Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 2

[100%duncan]

Timmy passes an open J and shoots a contested fadeaway shot. Smh.

[Spurs Brazil]

stupid foul STUPID

It's fucking FT parade now

FUCK

[Spurologist]

Fuck fuck

[ffadicted]

Fucking bullshit

[ALVAREZ6]

Goddamnit Duncan just fucking shoot that ball. You suck at fading away yet you love that shot. Diaw now with 5 fouls? Goddamnit, this is not looking good.

[TheProfessor]

You can expect a call on the smallest bit of contact now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn, we should be up 30 now. If we'd controlled the boards and made FTs we would be. Instead, game is in the balance.

[Uriel]

Damn, I'm getting worried. :(

[RashoFan]

:ihit
Let's finish this Spurs!!!:makemyday

[100%duncan]

This is going to end up bad. Please please please Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

This is gonna be damn long quarter.

[Drz]

I love how this game thread completely melted down over Bonner over the last 10 minutes even though the away from the ball foul was the only mistake he made.

[noles1983]

fuck this is so annoying, should not have lost that huge lead

[naico]

These refs

[loveforthegame]

In the penalty hurts this early. Damn.

Come on Spurs!!

[baseline bum]

Shit, 5 fouls on Diaw. This game is slipping away. :depressed

[DMC]

At least one game in this series we're going to lose because of FTs late.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're hesitant, totally lost the momentum, and they are in the bonus. This is not good at all.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on Spurs

[100%duncan]

Manu and TP attack the paint!

[spurspokesman]

Wow major meltdown in order. Just flat out stupid play down the stretch.

[ffadicted]

Sad thing is we're probably gonna lose this game solely because of free throws from now on

[ALVAREZ6]

I can't believe this is an 8 point game.

[Mal]

calm down, that`s all OKC can give. They thrown everything they`ve got.

[DatBoyGood]

ugh manu

[urunobili]

great effort by Kawhi

[Rummpd]

What happened to Stephen Jackson

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs gotta attack the rim

[noles1983]

ginobili....

[therealtruth]

Pop getting outcoached by Scott Brooks. The Spurs need to make the Thunder pay for their aggressiveness.

[loveforthegame]

Attack. Move the ball.

Good hustle by Leonard.

[ginobili fan]

come on manu you need to wake up!!!

[ALVAREZ6]

Manu and TP attack the paint!

This :tu

[100%duncan]

Shots not falling in....

[Crookshanks]

All those missed freethrows are looming large right now. We'd still have a safe lead if not for those 11 missed freethrows. Hack-a-Splitter really killed us.

[Spurs Brazil]

ATTACK. stop with those 3s

[Spurologist]

lost all rhythm

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Come on Spurs. Get it together...

[noles1983]

spurs need to make some damn shots, run your sets fuckers

[$pursDynasty]

Reggie is right Spurs settling for too many perimeter shots

[Rummpd]

Big turnover. Come on Ginoblili

[ffadicted]

shooting like 0% in the 4th, fuck

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good fight on this possession. Now, score.

[TheProfessor]

Thunder still making some stupid mistakes. We can get this back, just need to run the offense and not rush...

[sexinthatsx]

it's time for tim duncan to get in teh game and start posting up tbh...

[ballhog]

Spurs cold shooting. Gotta hold on

[Drz]

I can't believe this is an 8 point game.
It's been 8 points the entire time the loonies in this thread have been freaking out. People freaking out over nothing. Yeah, we're not looking good, but neither are they.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

fuk man

[Uriel]

Dodged a bullet there.

[baseline bum]

OKC has really found something with their switching. Spurs gotta figure this shit out.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs, hit your fucking shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please stop giving it to Green for 3s and GET TO THE RACK.

[Rummpd]

We need a basket....

[ALVAREZ6]

All those missed freethrows are looming large right now. We'd still have a safe lead if not for those 11 missed freethrows. Hack-a-Splitter really killed us.

Yup. Pop is too damn stubborn, should have subbed him for someone who isn't a full retard from the line. They hacked him at least 5 times in a row.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Heart Attack mode in full effect

[urunobili]

Manu key double

[Libri]

Manu with a much needed shot.

