Thunder feel like they are on the verge of opening up a big lead. Can't let that happen.

Still gotta settle down and start playing how you've played the last six weeks.

Come on.

[Paranoid Pop]

Bottom line they defend the 3 well.

But the offense looks much better barring Kawhi passing a shot and turning it over.

[therealtruth]

Parker is playing way too passive. He's got to look to score the keep their defenders honest. They're only playing the pass right now and it's forcing DG and KL to try to shoot contested or make plays of the dribble.

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs nut the fuck up!!!

[loveforthegame]

I guess the Spurs didn't learn anything at the half.

[Ice009]

Spurs need to go to the Money lineup.

Gotta go Splitter/Diaw, Duncan, Sjax, Manu, TP.

kawhi and Green just not doing it tonight.

[wut]

Disappointing. It's like the Spurs were not prepared.
I agree, how do we have a week off to look at these guys and we seemingly have no plays to go at them?

[BatManu20]

Role players shooting cold. Happens often in big games. They're not used to the big moment and don't play well. Our big names gotta step up. Parker and Duncan need to get it going or we're in deep shit.

[slick'81]

we will c what danny green has this series he can't wilt

[Kuestmaster]

Refs respecting more a kid that has done nothing like Durant than a fucking legend like Duncan. Outrageous

[spurspokesman]

We look horrible.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Brooks doing his job. Brooks did more homework than Pop.

[spursfanincolorado]

Neal needs to be in and make a few dagger threes... Spurs playing like the Clippers

[MannyIsGod]

LOL @ Reggie Miller not being able to count. That was 3 steps.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

man the spurs are just fuking up right now

[DBMethos]

Spurs got some shit to figure out. Just hope that Okc doesn't get too far ahead in the meantime.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Green is choking like a bitch. Bonner is useless. Those two need to sit.

Bring on Neal or Manu for Green.

I'd like to say try Grizz for Bonner, but Grizz can't space the floor and hasn't played in a month, so he'd probably be useless.

Unless we pull our heads out of our arses and stop turning it over, we'll lose this. Wouldn't surprise me as I figured we might lose game 1 due to rust, and because historically it's something Spurs teams do... :oops

[100%duncan]

Green is just playing bad you fucks. He played 4 minutes in the first half. What did you expect?

[$pursDynasty]

everyone so scared of the Ibaka blocks they are giving up on penetration. He might get some blocks but he won't block them all!

[SpurPadre]

Green looks like a deer-in-headlights out there. At least he's showing some defensive effort out there.

[Budkin]

We've only scored a fucking point this quarter

[therealtruth]

Shit's just not falling...but in general Spurs are playing good D so far in the third. The shots will eventually start falling for them.

I agree the defense is pretty good. They need to stop giving the Thunder points of turnovers.

[NRHector]

if the Spurs need to lose this game so they can regroup than fuck it lose it
:bang

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Duncan... really?

[100%duncan]

what the fuck tim?

[ginobili fan]

Damnit Parker needs to be agressive...
I feel like I'm actually watching last year Memphis series...

[Budkin]

Why Timmy?

[Libri]

LOL @ Reggie Miller not being able to count. That was 3 steps.

Miller saying that George Gervin is smiling. smh

[Texas_Ranger]

with this kind of offense we're the one who gonna get swept.

[slick'81]

[Chachachango]

[Budkin]

They're pulling away.

Thank you Tony for following Leonard on that play...the ONLY SPUR to do that.

[DPG21920]

:lmao westbrook

[Budkin]

Westbrook fluke

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy on a fading 18fter and Parker for 3??? We're not getting the shots we want.

[LakerLanny]

Perkins should never score, ever.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs shittiing the bed.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pound the rock

[DPG21920]

Okc is playing surgical. It's like okc and SA switched.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Johnny RIngo]

Timmy on a fading 18fter and Parker for 3??? We're not getting the shots we want.

[Libri]

[Tp9gospursgo]

Spurs playing a little bit better.

[Budkin]

Timmmmmmmmsyyyy

[Chachachango]

Fuck. Thank u Timmy

[Quiet Strength]

Finally.. spurs looking a little better

[100%duncan]

Feed timmy down low.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

When did Westbrook learn to shoot 3s?

[DPG21920]

To be honest, I think this can be solved by energy. Okc just playing a bit harder and w more purpose.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Whi needs to go to the basket.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

3's arent falling

[Chachachango]

Ahhhhhhhh. Cant make the threes

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck! The spurs have got to attack more.

[100%duncan]

Dying by the 3 now.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs missing open threes and Westbrook making off balance threes. Just happens sometimes.

[$pursDynasty]

too many perimeter jumpers

[Otaku]

Durant is on fire.

[DPG21920]

Westbrook misses A LOT of dunks. He tries to kill it every time.

[Chachachango]

Not looking good at all.
