Anyone else felt the same? The best play of the game after Duncan´s.

[OldSilentHill]

Time just stopped. I was OMG when TP went into the corner.

Parker just somehow knew, he just went into the corner, HE, Parker, not a 3 point shooter, but somehow he knew, he was confident :wow my favorite play of the game after Duncan´s Dunk.

PS: and the 20 point lead in there.

and the Thunder just standing and watching, not one attempted to block the shot

[Dr Cox]

that play was awesome : )

[Spurfect21]

Tony's spin move that made Perkins literally look like a statue should get some credit too!

[thunderfan]

Pretty much sums up a lot of what went on last night. Let's just look at the MF'ers (I call them MF-ers with affection) while they torch us. Get a camera, take a picture while you're at it.

[boutons_deux]

At that point, the Okies seemed resigned to getting stomped, but they kept fighting back.

[coyotes_geek]

Absolutely cold blooded. At that moment that play was the Spurs saying "we can get any shot we want any time we want" and the Thunder saying "yes, you can".

Gotta give the Thunder credit though, they shook it off and came back.

[NRHector]

let's not forget Timmy's dunk

[TwoHandJam]

Gotta give OKC credit. I didn't think they'd get back off the mat after that. Most teams would have crumbled. Like a punch-drunk prizefighter though, they weren't quite the same after we connected with that haymaker.

NBA put that play and some others in the top 5:

I just want a gif of Manu Ginobili's reaction when he hit that three. I thought he was about to turn into the hulk like in that guy's avatar.

There was only one game, and the Spurs never trailed. Of course all five were Spurs plays.

[Solid D]

I loved TP's spin move.

Key baskets in the game, though, were by Ginobili and TP with under 2 minutes to play. OKC had battled back from being down by 22 and Durant had just cut the lead to 7 points. Ginobili makes a long three from the left wing with 1:30 remaining. If he misses that shot it is likely an immediate rim run for 2 or more Thunder points. Then with 33 seconds remaining, Parker nailed a jumper that ended the Thunder's hopes of a successful comeback. I thought those were the 2 key plays for the Spurs.

[chunticakes]

everybody just stood there and watched parker eat his lunch and then drain that 3.

:lol

[Solid D]

Defensively, my favorite play was Timmy's block of Westbrook as the 1st half was ending. He managed to not get called for the foul when Russell created the contact, then contorted to block his shot.

[Keepin' it real]

Read the thread title, genius.

I know there was only one game but I'm sure Ok has some good plays

[Budkin]

I was in a bar in Austin watching the game and people went flippin nuts.

[ajballer4]

Pretty sure Tony stopped to crack a smile there

[OldSilentHill]

There was an specific dunk made by Durant that amazed me. On the 4Q I think.

I thought the play before was just as, maybe even more impressive. The Leonard trey that broght the Spurs to 75 points.

Spurs do a good job of getting a "team" tipped rebound and get it to Tony who takes it past halfcourt:
1. Parker with ball just past halfcourt lobs it to Duncan. The lob is pretty well defended and maybe a tad too long/Dunks can't *sky* anymore so Duncan extends and catches the ball and before he runs out of bounds...
2. Duncan does a nifty high jump off one leg and throws a baseball strike to Diaw about 12 feet diagonal from the hoop.
3. Diaw fakes a shot, drives it into the lane, does a quick stop and crossover. Ibanka does not bite, so Diaw fakes it again then turns around and threads a pass just beyond Spiderman Durants grasp (Spidey actually grazes the ball) and it arrives to Leonard just outside the arc.
4. Leonard immediately gives the ball to Parker who is between the top of the arc and halfcourt.
5. Tony does a few dribbles then goes past a double screen by Timmy and Diaw on Westbrook. Tony blows past Ibaka and then makes it look like he is going to shoot one of his extended layups. Durant is there for the swat, so Tony expertly lowers the ball a bit and shovels a sideways pass to
6. Leonard, who meanwhile has gone and positioned himself for the corner trey. He takes a breath, gathers the ball. The Spurs crowd is on its feet. Kawhi launches, swish.

If anyone can .gif this plllease do.

Westbrooks swat of Parker looked like all ball and no body foul. I had t.v. on mute so as not to have to endure Ragina Miller.

[ace3g]

Anyone have the stats for shooting percentage on 3s off Manu behind the back passes...I can't remember a time when someone missed. I told my bro right after the pass that the 3 was going in.

Do you have the video? Otherwise you have a remarcable memory :wow

Who can have such a stat? :lol

But i´ll admit its intriguing.

[Jimcs50]

My favorite play was Westbrook's air ball 3 point attempt.

:p:

[Jimcs50]

Actually my favorite play besides TD's dunk was Manu's 3 pointer that stopped Thunder's momentum with 2 minutes left. I've not seem Manu get that stoked in a long time.

:p:

[Fabbs]

dvr.

Again if anyone will .gif this :worthy:

[smaka]

I was like "hell yea baby" when TP made this 3pt shot!
Lol @ OKC for just standing and watching him.

[foodie2]

I loved Steve Kerr's comment: Parker had time to make a Tuna Melt. :lol

[SA210]

With the assist from Manu, that play was something to remember.


**Avery Johnson's voice** "TP was on Fire"

[GSH]

Manu's pass was so slick, the Thunder players didn't even know that Tony had the ball. They were still looking at Manu. By the time they figured it out, there was no point on closing with Tony. He would either make it or he wouldn't. It was good that Tony knocked it down. But he had time to drink a beer before he took the shot.

[therealtruth]

Should that still count as an assist after Parker took all that time?

[Venti Quattro]

Nobody even dared to come close to challenge.

[aal04]

The only thing missing from this play was slow mo, overlayed text, and shook ones background music.

[joeSpurs]

Parker took so much time, I thought the refs might call 3 seconds on 4 Spurs under the basket.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Parker lollygagged the hell outta that shot, and I loved the crowd's buildup from the "ooooooh" reacting to Manu's behind the back pass to the realization spreading through the building that "oh god he's really going to shoot a 3," then TP nailing it and the house coming down. Just greatness.

[Fpoonsie]

:p:

Does anybody have a YouTube clip of that from the actual game? My DVR cut out a few minutes before the end of regulation...(fuckin' Hack-a-Splitter).

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Parker could have stood there for 10 seconds. Maybe some Thunder players would have come to defend against him, maybe not. But it was one of the most magnificent wide-open shots I'd ever seen.
