Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Game 4

[phxspurfan]

At least we competed our asses off. Take that hustle back to SA and hopefully we can take game 5

[polandprzem]

fluke season fluke 20 wins

[noles1983]

i hate the spurs so much right now, infuriating

[BRHornet45]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.

[mudyez]

in 4-5 weeks we will all laugh about ourselves doubting out team!

6 more wins to go folks!

[SpursRock20]

I'm probably going to be blasted for saying this but this Spurs team is not a team with championship experience. It's been FIVE years since their last taste of glory and they haven't been close since. And it shows. This team is not playing to their full potential, and the crowd is getting to them.

[SpurPadre]

It was just too big a deficit to overcome. Everything going their way and we made too many mistakes in this quarter to successfully complete a comeback. Kawhi not making good on that forced turnover to start the quarter just signaled to me, it just wasn't meant to be. But at least Pop finally realizes how important Blair is to the team.

[slick'81]

game 5 will not be in okc

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Well shit. At least we still have home court.

[Budkin]

I don't feel bad about this loss KD went superstar. We fought hard and did not turn it over. Game 5 without a doubt we will win.

[Spurologist]

HCA is huge.

[Jumi]

Will you guys cut it out with this "Wait until next season" shit! Damn!

[Keepin' it real]

Morons!!! It's a 2-2 series, we have HCA, and no way their scrubs shoot like this again. You all are PATHETIC!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Thunder are better


Spurs making tough shots, thunder still getting whatever they want


The wheels are off

[Supergirl]

Guys Durant is also like 9-9 in the last 9 possessions. Even superstars don't do that forever. Spurs need to keep making him work - they are - and keep passing and looking for their shot.

[Spursmania]

All you cliff jumpers, man up. The Spurs made this a game despite tremendous shooting from the likes of Ibaca and Perkins. Those guys will not play like this in our house.

[Libri]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.

nah, still more games to play

[phxspurfan]

Game ball to Serge Ibaka.

[DAF86]

Why were they switching so easily. They fucking owned us with the same play for 6/7 straight possesions.

[loveforthegame]

Parker and Ginobili on Durant was just amazing...

[DaSpurs#1]

And how the hell was that a foul. Bullshit.

[Kidd K]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.

2 of the next 3 games at SA.

OKC can't win without extremely lopsided officiating. This bullshit officiating won't take place in SA because the crowd will be booing the refs all night and throwing shit at them.

[$pursDynasty]

I like the change in mindset, just like the Thunder found something at the end of game two that carried over to games 3 and 4, I think the Spurs found something at the end of this game

[Floyd Pacquiao]

matt bonner had to fuk it up didnt he....

[Fireball]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.

if this was another blowout win for OKC I would tend to agree, but this game was competitive ... so no

[Mal]

that`s the game

[$pursDynasty]

all we need is some competent refs

[DMC]

:lol needing a rookie to keep you in the game with the big 3 on the floor

[Shastafarian]

My grasp on the rules is somewhat limited yet again. Is it against the rules to double team a player?

[Quiet Strength]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.

lol no they just gotta take care of homecourt

[phxspurfan]

Parker is flopping on every play wtf

[ernest787]

parker & manu have disappeared

[sammy]

Really! Parker on Durant! This is on Pop! Idiot! Fucking refs giving Durant an and 1 when he pushed off on Leonard! Really blind bats! Fucking Reggie Miller if I could reach into the TV I would punch him out so I don't have to listen to his BS love for OKC! Little bitch that never one anything!

Damn Parker, pass the ball ballhog! Give the ball to Manu or Jackson to make the shot!

[naico]

TP playing like he has a vagina tonight

[timtonymanu]

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.

Kill yourself, faggot.

[noles1983]

lol @ the homers who think the spurs will win at home just because they are at home. This whole series has changed. Spurs are in deep shit

[JohnnySixString]

http://trustliveserve.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/jesus-in-the-boat.jpg

Jesus is no help at all.

[BRHornet45]

2 of the next 3 games at SA.

OKC can't win without extremely lopsided officiating. This bullshit officiating won't take place in SA because the crowd will be booing the refs all night and throwing shit at them.

always blaming the refs huh? son the Spurs have shot more free throws 8 of which were completely bogus/phantom calls. OKC has just flat out beat the ever living shit out of the Spurs in these last two games. stop whining.