[100%duncan]

Manu thank God. Big shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

fucking crap call

[loveforthegame]

Sloppy.

Many. Terrible shot but he makes it.

[ffadicted]

Anything is a fucking foul, this is hard hard hard to watch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Tim, go AT Ibaka, go middle!

[Russo21]

man what happened
? i got a phone call, come back and the leads down to 8? what did we start doing wrong?

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck okc might win this game because of free throws

[baseline bum]

Damn, this team is deadly in the penalty.

[Rummpd]

OKC going to get a lot of FTs - Spurs need to get hot quick.

[Crookshanks]

Let's hope that's the extent of the Thunder run. Spurs need to focus and play smart.

[Kidd K]

lmfao, ANOTHER bullshit foul. . .Westbrook jumped sideways into him

[100%duncan]

Penalty is killing us. Damn it. C'mon Spurs!

[bklynspursfan]

Didn't see a foul there but whatever

[Texas_Ranger]

FT party

[noles1983]

these fucks dont miss as the ft line

[Uriel]

The number of fouls these guys draw is amazing.

[ffadicted]

10 freebies in the 4th already, 32 overall.... fuck

[Crookshanks]

Geez - 10 FTA for the Thunder in this quarter alone. Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baseline bum]

Spurs got bailed out by Harden's foul there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP breathed on Westbrook? :pctoss

[DMC]

Tim has bobbled almost every pass.

[Quiet Strength]

They are all bitches. They always want to get to the line but they bitch so much when they foul.

[007nites]

Damn when are they going to be in the penalty

[ginobili fan]

Manuuu !!!!

[noles1983]

how can spurs look this bad? mind boggling

[MannyIsGod]

These fouls are ridiculous.

[Uriel]

Again...:(

[BRHornet45]

ATTENTION ALL SPUR FAN

I don't want to hear no bitching from any of you because the freebie count is currently OKC 30 Spur 28

Spurs are shitting the bed right now and only have themselves to blame for turning the ball over 12 times thus far.

with that said ... Go Spurs Go!!! finish this shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

refs killing us. KILLING

[baseline bum]

What a fucking joke.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Are you fucking kidding me

[Rummpd]

BS calls.

[Spurologist]

FT parade

fuck me

[TheProfessor]

Wow. Total BS.

[ballhog]

OKC parade to FT line. Bullshit

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Can't even touch them right now. Good lord.

[100%duncan]

Everything is a fucking foul!!!!!!!!!! FUCK

[sexinthatsx]

these refs are horrible man

[ffadicted]

What the fuck is thaaaaaat..... that is fucking rediculous omg what BS calls

[Quiet Strength]

Its obvious the refs are giving them the game. Bullshit

[Manu-20]

Wow what bs the refs getting the thunder back in the game.

[Crookshanks]

Oh come on! This is getting beyond ridiculous with all these foul calls against the Spurs.

[Spurologist]

let players decide the game

[timvp]

Please, please, please hang on. Need some hoops. No fouls.

Believe.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Note to Spurs: DO NOT put OKC in penalty. Best FT shooting team in NBA!

[bklynspursfan]

Bullshit

[naico]

2 ghost fouls in a row on TP. I'm getting seriously worried.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

What a bullshit bailout call.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

wtf man...shit

[joeSpurs]

Nail biter ... Nail biter ... The team has lost its way. Where are the leaders?

[siraulo23]

FUck this BS seriously

[HI-FI]

Stern must be fapping to this shit, his goons doing their job.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

this is some serious bullshit

[spurspokesman]

At least one game in this series we're going to lose because of FTs late.

Hopefully not this one.

[jiggy_55]

Just gotta make a few shots to finish this one off! Stop fouling!

[boutons_deux]

OKC 15 - 7 in 4th qtr

[weebo]

the fix is on

[easjer]

I hate to complain about officiating b/c you always sound like a whiny homer, but what the everloving fuck?!?!

[noles1983]

faggot westbrick slips and its a foul? fuck you refs

[loveforthegame]

These fts are out of hand. Imagine what it will be like in OKC.

