Guys on First Take are saying the Spurs wouldn't mind losing tonight, and they should lose a game soon before too much pressure builds up and they get nervous.

........Fuck that, we're winning tonight.

........Fuck that, we're winning tonight.

Fuck that shit! Sweep everything in your path! No remorse!

[Obstructed_View]

Let's get this. Set solid picks from the beginning, and the threes start falling. Go into game three with all the pressure on the Thunder. Jack and Kawhi will have to use up most of their fouls tonight. Won't matter.

[ViceCity86]

Timvp is saying it's Tony Parker's turn tonight.
He was right about Ginobili in game 1.

[spursince#99]

fuck that shit! Sweep everything in your path! No remorse!


+1 no mercy

[DBMethos]

Let the bloodbath continue.

[ViceCity86]

Green and Leonard time....Youngsters step up

[NASpurs]

James Harden: "We have to come in with that mindset that we have to win this game no matter what. It's like a Game 7 for us."

[z0sa]

Get the 2-0 lead tonight and put this Thunder team on their heels.

[Budkin]

Spurs win tonight and it's pretty much over.

[EVAY]

Guys on First Take are saying the Spurs wouldn't mind losing tonight, and they should lose a game soon before too much pressure builds up and they get nervous.

........Fuck that, we're winning tonight.

They would mind even less losing on Thursday night.

[Fireball]

Lets get 20 straight wins and a commanding lead over OKC ... 2-0 will mean even more pressure a jump shooting team like them can't afford ...

[loveforthegame]

Must protect home court. No excuses.

Keep attacking and hope the 3 ball is falling this time.
Team effort on the boards.
Better execution.
Spurs have to match the Thunder's intensity from the start.

[VBM]

Where's det Spurs cheerleader?

[timvp]

Where's det Spurs cheerleader?
Edited :toast

[Budkin]

No doubt the Spurs will have a way better start than they did Sunday.

[NRHector]

fuck that shit Spurs are taking no prisoners :flag:

[mVp]

Let's keep the streak alive :downspin:

Sweep OKC!

[spurspokesman]

........Fuck that, we're winning tonight.
Losing is fine as long as its in gms 3,4, and 6. But ill take it anyway the spurs can get it:lol. J/k i want it in 5:wow

[timvp]

Personally I wouldn't be upset if the Spurs snapped their winning streak in Game 5 against the Heat.

[JR3]

I automatically put the spurs down for a W on one of the first two road games... So a win tonight will make it at least 3-1. Done.

[spurspokesman]

Personally I wouldn't be upset if the Spurs snapped their winning streak in Game 5 against the Heat.
:toast. That would be the most memorable way to snap a winning streak.

[BlackSilver]

Here's to Manu going into God Mode again. And to Tony not being overanxious and trying to score 42 in the first quarter. And here's to this series making Harden shave off that beard.

[Dex]

Shit's getting real. Spurs need to buckle down and make this happen.

I've been pretty laid back through the playoffs so far. After the past few years, maybe I've learned to temper expectations. But now I'm starting to get antsy....butterflies before games, watching the clock for game time, getting tense during the action, damning every turnover or missed rotation or bad call.....

I love playoff basketball. :flag:

Put the pressure on. Show 'em what we're made of. Get nasty!

Believe.

[emanueldavidginobili]

God damn tip off is at 9 est, im going to be bored waiting for this game, to excited

[Manu-20]

I think Danny green is going to have a much better game today and our 3's will fall also, if all that happens spurs win being in control for most of the game.

[BRHorent45]

Sons I really think its the thunder gonna still this one. Hell that balding cuckhold ginobli aint gonna get no 26 pts this time. Watch it sons! Respect.
Word to ya mother!

[Richard Cranium]

It is time to make a statement to OKC.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs win tonight and it's pretty much over.

Similar to what the Mavs said in 2006.

