Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Game 3

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol wtf

[lefty]

Tymmqaiu

[100%duncan]

Jsut fuck that Tim.

[wut]

Spurs rushing a shot due to shot clock reset

[100%duncan]

You dunk that and we are down by 9. Fuck the softness tbh.

[Mal]

and hardens 3 steps made highlight of the game

[Admidave50]

weak sauce timmy, come on

[100%duncan]

Momentum lost. Damn it Tim.

[spursparker9]

duncan should only ask for vet min in the off season

[Capt Bringdown]

Timmy's game is falling off as the playoffs wear on.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Man I love Duncan, but I don't think I've ever seen him play this soft. Something isn't right with him.

[MannyIsGod]

Offensive rebounds. SMH

[naico]

TP run your offense!

[Quiet Strength]

Damn second chance points. Pathetic spurs

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck this

[noles1983]

Lol scrub sefolosha

[$pursDynasty]

wake up Spurs blaock out

[100%duncan]

Timmy has been soft tonight. Too much Offensive boards and soft finishes.

[benstanfield]

Tim looks 40 years old out there. Does he even have a rebound?

[SpursFaninMS]

After that start, we haven't made a dent at all.

[icango]

no rebounds

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs might as well call it a night, they ain't winning this game.

Send in the clowns.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn damn damn

[Chachachango]

This shit is over.

[naico]

Kawhi only guy going for rebounds

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Not looking too good. Spurs still take game 4.

[Spurologist]

TD has been useless

[Horry For 3!]

This is pathetic..... no defense and settling for outside shots. Every shot has been from the outside.

[Uriel]

This winning streak is over.

[ffadicted]

I think that's game gentleman... we had a nice run, let's make it 3-1 soon

[spursfan1000]

About the time to raise the white flag, we don't want to use too much energy.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thunder playing with too much energy, and hustle

[Jumi]

Call it! Pop finally got his "good loss!"

[T Park]

The Thunder's adjustment on the pick and roll and Sefalosha's D on Parker is quite worrisome....

[maverick1948]

Where are all the BOnner haters now? He is on the bench and starters are looking like shit.

[MannyIsGod]

Either the Spurs get back in this game within the next 6 minutes or I promise you Pop will mail it in.

[naico]

That's game. Pathetic.

[SpursFaninMS]

That was an open shot by Kawhi, but he should know he isn't a put it on the deck three-point shooter.

Duncan looks so, so, so old tonight.

[CGD]

See you guys for Game 4.

[wut]

Spurs looking like Thunder was in San Antonio, working hard for every shot, while Thunder running all over Spurs.

[polandprzem]

I fucking woke up for this shit ....

:depressed

[rasho8]

Poor ball movement but we can get into it if we can get some rebounds and stop being stupid.

[100%duncan]

I'm fucking mad. If Tim just dunked that shit we were supposed to be down by 9 and probably a Brooks time-out. Instead we are fucking down by 17 points. Goddamn I hate these moments.

[TE]

This is pathetic.

[noles1983]

Fuck u gutless spurs

[smaka]

wtf is with Tim

[sa_butta]

I had a feeling Spurs would lose this game, not really surprised at the Thunder's energy. More surprised at the Spurs mistakes.

[Fireball]

TD is playing bad ... we could be down 9 ... he misses the layup and everything goes down the toilet afterwards

[naico]

Where are all the BOnner haters now? He is on the bench and starters are looking like shit.

lol

[senorglory]

Holy shit Duncan sucks so far tonite!

[polandprzem]

I give up


Spurs can't get a layup and then play horrible D

[EVAY]

Why aren't we doing something to get Tony freed up from Sefalosha?

He can't win the damn game by himself, and we need to do something to allow him to get the offensive motion in place.

Maybe by next game. Because I would have to assume that if we could do it by now we would have done it.

[Arcadian]

Really, you think it's over? Fuck that. This team can come back from any deficit.

[Warlord23]

Duncan needs to sit for the rest of the game. Not only is he doing nothing, Pop needs to rest him and recharge his batteries.

[MannyIsGod]

Where are all the BOnner haters now? He is on the bench and starters are looking like shit.

:lmao

How does that make Bonner better?!?!?!?

GNSF with the bads

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs have completely lost their ability to rebound



FATIGUE?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

fuk it regroup next game

[100%duncan]

We need to get back. We still have chance. Just fuck it.

[Chachachango]

Where are all the BOnner haters now? He is on the bench and starters are looking like shit.

He better stay there. He wont help anyways.

