[Darius Bieber]

It's not over until the fat lady sings. And I haven't seen Durant's mom singing yet, so I think the Spurs can still come back.

The Spurs have played like absolute shit. Yet, they are still within reach. Take it a couple minutes at a time. A 5-0 run here and there.

[noles1983]

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.

This, pop full on bitch mode. He deserves to get the media questions for this monumental fuck up

[slick'81]

lol bonner

[Cant_Be_Faded]

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

Also having neal run point with manu on thecourt

Going 4 down for no reason

Pop deserves the worst grade of any spur tonight

[therealtruth]

Kawhi 14 mins???

I agree. Our better defenders need to play. I would put Kawhi on Westbrook to see if we can create some turnovers and stagnate their offense.

[Knoxxx]

I'm actually doing work on my laptop and half watching this game has been a real yawner.

Neal can't shoot an open 3 over the shorter Fisher? Sure we will take the 2, but our passing this game has just been STUPID.

[polandprzem]

ugly ugly ugly

Why RU so kind?

[mexicanjunior]

thunder figured out spurs

[senorglory]

Oh well. I feel better after reading everyone else's rage and anger.

And b/c I turned the tv off.

Would've been cool to sweep 3 rounds, but will still be cool to win the championship. Go spurs.

[wut]

Spurs need to wipe this game mentally and focus on getting the split to finish back in San Antonio.

[LakerHater]

Well nothin really happening, jus home courts holdin!!

[T Park]

this game is setting a very very scary precedence....

[Keepin' it real]

thunder figured out spurs

For tonight, yes. That's why it's a best of 7 series.

[Russo21]

maybe were throwing the game to get out of the winstreak. the media talk more about the streak then the real streak, which is 2-0 in the wcf

[$pursDynasty]

Tony never adjusted to the sefalusha switch, Bonner should get 0 time because if he isn't hitting 3's he serves no purpose and is a casulty on defense. where are all our points in the paint???

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax 3333333333

[therealtruth]

What happened to the pick and roll or ball movement?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop worse than F

Danny green and Bonner F-

Everyone else D

[100%duncan]

Put Mills for Anderson tbh.

[Manu20]

:yield

[Uriel]

:lol Here comes our miraculous run.

[Crookshanks]

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.

That makes as much sense as anything else at this point. I knew Stern would not want another sweep. This series is the one everybody is watching, no one cares about the Celtics and Heat right now. If this series is over too quickly, then there's nothing on tv and people lose interest before the finals start.

[Spurs9]

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.

Don't blame the refs for the Spurs being down. The refs have gotten the Spurs get away with some travels and fouls tbh. Spurs are just playing like shit right now, no other way to put it.

[100%duncan]

Ibaka becomes Dirk.

[noles1983]

U know it's over when ibaka hitting shots and ft's

[DPG21920]

Do the Spurs have the heart of the Thunder to come back after being punked?

[smaka]

Derek fucking Fisher acting like he did no foul, fuck his team, clown

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax 3333333333333

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good shots Captain Jack.

[100%duncan]

Go Jax!

[Juggity]

Jax!

[T Park]

What scary about Pop, he never goes away from Bonner 100% which is what he should do.

Not good at all this game.

[$pursDynasty]

uh oh, here we come???

[smaka]

SJax time, cmooon

[blkroadrunners]

Jackson's mad. I likey.

[Quiet Strength]

Thats what the spurs need right now. Balls

[Uriel]

Jax's 3rd 3. Here comes 03 Mavs all over again. :lol

[Spurs9]

Maybe trill stax can save us,

[MannyIsGod]

Com'on SJax. Make this Dallas 2003 all over again please. Kerr is in the building after all.

[smrattler]

OKC shooting falls all the way to 44% now and we caNT caPitaLIZE on it becuz we gave up on offense, nothing! No maKIng a LITTLE run?

[100%duncan]

Can't get defensive rebounds smh.

[pikkiwoki]

looks like i picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue

http://blogitlikeyoumeanit.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/airplane_steve_mccrosky.jpg

[siraulo23]

anderson continues to get mins

anything wrong with kawhi?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

DAMNET SPLITTER PISSING ME OFF!! GINOBILI ON THE GROUND FIGHTING FOR THE BALL AND HE'S JUST STANDING THERE! MY GOODNESS SPLITTER AND BONNER NEED TO STOP PLAYING SO WEAK! OK rant done.

[Libri]

Com'on SJax. Make this Dallas 2003 all over again please. Kerr is in the building after all.