Spurs with a big fail on offense right now.

[ALVAREZ6]

Stern ordered an OKC win. Refs are handing it over.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

These are NOT bs calls

This is the spurs not responding to a run

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu has to attack all the time. These fuckers will have to call some fouls for us

[urunobili]

come on Spurs, grind this one out :fight

[angelbelow]

which means we didn't lose any lead the first time he came on the floor...

We were up 22 points the first time he came in. It was cut down to 14 and thats around the time the hack a Splitter happened. We ended up leading by 16 after that whole hack a splitter situation.

[DBMethos]

Hack a Splitter was fucking brilliant. The offense has looked like shit since.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't usually complain about reffing, but this is BULLSHIT. Two phantom calls on TP in a row. Refs trying to give it to OKC.

[100%duncan]

attention all spur fan

i don't want to hear no bitching from any of you because the freebie count is currently okc 30 spur 28

spurs are shitting the bed right now and only have themselves to blame for turning the ball over 12 times thus far.

With that said ... Go spurs go!!! Finish this shit!

at least 10 of spurs' FTs were intentional hack-a-splitter, nice try mate

[slick'81]

okcs lineup is locking the spurs up

Half of them were from hack a splitter.

[Beaverfuzz]

Still have to score on offense. Quit being a bunch of babies

[Manu-20]

If there was ever for a time for manu to get going it would be now.

[icango]

what an ugly turn around.

[ffadicted]

It's hard to win a game with this many freebies... also their big 3 all in double digits, hard to picture them losing after that... I wonder what the last time/how often the spurs lose when our big 3 all score 20+

[siraulo23]

But yeah, Thunder really playing great defense right now

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs need to start looking to get to the hole off of the screens. The Thunder are now switching so take your mismatch and go. Running multiple screens off a team that is switching isn't going to do anything but get you low in the clock if you don't penetrate at some point.

Neal should probably be in for his shooting as well. Especially since Fisher is out there.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

These are NOT bs calls

This is the spurs not responding to a run

[BRHornet45]

sons STOP complaining and have FAITH! Spur are good team.

quit all that whining like a bitch

[polandprzem]

someone needs to get going on ofense

Thunder is giving troubles on D

[Spurtacus]

This is ridiculous

[baseline bum]

Fuck the five fouls, this team needs Diaw back in there ASAP. They can't afford to play around with OKC about to trim the lead to 6.

[Uriel]

This would be a devastating loss. #elephantintheroom :elephant

[Spurologist]

@JMcDonald_SAEN
For those counting, Spurs have exactly three FGs since before Hack-A-Splitter in the 3Q.

It's all between the ears. Manu pick and roll. End this shit

[100%duncan]

Time for hack a Ibaka or hack a perkins imo

[DMC]

3 things:

1. Spurs are tired. The ball movement has slowed because Tony is exhausted.

2. Matt Bonner

3. Thunder are a great team.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on Spurs.... we need a bucket!!!!

[Spurminator]

These have been some bullshit calls but we have three FGs since Hack-a-Splitter. We need to get the offense back.

[Spurs Brazil]

Put Neal in place of Green

Stfu. 12 of those 28 were intentional fouls by OKC hoping Splitter and Duncan would brick. Personal takes don't count since they wanted them to shoot. Use your head.

it's really 34-16 when you take out the personal takes. Not fucking close at all.

[ginobili fan]

spurs getting screwd again by the refs....damn...fuck you

[RashoFan]

Please, please, please hang on. Need some hoops. No fouls.

Believe.
I'm with you... :tu

[Quiet Strength]

Manu has to attack all the time. These fuckers will have to call some fouls for us

Yup. The spurs have to attack and they will get the calls too.

[Admidave50]

Pop needs to do adjustment, Hack Ibaka may be considered as all the others are shooting so well and it's FT festival handed out by the refs!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hack-a-Splitter completely destroyed our rhythm, it was Pop-level coaching.

And then for Spurs to commit 4 quick fouls in 4th was just downright stupid. You CANNOT put these guys at the line, best FT shooters in NBA.

