Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Game 4

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi not making good on that forced turnover was a real letdown...damn. now back to an 8 point lead.

[noles1983]

i dont think a team has ever irritated me more than this thunder team

[boutons_deux]

shit

[timvp]

Interesting whistles. Keep going.

[Capt Bringdown]

ballgame

[DPG21920]

Amazingly inconsistent whistle on what constitutes a foul

[naico]

Damn i can't stand Harden. Flops after every damn shot he takes. He's gonna twist his ankle once landing down.

[Matty2Cool]

not a conspiracy

[Spurminator]

Ibaka turning into Channing Frye out there...

[Spurs Brazil]

And WTF with this lineup Pop?????? Neal on Harden won't work

[Libri]

Dumb Tony DUMB

He forced it.

[Duncan2177]

That skinny pencil dick ref is calling everything one one!!

That stupid SOB I wanna kick his ass

[Budkin]

Run the fucking offense

[HI-FI]

seems like Stern is jizzing for a Thunder/Heat finals tbh

[Floyd Pacquiao]

hehehe fuk that bitchass nigga

[phxspurfan]

This defense is beyond horrible. Makes it almost impossible to win

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Refs just not letting us get back into it

[DMC]

Screen used the same shoulder Manu used.

Tony trying to play without his team.

Spurs not getting any benefits of the 50/50 calls.

[Manu20]

Good game REFS! See you thunder in game 5 back in SA....

[mudyez]

doesn anyone realise that we are playing blair, neal, diaw and a rook in one of the most important games at that very moment right now?

[ernest787]

i'd rather see manu in the game with blair. he runs the pick and roll more effectively with blair than parker does.

[sammy]

Bring Manu back in! Parker go back to the bench!

[RodNIc91]

Are u fuckin kiddin me!!!! These refs keep shifting the momentum to OKC

[jhuan16]

Lol at Pop for having Neal guarding Harden.

[timvp]

This is going to take a Herculean effort, tbh. But I think there's another run left in this team.

[DMC]

There's that fat faggot

[Plumblbw]

I shut my eyes when I see Neal defending Harden

[Nathan89]

I'm not liking the script the NBA is writing for this series tbh.

[smaka]

Stern laughing fucking idiot

[spursparker9]

fuck stern with his smile

[$pursDynasty]

STern happy the fix is in

[phxspurfan]

lol Stern w the shit eating grin

[Mal]

Stern with big smile, expected

[Kidd K]

Too hard to win 5 on 8 on the road.

[Spurologist]

Stern can't stop smiling :lmao

[~Sweetmelody~]

Stern with a Huge smile, lololol

[Horse]

Anyone who thinks refs dont influence affect decide games is fucking crazy.

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Neal

[loveforthegame]

Neal with it.

[sammy]

Damn i can't stand Harden. Flops after every damn shot he takes. He's gonna twist his ankle once landing down.

I'd put my foot under foot and cause ankle twist for that little bitch! Bring in Jackson!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I love how Stern is there with his smile. "Good job refs, I like the Thunder!"

[Floyd Pacquiao]

their you neal

[DBMethos]

One last push. Come on Spurs.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Neal with it bitches.

[noles1983]

neal and 1...lets get some stops spurs and take the lead already

[Chachachango]

A lot of time left but if the SPurs want to take this game they better start playing d and better o like now.

[$pursDynasty]

keep takin it to the paint

[timtonymanu]

If Danny Green wasn't being such a non-factor this series, Neal wouldn't even be on the court right now.

And with that, Neal gets an AND-1.

[Richie]

I believe we can win this, but I don't think we are good enough defensively to do it. Im more worried than usual

[ernest787]

still didn't like the offense on that possession though. neal bailed them out

[Manudona]

LOL the tv guys said Neal..... with a bucket.... and 1. They were so unsure of what the ref were whistling

[Kidd K]

Stern with a Huge smile, lololol

No shit. . .Stern hates the Spurs and loves OKC. He's happy when he can see that his command for OKC to win both game 3 and 4 is coming to fruition.

[Josepatches_]

Run the fucking offense

This

Can't blame only the refs

[Quiet Strength]

Blair should have gotten a shot.. not diaw

[BatManu20]

Diaw sucks at shooting

[noles1983]

we have to score on the rare time they miss! jeeze

[~Sweetmelody~]

Diaw, you need to make those

[Capt Bringdown]

Have the Spurs abandoned the fast break?

