Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 2

[Danny.Zhu]

the timeout worked...

[InK]

Gotta love this guy.......

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago playing great

[Holt's Cat]

Cap'n Jack with the trizzay, as it were.

[ginobili fan]

Captain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

:wow

That's a fucking beautiful pass by Splitter....finding Green on the cut

Green is in the zone on both ends of the floor right now.

[siraulo23]

buckettttttttttttttttttttsss

[ballhog]

Great rebounding and passing last few possessions

[baseline bum]

Damn, Tiago is a badass passer.

[noles1983]

go for their throat, don't let up Spurs!

[Fireball]

Stephen Jackson is just nasty ... no other word to describe him ...

[InRareForm]

Scotty brooks is our friend lol... leaving westbrook out 5+ minutes.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Thunder bench can not come close to defending Tiago

[ffadicted]

Just came in, quickie update on how the game is going?

[mVp]

Looking great right now!

[MannyIsGod]

Playoff Jax

[Manu-20]

thank god for Jackson.

[Spursnlego]

:p:Wonder what Pop said in that timeout?

[DatBoyGood]

I really didn't expect jax to make that hesitation 3 lol but lets go! keep this lead!

[Spurs Brazil]

We're killing their bench.

[Kuestmaster]

Jaxxxxxx
Man I love these guys

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Liking the start so far. Gotta keep it up, though!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax has a permanent hitch in every 3 now, but it seems to work. :lol

[Russo21]

Splitter is the best roll-man in the NBA, and one of the best passing bigs.

agree

[timvp]

Tim you know that is designed to happen. Pop wants Fisher to be the one to beat us NOT Durant or Hardin.

The Spurs are never to leave a corner three-point shooter on the strong side of the ball. Never. And Neal did it twice in a minute.

Then got benched.

[jiggy_55]

Splitter is the best roll-man in the NBA, and one of the best passing bigs.

Very true. One of the very best when he rolls because of his efficiency to take good shots and make em or pass right out of it to open cutters and shooters.

[Warlord23]

The bench minus Neal getting it done

[Bambililos]

Great team play. Nobody can beat those Spurs.

[GB20]

wow
when splitter is playing like this, the spurs hard to beat.

[100%duncan]

If Tiago improves his FT he would be very great.

[Drz]

Hope you're all noticing how much Bonner's floor spacing has affected the last few possessions.

[Fireball]

Tiago and SJax have great chemistry ... Jax is never ignoring Tiago on the roll like Neal does

[Sa_Spursfan20]

I really didn't expect jax to make that hesitation 3 lol but lets go! keep this lead!

I didn't either, but it went in so who cares right? Captain Jack! :flag:

[timvp]

Splitter is the best roll-man in the NBA, and one of the best passing bigs.

Splitter is the best roll-man I've seen since Karl Malone, tbh.

[Russo21]

Jax has a permanent hitch in every 3 now, but it seems to work. :lol

its a bit weird isnt it, dunno when he changed his shot like that

[DMC]

Kerr: European bigs pass better for some reason


Really? Maybe they are taught to pass instead of just stand under the rim and dunk?

[Holt's Cat]

Scotty Brooks panics now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I've been saying ti all year - the PNR with Splitter and Manu (usually, sometimes Parker, Jax or even Neal) against the other team's bench is the most unstoppable play in the NBA. Most of the time it results in either a layup or wide open corner 3. Love to see the stats on it.

[Fireball]

Westbrook is fresh now .... lets see

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[100%duncan]

Turtle head

[Holt's Cat]

Westbrook you pussy

[loveforthegame]

The hell?

[Spurologist]

That was a clean play by Westbrook

[100%duncan]

I hope Reggie Miller would just shut the fuck up tbh.

[ffadicted]

Westbrook just mad he got beat

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter is the best roll-man I've seen since Karl Malone, tbh.

Good call. :tu

[tlongII]

Spurs getting a lot of homer calls.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao @ Kerr acting like you can run someone over if you get ball. WTF??@?@?@

[ginobili fan]

Fuck West brook

[spursfan1000]

Hopefully that pissed Parker off

[Libri]

That was a clean play by Westbrook

Expect the make-up call.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

how is TP shooting 80% FT for the season? he always seems tp miss one of two

[100%duncan]

Rebound?

[Spurs Brazil]

take Bonner out

[Admidave50]

Man, Tony hates the "MVP" chants

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Every time crowd chants MVP Parker misses FT. I think it gets to him. :lol

[EVAY]

Where the hell is Duncan?

[Kidd K]

I'm glad fisher did so great in game 1. He keeps jacking it up thinking he's going to shoot 100% again and he's just shooting OKC out of the game. Nice.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs scrambling too much on defense right now.

[MannyIsGod]

Thats just disgusting.

