[ffadicted]

In Manu we trust

[Brazil]

4 looonnnggg mn

[loveforthegame]

Beautiful.

[slick'81]

wow that was bullshit

[Quiet Strength]

Bullshit.. okc only scoring because of free throws.

[100%duncan]

Fucking refs babying Durant now. Damn this shit.

[SpursRock20]

I thought they were not calling that a foul anymore? WTF

[MannyIsGod]

That pick and roll was a thing of beauty

[Spurs Brazil]

Here come the refs

[ace3g]

Timmy!!!

while Green had a bad game against Jazz game 1 as well, see if he adjusts game 2 before getting worried

[slick'81]

bad call

[wut]

Durant sneezed yet again and is on the line....coincidence?

[m33p0]

oh my god :lol@foul

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is killing this game. Fuck you, Manu-haters! :lol

[Chachachango]

Damn, stphen Jackson needs to try not to foul. He's doing a great job defending Durant.

[DPG21920]

Timmy, while Green had a bad game against Jazz game 1 as well, see if he adjusts game 2 before getting worried

Exactly. Just haters.

[spursfanincolorado]

Durant does not hardly miss-

[100%duncan]

BR! I'm calling you out son! Preach! NBA WWE all over again!

[BRHornet45]

Tony got that fire! Tony got that fire! Erin holla at him if you want that oscar mayer!!!

[siraulo23]

damn FT contest here

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's go TD

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Manu destroying people.

[Russo21]

hit those free throws timmay

[Quiet Strength]

Come on timmy.. you gotta make these

[slick'81]

lol manu blowing by thabo

[Juggity]

Spurs playing remarkably better this quarter

[Richie]

cmon duncan, step it up. Make them when it counts

[Libri]

Spurs just pounding the middle.

[Otaku]

Manu has 8 eyes.




And 4 balls.

[DPG21920]

Free throw contest. Tough for SA...just focus.

[spursfanincolorado]

TD makes his FT

[100%duncan]

2/2 from TImmay!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Timmy!!!!

[Otaku]

Manu has 8 eyes.




And 4 balls.

[Russo21]

yeah baby

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the refs

[Quiet Strength]

lol what the fuck is this shit

[Josepatches_]

Manu still the boss here

[Uriel]

It's AMAZING how many calls Durant gets. smh.

[slick'81]

this is ridiculous

[100%duncan]

OMG. We are getting screwed by the refs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax has definitely lost a step on O, but his D has been superb tonight. :tu

[SpursRock20]

This is bullshit! Refs are ruining the pace of this game.

[ballhog]

Fucking Durant living at the FT line

[wut]

Durant sneezes again for the 3rd time and is on the line.

[Trainwreck2100]

i knew this shit was gonna happen

[Richie]

Jax is gonna foul out at this rate. Need to stop putting Durant on the line

[Juggity]

Fuck, another foul on Durant

[LakerLanny]

Greg Willard with the typical NBA 4th qtr phantom foul call for Durant.

What a joke

[ffadicted]

....

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus christ. Reggie Miller going to the tested card, AGAIN.

[OZWIN]

Love how Duncan is keeping everyone focus and calm. Gotta love watching Duncan game in and game out.

[slick'81]

i mean jax cant touch him

[DPG21920]

Spurs need multiple stops. Get this to 3 possessions.

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't like this timeout

[LakerLanny]

It's AMAZING how many calls Durant gets. smh.

Tell me about it.

[vander]

FT shooting contest :sleep

[slick'81]

refs keeping thunder in game

[siraulo23]

damn, FT contest indeed

[SpurPadre]

Refs have forced us to win this game with offense now. Thunder are getting all the calls now.

[Budkin]

We have to get some fucking stops!

[100%duncan]

BR! We need your preaching son! Mcmahon taking over!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're going to see a lot of small ball in this series. Jax/Kawhi better get used to playing PF.

[loveforthegame]

Making fts when it matters.

Jax is going to foul out I think. Thankfully we can come back with Leonard.

[BRHornet45]

sons stop whining its fair game so far. freebies are close

[Keepin' it real]

Those fouls on Durant look legit. No gift calls ... yet.

