Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 5

[Ice009]

Tim too slow.

[Slydragon]

At this point the only way we win the next 2 is if Perkins does bath salt on the plane ride home and looks at Durant with a twinkle in his eye.

[Rummpd]

All that and back to where we were end of the half, lets show them that they were premature to say it is a changing of the guard!

[Uriel]

Please. Please. Please.

Please. Please.

Please.

:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry

[noles1983]

Manu and jax only fucking grown ass men on the spurs team. The others should be fucking ashamed

[spursparker9]

So much for saving Duncan's mins, Duncan coming into training camp slimmed down...

[Richie]

One last run, let's see some fight spurs.

[timtonymanu]

I want to say we have one more run in us, but the damn Thunder look so confident. Some one other than Manu has to take over.

[Manu20]

Just 1 more run!! And let it start with the Defense!

[roycrikside]

Basically need to force five stops and score on every possession the rest of the game. Easy.

[Uriel]

Please. Please. Please.

Please. Please.

Please.

:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry

[loveforthegame]

Jax. But we're just settiling for 3s.

[weebo]

Crazy start. But I like the energy and the attacking.

Keep it up.


Its not over until its over. Even if the spurs lose tonight they are still capable of winning at okc and coming back home to finish them off. Unlikely but its possible. Im not giving up on this team. :flag:

:lmao

[JohnnySixString]

Its not over until its over. Even if the spurs lose tonight they are still capable of winning at okc and coming back home to finish them off. Unlikely but its possible. Im not giving up on this team. :flag:

And what about these past 3 games makes you think that?


:rollin

[spurspokesman]

Duncan still looks slow

When the tape is re analyzed for this series it'll be Duncan's slow and shoddy play that really doomed us
Add turnovers to that list

[$pursDynasty]

they are already writing the Spurs Obiturary, but I have faith, and am praying for a Spurs win

[Rummpd]

Spurs need to get it to 5 with 3-4 minutes left next minute or so is so key!

[Juggity]

Last chance, spurs.

Don't fuck this up.

Drive to the basket.

Get fouls.

[Mal]

Is Westbrook that stupid to take more shots ?

[InRareForm]

This is a tease. Durant just going to do his trolling job here now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why does Duncan keep looking so God damn slow

Holy crap

[Kuestmaster]

I'm praying. And I don't believe in any kind of god.

[Juggity]

Last chance, spurs.

Don't fuck this up.

Drive to the basket.

Get fouls.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

cmon spurs one more big run

[Crookshanks]

3 games ago, everyone was talking about how Tony was playing at MVP level. How could someone with this much experience not find a way to adjust to what OKC was throwing at him?

And what happened to vintage Duncan? It's all just gone to shit.

[cheney212]

we need another fucking stop, thunder have gotten so many easy baskets

[100%duncan]

Play this line-up till the end of the game. Now or never Pop.

[therealtruth]

Everything comes down to defense. They need to play their best defense of the season and take care of the ball. Get the ball movement back.

[sammy]

Diaw and Leonard need to step up besides Manu and Jackson! Let's Go Spurs!

[AidanNelson2009]

I wouldn't rule out the Celtics beating the Heat in game 5, just sayin'

[Richie]

A stop and a score. Come on!

[OldSilentHill]

In the SJ 3 pt possesion, the clock started way before to run. ANYONE HAS IT RECORDED TO CONFIRM?

[noles1983]

If spurs lose this how many do they lose by game 6? I say the soft fucks get rolled by 25+

[davidbowie]

check in now: who thinks the spurs are coming back. cmon let me hear yat...who still believes...show yourselves!!!!!!

[spurspokesman]

jax having a flashback from the dallas series. Lets hope he gets stuck there.

[timvp]

One miracle.

One time.

Believe.

[polandprzem]

Spurs ofense?

Where is it?



I'm all disappointed


Harden drived in and Spurs waiting for like 10secs to take the ball. Time was running out

[Two10Whitey]

Duncan isn't getting a bunch of rest like he was in the regular season. He's finally tired.

[ginobili fan]

Please be with us the Bball gods

[DatBoyGood]

reminds me of game 6 vs memphis

[Brazil]

we cannot blame TP and Manu effort they are giving everything they have. Tim has been MIA the last 3 games.

[icango]

lets go spurs

[DPG21920]

Get a stop out of this timeout and a score. Put pressure on these guys one more time.

[cd98]

Can't outscored Durrant in fourth.

[spurspokesman]

I'm praying. And I don't believe in any kind of god.
Jesus:toast

[100%duncan]

If spurs lose this how many do they lose by game 6? I say the soft fucks get rolled by 25+

Fuck you.

[ginobili fan]

When miracle happens.

[NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER]

Attack attack attack

[GrandeDavid]

Tim too slow.

Tim flat out exhausted with no backup.