[Obstructed_View]

Sons I really think its the thunder gonna still this one. Hell that balding cuckhold ginobli aint gonna get no 26 pts this time. Watch it sons! Respect.
Word to ya mother!

?



EDIT: DAMN, ya got me. :lol

[Rick Von Braun]

Sons I really think its the thunder gonna still this one. Hell that balding cuckhold ginobli aint gonna get no 26 pts this time. Watch it sons! Respect.

Thank you son and God bless you!

[z0sa]

I love playoff basketball. :flag:

:toast So true. There's a (very) small part of me that doesn't want the Spurs to win quick quite simply because I can't take all that waiting between rounds again. :lol

[xellos88330]

GO SPURS GO!!! Omw to arena!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lets get it spurs!!!

fuk the thunder

[crc21209]

Lets do this again. :flag:

[DatBoyGood]

Hopefully the spurs play 4 quarters of spurs basketball instead of one :flag:

[CGD]

Gotta get this one. Game one will mean little without this win. I expect this may be the Thurder's best punch tonite.

[TDomination]

I'm expecting this to be an even tougher game than game 1. If spurs play like they did, they will lose.

But I expect them to come out playing like they have been during the streak and will win another close game.

[timtonymanu]

Win this shit. Put more pressure on the Thunder.

Go Spurs Go!!!!!!!!!

[ViceCity86]

2 hours to go
GO SPURS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[Arcadian]

:toast So true. There's a (very) small part of me that doesn't want the Spurs to win quick quite simply because I can't take all that waiting between rounds again. :lol

If anything, the Heat-Celtics series will wrap up WAY before the Spurs-Thunder. So this time, the tables will be turned, and we will have a quick turnaround, with Miami waiting.

[loveforthegame]

Looking for certain guys to bounce back.

Wondering what new wrinkles Pop may have added.

Hope guys continue to attack no matter who is protecting the basket for OKC.

[maverick1948]

Personally I wouldn't be upset if the Spurs snapped their winning streak in Game 5 against the Heat.


I'll go along with this.

:lmao

[timvp]

Reminder: Last year in the WCF, the Thunder lost on the road in Game 1 but bounced back with a Game 2 victory over the fluke eventual champion Mavericks. They're going to be ready and the Spurs have to play like they realize Game 1 could have gone either way early in the fourth.

Don't never give these Thunder no hope.

Believe.

[AnthonyM]

It's crazy how fast "I want some nasty!" caught on. Not sure why I'm sort of surprised.

[DarkGinobili]

Go Spurs

[TDMVPDPOY]

daniele green needs to play big role tonight, same with kawhi

diaw needs to make the bigs chase him as he spreads and self creates for others....

[Jimcs50]

Charles just said, "We can make a gold mine for Weight Watchers in San Antonio." :lol

[Manu20]

The Thunder will try to censored The Nasty!! lol that was a great introduction by TNT!

You mean hope?

[TwelveGs210]

Lmfao at Shaq.. I was gonna fuckin say..nothing like an ice cold glass of elephant piss and shit runoff on a hot summer day..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Let's get this!!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

triple negative

[jestersmash]

You mean hope?

Don't never cancel each other out, leaving "Give thunder no hope." It's correct as written.

[RashoFan]

Personally I wouldn't be upset if the Spurs snapped their winning streak in Game 5 against the Heat.

:lol :tu
:flag:

[Whisky Dog]

Just cut it loose and let the machine roll over whoever gets in it's way. There's no room for unconfidence when you're flat out nasty.

[100%duncan]

You mean hope?

He was nigga-talking,tbh.

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN Brooks also said he's considered Hack-A-Splitter, but Tiago's stints often come early in quarters and preclude that.

[thunderfan]

You guys need your asses kicked at least twice in this series - you need a little excitement and suspense in your lives!

[100%duncan]

You guys need your asses kicked at least twice in this series - you need a little excitement and suspense in your lives!

Nah. We can live with 4 exciting games all in all in this series.