[urunobili]

Parker 360 crazy layin

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Too many 2nd chances!

[Kidd K]

Westbrook needs to retape his ankles after that one!

[100%duncan]

TP9! Nasty!

[Holt's Cat]

Tony is pissed

[urunobili]

Parker inside again

[ballhog]

tp!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Parker that was sick.

Harden locked in.

Parker again!

[100%duncan]

TP has definitely been beasting this half.

[$pursDynasty]

I love that play by TP don't fear Ibaka take it to the hole

[Spurs Brazil]

great block Green!!!

[Uriel]

Ugh, Timmy.

[Admidave50]

TP is no happy, that's good! Nice roll

[MannyIsGod]

Somewhere Sean is saying "tragic johnson".

[Spurologist]

TD --- pass the fucking ball.....tp was right there

[100%duncan]

Pass the ball, Tim.

[Holt's Cat]

Green with the block

[GB20]

bad play by timmy

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP might go for 40 tonight.

[JRHernandez88]

Hell yeah it's starting to get physical.

[loveforthegame]

Give the ball to your pg Duncan.

[Fireball]

wish I could listen to Sean now

[100%duncan]

Damn, and we lose the possession.

[spurspokesman]

Taboo but stupid play by duncan

[Kidd K]

and here come the whistles.

[siraulo23]

cmon duncan dont go tragic

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

timmy not doing too well offensively

[Admidave50]

Come on Tim, pass the ball

[icango]

:rolleyes
TD --- pass the fucking ball.....tp was right there

[DMC]

Tim sometimes forgets he's a big.

[JRHernandez88]

Lmao. Ref, "I'm running this shit yor not!" not sure who he was talkin to though.

[100%duncan]

Fuck that Ibaka is 66% on the line, he makes it everytime. REBOUND FUCKER.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

"I'm running this game! You're not!!"

????

[baseline bum]

Wow, was that Artis leading the break? :lol

[007nites]

I like how TP is fighting over the screens so well

[noles1983]

spurs cant even box out wtf

[Bulwark]

Who's yelling: 'I'm running this game, you're not.'

[icango]

3 second thank you

[spursfan1000]

If we lose it will be because of rebounds!

[100%duncan]

TP Money!

[loveforthegame]

Good defense after losing the rebound.

[ballhog]

Tony shows Westbrook how it's done!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we lose this game it will be on 2nd chances and missed FTs.

[Danny.Zhu]

come on... lost 9 defensive rebounds already...

[007nites]

Duncan 471 blocks

[Texas_Ranger]

get the fucking rebound!!!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Lmao. Ref, "I'm running this shit yor not!" not sure who he was talkin to though.
i heard it but it sounded like Brooks......

[Kyl3]

Lmao. Ref, "I'm running this shit yor not!" not sure who he was talkin to though.

I heard that too. I was cracking up.

[DMC]

good... good.. everyone get pissed and give the Spurs some free throws

[Uriel]

:lol Thunder butthurt after not getting their usual gifts from the refs

[loveforthegame]

Get a damn rebound. Embarrassing.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OKC 9 offensive boards. Not good enough.

[ginobili fan]

Parker is the best defensive PG in the game.

[baseline bum]

Damnit Tony, don't go under the screen. :pctoss

[100%duncan]

Now Westbrook hits his 3's. Really?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Who's yelling: 'I'm running this game, you're not.'
sounded like Brooks tbh

[siraulo23]

oh my

rebounds!!

[100%duncan]

WTF Manu!

[Holt's Cat]

Tf?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Can't get sloppy

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu with a stupid ass shot

[ballhog]

What are you doing Manu?????

[noles1983]

spurs choking away lead. stupid ass manu

[DatBoyGood]

wow manu

[100%duncan]

Damn. This half will end bad.

[tlongII]

Thunder getting absolutely HOSED by the refs!

[Warlord23]

Just not playing smart basketball

[timvp]

Manu, W in the F.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck, rebounds killing us. They're still in the game because of it. Finish strong

[bklynspursfan]

Dam a basket there would've been nice

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Timmy gotta stop coasting

[InK]

Clean up the boards ffs, we would be up by 20 with decent rebounding

[loveforthegame]

Dumb shot by Ginobili. Great steal by Diaw though.

Rebounds killing the Spurs right now.

[spursfan1000]

Only thing you have to do after defending is getting a rebound, wow!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF Manu? Use the clock.

[spurspokesman]

Spurs playing the thunders game. Stupid bball. A pop speech is in order.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs getting too sloppy. Stay focused.