[DAF86]

Double Durant.

[Fireball]

Why does Duncan keep looking so God damn slow

Holy crap

because its a fucking day-to-day schedule ... in the regular season you can cover that up by playing him under 30 minutes ... but now it shows his body is the same as the last years

[Texas_Ranger]

yea Tim is tired... How the fuck are those Celtics old timers not tired and they are playing 40 minutes....

[AidanNelson2009]

check in now: who thinks the spurs are coming back. cmon let me hear yat...who still believes...show yourselves!!!!!!

Nope. Thunder have responded all night and will do it again if we make a late charge. Even if we somehow hit the lead, the Thunder will go on a 9-0 run.

[spurspokesman]

one more push

[MannyIsGod]

I think the Spurs are capable of getting the points, but I'm not sure if they're capable of getting the stops.

[100%duncan]

we cannot blame TP and Manu effort they are giving everything they have. Tim has been MIA the last 3 games.

TP has been shitting the bed all game long.

[ALVAREZ6]

Why does Duncan keep looking so God damn slow

Holy crap

He's been such a defeatist bitch tbh... after that last OKC score, he took his dandy old time to go walk over, bend his old ass over, and inbound the ball. Didn't look like he even wanted to continue playing, can't stand seeing him playing like this.

[cd98]

We need Steve Kerr in the fourth.

[DPG21920]

Fucking kidding me, Durant

[100%duncan]

Are you kidding me durant?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Durant just cannot be stopped. He basically tried to miss that shot and still scored.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one

[DPG21920]

Come on Tim, finish this play.

[icango]

lets go duncan

[CGD]

Thunder in 6.

Heat = 2012 NBA Champions

You're kidding. Okc will destroy them.

[team-work]

Go Spurs go!!!!

[ballhog]

Timmmyyyyyyyyyy

[DPG21920]

Stop. Score. Stop

[$pursDynasty]

Timmy scores when Guards are on him, I wish Tiago could

[Bulwark]

Stop please

[Quiet Strength]

Gotta get stops spurs!! Come on!!

[icango]

[DatBoyGood]

these refs are a joke.

[007nites]

c'mon Timmy we need more

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[Crookshanks]

We need Steve Kerr in the fourth.

Too bad he's in a suit and tie at the announcer's table!

[spursparker9]

Durant will be the no.1 scorer over Jabbar

[Kyle Orton]

:lmao great flop manu

[Bulwark]

of course

[Fireball]

Durant is unconcious ... how did he make that shot

[Kyle Orton]

This spurs d is terrible

[Quiet Strength]

Will the spurs learn not to leave them open

[DPG21920]

Ibaka, they aren't missing. The defensive strategy is beaten.

[cheney212]

FUCK IBAKA wtf

[100%duncan]

Goaltend? Wow.

[Horry Hipcheck]

And that is ball game.

[DPG21920]

Wow.

[Bulwark]

and 1, dagger

[Technique]

Lol.

[Kyle Orton]

Iblocka!

4 point play!

[DatBoyGood]

well. that couldve been the dagger. fuck this game.

[100%duncan]

Season.

[Quiet Strength]

Wow that should be it for this game. Pathetic defense once again.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

game........

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs just killing themselves. I still say Spurs win in 7. Count on it.

[cd98]

Game over.

[Mal]

well, shit

[Brazil]

stupid foul
okc cannot miss
hats off

[Horse]

So how many fucking goaltends is that?

[ballhog]

Fucking Ginobili gets knocked into stands---break on other end.

[Richie]

Game. Good try.

[AidanNelson2009]

Wow... Thunder are the real deal, so fucking good it's unreal.

Thunder = NBA Champions

[ploto]

You know, OKC was in the WCF last year.

[timtonymanu]

Oh well ....

[spursparker9]

Season ended.

[urunobili]

Goaltend!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs is being dominated and it's not even close

[Fireball]

game over

[JohnnySixString]

lol...Spurs....defense....where is it?......:lol

[Uriel]

Referees suck.

[DPG21920]

Who could have predicted that OKC would magically morph into something they have never been at any time this season.

[Quiet Strength]

lol parker

[loveforthegame]

Wow. :depressed

Hopefully the Spurs have learned you can't shit the bed and expect to win.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony the Joke

[Juggity]

How did the spurs manage to fuck this up so bad?

[Rummpd]

I am not believing this melt done...

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck these refs. Another GT that leads to a fucking 4 point play.

[Horry Hipcheck]

That's it. 3-2 to OKC.

[spyder]

Lol spurs

[EVAY]

I may have been wrong about winning this game, but I do want to point out that every time the Thunder has gone on a run it has happened when Tony sat down.

Check it out if you don't believe me.

[Mal]

Rest time

[Brazil]

Jax !!

[DPG21920]

jax showing up, glad for the trade.

