Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 5

[$pursDynasty]

this isn't, can't be the same team I have watched all season, or even the beginning of this series

[baseline bum]

This season is pretty close to being over; the Spurs HAVE to make a run right now.

[LakerHater]

Spurs FUCKIN suck, not even church yesterday helped!!

fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!

[Bonner4MVPzz]

It's over guys....

since the spurs are pissing me off, whos the chick in your sig?

[007nites]

What ever happened to setting picks???????????????????????

[polandprzem]

F'ing nightmare. It's going to take a reversal not to get blown out.

[wut]

We look completely rattled. I don't even recognize this team anymore.
I feel the same way....crowd is nervous too because of it. I mean, what the heck happened? The thing is that this has nothing to do with what the Thunder are doing anymore, this is all a mental collapse where the Spurs (mainly Parker), are flat out just not playing team basketball anymore.

[Mal]

What happend ? They thought they could sweep everyone ?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

.............................................

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

parker and neal have been very disappointing.

[Richie]

If we can't hit wide open 3s this is over

[Admidave50]

Make it close by the end of 2nd quarter and BELIEVE!

[roycrikside]

Nobody but Manu and Jack have shown up. amazing how poor Tim and Tony are playing.

[Basketball Jones]

Stay under 10 pts behind and get it together in the second half.

[TE]

I think I might be finished with the NBA. I don't think I've ever seen such inconsistency in a fucking pivotal game. Fuck you stern, fuck your ratings, and fuk your new era you fuckig pussy bitch prick.

[SplitterHook]

We know for sure Pop panicked 'cause when Duncan got himself in foul trouble he put bonner in early and few seconds later he remembered that Blair/Bonner frontcourt sucks, then he took him out and decided to put a guard lol.

He lost his mind right there.

[Bulwark]

We're gassed...

[Holt's Cat]

Find your fucking nutsacks.

[ginobili fan]

I want to cry like a big pussy

[MannyIsGod]

I've never seen a meltdown like this before. OKC is basically the boxer that just took shots, withstood it and watched the other team go nuts that they couldn't knock them out.

:lol Spurs have had much bigger meltdowns than this. 1995, 2001, and 2004 all come to mind. Maybe not MUCH bigger but at least on this level.

I still believe these guys can pull this out.

[DPG21920]

It's not over, but it's hard to imagine turning it around with how bad they are and no leadership.

[ernest787]

can't blame pop for this. Without Duncan we have not post game and it's killing them

[~Sweetmelody~]

It's Do or Die Spurs, Let's go!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Parker. WAKEW UP

[maverick1948]

Front rimming shots. Just horrific panic play. It's on Pop. He started it. He panicked.


POP PANICKED????? Duncan, Diaw 2 fouls each and POP PANICKED?? What the hell would you have done? Left them on the court?

Sometimes I think some of you are stark raving MAD.

[Basketball Jones]

Not poor playing by Tim and Tony but good playing by OKC.

[BatManu20]

Parker sucks. Take him out

[capek]

Parker getting embarassed out there

[Horse]

the refs are in their head

[mVp]

since the spurs are pissing me off, whos the chick in your sig?

Zahia Dehar

[Brazil]

wow

[Sa_Spursfan20]

If this ship is indeed sinking, I'm going with it.

Still, I can't believe this is happening.

[smaka]

fuck u Tony shitting on the floor

[100%duncan]

Fuc.

[Rummpd]

Beyond pathetic

[MannyIsGod]

Wow.

[Uriel]

I feel sick.

[ALVAREZ6]

Game.

Good luck in the finals OKC.

[timtonymanu]

Meltdown.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

[loveforthegame]

wtf Manu?

[Libri]

:pctoss

[01Snake]

Game over

[DAF86]

Manu tried to kill TD with that. Fuck.

[capek]

Ginobili too my god

[slick'81]

wow i dont know how san antonio are gonna score again i really dont

[$pursDynasty]

what is pop doing during the breaks? I haven't seen them show him yet, is he coaching?