[siraulo23]

almost here

game 2 baby !@!@!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Don't never give these Thunder no hope.

Believe.

Crofl, damn Kenyon

[Ginofan]

Anyone else like the fact that we don't do blackouts/whiteouts every playoff game? Looks like we've been here before.

It's like we are the godfathers and we ain't no noobs. But blackout seems cool imo.

Agreed

I never even seen Tim's kids until these last two games. Apparently they love Manu too.

[DatBoyGood]

Wtf Blair has a Mohawk lol

:lol I noticed that too

[Manu-20]

No but I think they are doing spurs live after every game.

[Ginofan]

Duncan and his family :king

And Uncle Manu! awww :lol

[shyne]

Blair wanting to look fly on the bench.

[shyne]

Everybody loves Manu

[bklynspursfan]

Tim's son doesn't let him give him a kiss but runs and gives Manu a hug... Awesome LOL

[benstanfield]

No but I think they are doing spurs live after every game.

Damn. Sure would be nice to hear commentary by the ultimate Spurs homers when we're doing this well.

[Kool Bob Love]

:flag:

[benefactor]

Get it done.

Win.

[benefactor]

Oh...and I promise no drunk posts tonight.

Wasn't my finest moment tbh.

[davidbowie]

Tim's son doesn't let him give him a kiss but runs and gives Manu a hug... Awesome LOL

lol i think cause he is sweaty, pretty funny tho

probably thinks dad's fundamental play is boring :lol

[RashoFan]

Replay of pops speech with Janet Jackson Nasty Boys cued up in the back ground..

[100%duncan]

Aight. Ya'll ready for this?

[JRHernandez88]

Game 2. Let's do this.

[timtonymanu]

Didn't mind it, tbh.

Our team is killing it right now.

[100%duncan]

F that...go get you a drink!!
:toast

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Let's go Spurs!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Look for a big game for Duncan if they play Ibaka instead of Perkins in small-ball. Tim will post Ibaka and take him into the torture chamber.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Perkins

[bklynspursfan]

Perkins is soft

[Spurs Brazil]

not a good start for TD

[DatBoyGood]

Anyone catch perkins and parker?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Move the ball

[davidbowie]

Blair wanting to look fly on the bench.

hehe:lol:lol

[100%duncan]

Why was Timmy shooting a fade away jump hook near the free throw line?

[RashoFan]

Perkins already talking shit on the floor...Tony had that whatever punk look on his face...

[JP le Requin]

hi, have u got an internet link please?

[davidbowie]

Perkins already talking shit on the floor...Tony had that whatever punk look on his face...

i saw that def need a gif of that

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Parker 222222222222222

[100%duncan]

Tp!

[RashoFan]

Tony with 2

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim's got to take it at Ibaka, not Perkins. Perkins is an excellent post defender. Need to drive at Perkins if anything, or shoot over him from the face-up.

[TwelveGs210]

Anyone catch perkins and parker?

Lmao yeah..looked like a "watch the fuck out" from Perkins..Parker laughed at his sorry ass

[loveforthegame]

Duncan looks old out there.

Not a good start.

[davidbowie]

hi, have u got an internet link please?

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/sport/basketball.html

[bklynspursfan]

Green thinks he Neal??

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Green

[100%duncan]

Danny!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green 222222222222222. :tu

[Brazil]

Green aggressive early good sign

[RashoFan]

Green dropped a duece

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs look rusty... uh-oh.

[angelbelow]

That's what I love about Green. No loss of confidence, no hesitation on his shot.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice, keep attacking guys!

[Libri]

Perkins already talking shit on the floor...Tony had that whatever punk look on his face...

Well, Perkins' face looks like he's smelling shit. lol

[davidbowie]

Spurs look rusty... uh-oh.

it's 6 - 0 :lol

[RashoFan]

Diaw with 2 and we got a quick 6 pts on the board

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Green hit a shot. He's moving around. Like that.