[Libri]

The Thunder's adjustment on the pick and roll and Sefalosha's D on Parker is quite worrisome....

evident by those tipped passes

[ElNono]

:lmao

How does that make Bonner better?!?!?!?

GNSF with the bads

:lol

[T Park]

Im gonna say this is a mail in game pretty soon.

The effort on the defensive boards is the worst I've seen it probably since that loss to the Lakers at home...

[boutons_deux]

OKC defense too tough.

Tony seems resigned rather than fired up.

Spurs getting killed on the boards, TOs, bad shooting.

[DPG21920]

Duncan has faltered in a big way so far. Okc said "Tim, you beat us" and he has not answered the call.

[Xyzo]

Well if Pop throws the towel early, we can see what an Anderson, Mills, Blair lineup can do

[Budkin]

Pop is going to be extremely happy after this.

[Horse]

Theres just no effort out there. I guess its human nature to eventually let down.

[Keepin' it real]

I must confess, I'm not wearing the same outfit I've worn for most of the Spur's playoff wins. My bad, fwiw.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck u gutless spurs

SMH

20 wins in a row, 10 in the playoffs, and there are still people like this.

[Brazil]

tp playing like shit tbh

[siraulo23]

Sefalosha on parker has worked wonders for the Thunder

[Richie]

Still plenty of time

[Russo21]

Let's go for Bonner and Blair. Yep i just said that.

[cheguevara]

no injuries, no injuries, no injuries

forget winning this game. no injuries...

[polandprzem]

tim

GRADE D=

Yup two minuses !

[turkish spurs fan]

more ginobili pop more ginobili

[LakerHater]

I expected a loss but not an ass beatin!

[sa_butta]

Damn, we win 20 games in a row, and we are going to lose one and the board is going to meltdown.

[Spurologist]

We still have a run in us. Need to find energy. Manu??

[Fireball]

I fucking woke up for this shit ....

:depressed

+1 ... and after the game it will be too early to go to bed again

[TE]

Despite the execution being quite disappointing, the worse part about this ordeal is the Spurs are just being outhustled and outplayed.

[boutons_deux]

Tim 4 of 13

[MannyIsGod]

Oh Perkin's wife is NASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTY UGLY. LOL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

[Johnny RIngo]

Where are all the BOnner haters now? He is on the bench and starters are looking like shit.

Thunder bench led the comeback when they were down six while the red-headed motherfucker was in the game. Bonner's shooting under 37% for the playoffs. Dude has been chocking hard. Regardless, this game isn't Bonner's fault. Everybody's playing like shit.

[Fireball]

Damn, we win 20 games in a row, and we are going to lose one and the board is going to meltdown.

no problem in losing ... but how the Spurs are playing OKC on the road does not make me confident this will not be a 7 game series

[Uriel]

Oh well, this is the best way to lose.

[100%duncan]

Damn, we win 20 games in a row, and we are going to lose one and the board is going to meltdown.
This. Too many bandwagoners.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Nice play Duncan.

[Crookshanks]

We all knew game 3 was going to be brutal, but I never thought the Spurs would play this crappy. Oh well, if they lose, then we can put all the talk of the winning streak behind us and just focus on winning 2 more and moving on.

[Richie]

Need to hit these open threes

[Budkin]

I predicted we'd be down 15 in the first half, but this is just sad.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Don't worry, if Spurs lose tonight, which it looks like they will, they'll wake up for game 4.

[MannyIsGod]

Why ix Jax passing up a wide open 3?

[ffadicted]

What the fuck jackson....

[100%duncan]

You gotta shot that Jax. Damn it.

[rasho8]

What the hell was tha sequence?

[Spurs Brazil]

how the fuck we're playing so stupid

[Spurtacus]

Jax not making love to pressure.

[Russo21]

Oh Perkin's wife is NASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTY UGLY. LOL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

I didn't see her. But she can't be worse then Lamar's Odom's Bulldog looking Kardashian wife? :lol

[Horry For 3!]

I don't understand why sjax threw that....

[baseline bum]

Fuck u gutless spurs

Really? :lmao

[wut]

Wow fuck us.... perfectly open shots and lanes and we throw it to two Spurs and STILL lose the ball.

[noles1983]

Lol spurs every time they have a chance to get back in game they fuck it up

[SpursFaninMS]

WTF Jax...that was a perfect set up for a shot...and a terrible pass to boot

[100%duncan]

Wasn't a clear path Idiots.

[MannyIsGod]

There's no way that can be clear path.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That last sequence did it

Spurs will lose tonight

[Mal]

clear path coming

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs playing like they did before the I want some Nasty Pop moment, hesitant, not wanting the shot over passing

[DontStopBelieving]

Fluke game is fluke.