[Manu-20]

Stupid shot by manu glad pop called that time out not worried at all tbh spurs will come out strong and finish this half.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That's why mookie will always insist manu, is the worst spur of the Duncan era

[spursfan 73]

If the Spurs were rebounding it would be a 15+ point game even with RWB making bs 3s

[DatBoyGood]

In a way im kinda hoping we go to the duncan splitter combo

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Thunder getting absolutely HOSED by the refs!

gfy twice

[icango]

manu should have attack the basket, then pass to diaw, pass to duncan for the dunk. spurs way to play

[Spurologist]

bonehead plays keeping OKC in it.

TD hasn't got back into the flow of the game after resting for 8 minutes. We are gonna need him to stay active.

OKC is seemingly getting every rebound

[Libri]

Spurs playing the thunders game. Stupid bball. A pop speech is in order.

A Pop nasty speech.

[DMC]

Thunder would still be in the game if we were up 25 right now. Too much game left, we need to keep it close (not too close) in order to keep our focus. Don't need OKC with a big comeback.

[100%duncan]

We gotta finish the half big or we are in for some trouble. Rebound! Be Smart! More Nasty!

[Kidd K]

Thunder getting absolutely HOSED by the refs!

No they're not. Ibaka tripping people into other players doesn't = foul on Spurs.

[Uriel]

I'm worried we're only up 9 with the way we've been playing. :(

When the series shifts to OKC, it's hard to see the Thunder losing at all.

[Hooks]

Spurs should be up by 18, too many damn offensive rebounds!

[Russo21]

enough with the tbh

[spursfan1000]

Parker Leonard Jackson duncan splitter would be nice to end half

[GSH]

It's so damned important to finish quarters strong, and the Spurs have just given OKC all the momentum at the end of this one. Especially that last shot by Manu. They had a whole shot clock in front of them to make something happen.

That was just dumb.

[007nites]

This game should be a blowout by now

[GB20]

come on spurs

[DMC]

It's already nasty, need intelligent nasty though. I think Manu was trying to draw a shooting foul.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

2nd chance points are the only reason OKC is in this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

great pass Boris

[DMC]

Not sure everyone got the memo, but the Thunder are a fucking good team, we aren't going to blow them out.

[100%duncan]

Great play.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Kawhi smile

[ALVAREZ6]

Fucking Manu, par the course.



Am I the only one that hates when Duncan gets all cute and shows off his above average dribbling skills for a big man by dribbling down the court into the half court on offense? I cannot stand it. It doesn't normally result in a turnover but it's just a stupid thing to do in such a competitive game, he always has guards next to him, why the fuck can't he just give them the ball?

Gets tied up and loses the jump ball, turnover on offense, and the Thunder make a FT and get an offensive rebound on the miss and had they made it that is a huge swing and momentum crusher. Totally unnecessary.

I hate unnecessary jackassery. End rant.

[ginobili fan]

We are a softer team than OKC if not we should be up by 20+

[Kidd K]

Anyone else sick of Perkins not getting called for his constant moving picks? He's almost never standing still on those screens.

[Capt Bringdown]

Uncomfortable. OKC too close.

[spursfan 73]

wide open 3 Kawai, pull the dang trigger

[loveforthegame]

You knew they would make a run. Spurs need to answer.

[Uriel]

Rookie mistake. Ugh. :(

[JRHernandez88]

Russel going for the bait!

[100%duncan]

C'mon Whi, shoot that.

[Libri]

Make Westbrook become a three point shooter. That's not his game.

[Spurologist]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DatBoyGood]

Duncan!

[ffadicted]

O.O Duncan

[urunobili]

[maverick1948]

I havent seen that kind of dunk since Tim was 30. DAMNNNNNNN

[007nites]

Timmy almost broke the rim

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Welcome to Timmy's poster collection, Serge. :lol

[spurspokesman]

That's sports center top 10

[tediousj]

And THAT's why Ibaka didn't play in the 4th. Damn Timmy!!!!!

[ca®lo]

[spursfanincolorado]

TD with a nice block on WB

[Libri]

Tim with some payback.

[JRHernandez88]

Damn man Timmy is looking freakin GREAT.

[Fireball]

Tim with the block !!!

[spursfan1000]

We should be up by a lot more, we allowed them too many offensive rebounds.

[DMC]

Where did 2008 Tim go? This is 2003 Tim.

[baseline bum]

Eat a dick Westbrook

[Holt's Cat]

Spurs should be up by 25.

[spursfanincolorado]

I'm guessing Timmy got an A for the first half!

[ballhog]

Good scoring first half. Keep it rollin'

[Manu20]

Nice finish to end the Half....Spurs up by 11!

[Whisky Dog]

Tim D is in "I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck" mode

[100%duncan]

Tim ties Hakeem for number 1 PO blocker!

[Spurologist]

Thank you TD for the renewed energy

[Russo21]

timmy tied hakeem for all time playoff blocks, how sweet is that !!