[$pursDynasty]

what a foul?

[Capt Bringdown]

Will Pop go with Blair for game 5?

Similar to the panic mode of last year. Spurs completely back-footed.

What adjustments can the make? OKC is the better team.

[Spurologist]

Fuck the Thunder

[slick'81]

2-2 that is all

[Kidd K]

. . .

Again, refs giving the game to OKC.

[SpursBabe99]

They did make a comeback and could've been as close as down by one in these few minutes but their crap defense and lack of stops killed us!! Seriously not playing good at all....you can see the fire in OKC's eyes :depressed
Ugh

[Spursmania]

like I said sons this is a MUST WIN for the Spurs. if they lose this game then the entire series is over.


Why-you actually think Ibaca and Perkins are going to have a great game in our house. Please... :rolleyes

[ernest787]

god i love leonard

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Thanks Kawhi.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop needs to read a riot act,, I used to hate when Phil used to do it, but this no calling of goaltending has to stop

[Mal]

fuck me, Durant is unstoppable

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi amazing

[timtonymanu]

All you cliff jumpers, man up. The Spurs made this a game despite tremendous shooting from the likes of Ibaca and Perkins. Those guys will not play like this in our house.

It's funny cause they will all change their tune if we win next game.

[Mal]

as so is Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

Parker laid the biggest egg tonight. :td

Leonard manned up tonight though.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard has balls of steel

[slick'81]

again game 5 will not be in okc

[RashoFan]

leonard with B2B 3's

[noles1983]

leonard keeping score respectable

[~Sweetmelody~]

A Stop

[mudyez]

we need bonner on the court!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Kawhi doing what he can, but this one is done. Fuck my life.

[Mal]

Big game, wow

[$pursDynasty]

Perkins on manu but no call, I hate David Stern

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Leonard needs some help.

[slick'81]

spurs down 7

[boutons_deux]

fuck fuck fuck

Spurs can't stop shit

[loveforthegame]

Spurs played with fire too late.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan and Parker smh. Both laid an egg tonight. Step the fuck up, you two.

And I hope Bonner is benched for the rest of the playoffs.

Regroup. Get ready for Game 5. Get back some momentum.

[Duncan2177]

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

:tu

[Spurminator]

This is disappointing but y'all act like none of our Championship teams lost both games of a series on the road.

[phxspurfan]

Double Durant plz

[Texas_Ranger]

4th quarter defense was just great...

[~Sweetmelody~]

Where's the Nasty? LOL

Same thing I want to know!

[urunobili]

Kawhi refusing to lose :tu

[phxspurfan]

Let ball to to WestBrick at end of games plz

[mexicanjunior]

I'm glad Durant found his game, at least the Thunder are playing good enough to keep the Heat from winning in the finals. Duncan should retire after this series, he shouldn't have to waste what is left of his knees on this bullshit. Pop can choke on Bonner's foreskin and die for all I care.

[Matty2Cool]

Spurs have showed some fight makes me think game 5 will be closer than this was, but its still gonna be a really tough win for the spurs. I'll stand by my "sprus won't win another this year" statement. I hope im wrong I really do, I want to cruise downtown and run around with my spurs flag.

[JohnnySixString]

Next game...the Spurs should try to score a lot of points. Again. Some more.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a turnover here

[Chachachango]

Kawhi only guy who came to play. TImmy has to get ridiculed for not showing up. Bonner eat a dick and green, srry bro, but you are falling fast. Blair MUST play and some other bullshit blah blah blah blah

[Spurs Brazil]

The soft play of Tiago and especially Bonner killed us

[Ice009]

Kawhi has played his heart out tonight.

Thanks Kawhi.

[DMC]

always blaming the refs huh? son the Spurs have shot more free throws 8 of which were completely bogus/phantom calls. OKC has just flat out beat the ever living shit out of the Spurs in these last two games. stop whining.
:lol living vicariously through the Thunder.

[Mal]

Spurs played with fire too late.

How ? They got time to win being down 7-10 pts with 6 minutes, but Durant hit all of his last 7 shots :bang

[Mugen]

:lol It's been a while since a Game 5 has meant anything to the San Antonio Spurs.

