[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago missed those FTs but we need to give him credit. Played great to start this run

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Tie game! Keep up the defense!

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking choke job by Green. Missed 4-5 wide open 3s. Fuck.

Green was due for a bad shooting game. Cut him some slack.

[loveforthegame]

Parker!!

Tie game. I had my doubts but maybe the Spurs are going to dig deep for this one.

[Chachachango]

Energy shiffting. LEts go spurs. Rattle the thunder, baby.

[siraulo23]

[timvp]

Not bad. But you have to stop the couter-run. The Thunder have been exploding right after the Spurs get back into it.

Believe.

[ginobili fan]

Thank you Parker !!!

[Libri]

The nasty pep talk worked!

[Nathan89]

Now I'm fired up. Don't do this to me.

[Jumi]

This is how we do it!!!!!!

Go Spurs Go!!!

[Budkin]

A lot of time left... keep it up Spurs!!!

[timtonymanu]

Keep Green and Bonner out the rest of the game.

[GSH]

Je veux des méchants

I want some nasty

[Floyd Pacquiao]

cmon spurs gotta get stops and score

[SpurPadre]

Jax doing a great job celebrating...now, if only he can start actually contributing...that would be nice. Seriously, though, his defense has been solid at least.

[Fireball]

The Spurs giving them the NASTY

:lol

[jiggy_55]

Loving Jackson's intensity!!! Did you see him after TPs jumper??? Great defending on Durant too

[OZWIN]

This is where the experience kicks in too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great noise by the crowd. No pussy crowd tonight.

There you go! That character they've shown all year that was completely lacking until the 4th Q.

:flag:

[Spursfanfromafar]

Great comeback by the Spurs. Absolutely Gutsy.. Now have to get this thing going on.. Manu to come back in a couple of minutes instead of Green and it should be TP, Manu, Jax, Leonard, Duncan all the way as I suspect OKC is going to try small ball.

[InK]

Gotta love Westbrook

[joeSpurs]

Let's finish it up now.
here we go

fuck all you doubters who give up after the 3rd quarter. you're a disgrace

[Supergirl]

See, when the Spurs actually show up to play, they're so clearly the better team. It's like they're the Lakers of 2000-2002.

[DPG21920]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great noise by the crowd. No pussy crowd tonight.

There you go! That character they've shown all year that was completely lacking until the 4th Q.

:flag:

[urunobili]

Jax with the swagger on the bench. The Thunder have been here before...

[Crookshanks]

Took 3 1/4 quarters for the Spurs to wake up and start playing their game. Now let's keep it up and win this game!

[LakerLanny]

Some of you are really gutless, have some faith in your team for crissakes.

[ace3g]

there we go SJAX!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Jax knows all about the NASTY

[jiggy_55]

Yessss Jackson!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[Fireball]

Jax doing a great job celebrating...now, if only he can start actually contributing...that would be nice. Seriously, though, his defense has been solid at least.

he is defending Durant pretty good right now ... he rebounds ... I like it

[100%duncan]

Jax didn't flop. He a G. Det was real.

[Josepatches_]

Splitter deserves his credit for this run. Same Pop going small

[spursfanincolorado]

SJ drawn the charge Fuck Yeah, Green needs to hit a dagger

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs just need to run their sets and push OKC away from theirs.

[Spurs Brazil]

stop with those fouls

[SpursRock20]

Crawford helpin' the thunder.

[Otaku]

TP needs to fucking slow down.

[LakerLanny]

damn sons Tony P got a big dick

Erin Barry likes it!

[100%duncan]

bad shot TP.

[ace3g]

lol Joey Crawford was going to reverse that call, lol

[Budkin]

WTF is Neal thinking?

[Warlord23]

Bring Leonard back in Pop

[Crookshanks]

@#$%^&^%#$@ Joey Crawford! How in the world could he think of waving off that foul?

[jiggy_55]

Stupid shot by TP we don't need hero ball now

[slick'81]

lol perkins talking shit to neal

[DPG21920]

Spurs playing hard now, but that has brought on fouls.