Seriously, the only thing to take from this game is that Tim Duncan has reverted back to 2010-2011 Tim. Everything else is clearly just a lack of energy and will..

[naico]

lol really refs? really??

[Admidave50]

Come on Stephen, where is your NASTY?

Shoot or sit...

[baseline bum]

I didn't see her. But she can't be worse then Lamar's Odom's Bulldog looking Kardashian wife? :lol

She's way worse. Picture Khloe with lips x 5.

[Fireball]

Green would have been there ... no clear path please

[TE]

That lack of aggression or nasty displayed by Jackson sums up the effort in this game. Come on man, shoot the fucking ball.

[Crookshanks]

Damn, we win 20 games in a row, and we are going to lose one and the board is going to meltdown.

Oh yeah - if the Spurs lose tonight, there will be plenty of people who will say the Spurs suck and the series is lost. :bang

[Admidave50]

Come on Stephen, where is your NASTY?

Shoot or sit...

[benstanfield]

Welp, at least this helps us bargaining with Tim in the offseason. Diaw+Lorbek!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Bonner better start scoring and playing bowen like defense.

[100%duncan]

C'mon Spurs!

[Russo21]

red rocket will save the game

[smrattler]

At this point, I'd throw BlaIR out there just to try something that they didnt game plan for. He might give us a sparK enough to get some life before the 4th quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Green, make those

[Quiet Strength]

Whats with all the open 3's for okc?

[smaka]

D. Green choking

[MannyIsGod]

Green has really come up short in this series.

[Spurologist]

Green has lost the touch

[100%duncan]

Shots not falling. Green need to get his shit together.

[noles1983]

Green u worthless piece of shit

[Spurtacus]

Pop IS tanking this game. Bonner is clear proof of that.

[urunobili]

Unless they go cold and we put a 35 pts 4th quarter. The run is over.

[ffadicted]

Westbrook with 8, Harden with 11 and we're getting blown out... hard to believe

[TE]

And my main concern regarding our role players comes true. Fuck :depressed

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green playing like game 1

[maverick1948]

Wide open shots and NOBODY hitting the bottom

[naico]

TD giving up wide open lay ups now..

[SpursFaninMS]

Duncan passed on a wide open mid-ranger.

[wut]

OKC playing like crap, and somehow Spurs managing to play WORSE!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[Russo21]

She's way worse. Picture Khloe with lips x 5.

LMAO, damn:lol

[100%duncan]

Damn Jax's handles are too bad.

[Keepin' it real]

I repeat, Green wilting before our eyes. At least Neal can get us some offense.

[Admidave50]

Green can't hit since game 2, gotta get him out

[Bulwark]

Man we're old and slow tonight

[Kidd K]

How the fuck was that an over the back foul on Duncan? When on the very last play Perkins pushed Duncan in the back to try and get a rebound. gtfo refs.

[baseline bum]

Spurs need to be making a run here. OKC looks like shit and is missing easy shots.

[noles1983]

Grades should be easy tonight. F for all these fuckers

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Bad time for Danny to lose his ball sack

[polandprzem]

Anybody seen anything worse in the nightmares?

[MannyIsGod]

SMH Bonner. Shoot the fucking 3

[ffadicted]

17 - 45 lol

[therealtruth]

Why can't Green play defense like Sefalosha?

[DontStopBelieving]

One adjustment has to be made though..

The big rotation either has to be cut to 3, or Blair needs to take Bonner's minutes. Seriously, he is the most pathetic playoff performer I've ever seen.

[Admidave50]

WTF are the Spurs doing in this game... terrible offense

[benstanfield]

Duncan is useless right now.

[ThePop]

Grades should be easy tonight. F for all these fuckers

[Russo21]

damn timmy 5 for 15, go to the bench. you'r enot getting any lift from your legs

[Texas_Ranger]

too much Duncan

[100%duncan]

Damn I wish someone does a Kerr Game 6 Performance.

[polandprzem]

OVA


thanks for watching

[PingPong]

Mano and Tiago...

[Bulwark]

Bonner can't rebound over Thabo

[Jumi]

You gotta be kidding me!

[Mal]

oh, matty lost rebound to guard

[therealtruth]

What happened to our ball movement? Everybody wants to go off the dribble or 1 on 1.

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner rebounding like a boss.

The good news it that the big 3 will get plenty of rest in the 4th.

[Admidave50]

Shoot it pussy ginger bonner!

[TE]

Lol MVP sefalosha

[DPG21920]

Tim is awful tonight.