[Josepatches_]

Blair is too short

[noles1983]

11-11 lmfao

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

11/11 really?

[$pursDynasty]

no foul calls on the Thunder whatsoever

[phxspurfan]

Parker begging for calls all game. Just play hard and take it to them. Stop playing scared.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Neal with the best defense of his life but Ibaka gets a putback. Spurs can't get a break!

[sammy]

How does that count when it was shot clock violation and ball should go back to the Spurs!

[Kidd K]

Parker fouled, no call. At least they fuckin gave the ball back this time.

[Texas_Ranger]

Ibaka is like Oberto

[DMC]

Tim not looking for anyone to pass to, not once.

[mudyez]

Pellka: 21/24

[Manudona]

didnt Oberto have an 11-11 too???

[~Sweetmelody~]

Make them Tim!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ugh Duncan.

[RashoFan]

Are u fuckin kiddin me!!!! These refs keep shifting the momentum to OKC

We need to TAKE IT BACK!!! :hit


This is going to take a Herculean effort, tbh. But I think there's another run left in this team.

:tu

[Quiet Strength]

Damn duncan

[noles1983]

duncan make your fucking free throws

[01Snake]

TD with the brick FT's

[Mal]

hack a timmy coming

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What the FUCK Duncan

[DMC]

Ibaka is like Oberto

no

[noles1983]

TOSB at it again

[BatManu20]

Tim Duncan we need you. Plz

[Capt Bringdown]

Tim chokes another FT

[Supergirl]

Announcers now announcing all the scrubs who Ibaka is competing with for best record for a perfect game in shooting. Wanna tell me it's not luck now? Ain't no one done it who's anyone you'll remember in 10 or 20 years.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Fuck yeah td!!!!!!!!

-4

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Attack Timmy! there ya go

[spurs1990]

Timmy with the make up thank god@!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

There you go Duncan!

[RashoFan]

Go Timmy Go Timmy Go!!!

[~Sweetmelody~]

Thank you tim!

[Budkin]

Timmay!

[$pursDynasty]

I love the Spurs taking it to the rim has made all the difference

[loveforthegame]

Fts are so precious and we're not capitalizing on it.

Duncan with a strong move.

[urunobili]

TD with the runner!

[ernest787]

back to 4. time for tim, manu, and parker to step up.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no hesitation please thank you

[phxspurfan]

what a game...GSG

[Spurologist]

Parker begging for calls all game. Just play hard and take it to them. Stop playing scared.

Point taken but refs have to consistent

[JohnnySixString]

Aren't the Spurs supposed to score more than this?











:rolleyes

[lefty]

Keep this up Guys

[Manudona]

-4, if the ref (a big if at this point) call the game fair I like the Spurs chances

[Supergirl]

How does that count when it was shot clock violation and ball should go back to the Spurs!

Because Ibaka got away with another offensve goaltending

[bklynspursfan]

come on it's now or never guys. Deficit is 4, their big 3 are not in rhythm. Really has to be about wanting it more.

[Manu-20]

Fuck yes Spurs not giving up on this game!

[SpurPadre]

If we can somehow pull this off, there's no way the Thunder will recover from it. Time to lock up on D and win the 50/50 battles, goddamnit.

[timvp]

Please basketball Gods. One time.

Believe.

[RodNIc91]

Come on guys! Let your cheers be heard there in OKC. Our spurs need it!

[SpursRock20]

Do the commentators have any idea how difficult that shot was? They go bonkers over all of OKC's baskets, but Duncan just swished a running hook with the off hand over Perkins and they showed no excitement. Seems very 1 sided all around tonight.

[Supergirl]

yeah, if Duncan were making his FTs we'd be tied up or in the lead right now

[Spurologist]

The Camera should've been on Stern after that TD hook. Just for my curiosity tbh

[Budkin]

A lot of time left. Need stops!

[turkish spurs fan]

praying.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Bonner gives all momentum to Thunder, Blair gives all momentum to Spurs. Way to go Pop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Get some stops.

I'm feeling Neal will go crazy from 3

W.

[Capt Bringdown]

Aren't the Spurs supposed to score more than this?


Somebody did a "Spurs can score at will" thread and the Spurs haven't been the same since.

[Libri]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[ThePop]

LET'S GO!!!!
http://px9.funformobile.com/d/169/61/1fjdcjav7c/crazyass.gif

[Floyd Pacquiao]

gotta get some fuken stops now

[JohnnySixString]

Somebody wake Jesus up and tell him the Spurs need his help!