Reminds me of the championship years :toast

[therealtruth]

The Spurs don't have enough time but I think Pop has to shorten the rotation.

[noles1983]

lol no defense, spurs barely getting to 100, giving up 100+ regularly now. Lots of reasons for concern even going back home. Not much confidence in this soft team as of right now

[loveforthegame]

Spurs have to regroup and take care of business at home.

[sammy]

all we need is some competent refs

Agreed! :toast

[mexicanjunior]

This is disappointing but y'all act like none of our Championship teams lost both games of a series on the road.

If those versions of Duncan are coming back to play for us, I would be more optimistic...

[urunobili]

fluke season fluke 20 wins

Please don't post your ref thread for game 5. Twice you've done it we've lost. :tu

[$pursDynasty]

getting torched by KD is acceptable letting their scrub bigs dominate us in the first half is NOT, more Blair next game less Splitter and NO Bonner

[Shastafarian]

. . .

Again, refs giving the game to OKC.

Refs are as horrible as they always are. They're not giving this game to anyone. Pop's decisions, parkers lax play, and the general fart cloud hanging over the team (aka Matt Bonner) are giving this game to OKC.

[RashoFan]

Spurs played with fire too late.

I'll take it over rolling over and giving up any day...

[timtonymanu]

Spurs have showed some fight makes me think game 5 will be closer than this was, but its still gonna be a really tough win for the spurs. I'll stand by my "sprus won't win another this year" statement. I hope im wrong I really do, I want to cruise downtown and run around with my spurs flag.

Then please don't raise your damn flag if they win. Cliff jumper.

[DMC]

The soft play of Tiago and especially Bonner killed us

No no, Tiago is the Spurs savior. Free Tiago.

[mudyez]

this series wont go 7!

[SpurPadre]

after 4 games, they've had better quarters than we've had and they look like the better team at this point. To think it took a big 4th quarter to pull out Game 1 or we're down 1-3. After the Blair revelation for Pop, hopefully we can still prove to be the better team come Monday.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

no more fuking boner next game

[Blue-Lightning]

I wish Duncan and Manu would wear some cymbals since the Thunder are just going to beat the hell out of them.

[Ice009]

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.

A lot of people thought the Spurs didn't need homecourt.

Homecourt is the only chance we got in this series.

[phxspurfan]

Yes! Keep ball in WestBrick's hands Yes

[DPG21920]

Got it

[Whisky Dog]

This is why you work all season for home court.

Take care of them in SA like we have every time before and the series is ours. Win game 5 and the pressure will be high for them in 6.

It's anyone's series now, Spurs have to play like beasts at home and win.

[Crookshanks]

I had to work tonight, and I turned on the radio on the way home. It was about halfway through the 4th quarter, and the Spurs were down by 4. After Durant scored 11 straight points, I turned it off because I was screaming at the top of my lungs at my radio. All I can say is - WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE SPURS???!!!!!!

[Jumi]

Quick three then Hack a Perkins!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a basket here

[Mal]

Now i realized that those easiy gave up switches were so deadly

[spurs1990]

DeJuan playing the 1st half I think the game would have been closer.

[$pursDynasty]

despite all world probably never to be duplicated shooting by the Thunder the Spurs were still in this game all the way till the end, that is why I am NOT a cliff jumper, this was not a blowout despite all world performance by Thunder's others

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

spurs gotta defend that off-ball screen like they did last possession.

[Capt Bringdown]

Sefo on Parker was the coaching move of the 2012 playoffs.

[Shastafarian]

This is disappointing but y'all act like none of our Championship teams lost both games of a series on the road.

I think the thing that stands out most was the horrid defense before the 4th quarter. You could see a HUGE change in intensity. Where the hell was that?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Credit Durant

Credit ibaka


Spurs are in trouble

[mudyez]

tbh, I can already smell Bonner beeing the first big of the bench in game 5...and call me stupid, but he will play great!

...skrew it...I call my self stupid too!

[PublicOption]

notice how the refs made sure the spurs couldn't get back in it. the refs had orders. spurs win 20 in a row and just like that they lose 2. whatever.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

ibaka ,perkins and collison will never shoot like that again im confident for game 5

[Supergirl]

Durant will have games like this if we don't have our best defender on him - which we did until the 4th quarter. That's when they switched Jax off him, in order to shut down the freakishly hot Ibaka. I think that was actually Pop's mistake - he lost faith in the fact that Ibaka is a scrub who can't hit like that all night, and that opened Durant up.