:tu

[therealtruth]

Kawhi should be in for Anderson.

[100%duncan]

Goaltend?

[AidanNelson2009]

Have the Thunder worked us out? not concerned yet, but game 4 could be the same, and i don't like the idea of game 5 being locked 2-2 with Thunder having all the confidence.

[SpursFaninMS]

Yep...that would be a GT

[DAF86]

Clear goaltending.

[$pursDynasty]

goaltending

[smaka]

that should be a goaltending

[Spurologist]

The reason Bonner might be useless from this point forward is that OKC is flying to the shooters. Bonner hesitates and we'll all know how terrible he is off the dribble. Please pop...leave him out

[Spurtacus]

should have been a goal tend and an and 1

refs fucked that one up badly

could be a 13 point lead right now

[100%duncan]

Oh fuck. Here we go.

[Spurs Brazil]

how the fuck they miss that goaltend

[Budkin]

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

Oh give me a fucking break.

[wut]

refs now calling fouls when the game is over.

[Russo21]

manu got foules twice ang got goaltended., no call

[Uriel]

Please please please Tiago.

[PingPong]

Fu Fisher

[100%duncan]

Ugly shit.

[Kidd K]

lmfao. . .they foul manu on the drive AND ibaka clearly goaltends. . .no call on either violation.

I guess since the refs didn't need to give OKC FTAs to help their offense, they're helping them in other ways by not calling all their rampant violations.

[noles1983]

Splitter!! Ffs

[Seventyniner]

anderson continues to get mins

10 years with Parker on the roster has taught Pop to surrender at the first hint of adversity. Nothing to see here...

[Knoxxx]

Shit reffing, goaltend and foul same fuckin play!

[spursfanincolorado]

zplitter sucks

[spursfan 73]

ridiculous, that's a 3pt play the refs missed, cost us 2 pts with Splitter splitting

[senorglory]

Now I really regret ditching work.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[Soul_Patch]

It just me, or does Tiago Splitter resemble one, Mr. Head...

http://cristal.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl3/pics/butthead.gif

[$pursDynasty]

refs letting ibaka get away with everything tonight

[noles1983]

Scrubs sefolosha and ibaka going off =loss

[100%duncan]

Fucking scrub Anderson can't stay in front of Sefolosha. Fuck it. :lmao

[Chachachango]

LOL did gary neal keep sefolosha open?

[Jumi]

Who's man hit the three.......wait for it.........Gary Neal!!!!!!!!1

[T Park]

Sefolosha nailing Manu shots and Ibaka shooting like Dirk?

:lol wow

[smaka]

Neal cant guard a satue of liberty standing in corner smh.

[TE]

Damn, refs, you gotta call something either the foul or goaltend. It's obvious.

That was a momentum shifter.

[T Park]

Sefolosha nailing Manu shots and Ibaka shooting like Dirk?

:lol wow

[Nathan89]

Lets just go out there and score 50 pts in the 4th.

[DontStopBelieving]

Had a chance right there to get within striking distance. There is just no energy or defense be played right now though..

[TE]

Damn, refs, you gotta call something either the foul or goaltend. It's obvious.

That was a momentum shifter.

[naico]

I have rarely seen any player with so many open looks as Sefolosha tonight. Ridiculous.

[boutons_deux]

2nd and 3rd qtrs without getting 20 pts

[Keepin' it real]

It's OKC's night with some of that junk going in.

[Spurologist]

Thabo has won the game tbh. :tu

[Uriel]

In all of our championship runs, we've overcome huge deficits on the road heading into the fourth quarter to win the game.

Let's hope our guys can come back and show the heart and mental toughness that made previous Spurs champions so great.

[Admidave50]

Can just hope that Spurs throw a Clippers performance.

Liked how Spurs played the end of the 3rd, SJax showed some passion and swagger!

[Kidd K]

Ibaka goaltends on the last 2 plays, + 2 fouls. . .no calls on any of those 4 violations.

[MannyIsGod]

The reason Bonner might be useless from this point forward is that OKC is flying to the shooters. Bonner hesitates and we'll all know how terrible he is off the dribble. Please pop...leave him out

Exactly. It kills the movement.

[$pursDynasty]

Sjax only one with some passion out there, put in Dejuan I know he is hungry

[SpursFaninMS]

The reason Bonner might be useless from this point forward is that OKC is flying to the shooters. Bonner hesitates and we'll all know how terrible he is off the dribble. Please pop...leave him out

Thing is they have the paint on lockdown too, even with Bonner in. So, for those saying Blair...he wouldn't help.