[MannyIsGod]

That wasn't a foul. Fucking surprise - they called one.

[Bulwark]

Kerr: "Bad sign if you're a Spurs fan" Really?

[Mal]

I cant believe it

[baseline bum]

Fucking shit; this WCF isn't as painful as 95, but maybe worse than 01.

[Kyl3]

Not even any contact from ginobili there.

[BackHome]

I Dont Give a Shit about Pop but if you have the best record for two years in a row and you don't even get to the championship round you should be FIRED!..ie...Bob Hill

Get some balls I can't understand why guys are not playing with passion out there? TAKE THE BALL TO THE FUCKING RIM............

[DPG21920]

:lol Spurs have had much bigger meltdowns than this. 1995, 2001, and 2004 all come to mind. Maybe not MUCH bigger but at least on this level.

I still believe these guys can pull this out.

No way. Not with how good they have been playing. Never this sudden. Up 2-0, playing amazing, clinic basketball.

[phxspurfan]

tv has been turned off.

[Brazil]

14 pts fuck me

[smaka]

is timfucking sleeping????? fuck the team whocant catch the ball fuck

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I wish I could say it was fun while it lasted.....

I really thought we were special this year

[Richie]

Ok, this is just hard to watch now

[Rummpd]

-14 and counting

[Admidave50]

It looks close to over... shit

[mVp]

I just can't believe the season is ending like this... how the fuck did we win 20 in a row?

[Darius Bieber]

I hope the fans boo the Spurs after this game. They deserve it, playing like this.

[Kuestmaster]

Season over folks. It was nice till it lasted

[Kyl3]

Crowd is pissed off.

[Brazil]

Pathetic

[MannyIsGod]

SO much isolation now. WHY? Can anyone fucking explain that to me?

[100%duncan]

This is just sad.

[Rummpd]

Good night ...

[$pursDynasty]

you know what I really hate, all those years I laughed at the Kings, Suns and Mavs for being offensive minded teams scoring tons of points in the regular season and getting bounced out of the playoffs when the game changes in the playoffs and it looks like we may be on the verge of the same happening to us.

[LakerHater]

Fuckin Spurs are afraid of the paint!!!

[JohnnySixString]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/reaper_chevelle/choke1.jpg :bang

[Kyl3]

The pass to no one.

[MannyIsGod]

No way. Not with how good they have been playing. Never this sudden. Up 2-0, playing amazing, clinic basketball.

This is just like 95, 01, and 04 man.

[Brazil]

oh my god

[boutons_deux]

Season over

[jiggy_55]

I can't watch this!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

wow just wow

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Fucking terrible.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Wow...

[ShoogarBear]

Fuck, even Jack is afraid to shoot now

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

if i have to point a finger at what have attributed to this, i have to say it is because of the disappearing act of TP..

[loveforthegame]

No one wants to take a shot outside of Neal.

[Rummpd]

What a joke of a performance, I want some softness Pop must be saying

[Richie]

Just so. So bad.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax 33333333333333333333333333333

[100%duncan]

Thank you Jax.

[Uriel]

There we go. Calm down. Shoot with confidence.

[MannyIsGod]

Can't believe Manu wasn't shooting FTs on that inbounding foul. WTF?

[smaka]

Fuuuuuuuuckkkkkk

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Just let Sjax and Gino take over offensively

[DAF86]

Everybody needs to settle down on offense. On defense is where they need to keep the intensity up. On offense they need to think.

[LakerHater]

Fuckin scared.... Theyre jus scared.,. PUSSIES!

[Bulwark]

jack

[lefty]

Balls

[smaka]

Yesss captn jack

[loveforthegame]

Can't even get excited by the 3.

[Mal]

o ja jebie

[Duncan2177]

This spurs team is full of a bunch of gutless weak cowards.