Still, even if the Spurs lose this, they go home, where the refs should be more friendly, and still have a chance to close this out in 6 or 7 games. I didn't think this series would take less than that anyway.

[Spurologist]

Spurs are undefeated since 2009 after losing 20+ in the playoffs




















except tonight :pctoss

[sammy]

Down by 7, Spurs score here bring it to 5 or 4 if they make a 3, then do hack their weakest free throw shooter!

[Fireball]

Quick three then Hack a Perkins!

you can only foul the man with the ball in the last two minutes of the game

[DPG21920]

Manu fuck off

[Spurs Brazil]

: Manu

[Sa_Spursfan20]

That's game. See you back in San Antonio.

[SpursRock20]

What a weak play out of the timeout

[Mal]

what was that ?

[boutons_deux]

got dammit Manu

[noles1983]

after 4 games, they've had better quarters than we've had and they look like the better team at this point. To think it took a big 4th quarter to pull out Game 1 or we're down 1-3. After the Blair revelation for Pop, hopefully we can still prove to be the better team come Monday.

this, dont understand the whole its we got game 5 cuz its at home thing. As shitty and soft as this team looks i don't have much confidence

[loveforthegame]

Good pass Manu.

[AusSpur]

The important thing out of this game is the Spurs learnt how to streetfight with the Thunder.

Their shooting will revert to the mean.

[Spursmania]

Manu with the fucking worse pass ever.

[naico]

Turnobili with the clutch play

[DaSpurs#1]

Fuck.

[Supergirl]

This game was a must win for OKC - remember that. Very rare for anyone to come back from a 3-1 deficit.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Well....

[smaka]

bravo Manu

[Texas_Ranger]

great pass Manu...

[mudyez]

Pellka: 22/25 for 49 points....wow!

[Manu-20]

Look this was a tough loss but people need to remeber OKC is very hard team to beat on their home floor and game 5 is still in SA were our role players play much better or the team for that fact plays much better at home. Spurs should win game 5 but the question is if they can close out the thunder on their home floor.

[timvp]

Turnobili with the nail.

[Spursmania]

Pop did put in Blair too late.

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs have experience. They've been here before.


Remember the Mavs in 06?

:(







:rollin

[Jumi]

you can only foul the man with the ball in the last two minutes of the game
Damn!

[timtonymanu]

I better see that championship mentality back in San Antonio, boys.

I only saw it out of Leonard, Blair, and Jack tonight. Big 3, I'm mostly talking to you.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

this game was over but ginobili has turned it over a lot. obviously 2-3 of them were due to some questionable calls but that is still really disappointing.

[Paranoid Pop]

Turnobili statpaded his TOs again tonight.

[Budkin]

Why Manu why???

[siraulo23]

The Spurs fought

Thats all i care about given the outcome of this game

[$pursDynasty]

you can't run plays w/o your point guard in, Pop.

[Man In Black]

Whatevs it's 2-2 and Spurs got Homecourt.
They better protect homecourt!!!

[maverick1948]

no more fuking boner next game


Yep Bonner did it to us again. He plays 2 mins and game is lost.

Get a life DA.,

[therealtruth]

Pop should have gone for the win last game. That's why you don't give up games.

[sammy]

Fuck! How can you turn over the ball when inbounding the ball! Fuck!

[noles1983]

lol spurs dropping 2 in a row, having to pray for game 5. Another agonizing 2 days

[PublicOption]

if there big 3 score 88 and lose....the league had to come in and help.

[Mugen]

At least they fought this game.

Game 5 is going to be epic.

[Budkin]

Game 5 is ours!!!

[mudyez]

Down by 7, Spurs score here bring it to 5 or 4 if they make a 3, then do hack their weakest free throw shooter!

dont know the rules?

[DBMethos]

Thunder smell blood. Game 5 is going to be a fucking war.

[Man In Black]

Hopefully we will get refs who understand what a goaltend is.

[Shastafarian]

Pop did put in Blair too late.

How about that timeout in the middle of their own run :lol That was a gem. Pop deserves a pretty low grade tonight.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL, home court?