[Spurologist]

Manu ball right now

[loveforthegame]

Love Jackson's attitude.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hack a Perkins time

[ballhog]

Hack a Perkins working

[SpursRock20]

Bring Leonard back in Pop

Keep Jackson in, he is slowly getting in Durant's head.

[Kidd K]

Man, it's been a whistle fest ever since we made the game close again. We're in the penalty now after all those cheap touch fouls off the ball in the last 2-3 minutes. :(

[ffadicted]

Fouls galore

[ace3g]

TP again!!!

[spursfanincolorado]

Parker - and one!

[Hemotivo]

[RashoFan]

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Big dick player baby... SWINGING PAST HIS KNEES

[SpursRock20]

We need to ATTACK perkins now!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony and 1!!!

[Kidd K]

Parker's been great in the 4th so far. MVP chants in the crowd!

[LakerLanny]

@#$%^&^%#$@ Joey Crawford! How in the world could he think of waving off that foul?

Because he is disgusting fixer and a waste of humanity.

[Brazil]

TP !! come on' pal you can do it

[100%duncan]

TP bricks the FT. damn

[Crookshanks]

5 on Perkins - keep at him and foul him out.

[ace3g]

still missing FTs though

[spursfanincolorado]

Fucking FT;s

I wanna punch babies right now, jK

[ginobili fan]

Motherfucking parker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Great contet by Duncan

[Fireball]

Tp !!! +1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And here comes TP. He's had so many huge 4th Qs this year, it's almost like he bides his time for it.

[Brazil]

fucking FTs

[RashoFan]

TP knows all about THE NASTY

:lol

[Crookshanks]

7 missed freethrows - that makes a big difference in this game.

[Libri]

Love Jackson's attitude.

It's a nasty attitude.

[SpursRock20]

SuperMANU!

[MannyIsGod]

Manu and TP perfect!

[100%duncan]

How that be not a technical on Perkins?

[RashoFan]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursfanincolorado]

Manu nice inbound

[Otaku]

Spurs are rolling again. Game over.

[loveforthegame]

Manu!! Easiest bucket of the night.

[Chachachango]

Really DFIsh

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jesus Christ Fisher

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck fisher. Great shooting from him.

[ffadicted]

42% from the line, cmon

[Libri]

damn you Fisher.

[Brazil]

Yessss Manu I love u dude !! welcome to the 2012 POs !!

[spursfanincolorado]

Fucking Fish - I wish he would not shoot

[slick'81]

lol harden flop

[Chachachango]

LOLOLOLOLOL what was that? weird shit manu does.

[Josepatches_]

Fisher >>> Sessions

[Spurs Brazil]

great play Manu. Make those

[ballhog]

Hahaha Harden!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

NOW we're running plays properly!? Why'd it take so long?

[100%duncan]

C'mon Neal just stay in front of Fish. Don't risk by stealing!

[Texas_Ranger]

harden didn't want Duncan to pull him up...

[jiggy_55]

Loving this but it's gonna give me heart problems soon! Let's finish em!

[Spurologist]

I love that Manu doesn't have to go against sefalosha in the 4th

[Budkin]

Keep going to Manu.... please!

[Russo21]

way to stick with it spurs. lets finish this off well

[MannyIsGod]

Credit to the players for executing here in the fourth but god damn if I can't give credit to this comeback to Pop and his talk asking for more toughness.

[Juggity]

Manu in flopping god mode

[LakerLanny]

How that be not a technical on Perkins?

He is allowed to yell at the refs more than any player since Michael Jordan. Why I have no idea.

[SpursRock20]

Whichever team loses this game will be kicking themselves. The Thunder will because of their missed dunks and the Spurs because of their missed free throws and turnovers.

[slick'81]

harden turning away from timmys hand lol

[Uriel]

It looks like the initial hesitation and reluctance has worn off as the team has gotten into the flow of the game. Let's hope they can keep it up. :tu

[therealtruth]

Derek Fisher is killing us. I think we need a better defensive lineup.