[spurspokesman]

thx jax

[Kidd K]

Spurs fans need to act like Philly fans and start throwing batteries at these fuckin refs.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Captain Jackson. Dude is a professional. Fire them up Jack.

[BackHome]

I am going to bed and pretend this is just a bad dream...lol

[Brazil]

I'm speechless worst spurs half ever

[DAF86]

If we go to halftime down by less than 10 we win this thing.

[007nites]

I don't think we can play any worse. Which is a good thing. I mean we are only down by 10 points.

[spurspokesman]

damn duncan on the line

[Trill Clinton]

zero movement on offense.

[polandprzem]

any other team choked so badly?

Spurs are the best chokers all time

[DPG21920]

No logical moves here. Just hope they play better. Let's go boys. Tim, do something special. Show some heart and pride.

[100%duncan]

Are you kidding me Tim? You can't hit anything! Fuck this shit. Wake up man!

[Texas_Ranger]

nice to see that only 2 guys came to play... Love how Tony talket smack to Westbrook and now he's the bitch.

[Bulwark]

man make your ft's

[rapliketp]

RIP Duncan era Spurs. Time to rebuild?, ie don't re-sign Timmy?

[JohnnySixString]

you know what I really hate, all those years I laughed at the Kings, Suns and Mavs for being offensive minded teams scoring tons of points in the regular season and getting bounced out of the playoffs when the game changes in the playoffs and it looks like we may be on the verge of the same happening to us.

Naaaaa, no way

defense isn't that important

:lol

[TDfan2007]

Tim Duncan has been absolutely atrocious in this series, and it's all coming to a boil here. Even his FTs look awful.

[Rummpd]

If Spurs within 10 at half sewill seem like a moral victory

[Kuestmaster]

We can't say goodbye like this to our season. Somebody show.some heart besides Jax and Manu. This could be our last chance in a long time dammit.

[$pursDynasty]

keep driving to the rim and foul these role players out, since we won't guard them

[DPG21920]

Great defense and pass and leak out.

[100%duncan]

Go Spurs Go!

[Kidd K]

And 1, but no call. Obviously.

[Bulwark]

nice pass TD

[Sa_Spursfan20]

There we go! Get some stops and push it!

[Kyl3]

We really needed that.

[Brazil]

one stop one basket

[loveforthegame]

That was nice!

[Kyl3]

Crowd really into it suddenly.

[100%duncan]

nice to see that only 2 guys came to play... Love how Tony talket smack to Westbrook and now he's the bitch.

Shut up Faggot.

[DPG21920]

Holy shit, OKC just keeps answering. They don't even let you have a moment to celebrate. Huge shot by westbrook.

[Brazil]

tp bailed out by the ref

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Parker warms up now. He's been MIA since Game 2.

[Uriel]

They have an answer for everything.

[slick'81]

whats soo funny is the spurs r winning this game

[Rummpd]

Getting with 8 will seem like a moral victory after all that bad shit.

[spurspokesman]

vaginas hanging out for the spurs

[spursparker9]

Durant 1/6 ?

This is bad...

[100%duncan]

I hope Jax fucking slaps Pop in the face and wakes the fuck outta him.

[Kuestmaster]

It would be nice if you show up in the second half Tony

[ploto]

Refs with a couple calls to help spurs back into game.

[roycrikside]

Down 8. Tim and Tony completely MIA in first half.

[Uriel]

Let's look on the bright side.

We played arguably our worst half of the season, and we're only down 8.

[timtonymanu]

The team should give Pop a speech this time.

Why mess with a lineup that got you a 20-2 record? Even with the struggles of Danny Green, you don't change the lineup dramatically this late in the playoffs.

[Rummpd]

I could see this quarter ending with the Spurs fouling Durant on a successful 3 point shot after all the other crap along the way.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs are on the ropes for sure. Shit they may be on the mat with a 5 count right now.

Now we get to see if they have the ability to come back and make this some seriously good footage for the championship DVD. :lol

[Bulwark]

Durant 1/6 ?