Spurs must beat OKC in their arena.

Spurs ain't got the bottle for a game 7. Durant is clutch. We're not.

[Paranoid Pop]

Manu : team high 6 turnovers

[spursparker9]

In 2005 we remembered Super Manu

In 2012 we remembered Turnobili

[Ice009]

The soft play of Tiago and especially Bonner killed us

Yep. Both were soft. Both sucked ass. Bonner was scared shitless and Tiago was just softer than a marshmellow.

[Tuddy]

Where are the fast break points? Why do we only push the ball when we're playing at home?

[Spursmania]

Man, I was so angry screaming at my TV throughout the game.
We all need to calm the fuck down. Spurs can and will win the next game.

[maverick1948]

WTH let's play Duncan 48 mins and Tony 48 mins and Manu 48 mins.

[Chachachango]

Anyone DTF?

[Jumi]

Duncan actually played pretty well. The overall team defense killed us tonight. Gotta do better in San Antonio. Blair needs to get Bonner's minutes and we should be OK. Can't win them all!!!

[Budkin]

Bonnet won't play. Blair all the way

[DaSpurs#1]

Just because I only have 30 seconds left to say it... Fuck! Fuck! Fuckity fuck!

Spurs sure as hell better have a better game than they had the last two. I was not impressed at all... Once more: fuck.

[SA210]

Pop did put in Blair too late.


Stupid son of a bitch Pop waited too long to put Blair in (the only time we actually gained momentum back), then refused to put him back in, (after Blair went out OKC got back in it).

:lmao

Pop sucking assholes

[$pursDynasty]

The Spurs fought

Thats all i care about given the outcome of this game

in the 2nd half they did, they stopped being afraid to go to the rim and made a game out of it, just ran into a red hot KD. If we played as bad in the 2nd half as we did the 1st I'd be very worried :nope

[smaka]

big 3 needs to step it up game 5. d green better grow some balls. bench ginger.

[Spurologist]

lol spurs dropping 2 in a row, having to pray for game 5. Another agonizing 2 days

how does praying work?

[phxspurfan]

Sweet, national media back on Thunder bandwagon.

[noles1983]

its gone from sweep, to we win game 3, to we will split, to we have homecourt, to game 5 is ours....

[JohnnySixString]

Deja Vu 2006

[mudyez]

tbh, I'm sure we will win game 5 with 20+ and then again in game 6

[Budkin]

Thunder smell blood. Game 5 is going to be a fucking war.

Nope we win by 15

[SpurPadre]

why the fuck did Manu foul there? Does he want to lose by 10?

[DPG21920]

Hats off to a fluke game. Spurs fought at least.

[Texas_Ranger]

deja vu 2006

2004

[Mugen]

Manu starting. Three big rotation with Blair.

Let's get Game 5 Spurs.

[Spursmania]

How about that timeout in the middle of their own run :lol That was a gem. Pop deserves a pretty low grade tonight.

He did get outcoached, without a doubt. I want some nasty was quickly replaced with Scotty outnastied me. Lol...

[$pursDynasty]

why that foul, if you are gonna foul Harden knock his block off but that was a dumb foul

[Kamala]

Ibaka 11 for 11 fuck me now

[JohnnySixString]

tbh, I'm sure we will win game 5 with 20+ and then again in game 6

And what about these last 2 games gives you that feeling? :lol

[Spurminator]

Deja Vu 2006

Why not 2007?

[CosmicCowboy]

7 games apparently. Spurs at least get to profit from the playoff games. I still believe. Spurs in 7.

Those fucking blue/white t-shirts are freaking gay as hell.

[SpurPadre]

way to hit it when it doesn't matter, Danny.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Danny Green for hitting that when it doesnt matter.

[DPG21920]

Now Danny hits; maybe gets him going.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

God damn it Green. You're supposed to hit that BEFORE the game is out of hand.

[$pursDynasty]

big 3 needs to step it up game 5. d green better grow some balls. bench ginger.