[Warlord23]

4 point game with just under 7 minutes to go. With the Spurs teams of old, you could count on them to turn up the defense and execute in the half court. With this team, they never seem to string together a series of stops when playing from behind. The only hope is for Parker or Manu to do something phenomenal to see us home here.

[Kidd K]

Fts are so precious and we're not capitalizing on it.

Duncan with a strong move.

Refs are only calling fouls on the Spurs bigs who can't hit FTs. . .they're not calling anything when Parker, Ginobili, Neal, etc are getting hit because refs know they will knock them down.

[Keepin' it real]

11 for 11. Even OKC fans know this is bullshit. Lmao

[Matty2Cool]

at least that movie looks funny

[turkish spurs fan]

bonner have to come in. we need him.



























joke.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Still in reach. GRIND THIS SHIT DOWN. Get the stops!

[timvp]

If we can somehow pull this off, there's no way the Thunder will recover from it. Time to lock up on D and win the 50/50 battles, goddamnit.

:lol Spurs fans can't help but count the Thunder out about 23423904012984102948102938 times this series even though these two teams are even.

[sammy]

I fell off the chair when they finally made a call against OKC! Really!

[ace3g]

I'm going to be pissed if this game comes down to an offensive foul or goaltending missed call late...

[$pursDynasty]

I believe!!!

[Quiet Strength]

bonner have to come in. we need him.



























joke.

:lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

Same old, same old. Defense wins championships.
Stops please.

[Blue-Lightning]

6 Min... a win goes to the finals... a loss makes it tough...

I've loved the past decade, and I love this:

GO SPURS GO

[Cherry]

Is time for WIN THIS SH*T!!!!

[slick'81]

still a ways to go for the spurs to get this w

[Kidd K]

The Camera should've been on Stern after that TD hook. Just for my curiosity tbh

Why's that? So you can see the scowl on his face, then him looking at red #14 and adjusting his tie to give the signal to give OKC the next 3 calls?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Just a great shot by Durant.

[noles1983]

another durant prayer going in

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Come on dammit

Smart defense
shoot with confidence

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Kawhi!!

[phxspurfan]

Can't believe I said Spurs in 4 lolol

[slick'81]

spurs down 4

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard? Fuck yeah

[ernest787]

love that leonard went back at KD.

[loveforthegame]

Nice move by Leonard.

[Mal]

OKC wont miss a jumper till the end of game

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Too easy for Durant. Terrible defense.

[slick'81]

durant going god

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fucking KD getting hot

[JohnnySixString]

Same old, same old. Defense wins championships.
Stops please.

Do they still do that anymore?

:lol

[RashoFan]

at least that movie looks funny

:tu

[loveforthegame]

Jax!!

[slick'81]

all day jax lol ibaka facing him up

[noles1983]

lucky beard missed there

[Quiet Strength]

Wow parker

[Capt Bringdown]

I'd like to see OKC's offensive efficiency for this game.

They score EVERY possession it seems like.

[slick'81]

damn thought tony had that

[spursparker9]

fuck parker!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Danget Parker. Ballhog.

[noles1983]

bad calls, cant beat the refs

[phxspurfan]

That J was so late ....

[Kidd K]

wtf? Durant pushes off and it's a foul on us??

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker in FULL CRAP mode

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck.....

[BatManu20]

Omg Parker wtf

[RashoFan]

uggghhh

[slick'81]

durant turned on beast mode

[lefty]

F u TP

[loveforthegame]

Parker with dumb offenses then a dumb foul.

[ernest787]

story of this game. miss a chance to drop it to 2 points and instead give u an and one

[SpurPadre]

Rough night for TP when we need him the most.

[SpursRock20]

How was that a foul?

[smaka]

another idiot call. fuck this

[$pursDynasty]

man these refs callin fouls on us and nothing on them then again, KD is a stone killer

[Sa_Spursfan20]

God damn it.

[naico]

KD taking over

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn it TP

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

parker sucked

[Matty2Cool]

I dont know what to think anymore

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker :madrun

[DMC]

Those fouls are bullshit. When the shot is not affected, when the shooter initiates contact, no foul.

[BRHornet45]

sons I don't want to hear no bitching about the refs ok

CURRENT FREEBIE COUNT

Spurs - 16

OKC - 13

[sammy]

Parker really! Pass the ball! Bogus offensive foul on Parker when it should've been against Durant!