This is bad...
Yeah, but he'll go 10/10 in 4th

[Kyl3]

Get that broad in the game.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs are on the ropes for sure. Shit they may be on the mat with a 5 count right now.

Now we get to see if they have the ability to come back and make this some seriously good footage for the championship DVD. :lol

[DPG21920]

OKC went from taking punches to delivering haymakers. Just a stunning performance from OKC after stomping the Spurs 2 straight games on the road. I don't mean to gush, because this sucks, but this is one of the most impressive series I have ever seen from another team vs the Spurs. Just absolutely stunning. No reason to believe OKC falters now (they've appeared to turn the corner) but here is to hoping.

[EVAY]

We are going to win this. I'm telling you.

[illcendiary]

This sort of garbage play reminds me of the mid 2000s Spurs. Fuck everything up in the first half, lock down on defense in the second half and take the game back.

The difference is that these Spurs can't play defense.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

A lukewarm end to the quarter. Deficit is 8. Spurs can do this if they play like their true self, the one that made us all believers in the first place.

Rise up Spurs fans. It may look somewhat dire, but Spurs are still in it. Let's get it done.

[$pursDynasty]

Durant 1/6 ?

This is bad...

very bad cuz he can rest up til the 4th if we let the role players keep going off

[illcendiary]

[Basketball Power]

We lucky only down 8

[polandprzem]

I can't believe


Spurs has nobody who can take this shit over and so lousy play

TO's :pctoss

[TDfan2007]

These Thunder are playing like the Grizz last season. Endless swagger, no quit, very physical and athletic. All that said, I'm happy to be down only 8, but Kevin Durant's onslaught is coming.

[Bulwark]

Durant 1/6 ?

This is bad...
Yeah, but he'll go 10/10 in 4th

What a bitch move by Westbrook

[smaka]

westbtick is idiot make him shoot clown shots

[timvp]

What an abortion of a first half.

This would have been a good time for a halftime beer, tbh.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Let's look on the bright side.

We played arguably our worst half of the season, and we're only down 8.

durant is 1/6. and they are up by 8. and you know Durant will get his eventually

[Mal]

If anyone know anyone who currently is at the game, text them, called them. Spurs need this crowd to push a win in 2nd half. My hometown team was pumped up today by crowd to fight through 13 point deficit and take a win forcing game 7. It is possible, but guys need extra energy brough by crowd.

[024]

oh man.. the thunder bullying and disrespecting the spurs like the grizzlies did last year. and we all know what happened last year....

[Spurs Brazil]

Down only 8 at the half is a miracle. We were awful.

It started with Pop and his stupid rotation, Parker playing scared and not being aggressive. TD passive defense

It's only Manu and Jax fighting. We'll need a MONSTER, HUGE turnround to win this.

But I believe. Comeback, play smarter, harder and get the W

[Fireball]

That first half was kinda nasty :lol

[Slippy]

Where is Tony Parker? The head of the snake in hybernation.

Do something!

[DPG21920]

The Spurs are on the ropes for sure. Shit they may be on the mat with a 5 count right now.

Now we get to see if they have the ability to come back and make this some seriously good footage for the championship DVD. :lol

For sure - there isn't any logic to this. What we are seeing is the "softer" side of basketball/sports/winning. It's mental. It's heart and confidence. It's hunger, as you mentioned before.

There is no logical reason to pick the Spurs to turn this momentum train around; but as fans we get to hope for something big to happen.

[Rummpd]

What an abortion of a first half.

This would have been a good time for a halftime beer, tbh.

Blue Moon in hand and ordering another what a sick feeling at least can enjoy a quality beer - if I was in SA might have a Shiner Bock!

[Kuestmaster]

And jesus people in the arena, get drunk if you need to but show some emotion!! Your team needs you

[$pursDynasty]

I pray Timmy wakes up and takes over because it doesn't seem like TP is going to be the one, I say take it to the rim every play use home court edge to foul out Ibaka and Sefalousha and then take our chances but we can't let scrubs like Cook look like all stars

[Bulwark]

That first half was kinda nasty :lol
Not the nasty Pop wanted

[Manu20]

Pop Quiz---14 assists and 5 TO vs 10 assists and 11 TO.....