Nice clean up by Diaw.

[Libri]

dammit

[100%duncan]

That motherfucker Perkins traveled again,

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony again!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

goaltend bitch

[urunobili]

Goaltend from Ibaka and barked by Westbrook and Durant simultaneously

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D until the foul.

Can't let Westbrook get to his spots.

[007nites]

ON Perkins this time!

[urunobili]

Kawhi on Perkins!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi DUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeonard!

[TwelveGs210]

Maaaaayne Kawhi!!!

[Brazil]

[spurspokesman]

Dejavu leonard

[mVp]

Kawhi!!!!!!!!! Nice start

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

it's 6 - 0 :lol

Must be a delay. I said it when it was 0-0 TO city. Not looking rusty any more! :lol

[100%duncan]

:lol if that won't make sportscenter

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony with a GREAT start. Attack, attack and attack

[JRHernandez88]

Lol Diaw with the stare down.

[Fireball]

Holy shit ... what a start ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Leonard doing a superb job of sticking to Durant like glue.

[$pursDynasty]

this aint game one Thunder, we have come to play tonight

[Bill_Brasky]

Leonard has now posterized BOTH of their bigs this season! Eat shit Perkins.

[siraulo23]

why?????????

[TwelveGs210]

Fuck that faggot ass wannabe thug..Piss em off some more

[davidbowie]

game over. we won. congrats everyone! we did it! GSG!!!!!

[Uriel]

Tony with the pass off a shot for a Kahwi dunk!

Just like I always do in 2K. :lol

[timvp]

Parker is dominating the game by pushing the pace. When he's that active, Spurs become unguardable, tbh.

Kawhi apparently doesn't appreciate the Thunder bigmen. :smokin

[Brazil]

great pass from TP to Leonard and the nasty dunk

[shyne]

Good right over that faggot ass fugazy Perkins

[Holt's Cat]

That dunk made my paws sticky.

[Uriel]

Tony with the pass off a shot for a Kahwi dunk!

Just like I always do in 2K. :lol

[hooperflash]

Kawhi Dunk for My New Signature AFTER the Playoffs!

[100%duncan]

LakerHater! I'm calling you out home boy, GIF that motherfucker!

[Warlord23]

They're making it a point to push as soon as they get the rebound to keep the Thunder defense from setting up

[loveforthegame]

I like that the Spurs are in motion instead of just parking at certain spots.

Better ball movement so far.

[Spurologist]

absolutely beautiful D by Leonard on KD by denying him the ball

[BillMc]

So far this was worth staying up to 4 AM!

[Namundy]

Hahahahha Tim's face after Kawhi's dunk.

[Arcadian]

FUCK YEAH! Leonard just posterized Perkins.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Our secondary break has been superb all year.

[sexinthatsx]

wow... Leonard almost posterized Ibaka

[timvp]

Tony with a GREAT start. Attack, attack and attack

Best start since Game 3 against the Jazz, tbh.

[Ginofan]

Leonard doing a superb job of sticking to Durant like glue.

Agreed! Durant is eventually going to get his but Kawhi is making him work for it this time.

[Uriel]

Serious question: Is the AT&T Center the only arena in the NBA that doesn't hand out free T-shirts during playoff games?

[urunobili]

hard fouls from the Thunder in 3, 2, 1...

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Loved that dunk. Oh my goodness!

[$pursDynasty]

absolutely beautiful D by Leonard on KD by denying him the ball

Showing SJax and Pop, he can get Nasty TOO!

[Trainwreck2100]

they're trying to force the thunder to go small

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice sig, Brazil! :)

[RashoFan]

That dunk made my paws sticky.

:rollin

[Tp9gospursgo]

Duncan needs to stop trying to shoot over them .

[MannyIsGod]

Danny Green bitches!