[ffadicted]

Durant is gonna end up with more FTs than our whole team, watch

[m33p0]

sjax could be in another dimension and the refs would still call a foul on him.

[Nathan89]

Put Kwahi on Durant. Jack can't guard him. Plus he has played too long now.

[Libri]

Fucking Durant living at the FT line

Yeah but Westbrook and Harden have not.

[Marco]

Too much Jax, why not Kawhi?

[Brazil]

Durant with btbtb call unbelievable

[baseline bum]

Damn, can't get a stop on Durant. Spurs gotta figure something.

[therealtruth]

Jax has done a good job. Give KL the chance to close it out. KD is figuring out how Jax is playing him.

[Supergirl]

Durant starts his parade to the FT line...

[BRHornet45]

however still a lot of time left for Stern to step in. remember its ONLY game 1 ... he wants this thing to go 7 games

[Russo21]

Love how Duncan is keeping everyone focus and calm. Gotta love watching Duncan game in and game out.

thats the GOAT for ya :toast

[spurspokesman]

My gosh durant is protected. Sheesh.

[timvp]

Okay, nothing has been accomplished yet. The Thunder are going to keep scoring, so the offense has to keep attacking. Execute your plays; make OKC pay for being small.

On defense, no fouls and no three-pointers. Anything else is acceptable.

Thank you.

Believe.

[024]

spurs going to need to keep scoring, they aren't going to stop durant.

[100%duncan]

It's like someone from our team raped the refs daughters. Damn you WWE.

[Spurologist]

SJAX need to force more contested jumpers from KD.....foul or not refs will by babysitting him

[Budkin]

If Durant drives and there are players around him... it's a foul. Period.

[slick'81]

either durant makes it or gets to the line theres no in between right now

[Floyd Pacquiao]

gotta get stops and score cmon spurs

[007nites]

I think driving to the rim is the most important thing right now

[Fireball]

we will see the FT gap widen on the road ...

[DPG21920]

Well, it's only fitting a series against okc is like this. Mavs & Lakers did not execute or close okc out, can the Spurs be different?

[Brazil]

sons stop whining its fair game so far. freebies are close

son Durant went to the line 3 times in a row :lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Stern has spoken.

[jiggy_55]

Making fts when it matters.

Jax is going to foul out I think. Thankfully we can come back with Leonard.

Leonard needs to play under the skin of Durant similar how Jack is playing him now. Don't give him much space and Spurs defenders rotate if he drives into the lane

[100%duncan]

sons stop whining its fair game so far. freebies are close
3 straight phantom fouls on KD tbh

[BRHornet45]

go Spurs go! - N.O. Spirit Fans

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Time for Leonard to take on Durant? Holy crap, what a test for the kid. He's come through every test so far with flying colours, but here comes the pressure cooker! :

[BillMc]

Green and Bonner shouldn't see the floor the rest of the game.

[joeSpurs]

The refs are going to decide this game ...

[Marco]

Put Kawhi on KD. Period

[Uriel]

Okay, nothing has been accomplished yet. The Thunder are going to keep scoring, so the offense has to keep attacking. Execute your plays; make OKC pay for being small.

On defense, no fouls and no three-pointers. Anything else is acceptable.

Thank you.

Believe.

How?

[Keepin' it real]

Bring it home, Neal!!!

[ginobili fan]

Okay, nothing has been accomplished yet. The Thunder are going to keep scoring, so the offense has to keep attacking. Execute your plays; make OKC pay for being small.

On defense, no fouls and no three-pointers. Anything else is acceptable.

Thank you.

Amen

[wut]

Jesus christ. Reggie Miller going to the tested card, AGAIN.
ok so lets get this straight, the "never been tested" is BULLSHIT....it's a way of saying Spurs haven't done anything deserving praise for going 18 games without losing because they haven't played a "real team" ... that's horseshit. Coming back down 24 to win a playoff game is called tested....

[jiggy_55]

The Thunder look flustered, another 1 or 2 well executed plays by the spurs will be good enough

[Spurs Brazil]

[ArtVandelay]

OKC winning would have swung the series

[SpursRock20]

[DPG21920]

Gary, great play! Jax was like "Tim, I don't like people touching my head foo"

[BRHornet45]

Manny son will you be campaigning for that long legged freak again this election year?