[Basketball Power]

Spurs lucky not to be down 20

[024]

spurs are lucky that they are only down 8.... but that doesn't mean they will win the game.

[100%duncan]

If Parker plays like shit again and Timmy still wont have his balls back, then bye season. But I doubt that. I fucking doubt that.

[Rummpd]

Again the bright side is when it was 14 2-3 more baskets by Thunder and game over but Spurs now on the edge of getting back into it.

[Seventyniner]

What an abortion of a first half.

This would have been a good time for a halftime beer, tbh.

Drank my halftime beer during the second quarter.

Will probably need another two before the game's over tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Well it's not over yet, but the Spurs put themselves in a bad position.

OKC clicking on all cylinders. Spurs look out of sorts. Pop/Duncan/Parker mostly to blame for that bad half.

[Richie]

8 points, this isn't over by a long shot.

We CAN win this. If you don't believe this team has a run left in them, turn off your tv and go to bed

[Brazil]

westbrick is a little bitch

[DPG21920]

You know what, I hope that wakes Danny up some. He doesn't seem like the guy who is ok with getting punked/shown up.

[Obstructed_View]

Let's look on the bright side: The Spurs have played their worst half in the postseason.

Unfortunately, we can say that about every half for the last six games. So no bright side really. I did see a successful pick and roll, and the Spurs ran a double pick when OKC tried to switch. Didn't help much since nobody's shooting with a lick of confidence. Never too late.

[Kidd K]

Refs with a couple calls to help spurs back into game.

Spurs haven't been getting calls since the first 2 minutes of the game, now all the sudden if they get consecutive calls for once in the game since then, the refs are "helping them back into the game"? gtfo.

By that logic then, the refs have been helping OKC get and keep their lead for the last 18 minutes.

[ginobili fan]

Ok it's a single digit the way we've played we should be down by 20.
We've been there before , come on remember 2006 and the dallas series we were down by 20 at the half.
The only thing I want is even though we loose tonight, is heart.
Show some respect to yourselves guys, play with intensity, show your experience, be agressive and be confident.

Believe.

[mudyez]

timvp with a dp made my day!...now lets win this game!

believe! (I'm using it way to often for the last few days)

[polandprzem]

worst bball spurs play all season long

[spurspokesman]

These Thunder are playing like the Grizz last season. Endless swagger, no quit, very physical and athletic. All that said, I'm happy to be down only 8, but Kevin Durant's onslaught is coming.
hopefully it comes after the game in his angry comments stemming from a loss

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What happened to Duncan

How does he get fatigued in game 5 after a week long rest prior to this series


There's no question Duncan is tired

He's the slowest guy on the court on both sides he's more anchoring our d for crap

[jestersmash]

Green can only hit 3s when he legitimately believes any 3s he makes "is a bonus" and he's just in the game to provide "energy" and "hustle."

The instant he realized that the team kind of relies on role players hitting open shots, it was over.

[Mugen]

Manu & Jack the only guys not playing scared right now.

Sad to see Tim & TP like this.

[Kamala]

Westbrook hit Parker in the face and then blocks Green's shot after the buzzer! FUCK HIM UP

[z0sa]

:vomit: worthy first half, and 2.5 games from TP... a few gimmicky switches+Thabo and TP turns into an over dribbling little bitch, it's really sad to watch right now.

[DMC]

Jesus, people... Believe or gtfo.

[Duncan2177]

LETS GO SPURS WAKE THE FUCK UP AND TAKE IT THIS IS IT :bang:cuss:pctoss:ihit

[EVAY]

Kenny is making good points. So is Charles.

[Manu20]

8 points, this isn't over by a long shot.