Fuck.

[MannyIsGod]

That was better. Just go to the hole strong.

[maverick1948]

This Bull shit happened to Boston last night. Couldn't breathe on a Heat player without a call. And get mugged and get no call.

[007nites]

Now we will get FT's the rest of the way

[Tp9gospursgo]

That hack a splitter ruined our rhythm.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

First team to 100, right?

[RashoFan]

Thank you Tim!!!

[loveforthegame]

Fts will be precious this quarter.

good job Tim.

[007nites]

Green with 3 misses in the 4th

[Rummpd]

Leonard great play lets go

[Spurminator]

Damn, Danny. Might be time to put Jack in for Green.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tediousj]

sons STOP complaining and have FAITH! Spur are good team.

quit all that whining like a bitch

welcome to the Game Blog. It's like Sybil.

[RashoFan]

I see a spark there...

[Rummpd]

30 points by Parker.

[Uriel]

There we go. Breathing room. *sigh*

[MannyIsGod]

Everyone who is giving credit to Hack a Splitter is lazy and superficial. Hack a Splitter didn't start to defend the PnR better with switches. We increased our lead with Hack a Splitter.

[100%duncan]

All right. Let's finish those motherfuckers now.

[Kidd K]

Spurs need to hold the ball for as long as possible to take away the whistle as much as possible.

[noles1983]

lol stupid ass ibaka gets more goaltendings...

[loveforthegame]

Finally they call goaltend.

[slick'81]

kiss that ball faggot

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damn...

[MannyIsGod]

SO GLAD Manu didn't settle for that 3.

[Spurs Brazil]

Put Neal

[Tp9gospursgo]

Greens shot always looks good. Just cant get it in...

[Crookshanks]

Not the time for Westbrook to get going. Come on Spurs!

[Quiet Strength]

Good! Call fouls on them too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can we sit Green for Diaw now?

[slick'81]

get green outta there

[Uriel]

Green's been off this whole series.

[Spurologist]

C'mon Green. Fuck....we need those

[DatBoyGood]

up by 22. down to 7. smh

[Rummpd]

Tim should have put that up but Manu did the right thing

[jiggy_55]

Come on Danny green! Fuck!

[RashoFan]

Manu fouled.

[100%duncan]

Put Jax for either Green or Kawhi. I choose Sjax for Green. We need a new look for KD.

[loveforthegame]

Green cant buy one but glad he's taking the open shot.

[Uriel]

Everyone who is giving credit to Hack a Splitter is lazy and superficial. Hack a Splitter didn't start to defend the PnR better with switches. We increased our lead with Hack a Splitter.

It completely disrupted our offensive rhythm.

[Kidd K]

Finally we get a fuckin call.

[Drz]

3 things:

...
2. Matt Bonner
:lol Yeah, they've looked so much better since he was taken out.

[RashoFan]

Gino with both FT

[BRHornet45]

Spurs getting all kinds of help now from the refs living at the freebie line.

[urunobili]

TP clutch!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Parker!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uriel]

There we go!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Green has missed 4 or 5 wide open 3s in 4th - can we PLEASE stop making that our option???

[Spurminator]

Beast Mode regained?

[Spurologist]

Tony motherfucking parker will not be denied

[noles1983]

Durant : 29 points
Westbrick: 25 points
Harden : 26 points

And they STILL trail by 11. They are screwed cant even win with their big 3 all 25+

[100%duncan]

Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Thank you!

[RashoFan]

Tony!!!!

[Rummpd]

Big miss by Westbrooke and great shot by Parker

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yes Parker

[loveforthegame]

Parker. :tu

[ballhog]

11 pt lead again. yes

[Sa_Spursfan20]

There we go. Now put this shit out of reach!

[sexinthatsx]

Tony parker!!!

[BRHornet45]

damn Tony P got a big ole weiner

[MannyIsGod]

Finally the Spurs stopped playing tenative and they've built the lead back up. They just got carried away with the resets for a stretch there and they missed some open 3s but if you just go at them HARD you'll be fine.

[maverick1948]

We need to score 115 to win this.