[Brazil]

Fisher, second best OKC scorer tonite... I hate fisher I hate fisher

[Spurologist]

Keep Jackson in, he is slowly getting in Durant's head.

:tu

[LakerLanny]

Credit to the players for executing here in the fourth but god damn if I can't give credit to this comeback to Pop and his talk asking for more toughness.

Neal made some big plays when things weren't looking good.

[Fireball]

harden didn't want Duncan to pull him up...

the right thing to do in the playoffs ... tbh

[100%duncan]

Keep Jax in the game as long as Durant is in it too.

[Otaku]

Manu in flopping god mode

:downspin:

[Russo21]

Credit to the players for executing here in the fourth but god damn if I can't give credit to this comeback to Pop and his talk asking for more toughness.

yep that was a legendary peptalk lol. are we having fun?

[timvp]

Alright, time for calm. Fourth quarter execution. This is what you have to do if you want to win a championship.

Calm. Precision. Nasty.

Believe.

[Supergirl]

Announcers pointed out that Joey Crawford tried to wave off an obvious foul that happened right in front of him, anyone else catch that?

[slick'81]

enjoy it guys this is just the beginning

[007nites]

Fisher is pissing me off. Fuck that guy lol

[Warlord23]

If the Spurs don't build up a 6 to 8 point cushion entering the last 2 mins, I'd give the edge to the Thunder because of Durant and Derek fucking Fisher

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's made Harden look like a rookie tonight. I knew he'd show up for this series, kinda like Hakeem destroying David after the MVP trophy ceremony. :lol :oops

[Budkin]

FTs coming up?

[slick'81]

fishers got the rape eyes dude is locked in

[Crookshanks]

Did I mention how much I hate Fisher - can't say it enough. I've hated him with a passion ever since .4. Why can't he just retire...

[spursfanincolorado]

Time to nut the fuck up

[DPG21920]

Credit to the players for executing here in the fourth but god damn if I can't give credit to this comeback to Pop and his talk asking for more toughness.

Agree. Pop was spot on, saw what was happening and addressed it in a meaningful way :tu

[Fireball]

i think the word nasty will appear pretty often for the rest of this series ...

[100%duncan]

C'mon Guys! One last run! Finish em off!

[slick'81]

we have the fisher counter though...neal

[Brazil]

It's like the POs start today tbh

and fuck the tbh hater

[Spurs Brazil]

yep, FTs

[Russo21]

Announcers pointed out that Joey Crawford tried to wave off an obvious foul that happened right in front of him, anyone else catch that?

i started a thread about that lol, durant elbowed stephen jackson in the face, crawford waived it off leaving it to the other official to see some sense and call the foul. crawford is an asshole

[bklynspursfan]

Alright, time for calm. Fourth quarter execution. This is what you have to do if you want to win a championship.

Calm. Precision. Nasty.

Believe.

:toast Sure hope so... I've forgotten what a close meaningful game feels like and I'm nervous as hell.

[Libri]

Harden hasn't shot any freethrows. That's a huge plus.

[SpurPadre]

If anybody still questions whether we'd be better off with RJ...watch Jax's D tonight and you'll see why that is completely WRONG.

[$pursDynasty]

we need some seperation can't let the Thunder stay within one score of a win because they have 3 stone cold killers as shooters and Dfish is having a flashback too

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs have finally settled down. Not making risky passes, or over-passing, not gambling on D, just executing and playing tough. Why did it take 3 Qs for them to find the sweet spot they've had most of the season??? :lol

[Chachachango]

Fuck, a lil over 5 minutes left. THis is going to be a frucking crazy ending.

[spursfanincolorado]

Off Topic - could you see TD being a coach some day or is that against his personality? I think him or David Robinson would be great....

[SpursRock20]

Manu showing the team how to make free throws. He has the most poise of any of the Spurs. Even Tim has looked a bit nervous tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Jax playign some damn good D

[Crookshanks]

i think the word nasty will appear pretty often for the rest of this series ...

I like it! NASTY!!!!