We CAN win this. If you don't believe this team has a run left in them, turn off your tv and go to bed

Im a Spurs Homer by heart! But the Body language of the players (except for Manu and Jax) is horrible :depressed

Hopefully they snap out of it..

[MannyIsGod]

I've been pretty dissapointed with Kawhi tonight. He needs to shoot that 3 instead of pump faking and trying to drive.

[spurspokesman]

11 tos ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

[loveforthegame]

So Westbrook blocks Green taking a jumper after the buzzer and just walks away? OKC slapping the Spurs around and doing nothing about it.

Will Parker and/or Duncan show up this half?

Not expecting much to be honest.

[DMC]

What happened to Duncan

How does he get fatigued in game 5 after a week long rest prior to this series


There's no question Duncan is tired

He's the slowest guy on the court on both sides he's more anchoring our d for crap
I think he got a new tattoo so he's playing injured.

[blkroadrunners]

Just gotta buckle down and relax this 2nd half.

[Russ]

More Splitter.

More Jack.

Shake well, stir . . . and pray. :)

[mudyez]

still searching for that miley cyrus sex tape :D

[loveforthegame]

How are we only down 8? Stumped.

[JohnnySixString]

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-si5urzty7sg/Tsl68P12SKI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/jsAWGPOtoCw/s1600/head_up_your_ass2.jpg


I hope they can make this happen












:depressed

[DAF86]

I think they should slow down a bit on half court offense. If you have the chance to run do it but when you're on the half court set settle down a bit. They are rushing things too much and playing way too anarchic and that helps OKC scramble defense. Make them work a little bit more.

[Nathan89]

You know what, I hope that wakes Danny up some. He doesn't seem like the guy who is ok with getting punked/shown up.

He's playing like a bitch under pressure. He's a bitch.

[dbreiden83080]

Whole team is playing


SOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMC]

Does Charles Barkley have Parkinson disease?

[sammy]

I just don't understand why they are not playing with a sense of urgency! I know they got out rhythm when Timmy and Diaw got into foul trouble (how convenient refs, so much for home cooking?) and taken out the game which made us go small and no-one could make shots except for Manu and Jackson! Everyone playing soft, Parker too scared and Neal playing like a rookie! No rebounding and the BS goal tends that are not being called for us is pissing me off as well! Come on Spurs, after all of this, do you want to end this run now! Really! That bitch Westbrick, what kind of shit is that! :bangGreen needs to knock this bastard out!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a couple of special performances. Seems likely that Jax and Kawhi are the other guys to step up. But I am still all about the movie storyline where Danny plays the hero.

[illcendiary]

They played pretty terribly in the first half of Game 1 as well. They played badly in the third quarter as well before turning it on in the fourth. Hopefully this game follows the same trajectory.

[urunobili]

TD and TP would need to explode if we're going to win this...

[Nathan89]

Manu on pace for 34 minutes. Not enough...Not enough...

[EVAY]

TP is getting double teamed every time he brings the ball up. Then he gives it somebody else who doesn't want to shoot it, and it all goes downhill from there.

Spurs will come back!!!

I believe!!

[ploto]

That crazy first few minutes running around like roosters with their heads chopped off seemed to wear out the Spurs.

[spurspokesman]

Jesus, people... Believe or gtfo.
There just venting dmc lol. It was a pathetic first half.

[TDomination]

I really want Danny Green to start in the 2nd half...just go back to our original starting lineup, please Pop

[Keepin' it real]

And jesus people in the arena, get drunk if you need to but show some emotion!! Your team needs you

I'm at the arena. Wearing my whiteout shirt and yelling in the lower level. I'm doing my part. The Spurs players...not so much. Sickening to watch. But still within striking distance.

[baseline bum]

What an abortion of a first half.

This would have been a good time for a halftime beer, tbh.