[Spurs Brazil]

Great play Kawhi

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

In a few years Kawhi will be so good!

[slick'81]

nice kl

[lefty]

Leon'

[loveforthegame]

Leonard!!

[Chachachango]

kahwiiiiiii


BIG BAAALLS

[RashoFan]

Thank you Leonard!!!

[noles1983]

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why does Parker keep getting on Durant?!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why is Parker on KD?

[$pursDynasty]

get the ball out of KD's hands

[slick'81]

beast

[ernest787]

that parker on KD matchup is just stupid

[smaka]

Kawhi with the goods

[noles1983]

parker on durant..AGAIN WTF

[~Sweetmelody~]

Parker on Durant is not going to work

[slick'81]

jax wants durant

[boutons_deux]

Spurs can't get any stops

[lefty]

No help

[SpursOwn]

Have to hack Perkins, Durrant unstoppable.

[phxspurfan]

Yes! Take it to them! Go North-South

[loveforthegame]

So we fix our offense and our defense goes to shit.

[noles1983]

unfucking believeable

[slick'81]

acne going insane

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

stop please stop!

[lefty]

F u pop

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Come on, play defense on Durant!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

KD taking over.... :td

[naico]

Thats game.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

I don't even know what to say right now.

[noles1983]

TOSB- thats game spurs lose again

[boutons_deux]

fuck fuck fuck

[slick'81]

game

[phxspurfan]

Fouls on everything lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Parker with a Bonner game

Pathetic

[urunobili]

Pathetic D...

[mexicanjunior]

Durant is awesome, I'm glad he will be the one to take Lebron out in the finals.

[Quiet Strength]

This game was given to okc. I'm confident the spurs will win at home.

[DBMethos]

KD God mode activated.

[noles1983]

get out of my sight spurs. disgusting defense if you can even call it that

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why the hell is Leonard not on Durant?! Way to go Pop.

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck you Spurs defense...

[JohnnySixString]

So we fix our offense and our defense goes to shit.

Everyone seemed to like it until now. :lmao

[ernest787]

KD has taken over.

Our stars haven't stepped up

[Spurologist]

WOW. Kevin Durant

[Matty2Cool]

Spurs are done, hopefully we can have a good off season and make some good moves, i knew this run was too good to be true, it's okay always a spurs fan. Kawhi will be huge next year.

[Libri]

:pctoss

[Whisky Dog]

Shit, we're just getting out executed in the 4th. Hats off tonight

[Budkin]

Tip your hat to KD. Nothing you can do.

[$pursDynasty]

ain't much you can do against the league scoring leader when he wants to go off, Spurs let the scrubs score too many points and let KD just wait till the 4th to go off.

[loveforthegame]

Wow. These fouls.

Spurs better take care of business at home.

[spursparker9]

game over.

get ready for game 5

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs in trouble.

OKC looks like a team of destiny.


ANOTHER epic Spurs playoff collapse.

[Richie]

Durant and1. That's game. Just not good enough defensively.

[Spursmania]

We lost. lol... Get ready for game 5.

[timvp]

Spurs got Duranted. Can't do much if the best scorer on the planet is on fire.

[Supergirl]

Durant going off. Jax switched up to shut down Ibaka, and no one else can guard Durant it seems. Hmmm.

[DaSpurs#1]

Fuck you Durant.

[Thompson]

Why haven't we used the hack-a-Perkins at all? The Thunder can't miss a @#$%^*& shot.

[RashoFan]

Dang, Durant has turned into a beast....ugghh

[Manu-20]

Well thank god for homecourt but still game is not over but it's going to pretty hard for the spurs to win this game.

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker and Ginobili on Durant was just amazing...

[ColinB]

Kevin Durant is a great player. Too bad he didn't stay at UT longer.

[Kidd K]

Not sure why anyone's even upset now. It was obvious the refs were giving OKC this game as early as the 2nd quarter. The officiating isn't any more lopsided now than it was back then.

Inevitable conclusion when you're playing 5 on 8.

[Libri]

WOW. Kevin Durant

Spurs playing from behind is a killer.

[Mal]

Wow Durant, just wow. Big time player

[BatManu20]

Durant is making the Spurs his bitch. DOUBLE OVER he's obviously on fire! Make someone else beat you! Jesus Pop make a fucking adjustment!

[$pursDynasty]

that being said I like the way the Spurs have played in the 2nd half much better than the previous 6 quarters