Somebody said above, my primary lineup would be Parker, Ginobili, Jax, Leonard, Duncan.

[spursfanincolorado]

it just me, or does tiago splitter resemble one, mr. Head...

http://cristal.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl3/pics/butthead.gif

omg! +1

[Knoxxx]

Aint nothin in Oklahoma but steers and queers.

And I don't see no horns on these people...

[noles1983]

Fuck this game spurs are spineless tonight

[Whisky Dog]

60 pts after 3, that's terrible for such a great offense.

Keep fighting, let them know you won't go away. I wouldn't mind seeing the Spurs play a little nasty here and see if that wakes them up a bit.

Props to thinder for playing a high energy game and taking advantage of the Spurs playing sour

[mexicanjunior]

Ibaka may as well just stand under the rim and knock the ball out from under the basket...refs are not going to call any goal tending tonight.

[smaka]

Ibaka is such a pussy but they let him do every single thing today, damn

[wut]

Scrubs sefolosha and ibaka going off =loss
agreed, we can't afford their others to go off; to top it off we had absolutely no one going off.

[Whisky Dog]

60 pts after 3, that's terrible for such a great offense.

[ballhog]

Refs not having any sort of Spurs comeback.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs will have to win this game in spite of the refs. I think the refs have been bad both ways so I'm not going to blame them. On the other hand, the Spurs have given up too many offensive rebounds and have gone away from what got them here.

The Spurs have no one to blame but themselves.

[Jumi]

TP
Manu
SJax
Duncan
Diaw

Cut it to 10 by the 7 minute mark or sit them all! Quit fucking around Pop. Either do or don't do! Tired of this half ass gameplan!!

[MannyIsGod]

[spurspokesman]

Jax the only 1 with heart right now.

[naico]

I want Jack and Kawhi together out there. Somehow..They're the only ones fighting. Hell, give Anderson a chance, he's doing a good job and giving effort.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax 3333333333333333333333333333

[Uriel]

Jax AGAIN!

[Beaverfuzz]

Captain Jack came to play at least...giant squid.

[100%duncan]

Jax was fouled. Call that motherfucker.

[Admidave50]

Keep fighting, Go Spurs Go!

[MannyIsGod]

Jax the only 1 with heart right now.

SMH

WTF is wrong with some of you?

[100%duncan]

Man seriously, Joey Crawford will officiate better than this. Fuck that.

[noles1983]

Spurstalk taking as shit just like spurs. So god damn slow

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Nice Mills.

[Bulwark]

Way to get playing time patty

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol refs

[SpursFaninMS]

Splitter is just nowhere near having it. I don't know what he's lacking. It is more of a mindset thing. He can still contribute and has the pick and roll game, but he is nowhere near being anything more than a big body to come off the bench.

He's had Fisher and Durant pinned down in the paint and come away with nothing. He has zero aggression in that situation.

[100%duncan]

Really refs? Well that's game, I hope you 3 die after the game.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Patty Mills.....Deer in headlights

[$pursDynasty]

dang everyone in except Blair what did he do???

[Viva Las Espuelas]

whoooooa. nice cans

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Now I see why Mills hasn't played.

[naico]

Why are the refs even still doing 'this'? Cmon now

[therealtruth]

What is Pop doing?

[noles1983]

Ugh cue the thunder are gonna win it all media fucks

[Bulwark]

Kerr: "Popovich is not one to throw in the towel" huh?

[Uriel]

That's it. Game over.

[Admidave50]

What???!!!!??? Offensive foul on Manu?

[spurs1990]

Embarassing effort.

[spurraider21]

so will all you guys on this forum calling for mills to play more minutes instead of neal finally can it?

[Chachachango]

This a good ass whooping.

[Shaolin-Style]

Take mills back out please

[Knoxxx]

Don't blame the refs for the Spurs being down. The refs have gotten the Spurs get away with some travels and fouls tbh. Spurs are just playing like shit right now, no other way to put it.

Are you watching the same game as I am?

Yeah we are not playing to well, but Ginobili makes an incredible shot, and offensive foul, the fix is on let's be real here.

[DMC]

Calling it now: Backdoor sweep

[Darius Bieber]

Eh come on guys, we got to let the OKC fans have some fun before they get their ass handing to them in Game 4.

[ColinB]

Should the Spurs put Lil Wayne behind the Thunder bench in game 5?