[Chachachango]

Fucking neal keeps leavingfisher opern Fuck fuck fuck

[ace3g]

[Josepatches_]

Small ball sons

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

[spursfanincolorado]

Neal with the dagger - need a dozen more!

[loveforthegame]

Neal with it.

[Brazil]

Yes Neal with it !!!!!!!!!!!! love this guy

TP with the assists good in the fourth

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Refs babying Durant.

[RashoFan]

Yes!!!! Looks like we are getting some momentum...

[PingPong]

Neal letting Fisher wide open, but hitting 3s

[Spurs Brazil]

crap call

[jiggy_55]

Gary Neal you motherfucker HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 3333333333

[Budkin]

Stupid ass foul TP

[Quiet Strength]

SJ's defense has been great on durant.

[100%duncan]

Fuck you refs.

[lrrr]

Gary is the anti Bonner

[spurspokesman]

Nealllllllllllll

[wut]

Durant going to the line for being sneezed on....

[Uriel]

Gary Neal you motherfucker HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 3333333333

:lol

[Crookshanks]

All you Gary Neal haters - how you feel now???

[ace3g]

Perkins and Manu got tangled up there

[slick'81]

perkins throwing a bow at manu

[Russo21]

go spurs go

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop should foul Perkins now

[ace3g]

come on Manu, I need you to be the high scorer of this game

[SpursRock20]

Game might come down to free throws. Come on Manu!

[100%duncan]

Just keep attacking the rim. Convert and shoot the FTs and we gon be good.

[Libri]

Harden with 4 fouls.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal HAS to do a better job of staying with Fish, but I love his fearless shooting. Neal is the anti-Green tonight.

BTW - not hating on Green, but he looks out of his depth tonight.

[_jin]

manu is schooling harden

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal HAS to do a better job of staying with Fish, but I love his fearless shooting. Neal is the anti-Green tonight.

BTW - not hating on Green, but he looks out of his depth tonight.

[ffadicted]

All things aside, KD's stroke is fucking magestic

[Spursfanfromafar]

Its the Manu-Neal show..

[Crookshanks]

TP just can't get a break tonight. He's playing crappy and getting called for stupid fouls. The good thing is that lately he doesn't usually have two crap games in a row.

[Otaku]

Manu winning the game himself.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard and especially Jackson have made Durant work.

[DPG21920]

Let me preface this by saying I don't expect Jax to keep this level up, but:

I didnt think Jax would have a lot of success against Durant, but even though he's slower footed than Kawhi, he's strong and plays Durant like another guy who's had success: Artest.

[Russo21]

manuuuu he's back!

[Fireball]

Manu showing Harden whos the boss here

[007nites]

No threes please

[spursfanincolorado]

Manu with the clutch FT's - nice effort

[SpursRock20]

Neal HAS to do a better job of staying with Fish, but I love his fearless shooting. Neal is the anti-Green tonight.

BTW - not hating on Green, but he looks out of his depth tonight.

Green should not start in game 2, just my opinion.

[100%duncan]

I would actually love to hack a perkins right now,

[slick'81]

what really

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wouldn't surprise me if Pop shorten the rotation and we don't see much of Green and Bonner from here on in. All depends how they play in first half of game 2.

[Brazil]

time to bump again the manu will not score 20 pts anymore thread :lmao

[ballhog]

Foul that Perkins

[DPG21920]

Neal HAS to do a better job of staying with Fish, but I love his fearless shooting. Neal is the anti-Green tonight.

BTW - not hating on Green, but he looks out of his depth tonight.

You are hating. Have been all night. Danny has not passed up a single shot.

[007nites]

Post up Duncan on Perkins next possession

[100%duncan]

Perkins hits. fuck

[Spurtacus]

fisher out thank the maker

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slick'81]

thabo back in lol

[100%duncan]

Manu to Tim!

[spursfanincolorado]

Flawless Execution - Nasty

[Russo21]

All things aside, KD's stroke is fucking magestic

sure is. such a quick release to.

Duncan from Manu! wooo

[Libri]

Spurs kicking ass!

[RashoFan]

Timmay!