[jiggy_55]

And some of u retards compared him to RJ!,! Intensity, smarts, defense!

[slick'81]

thank u westbrook

[Uriel]

No! Westbrook can't be injured. We need him to screw up the Thunder offense.

[Spurologist]

Neal is money on those screens

[Brazil]

[Nathan89]

Game is far from over so shut up people.

[lefty]

Jax putting his dick in Pressure's mouth

[slick'81]

[_jin]

[GSH]

That was NASTY!!!!

[Russo21]

lol imagine if richard jefferson was out there instead of our leonard jackson combo

[Brazil]

great play Russel

[Richie]

Makin' love to pressure.

[100%duncan]

Texas_Ranger: Jefferson woulda done better than Jax. Fuck that scrub.

:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Joey Crawford with the Spurs-friendly call. Who'd a thunk it? :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

i love stephen jackson

[timvp]

I didn't even celebrate that Jax three. When he got that look, I had already counted the three points.

That was so money it wasn't even excitement-worthy, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Texas Ranger you fucking fag.

:cry RJ would have played better than Jax :cry

[Budkin]

Is Westbrook really hurt?

[Chachachango]

No! Westbrook can't be injured. We need him to screw up the Thunder offense.


Are you my brother?

[Spurologist]

hope Westbrook is alright

[bklynspursfan]

Get another stop and bucket and we got this game

[NRHector]

that dumbass is just taking a break he's ok

[Crookshanks]

Playoff Jax INVENTED the NASTY

Oh yeah! :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

westbrook has such a fitting face for his IQ

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Shit. That Jackson 3 made me jump out of my chair. THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!

[Danny.Zhu]

Thank you Jax.

[Chachachango]

Doodoo jump sucks. I wasted a dollar on that shit.

[Texas_Ranger]

Jax just said fuck you to me, cause of the RJ comment. :rollin

[Libri]

lol imagine if richard jefferson was out there instead of our leonard jackson combo

I don't want to imagine.

[Budkin]

He's fine.

[slick'81]

lol westbrook trying to take over

[Kyl3]

God, I really didn't want to see that Durant commercial right now.

[ginobili fan]

Hope Westbrook is okay

[ballhog]

Westbrook more bruised ego than anything else there

[Paranoid Pop]

If Westbrooks goes down and Fisher starts from now on we're fucked.

[Otaku]

Westbrook just injured his ego.

[wut]

"never been tested" is a national media narrative to yet again try to discredit the Spurs..... watch if they use that crap because we haven't gone into OKC to win yet.

[m33p0]

that was a gutsy 3 by captain jack

[MannyIsGod]

Westbrook milking shit. Give me a break and get the fuck up.

[DPG21920]

Score here, boys.

[Kobayagi]

Give Neal some props for taking all those charges.

[slick'81]

I didn't even celebrate that Jax three. When he got that look, I had already counted the three points.

That was so money it wasn't even excitement-worthy, tbh.


thats a no brainer

[Spursfanfromafar]

Sjax playing great defense, being super clutch and having the best +/- of +15 so far..

[100%duncan]

Fuck. Rushing that possession

[Quiet Strength]

Dumb play

[slick'81]

Westbrook milking shit. Give me a break and get the fuck up.

Jax's D is giving me a hard on.

[MannyIsGod]

If LJ doesn't give Jax an A+ we're going to have a problem.

[Budkin]

Get Neal out!!!

[Fireball]

I didn't even celebrate that Jax three. When he got that look, I had already counted the three points.

That was so money it wasn't even excitement-worthy, tbh.

I hope I did not wake up my girlfriend ... and here Timvp is calm and collected

[LakerLanny]

leonard played durant pretty good, but he's too 'nice'

jax is 'nasty'

[Brazil]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Crap for 3Qs, and then we wake up and BRING IT. YEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEES!!!

[LakerLanny]

What is that?

[mfanatic]

To be honest I'd be very suprised if this series goes more than 5.

[Chachachango]

Did neal leave Harden open?

[spursfanincolorado]

Nice Manu!

[m33p0]

that was a bucket of cold water by harden

[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.