I don't want to see Bonner on the court again until he is there helping us hoist the :lobt2:

[RashoFan]

Game 5 is ours!!!

this

[jiggy_55]

Now green scores? Hope that builds his confidence

[siraulo23]

The spurs made their run

A lot of credit goes to OKC, when durant scores what? 17 in the 4th quarter they're tough to beat

[spursfanincolorado]

Spurs make fts and get a few goaltending calls and its tied up! Fuck

[loveforthegame]

Of course Green hits when it doesn't matter. But maybe that will get him going again.

[Mal]

hell of a game that was. Spurs fought.

[DaSpurs#1]

Green omen? Hope so.

2-2.

[Spursmania]

Confetti and celebration as if they have won the Championship already.

[DaSpurs#1]

Double post.

[Budkin]

If not for Durant we had that.

[SpursBabe99]

FML Spurs!!!!!!!!! AAAAHH C'mon guys! Seriously the fire came too late, we needed more rebounds and actually making shots with the put backs, some better defense, better scoring off the transition, and of course better ball movement and hitting the paint hard. Don't worry though Durant was on fire which hasn't been the case...he just had a good game tonight and Ibaka getting away with some goal tending in my eyes but I'm not gonna blame the refs or jump off....all it is...is a start of a new series! Tied 2-2 baby and we're coming home! Let's do this boys!!! BELIEVE.

[Spurologist]

Sweet, national media back on Thunder bandwagon.

:tu

[noles1983]

And what about these last 2 games gives you that feeling? :lol

Exactly. We got owned the last 2 games. Thunder beasting and spurs shriveling up like scared little soft bitches. Game 5 victory is far from assured, let alone winning by 20 the next two games. Stupid prediction

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Matt Bonner is the reason I don't have any ginger friends.

[Shastafarian]

He did get outcoached, without a doubt. I want some nasty was quickly replaced with Scotty outnastied me. Lol...

His in-game adjustments have been atrocious. Not sure how you let Durant score on that many consecutive possessions in the clutch without doubling as soon as he touches the ball. At least force him to pass it. Harden hit a three yeah but by that time it was all but over. Also wasn't off an immediate double.

[noles1983]

bonner, not only do i hate that fag cuz he sucks, hes a gator as well.

[SpursOwn]

Anyone who thought this series wasn't going 7 was kidding themselves. We are sitting fine.

[Ice009]

Well, here we are again. A HUGE GAME 5 and an MEGA SERIES on our hands.

AWESOME stuff.

Now's the time where we will see who has the balls to do it.

[SpurPadre]

Green omen? Hope so.

2-2.


Still not enough to convince me he should start over Manu now.

[siraulo23]

:wow didnt even realize Ibaka shot 11-11

[RodNIc91]

Why the fuck pop went with a zone is beyond me

[Quiet Strength]

I think pop should start manu over green. Maybe green will do better against their scrubs. What's important is to get manu going early.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

If anything, this game has just reinforced my confidence in Kawhi Leonard. I love this guy's heart so much. Im so happy he is a Spur.

[Spurologist]

So what's the over/under on how many minutes Bonner plays for Game 5. 0?

[Quiet Strength]

And blair should be the first big off the bench. No more bonner.

[Ice009]

Anyone who thought this series wasn't going 7 was kidding themselves. We are sitting fine.

This is also why I wanted home court so badly. Lots of people said we didn't need it against OKC or Miami. Crazy stuff indeed.

[JohnnySixString]

So, I guess the Spurs just need to score more than them next game.


:depressed


Oh well, time for some medication to erase this "Spurs are Shit" feeling.:lol
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/ST-3-bud.jpg

[Jumi]

Overall, I liked our effort in the second half, but the defense has got to be better. They hit on about 6 straight possessions. Nobody said this was gonna be easy. The Drive for Five continues! If I were the Spurs, as soon as the interviews are over, I'm on the plane headed home!

[icango]

His in-game adjustments have been atrocious. Not sure how you let Durant score on that many consecutive possessions in the clutch without doubling as soon as he touches the ball. At least force him to pass it. Harden hit a three yeah but by that time it was all but over. Also wasn't off an immediate double.
he was asking for double team, but player didnt want to leave their man for open jumpers

When we won our tittles TD was a top5 player in the league and the best player in the series we played. Even in 2007 he still being dominant in the playoffs.

Actually we are a better team but even with Tony being 5th at MVP we don't have that kind of superstar like Durant or Duncan/Manu in the past. None is the guy who takes over every game. Everybody has to step up.