[smaka]

fuck u matt fucking bonner

[Richie]

Seriously Bonner? Offensive rebounds killing us, get Bonner out FFS

[100%duncan]

Fuck this tbh.

[DAF86]

Manu in with 8 minutes gone and 20 pts down. Fantastic Pop, just fantastic. At least you Got Bonner in there. :tu

[Fireball]

game over

[Floyd Pacquiao]

throw in the towel....live to fight another day

[Bulwark]

Bonner spreads his legs

[Spurs9]

Bonner hasn't done shit this entire game, put Blair in there

[DontStopBelieving]

And as I posted that, Bonner pussies out on another rebound from a guy half a foot shorter than him.. Seriously, its pathetic.

[smrattler]

Put PATTY in there, he wont be shy to shoot. Get us 9 points real quick.

[Admidave50]

Bonner passing a wide open 3, Sefolosha got the rebound from him, Ibaka scores on him

FUCKING useless, that's disgusting that this game is a millionaire just because he spreads the floor and can hit the 3 in the regular season!!!!!

[wut]

about the only positive thing I can imagine in this game is that we losing so bad Pop might put in Blair to find out he is actually useful.

[DPG21920]

Pop fuckd up by playing Matt that stretch in the first half & continues it.

[noles1983]

Fuck u spurs now not only do u shit the bed we have to listen to the media suck off the thunder for a few days

[Texas_Ranger]

pathetic...

[ffadicted]

Good lord this s poor play by us

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sigh

I knew weed get a lot of Jackson in second half but stack 5 hadn't d done shit after half time

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony 333333333

[Uriel]

Anderson again. Pop's given up.

[MannyIsGod]

If the Spurs have a run in them they need to use it now and get this under 10 before the fourth.

[100%duncan]

Manu in with 8 minutes gone and 20 pts down. Fantastic Pop, just fantastic. At least you Got Bonner in there. :tu

Brava.

[naico]

Cmon Pop! TP on Sefolosha for most of the game now?? Did Brooks scare you with the Sefolosha on TP move?? Pop coach of the year def, but this game has been awful coaching.

[Admidave50]

Can't really believe that each offensive possession is getting worse and worse...

[Spurs9]

PUT IN BLAIR, James anderson back in????

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop deserves the worst grade of any spur


Bonner? Really

[Knoxxx]

Bonner and Jackson both suck and need to sit. I just had to type that.

[Russo21]

omg anderson

[noles1983]

Sjax getting raped by the pressure

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I really wanna see Blair. Bonner just got outfought by Sefolosha for a rebound.

[Admidave50]

Manu & TP need to take over!!

[Quiet Strength]

Anderson again. Pop's given up.

Giving up would be keeping his starters in the game.

[Whisky Dog]

Westbrook fouled Parker on the arm on that shot. Ref right there but swallowing the whistle

[therealtruth]

James Anderson? Why not Kawhi? He's long enough to make a difference.

[benstanfield]

We lose game 4 and this series is over in 6...

[Spurtacus]

Pop should get a D from timvp.

Bonner subbing in against OKC starters midway through first and third quarters.

James Anderson getting playtime.

Lack of timeouts during Thunder runs.

[TE]

Our offensive ineptitude has made Sefalosha look like the second coming of Bruce Bowen.

[SpursFaninMS]

As others have said, it isn't that we are getting blown out tonight. I'm not surprised at all by that. The adjustment that they have made with Sefalosha on Parker and our inability to adapt has me concerned. If Sefalosha does take Parker away, how do we survive?

[Chachachango]

17 - 45 lol


hey whats up with your sig?

[noles1983]

That fag ibaka hitting fts lmfao

[timtonymanu]

Fuck u spurs now not only do u shit the bed we have to listen to the media suck off the thunder for a few days

Seriously it's fucks like you that make me hate reading game blogs up here.

[siraulo23]

Kawhi 14 mins???

[Bulwark]

way off

[Russo21]

did blair sleep with pop's mum or something

[Admidave50]

I really really don't get why JA can be on the floor...

[wut]

was talking to a Laker fan at work today, he said this series goes 7 games, not because Spurs aren't the better team, but because NBA would want to milk this series for ratings....looks like he was right.

[Knoxxx]

Mills and Blair, Mills and Blair!!!!! (James Anderson, really?!?)

Pop not having a stellar game right along with many of our players...

[100%duncan]

Man Jax has been awful this half.