[JohnnySixString]

Who could have predicted that OKC would magically morph into something they have never been at any time this season.

Or that the Spurs would dissolve into such a pile of shit so quick. lol

[~Sweetmelody~]

Defense!

[cd98]

Thunder shooting out of his mind.

[100%duncan]

I'm proud of you Manu and Jax. Great effort.

[icango]

sputs getting punch in the mouth and not punching back

[loveforthegame]

Fools gold.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs still fighting.

[Brazil]

good pass tp

[Rummpd]

Spurs will not quit.

[Quiet Strength]

Yay duncan dunked it. Not soft that time.

[Thunderlane]

Haha blaming the refs. If that makes you feel better.

[DPG21920]

Let's go Spurs. There is a stop. Get a damn bucket.

[Bulwark]

Finally a stop

[$pursDynasty]

I am praying for and believing for a win

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!

[Josepatches_]

I really hate the Thunders and their refs

[Mal]

Westbrook is plain stupid

[MannyIsGod]

6 point fucking game on the back of Tim Duncan. LETS GO.

[100%duncan]

C'mon Spurs.

[Technique]

The fuck is going on...

[timtonymanu]

We can still win it. Come on, Spurs.

[Brazil]

Tim going now.. too bad it's too late

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I'm just going to try and harness how I felt when we aquired Jackson and got rid of RJ. That was awesome :tu

[DatBoyGood]

letsgo. cmon spurs make me eat my own words

[Rummpd]

Fing Spurs will not quit!

[spurspokesman]

cmon spurs. Dig deep

[Horry Hipcheck]

At least they're not giving up. It's still going to take a miracle to survive this.

[Bulwark]

Brooks time out. Call a play for Durant. Need to stop

[ballhog]

Down to 6 . Sweating.

[Texas_Ranger]

stop them!!!!!

[boutons_deux]

SJAX has to play KD close to deny him the ball.

[DPG21920]

Proud of the guys. OKC is playing incredible and they are still fighting. This game is manageable. Make a push.

[TDfan2007]

The Spurs just keep fighting. Timmy coming alive here in the 4th, but it just...doesn't feel right.

[cheney212]

duncan shows up with 3 min left, where the fuck were u the rest of the game damnit

[loveforthegame]

OKC will just destroy us out of the TO.

[baseline bum]

Westbrook has to be maddening to watch for Thunder fans. I'm fine with him keeping the ball out of Durant's hands the rest of the game though.

[100%duncan]

Stop. Convert. Stop. Convert. C'mon Spurs!

[Horse]

Whoever said we have no heart FUCK YOU! We're playing a damn good team and 3 one-sided zebras.

[Rummpd]

One big stop and a three on the other side and then it gets interesting!

[DJ Mbenga]

Westbrook is playing fantastic defense for the spurs

[Fireball]

at least they not give up ... but OKC likely responds

[phxspurfan]

Thunder do better with Fisher at PG TBH

[timtonymanu]

Keep getting stops. Keep scoring. Let's fucking go!!!

[cd98]

Thank you Spurs for making it interesting.

[Richie]

Is that the first time duncans beaten perk on the low block?

2 possession game. Anyone but Durant right now

[ffadicted]

lol typical, trying when it's too late and there's no pressure/nothing to lose is too easy

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Bout to have a heart attack

[Libri]

striking distance

Go Spurs Go!!

[DAF86]

Please double Durant.

[ploto]

Westbrook has to be maddening to watch for Thunder fans. I'm fine with him keeping the ball out of Durant's hands the rest of the game though.

He ignites the Spurs runs!

[TDomination]

This play coming out of the timeout is HUGE.

WE NEED A STOP

[ginobili fan]

Damn it... it should have been a one possesion game at worst...
we made lot of mistakes we can only blame ourselves on this game...

[Kyl3]

Really need a stop more than anything else right now. Preferably 2 or 3.

[HarlemHeat37]

Just don't let Durant catch the ball, tbh, or double him quickly..

Live with anybody else beating you..Durant isn't going to miss, tbh..

[sammy]

Whoever said we have no heart FUCK YOU! We're playing a damn good team and 3 one-sided zebras.

You are so right! Spurs playing against 8! Fuck these asshole refs!:bang

[boutons_deux]

gotta deny KD the ball, play hands up, nose in his belly button

[Darius Bieber]

Win or lose, Manu & Jax deserve a freaking full ride to Harvard from Timvp's grades.

[timtonymanu]

lol typical, trying when it's too late and there's no pressure/nothing to lose is too easy

Except we're fighting with 3 and a half minutes left instead of 57 seconds left.

[Brazil]

I'm also proud of the spurs.
They are fighting and are letting everything they have.

[DPG21920]

Fuck it - homer fan style:

Go SPURS - F THESE B*tches - Going to show who the mothafunking champs are right here!!!!!!!!