This run is gonna be different but we can win again. We did a pretty good job. These 2 losses hurt but we are tied.

[DPG21920]

What a fluky series.

[CosmicCowboy]

Gonna be a great 7 game series.

[boutons_deux]

Killed on RB, FG%, AST

lose by a few while Ibaka shoots career high and perfect night.

[DaSpurs#1]

Ok, how about we actually watch the game footage this time Pop?

[timtonymanu]

Well, I'm not underrating the Thunder by any means, but Spurs shouldn't feel pressure after that. They should be disappointed in themselves, but not giving up like some of the faggots on here. Seriously, grow some balls.

- I understood why Pop put Neal on Harden. When Danny Green isn't hitting shit, you know Neal can. You just risk giving up defense. Did you want Pop to go with Anderson instead?

- Ibaka and Perkins had the games of their lives and we still kept it close. It's a grey thing to point out, but it's true.

- Blair earned playing time for the rest of the series. Bonner is a lost cause like always. I don't give a shit about him.

- Duncan, Parker, and Manu better the wake the fuck up.

If anything, this game has just reinforced my confidence in Kawhi Leonard. I love this guy's heart so much. Im so happy he is a Spur.

Kawhi played with tons of heart tonight. Loved the effort he gave and I wanted to give him a standing ovation for continuing to keep fighting out there.

Jax, Kawhi, Blair those guys showed they are tough and aren't giving in. We need to play our mentally strongest players.

I know Blair seems to be dumb bbiq wise at times, but honestly do you guys think he is mentally tough? I think he showed tonight that he is.

[ducks]

duncan now has figured out how to score on perkins
He might break out soon
had a decent game this second half

[Spurologist]

Scott Brooks just called Perkins, Perkie?

:lmao

[Mugen]

Bonner being dropped from the rotation and this team become infinitely tougher, both mentally and physically.

I'm looking forward to him being benched the rest of the series.

[HI-FI]

So, I guess the Spurs just need to score more than them next game.


:depressed


Oh well, time for some medication to erase this "Spurs are Shit" feeling.:lol

already one step ahead of you boss. otherwise i'd be wanting to punch something or go running.

everyone hates Bonner but I bet he'll even contribute next game. I imagine Spurs bench will finally play off the charts like the Thunder did.

Kawhi....what a fucking Killer....so happy he's a Spur.

this series is coming down to who wants it most, hate to say. Thunder aren't backing down, not at this point. if Spurs want one final shot, this is it.

I cannot agree more. Captain Jack, Kawhi, and Blair looked like the only guys who gave a shit out there tonight. Props to Blair for showing up despite the fact that he has been on the bench for so long. He needs more playing time this series, because Bonner is playing like absolute shit right now.

Game 5 is do or die for the Spurs. Spurs better show up this time.

[Shastafarian]

he was asking for double team, but player didnt want to leave their man for open jumpers

Did he now? I must have missed it.

[KaiRMD1]

Blair NEEDS to play, simple as that

[T Park]

Ibaka 11-11 on mostly jump shots. :lol. Just wow.

[crc21209]

Damn, Game 5 is going to be EPIC. At least Pop finally figured out that.Bonner is a lost cause. Well, its not like the Big 3 and Pop havent been here before. Up 2-0 against Seattle in 05' and against Detroit in the Finals, only to come back and win Game 5. Lets do it guys....

[Paranoid Pop]

So did KY.

[ducks]

wow 22-25
perkins,collison and S. Ibaka



westbrook and harden still not shooting great


spurs still can do this

please do not insert booner for one minute pop

[Budkin]

Ibaka 11-11 on mostly jump shots. :lol. Just wow.

That will NEVER happen again. Especially not in SA.

[Paranoid Pop]

Ibaka 11-11 on mostly jump shots. :lol. Just wow.

Also took the TOSB to the basket with ease tbh.

[T Park]

I think sadly Manu and Duncan are gassed. The lack of days off in between is a killer like TIMVP said it would be.

[ducks]

oh and duncan now has figured out perkins
he was actually pretty good second half

[Paranoid Pop]

That will NEVER happen again. Especially not in SA.

He was hitting everything against Blair in March too. He can shoot jumpers, let just deal with it instead of being in denial.