Man, I went to the liquor store today and saw one of my favorite beers (Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron), but figured it wasn't a good beer for watching the game at 11% ABV. How wrong I was. :lol

[Quiet Strength]

Should the spurs switch on defense like okc? Might be better than leaving them wide open on offense. The spurs have to experiment a little and find a way to get more stops.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Believe

[dbreiden83080]

Does Charles Barkley have Parkinson disease?

He has Twinkie disease...

[DPG21920]

He's playing like a bitch under pressure. He's a bitch.

He's a role player that has played several big playoff games. He's slumping, I wouldn't call him a b*tch.

[Ice009]

Blame right now: 1) Pop 2) Duncan/Parker 3) Role Players

Yep.

Spurs still have a chance.

Manu and Sjax are playing their asses off.

Spurs WILL WIN THIS. Keep chipping away and keep fighting.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs really need to remember what got them here. Its one thing to lose playing the best way you can, but its quite another to lose while abandoning what got you to this point.

DANCE WITH THE ONE THAT BROUGHT YOU. The Spurs got here based on the PnR, ball movement, and role players believing in their shot. Get back to that, and if OKC beats you then tip your hat.

PS - God help the Spurs if Durant actually plays well in the 2nd half.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Let's fucking win this

[Mal]

Manu on pace for 34 minutes. Not enough...Not enough...

Boston is even older, with shorter rotation, and they are going like this every 2nd day for like 3 weeks

[spursparker9]

no more green and bonner.

pray neal will be clutch.

Gary Neal will get going, Danny Green will get going, but neither will matter with the crazy turnovers and Tim "black hole" Duncan. I've gotten to the point of just saying "fling it up there Tim" every time he gets the ball and he doesn't disappoint.

Better to burn out than to fade away.

[noles1983]

Just got caught up from the DVR. LOL what a bunch of bitches, spurs are hot garbage wtf

[Keepin' it real]

The wheels have completely fallen off. I still can't believe what I'm seeing.

[Quiet Strength]

I really want Danny Green to start in the 2nd half...just go back to our original starting lineup, please Pop

nah manu did much better. Green has been playing like shit.

[$pursDynasty]

we might need to go back to Green starting the 2nd half the Manu experiment didn't work

Not when we have a chance to win this! :nope

He's a role player that has played several big playoff games. He's slumping, I wouldn't call him a b*tch.

Technically he's had played well in some playoff games but I don't think there was much pressure.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs are showing amazing psychological weakness, no confidence, no intensity. They don't believe.

[Kuestmaster]

Timmy, we need you. It's now or never.

Yeah but you're not a douche bag like half of the so called Spurs fans in these game blogs. I swear some people in here are so fucking quick to turn on players that have delievered.

[$pursDynasty]

not that Timmy did much but his foul trouble hurt in the first half, not that Tiago and Dejuan were bad but they weren't game changing either, we need one of our 'other' bigs to go off like Perkins and ibaka did last game

[DMC]

He has Twinkie disease...
He has a really bad speech impediment. I think his tongue is too big for his mouth, and he overproduces saliva. He's always trying to talk around his tongue and he's never taken the time to learn people's names.

Also, the TNT crew seems to be on a cold trail a lot, i.e thinking Perkins got the T for complaining instead of for the elbow. Perk was explaining the elbow, but he got the T anyhow.

[DPG21920]

Fuk Timvp's game threads clown

[Bulwark]

TD and TP would need to explode if we're going to win this...
Wow... Does Timmy still have it in him? Let's hope so. I wish it was just one or the other.

[SA210]

The amount of rest Tim Duncan gets is just plain laughable. It's the most important fucking game of the playoffs. All starters needed all fucking game!!

[manufor3]

more minutes for manu, he needs to stay in there for pretty much the whole 2nd half

[DAF86]

Pop may have played the nasty card way too early.

[TDomination]

nah manu did much better. Green has been playing like shit.

he is playing worse than shit, but we need him. We need him in his comfort zone which is with the starting 5. he makes a huge difference. he hits a few shots, he will have a bounce in his step and then his D picks up.