[DatBoyGood]

notice how westbrook took all those shots during that run...just watch durant come back to take over.

[DBMethos]

Thunder always have an answer...maybe just one time, they don't? Please?

[Silverheart80]

Back to 6 points down.

Believe.

Let's get this thing.

[MannyIsGod]

Seriously, I'm straight up fucking tired of Ibaka's goaltends not being called. This game is too fucking close for that shit to fly. Especially when it turns into transition points for the Thunder. James Harden's 4 point play does not happen if that GT on the Manu layup is called. Thats a six point swing in a 6 point game in a pivotal game.

That shit is fucking inexcuseable.

[phxspurfan]

This is gonna take a miracle shot

[JohnnySixString]

It really sucks hoping the Spurs can play some D to win

[DPG21920]

Get a stop. Just one at a time.

[Ice009]

Plenty of time.

Come on y'all!

[Brazil]

just don't let durant catch the ball, tbh, or double him quickly..

Live with anybody else beating you..durant isn't going to miss, tbh..

+1

[icango]

gimme a rebound, lets go spurs

[DPG21920]

Manu time?

[cd98]

Play run for best closer in game.

[CGD]

You gotta double Durant. Dont get why pop hasn't enticed Westbrook to shoot more tbh.

[Kyl3]

Yes!

[Horry Hipcheck]

I'll fucking take it.

[Quiet Strength]

Offensive foul! Come on spurs!!

[100%duncan]

Yes

[noles1983]

Here is when I wish we had a defense

[ploto]

Bs flop.

[Brazil]

good parker !!! come one dude

[MannyIsGod]

Parker has played very tough D in this 2nd half. I'm proud of him.

[Kyle Orton]

Parker flopping like a bitch

What a classy franchise

[Mal]

:lmao on saying Westbrook is part of any big 3

[DPG21920]

Oh, Manu, no......damn.

[100%duncan]

Fuck!

[spursfanincolorado]

Back to 6 points down.

Believe.

Let's get this thing.

4 point play fucked us

[Horry Hipcheck]

I'm going to have a heart attack.

[phxspurfan]

2003 Manu would have jammed that home :*(

[DPG21920]

Wasn't a flop - he got hit. Just not a foul.

[noles1983]

Lol parker only thing he's done good is flop

[icango]

thank you tim.....now give me another rebound

[Quiet Strength]

Clutch timmy

[Brazil]

Bs flop.

no flop
westbrick didnt make it intentionally but thats a foul

[100%duncan]

STop stop.

[Crookshanks]

Seriously, I'm straight up fucking tired of Ibaka's goaltends not being called. This game is too fucking close for that shit to fly. Especially when it turns into transition points for the Thunder. James Harden's 4 point play does not happen if that GT on the Manu layup is called. Thats a six point swing in a 6 point game in a pivotal game.

That shit is fucking inexcuseable.

Yeah, that's what, at least 3 goaltends for him? But yet the refs were quick to call basket interference on Tiago. This OKC team is playing with so much confidence because they've been given a break by the refs all season. So they know they'll get the calls when they really need them.

[Quiet Strength]

Damn parker calm down

[DPG21920]

Tony going rape mode on defense :lol

[Uriel]

Westbrook is saving our season.

[Rummpd]

Unreal to get it this close, bring it in Spurs.

[Kyl3]

That's just good defense.

[phxspurfan]

Awesome D

[DPG21920]

Lets gokjsadfha;ksdflk;ajsd;lfjlasdjlfjdsal;j

[DatBoyGood]

Lets go parker!!

[Quiet Strength]

Hell yeah. Thanks westbrook

[Uriel]

We can do this.

[100%duncan]

C'mon Spurs!

[Brazil]

tp fighting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on guys !!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

YES. Tony Parker owning the shit out of Westbrook right now.

[Horry Hipcheck]

ANOTHER TURNOVER. Where was this defense all game, TP??

[spursfanincolorado]

Over and back!!!! Fuck yeah

[cheney212]

parker fuck yeah

[Quiet Strength]

Sj has got to shoot that

[Kyl3]

damn

[100%duncan]

Shoot that Jax. Damn it.

[Technique]

Wide open lane make that shot jackson...

[DPG21920]

Attack, Manu. Sink them.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Cut it to two. Please Ginobili.

[icango]

to the rim dammit

[Rummpd]

Friggin Manu has BALLS OF STEEL

[100%duncan]

C'mon Guys! Please finish this thing!

[DatBoyGood]

Dam that was a scary possession.

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs playing desperate now. They should play this hard all damn game.

[MannyIsGod]

GTFO Perkins.

[phxspurfan]

Damn...1st foul out

[Uriel]

I need some heart medication.

[spursparker9]

Manu is driving hard. good things happen !!!