[baseline bum]

Big motherfucking shot, Tony!

[Crookshanks]

There we go - Spurs getting back in rhythm now.

[spursfan1000]

Don't choke spurs please!

[siraulo23]

TP close it out mvp

close it out

[Uriel]

TP clutch!

Haven't seen that word in a long time. Is that how many blowouts we've had this win streak? :lol

[jimbo]

Hack a Splitter didn't cause everyone on the Spurs to miss wide open shots. People are still getting open, the shots just aren't being made.

[siraulo23]

TP close it out mvp

close it out

[Capt Bringdown]

Big, big basket by Parker

[Nathan Explosion]

The refs trying to keep OKC in this game with ticky tack fouls, but the Spurs keep answering. Just 3 more minutes.

[100%duncan]

Let's finish this! 3 and half more minutes of good basketball!

[ffadicted]

Tony Paaaaarrrkuuuuuuurrrr

[naico]

TD hit the floor at least 10 times today. Feel bad for the heart patients in here.

[Drz]

Everyone who is giving credit to Hack a Splitter is lazy and superficial. Hack a Splitter didn't start to defend the PnR better with switches. We increased our lead with Hack a Splitter.
This.

These are professional basketball players. Anyone who thinks they got even remotely disoriented by the change of pace is fooling themselves. The shoddy play is because poor execution, not because they stood at the free throw line for awhile.

[tlongII]

Spurs getting all kinds of help now from the refs living at the freebie line.

Yep. Ginobili gets so many BS calls it's ridiculous. :lol

[jiggy_55]

It completely disrupted our offensive rhythm.

No we just missed open shots, Danny green with those three 3s they shoulda all went down and this would be a much bigger lead.

[Nathan89]

I thought the offense started to hesitate slightly before the hack-splitter.

[Danny.Zhu]

Tony+crew vs OKC big 3

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs will always be in trouble when they put them in the penalty so early. This is killing us in the 4th, not the hack-a-Tiago

[TheProfessor]

Prometheus and Coors Light, the perfect cross-promotion.

[DontStopBelieving]

Spurs should be able to get out with a win, but if this is the way the games are going to be called in OKC (highly likely), this is probably going 7.

[ginobili fan]

Big Big Big Tony !!!!

[MannyIsGod]

It completely disrupted our offensive rhythm.

This is wrong. OKC tossing out a new defense out there threw the Spurs off. They BUILT THE LEAD during the HAS. This OKC run didn't start until the fourth. You can't just credit everything to HAS.

[SuperManu!!!]

Durant : 29 points
Westbrick: 25 points
Harden : 26 points

And they STILL trail by 11. They are screwed cant even win with their big 3 all 25+

DOn't forget duncan is 2-11 :p:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Finally responded to the run. If Green had hit any of those wide open platters we would've broken it some time ago.

Diaw back in is very good - called it a minute before it happened.

Now, if only we could fuse Neal's shot-making with Green's D and boardwork, we'd be totally unstoppable! :lol

[BRHornet45]

Tony P got that fire! Tony P got that fire! Erin B holla at that boy if you want his oscar meyer!!! ..... (again)

[mVp]

Hopefully Westbrick keeps shooting, he's our MVP :lol

[DMC]

Prometheus and Coors Light, the perfect cross-promotion.

Same thought. We go to a remote planet and find a Coors Light beer can.

[bklynspursfan]

There we go. Now that the bogus calls have stopped, time to push this lead back up again

[slick'81]

still that took alot outta okc to mount that comeback

[Richie]

Green has just missed open shots

[joeSpurs]

Can the NBA make James Harden look illegal? I mean ... look at that face.

[100%duncan]

Bad D damnit.

[easjer]

Looked much, much better that stretch. Let's close this out STRONG now, Spurs.

[noles1983]

Spurs should be able to get out with a win, but if this is the way the games are going to be called in OKC (highly likely), this is probably going 7.

not a chance, if we go up 2-0 this shit ends in 5. Their big 3 have 25+ points each and they are still trailing double digits.

[RashoFan]

:makemyday:
Let's keep it going SPURS!!!!