[Spurtacus]

Kerr: "Popovich is not one to throw in the towel" huh?

:lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I don't like it

Fuck throwing games, Pop got his ass whipped for three quarters tonight then he threw up the flag

Fuck that

Worst Pop game in months

[Quiet Strength]

lol okc celebrating like they won the series. I still think the spurs will win in 5.

[Admidave50]

I don't know if it's smart from Pop to let Thunder get so confident for next game.

He maybe expect them to lose focus from this easy win...

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs getting owned for 3 straight quarters.

[noles1983]

If this doesnt piss off the spurs they deserve to get back door swept

[Jumi]

What the fuck is Pop doing??? Sit Manu, Splitter, and S Jax! He wasn't even trying to win this game. This looks nothing like Spurs basketball. The substitutions where awful.

[tomtom]

Spurs needed to get destroyed tbh, they got complacent and this is what it got them. If this doesn't fire them up then they're in for a long series.

[DBMethos]

They're gonna have to figure out this whole Sefalosha on Parker thing, cause it's not going away.

[Juggity]

Alright, Thunder. You can have your game. You were on the verge of elimination, but you've staved it off for now.

Spurs got the next few, though. :tu

[ballhog]

LOL Westbrook celebrating beating 12th man on the bench.

[DPG21920]

Spurs don't have the heart or chin of OKC?

[naico]

dang everyone in except Blair what did he do???

He should stfu on twitter tbh.

[Mugen]

:lol SpursTalk meltdowwwwwwwwn

[$pursDynasty]

Splitter is just...nowhere near having it. I don't know what he's lacking. It seems like more of a mindset thing.

He's had Fisher and Durant pinned down in the paint and come away with nothing. He has zero aggression in that situation.

yet some on this board believe he is the next Kevin McHale :lmao not hating on the kid but he has to show me more than he has. The Spurs need a shot blocking rim protector going into next season.

[Beaverfuzz]

Time to put in Blair and let him be on the opposite end of lob city.

[Creation88]

shitty effort from everyone. must regroup for Game 4.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

It just me, or does Tiago Splitter resemble one, Mr. Head...

http://cristal.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl3/pics/butthead.gif

:lmao

[DMC]

2010 Lakers never won in OKC in a 7 game series, but had HCA.

[Whisky Dog]

If Pop is going to go to this get Manu out too. Get Blair in

[Knoxxx]

dang everyone in except Blair what did he do???

If Blair can do nothing else, he can at least grab the ball strong, unlike every other player we have put on the floor tonight.

[siraulo23]

Seriously, is Kawhi injured or some shit???

6 rebs in only 14 mins he's played

[Kidd K]

Why are the refs even still doing 'this'? Cmon now

NBA instructed them to ensure OKC wins. When they had a lead at the half, the instructed the refs to make sure it's a blowout so analysts can claim it's still a series, and so they have an excuse for more lopsided calls in game 4.

I wouldn't put it past NBA fixing 3 games to make it a 7 game series. Not that we played well tonight, but the calls on us and complete lack of calls on Thunder made sure there was no chance of a comeback. Any time one starts, whistles start coming in force to stop it.

[timvp]

Pull Ginobili. Rest up for Game 4.

[SpurPadre]

So, now that we've made Sefolosha look like Michael Jordan, does Pop reinsert Manu in the starting lineup for Game 4?

[Jumi]

whoooooa. nice cans

I thought I was the only one that saw that goodness!
:hat

[Brazil]

Calling it now: Backdoor sweep

:tu

[Chachachango]

Spurs needed to get destroyed tbh, they got complacent and this is what it got them. If this doesn't fire them up then they're in for a long series.


This.

[rasho8]

Want me some Blair.

[ballhog]

Congrats Thunder, winning one game against Spurs to avoid sweep.

[$pursDynasty]

the streak means nothing to me. it is just that the worst thing you can do for a young team is to let them believe

[smaka]

Tiago is so bad, playing as pussy

[Spurologist]

:lmao Fisher coaching a 23 point lead

Blair sighting

[Spurtacus]

lol @ Brooks with his best team on the court against the Spurs 2 1/2 team.

[spursfanincolorado]

Dancing bear!

[DMC]

I called it. I think a lot of us called it. And the Blair bear is out of hibernation.

[Mugen]

2010 Lakers never won in OKC in a 7 game series, but had HCA.

Except they won Game 6 in OKC

[siraulo23]

How does a loss feel?

Spurs probably has forgotten too

I predict ST meltdown for the ages

[siraulo23]

How does a loss feel?