[TMTTRIO]

You might as well sit Manu. I don't see why Pop brought him back later than usual and when we we're 20 points down.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs role players will need to hit open shots if they're going to win another game in this series. The Thunder are going to clog the lane like crazy the rest of the way.

[Bulwark]

damnit neal

[Spurs Brazil]

Why we keep leaving open guys in the corner???

[Jumi]

Why does Pop still have important guys in this game??

[Richie]

Seriously, if ginobili can't drive and kick against Perkins and ibaka on the pnr switch, we're in trouble

[spursparker9]

safolosa and durant is shutting down parker and the ball movement

[slick'81]

thunder figured out spurs

[Bulwark]

Why we keep leaving open guys in the corner???
Neal likes leaving Fisher

[Whisky Dog]

Just not our game today, terrible defense and stagnant offense. We've made it too easy for them to get assists, they're making the pass because we're not rotating on the weak side.

Got to get game 4. Get that one and we're golden.

[Obstructed_View]

Seriously, if ginobili can't drive and kick against Perkins and ibaka on the pnr switch, we're in trouble

Seriously, if the Spurs go to 4 down and drive and kick because they can't run a pick and roll, they're in trouble.

[MannyIsGod]

Pop pretty much threw this game with his coaching. Bonner has been incredibly bad and continues to get minutes.

[Quiet Strength]

It's not over until its over. Theres still a very small chance the spurs beast in the 4th and win but yeah it's been a great run. Cant win them all.

[DPG21920]

Scary that Pop has been ridic out coached today

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Pop should get a D from timvp.
he's been quiet. someone should go check on him.

[wut]

As others have said, it isn't that we are getting blown out tonight. I'm not surprised at all by that. The adjustment that they have made with Sefalosha on Parker and our inability to adapt has me concerned. If Sefalosha does take Parker away, how do we survive?
The thing about this that is even more of a concern is that EVERYONE knew what their adjustment was going to be, and Pop still had no answer.

[100%duncan]

I would have no problem with this line up right now:

Mills
Neal
Manu
Whi
Splitter

Just shoot the threes and run PnR's if it doesn't work then wave the white flag already.

[Juggity]

lmao what the fuck is happening? Haven't seen a game this bad since the spurs played the Celtics two months ago.

[noles1983]

We lose game 4 and this series is over in 6...

:rollin losing 4 in a row?

[Jumi]

Hey guys, remember the Big 3 logged alot of minutes in Game 2. Call this one and get ready for the next one! It was a damn good winning streak though!!!!

Go Spurs Go!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Does neal gamble Vegas money on Fisher total points?


Why the mother fuck does he keep leaving him open

[AidanNelson2009]

Rest the starters now, start looking ahead to game 4, this ones over.

[Beaverfuzz]

Get 'em Saturday. Now just maintain pace with the Thunder until the final buzzer.

[MannyIsGod]

Seriously, if the Spurs go to 4 down and drive and kick because they can't run a pick and roll, they're in trouble.

I got no problem with going to isoloations when Perkins is on Parker or Manu. Manu's just been terrible in those situations tonight.

[Supergirl]

Remember - the NBA loses money if a series doesn't go to at least five games. you think it's a coincidence these refs are letting OKC get away with anything and calling everything on the Spurs? You think they haven't been paid a little bonus or two to make sure it happens?

I turned off TNT. It was pissing me off too much. See ya in game 4, suckers. OKC will get a big ego from this win and think they are in the series, and then the Spurs will knock them back to earth again. Believe.

[Horse]

We just didnt showup tonight the thunder played well but make no mistake it all started with the refs in the 2nd quarter. Atleast davie will sleep well tonight.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

People on this thread do freak out way too much, but I believe the Bonner hatred is justified. On offense he ruins the rhythm, he can't make threes, and I hate to use this word, but he's a pussy. Earlier on a 50/50 ball, Sefolosha outfought him for it. Bonner just looks scared out there.

[Nathan89]

Funny thing is the Spurs fans declaring victory after two games will the first to start the "we suck" threads.

[ElNono]

Pop pretty much threw this game with his coaching. Bonner has been incredibly bad and continues to get minutes.

but he doesn't need to score to stretch the floor!!!!!!!! I saaaaaiiiiddddddd

[DBMethos]

Gawd awful.

[Shastafarian]

Leonard in the doghouse for playing well I see.

[Brazil]

ugly ugly ugly

[KDtrey5]

pop hasn't been outcoached... it's just okc... scott brooks is pure ass as a coach

[Spurologist]

Pop's subs really tell the story. A part of him really wanted to lose......tired of hearing about the streak or going undefeated. Comeback strong in game 4. Can't say this wasn't expected btw