[urunobili]

Green TBH

[Russo21]

Leonard D has been remarkable so far. I've hardly noticed Durant out there. Amazing kid,

[007nites]

Green!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 33333333333333333333333333333333333333

[DatBoyGood]

He's back!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green 33333333333333333333333333 :tu

[Brazil]

My favorite start is the early JS from Green hope it will let him goin'

[Floyd Pacquiao]

33333333333333333333

[Libri]

If Green gets going, watch out!

[loveforthegame]

Green making us forget game 1.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn Durant :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Green baby

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think we just saw NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER'S wife in the stands! :lmao

[urunobili]

TP with an elbow J

[007nites]

Westbrick

[Cherry]

WOW just WOW

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Danny's got his mojo back.

[Russo21]

I love Perkins trying to bully Parker. The look tony gave him in return was priceless.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why the hell is ILP skipping all the time??? Fucking annoying.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony another J!!!!!!!!

[urunobili]

TP J in red

[Bulwark]

Parker jumper is on

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs can go for the KO early - gotta take care of the ball though, arrrgghhh

[Tp9gospursgo]

Parker set to have a big game.

[loveforthegame]

Parker locked in.

[Libri]

TP getting anything he wants.

[Uriel]

Every time Green shoots from 3 in the corner, I feel like it's gonna go in.

Oh, and Tony's jumper is on tonight.

[007nites]

470 blocks timmy

[urunobili]

TP J caliente

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol Thunder.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tony is feeling it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RashoFan]

Tony!!!!!!!

[Rebounds]

fify
4CU7w2HhaAg

Thanks Spurologist!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker feeling it. Could be one of his unstoppable nights.

[Russo21]

MVParker

[Capt Bringdown]

A man called Tony f'n Parker

[Bulwark]

Parker is unstoppable if his J is that automatic

[Spurologist]

tony mother fucking parker has that J on point.....great sign

[timvp]

Alright, fun start. But can't get sloppy. Loooooooooooooooong way to go.

Keep attacking.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great start. Keep the pace and the intensity

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Parker is bring his A game so far. I like it.

[jiggy_55]

Parker killing it...

[Libri]

Westbrook probably wishing he still had Sessions or Kid in front.

[100%duncan]

Great great great start. Let's see if Manu continues doing his magic in this game.

[baseline bum]

Good start so far; love seeing Green hitting shots tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs not rusty any more. Running sets, getting to the spots they want, controlling the tempo, gang defending the paint. Excellent. :tu

[Bambililos]

TP is hot tonight !

[EVAY]

Durant is pushing off Leonard on almost every possession and no offense fouls being called.

[MannyIsGod]

Parker just flat out in god mode right now. Hope he keeps the Thunder on their heals. The D on Durant has been outstanding so far.

[Warlord23]

Thunder with 4 offensive boards so far. All other stats (FG%, turnovers etc) markedly better for the Spurs compared to game 1.

[RashoFan]

tony mother fucking parker has that J on point.....great sign

:tu

[urunobili]

Durant is pushing off Leonard on almost every possession and no offense fouls being called.

He's a superstar and Kawhi doesnt complain either...

[siraulo23]

Why the hell is ILP skipping all the time??? Fucking annoying.

f bs

it's 40sec - 1 min late too, i only check ST posts during TO because of it :lol

[Russo21]

Westbrook probably wishing he still had Sessions or Kid in front.
:lolnice

[Holt's Cat]

Durant is pushing off Leonard on almost every possession and no offense fouls being called.

Shoved him on that last possession.

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi doing a great job on Durant. Let's hope Durant will be tired in the 4th. He's working hard for open looks

[loveforthegame]

Love the aggressiveness. Hope the bench can match the starters.

[Fireball]

look out for Manu taking some ill-advised threes with the Spurs having the lead ...

[Nathan89]

I have a strong feeling the Spurs contacted the league about the Perkins screening.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Almost time for the MANU-SPLITTER PNR JAMBOREE! :lol