Spurs probably has forgotten too

I predict ST meltdown for the ages

[Juggity]

Damn, anderson with the quick release

[noles1983]

sad that we can only win by 9 but they can win by 20+

[Shastafarian]

Gary Neal: 17 minutes
Kawhi Leonard: 14 minutes
Matt Bonner: 12 minutes
Boris Diaw: 10 minutes

:rollin:rollin:rollin

[Chachachango]

Blair already did more shit tonight than bonner did.

[100%duncan]

Pull Manu put of the game. God can the coaching be worse.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Turnovers up
Rebounds down


Smh

[Whisky Dog]

Um no Steve its a shitload about San Antonio not playing with energy or precision that they have for 20 straight games.

[smaka]

lol at okc playing their best players in garbage time.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs were due for a stinker.

[noles1983]

68 points in 4th quarter lmfao spurs

[SpursFaninMS]

Well that pretty much summed up the night for us.

[LakerHater]

All OKC starters still in :lmao

[$pursDynasty]

one thing I give Blair over Bonner and Splitter, when he gets his money's worth from his fouls that alone is why he should get more minutes

[Darius Bieber]

I hope Durant/Westbrook get injured. They deserve it for being on the floor right now.

[KaiRMD1]

I think the Spurs really needed this loss. The last time we had a loss this bad was by the Lakers so this could be a good thing. Congrats to the Thunder though, they adjusted and it paid dividends. Spurs are gonna have to regroup, can't turn this into the Grizzlies series from last year

[$pursDynasty]

no pressure on Thunder hitting every thing

[naico]

:rollin:rollinROFL Bonner

[Knoxxx]

Brooks finally found his best 5 and Kerr put it best, we never had any fire tonight, we just figured a methodotical approach would suffice.

Mills getting some good minutes finally, let's see if her can get something going.

Anderson for 3!

Stand your ground Blair, you had good position against Ibaka, a weak offensive player that you don't want to put on the line.

[noles1983]

I'm done fuck this shit. I will show up for game 4. Hopefully the spurs do. Lol@sefolosha

[Uriel]

[rasho8]

These calls have been pretty bad.

[SpursFaninMS]

We've gotten our asses beat in playoff games before in our best season. The result is nothing to worry about. The Parker-Sefalosha situation is the only thing that concerns me.

[Budkin]

It's just one of those nights. The sad part is that we led after one. On to game 4!

[$pursDynasty]

I hope Durant/Westbrook get injured. They deserve it for being on the floor right now.

let them enjoy the only win they will get in this series, we take game 4, bank it!

[Shastafarian]

Spurs just got Bonner'd.

[SpurPadre]

Someone needs to give a hard foul to that fucker Sefolosha. Fucker thinks he's MJ now.

[Quiet Strength]

I hope Durant/Westbrook get injured. They deserve it for being on the floor right now.

No they dont

[Supergirl]

lol at okc playing their best players in garbage time.

yeah, patty mills or james anderson should take advantage of the stupidity of okc and just wail durant to the ground, maybe take him out for the series. lol. he'd get suspended, but we could live with that. and i'd laugh my ass off.

seriously, Spurs 2, Refs 1. Wonder if OKC is capable of winning on their own merits? Neither this game nor the regular season (or the last two wins by the Spurs) suggests they are.

[Kidd K]

one thing I give Blair over Bonner and Splitter, when he gets his money's worth from his fouls that alone is why he should get more minutes

Seriously. Someone needs to foul hard and make them not think they can just get into the paint at will with no contest every time.

Splitter is tall, but soft as hell. Same with Bonner.

[RashoFan]

All OKC starters still in :lmao

I guess the OKC coach has finally decided to sit out his starters finally..

[Admidave50]

LOL @ refs on offensive foul.

Last time that Spurs played that badly, they went to a 20-0 run... Can just hope that they go to 6-0 this time!!

[naico]

That clock is ticking FAST in the 4th lol

[Mugen]

I think this is the first time in NBA history that a team down 0-2 wins Game 3 in a blowout :wow

[Budkin]

Thunder trying to make a statement with all starters in. :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Spurstalk fixing to be unbearable until Saturday's game TBH.

:lmao

[TE]

I hope the Spurs play with more resolve in game 4. Playing away from what got you this far is very worrisome.

[Whisky Dog]

Tbh Blair should have been giving hard ass fouls when the thunder main 3 were still in. Harden should have gotten hit in the throat

[ColinB]

Are some of you really giving this game to the refs? LOL.

[mexicanjunior]

This is 2004 Spurs, .4 type loss coming in game 5...at least the Thunder look good enough to beat the Heat.

[Jumi]

:tu

Really?
You can't be serious?

[Shastafarian]

Spurs just got Bonner'd.

Should be the new phrase when a player comes in and the team doesn't score for the next 2-3 minutes.

Bonner'd.

[Nathan89]

These calls have been pretty bad.

As well as the play by the Spurs. They have been thoroughly outplayed.

[Jumi]

Someone said backdoor sweep? Let's not get carried away people.

[cd98]

Last time Spurs lost a game it was to the Lakers. By a blow out. Looked like they couldn't beat the Lakers at the time.

[SpurPadre]

Jalen Rose on espn just said the Spurs are lucky they're not down 0-3 since they almost blew a 22 point lead on Tuesday night and he thinks OKC gave game 1 away.

[rasho8]

Spurstalk fixing to be unbearable until Saturday's game TBH.

:lmao

Yeah. Think I may avoid it except lj's grades.

[$pursDynasty]

it will sound like hating because we are losing but does OKC's coach really coach, all I ever hear his saying in the huddle is Joel Osteen like positive affirmations. If he wasn't blessed with out of this world talent/athleticism I don't know how good of a coach he would be/is

[Johnny RIngo]

Every team gets blown out during a championship run. People getting worried over one game need get to over the 20 game win streak high and think realistically.

[Spurtacus]

I hope Durant/Westbrook get injured. They deserve it for being on the floor right now.

Being pathetic doesn't get you anywhere in life.

[Kidd K]

I think this is the first time in NBA history that a team down 0-2 wins Game 3 in a blowout :wow

It's not. You act as if teams without HCA don't win their first home game after being down 0-2 in 2 road games. It happens all the time. Sometimes in blowouts.

[Nathan89]

I think this is the first time in NBA history that a team down 0-2 wins Game 3 in a blowout :wow

Detroit blew the Spurs out in the Finals on Game 3.

[Libri]

Yeah. Think I may avoid it except lj's grades.

Meltdown threads are funny. :lol

[Quiet Strength]

lol bonner

[Jumi]

I think I'm witnessing this Spurstalk meltdown I've been hearing about!!! This should be good!

[Spurtacus]

:lol Blair cleaning up Bonner's mess

[noles1983]

Jalen Rose on espn just said the Spurs are lucky they're not down 0-3 since they almost blew a 22 point lead on Tuesday night and he thinks OKC gave game 1 away.

and so it starts with these media clowns. jalen rose is an idiot who has a hard time even completing a sentence.

gonna avoid all the stupid ass sports networks for a few days

[Bulwark]

Bonner can't make it against the scrubs

[ShoogarBear]

Is there any time under any circumstances when Bonner will hit a shot?

[naico]

Ok it's the hair. that explains it.

[spursparker9]

Ban bonner please. Blair > bonner

next game

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Well, this game sucked. Hope this loss lights a fire in the Spurs, because the momentum is now in OKC's hands.

[Darius Bieber]

Being pathetic doesn't get you anywhere in life.

Lol it's not pathetic. Everyone saw what happened to Rose and the Bulls' chances.

[Knoxxx]

This is like the Portland game near the end of the rodeo trip, expect we played our starters. :-(

[Mugen]

NASF needs the blue to understand the sarcasm I guess :lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Jalen Rose
:lmao

you were saying? :lol

[SpurPadre]

One thing's for sure, Spurs need to make adjustments for Game 4 regardless of them taking the night off tonight and OKC playing with a serious sense of desperation. Sefolosha on TP was a huge move and I think Pop will consider starting either Manu or SJax over Green to offset that switch.

He is a gwar regular season win booster, but the man has no business playing in the playoffs. Pop should know this by now. Wasted minutes.

Jalen Rose is one of the dumbest ESPN analysts, and is almost always incorrect about everything.

FYI, he was also a very low IQ basketball player too who heavily relied on athleticism to get anything done. Not sure why a dumb ex-player is an analyst tbh. I would assume they'd pay the smart players to do that job. Guess not though.

[LakerHater]

Get ready for media bashing!!

You're pathetic for wanting players to get injured.

Any team that's up 2-0 in the conference finals isn't lucky, they're good. Did he even watch that game. Even though they came back it wasn't like we were in any trouble. We chilled out. Hey shit happens!!!

[Budkin]

Media talking point tomorrow:

Thunder Expose Spurs
