Game blog: Spurs vs Thunder game 6 -OKC on their way to their 1st Finals

[lefty]

Don't believe

By the way, Timvp agreed that I would start the game 6 blog, so someone sticky that shit

This thread is not really about the game itself, but more about what our FO is going to do next summer

The Thunder have kicked our collective asses; I thought we were going to win in 5, but OKC is the better team
They are deeper than I thought, and they are better defensively than I thought

It doesnt help that Pop is being outcoached by a former jumpy cheerleader.

So what to do with Duncan, TP, Green and Neal ?


SHould Pop retire?


Bonus question: can the Miami Heat beat OKC in the NBA Finals ?





Don't believe

[FromWayDowntown]

Since 1990, I count 5 instances in which a team won Games 1-2 at home, lost Games 3-5, and then won Games 6 and 7:


Atlanta did it against Milwaukee in the 2010 ECFR.

Detroit did it against Cleveland in the 2006 ECSF.

Detroit also did it against New Jersey in the 2004 ECSF.

New York did it against Indiana in the 1994 ECF.

Utah did it to Denver in the 1994 WCSF.

It wouldn't be unprecedented to get this done; it feels unlikely, but it is possible.

[lefty]

Woohoo

No Neal

[ducks]

no neal ouch
sj needs to shoot his shots

[ducks]

atleast no neal beens the man neal is guarding will not score

I say start sj for sure now and then bring green and manu off the bench

they are going to need manu to play point when tp takes a rest

Neal just won't catch a different flight?

@JMcDonald_SAEN Tom Orsborn reports @GNeal14 was not on @Spurs OKC flight. Pop told Express-News: "He's not feeling well," says not serious.

Crap. That means no more stupid shots for bricks.

[ace3g]

Have to agree, this series is showing that we need a primary ball handler on the 2nd unit, Neal worked earlier in the playoffs but the OKC defense is too quick for him. We can't have any deficiencies next game. Also Pop has to put our best line ups out there to close out each quarter (one of our biggest weaknesses), Game 4 we almost got the lead down to 10 prior to halftime but couldn't, barely did it for Game 5. Spurs have to have the lead at halftime for them to win game 6. I might even consider Patty over Neal from now on, we need someone to initiate the offense quicker, Neal just isn't doing that.

Also we need to get Duncan involved early, instead of posting him up, use him like you would Splitter. He just hasn't found a rhythm in the post. And if he does play in the post he has to stay away from the hook shots where he releases the ball from hand closest to the defender. Bring back the bank shot as well.

[Budkin]

Why couldn't it be Bonner?

[Durant 35]

One less spurs shooter to maybe hurt us...

[Bruno]

What Thunder have done this year is awfully impressive. First Mavs in 4, then Lakers in 5 and finally Spurs in 6 is an awesome path. Mavs, Lakers and Spurs have won the last 13 years the WC. Thunder have roll over them with only one little scare when they were down 0-2 against Spurs.

Huge congrats to the Thunder. If Bosh came back at 100%, Thunder/Heat will be a heck of a final. Spurs have no reason to be ashamed of their playoffs run. Thunder are just a great great team.

[Brazil]

going to be a great serie

Pop has to do something that he hasn't really shown he is particularly willing to do and that is shorten the rotation.

You can't die wondering and the best players need to see the floor for majority of the game.

Parker
Ginobili
Jackson
Diaw
Duncan

Splitter
Leonard
Neal (only as a 2guard, only for a few mins)

Green, Blair, Bonner only need see the floor in case of emergency.

It's simple. If we get alot from Duncan we'll win. If he's not aggressive, this thing is over.

Parker is what he is. He's not our champion.

This thing started with Duncan, and he's the one who's got to finish it.

^:lmao true.


I'll probably miss the first quarter tomorrow but I'll tune in for the rest of the game. This is it. This is the final stand. Although OKC has looked like a powerful animal, if I was to pick a team to grind out any sort of must-win game, I'd more than would happily chose this Spurs team. They've done this sort of thing of avoiding elimination on the road. At this point, throw any and all the statistics relevant to this series so far. Just play your fucking hearts out, that's it and that's all. If the Spurs lose tomorrow, it's gonna be because the Thunder beat them and not for a lack of playing with passion.

[Spur|n|Austin]

i was lookin at the stars and venus aligned with the sun, my feng shui star readings says spurs got this game in the bag

[bulakenyo]

It's 1:27am, Manila time, and I can't sleep.

Not really because of the NBA playoffs, but it IS on my mind a lot.

I wanna see a kamikaze type performance from every Spur man, from player 1 to player 12. Even the ones who won't get in the game officially.

But Durant's jumpshot this series, honest to God, reminds me of Jordan's fade away jumpers from the '96-'98 three-peat era.

It literally looks as good as in the basket, when you see it released from his hands.

I never saw George Gervin play live, or in his prime, or full 82 games + playoffs (only saw some highlights) but the way KD's playing, must be like how GG looked like, scoring so easily back in the 70's-early 80's.

So easy and smooth and effortless.

It all starts from KD's easy, almost automatic offense. The confidence it brings to his team is huge.

Just like Kareem's skyhook in the showtime era, the Lakers didn't always needed to run all the plays for him, and they can play amazing run and gun basketball, but everytime Showtime was sputtering, couldn't make any outside shots and they were about to shit bricks.. there was always the last resort skyhook play to go to when they really needed a basket.

Skip Bayless ‏@RealSkipBayless

Maybe this time Manu doesn't step on ref's foot before attempting big late shot. Turned ankle before G5's last shot. WHAT WAS REF DOING???

If we put the same type of ball pressure on RW...we'll be able to force them into more things they don't want to do

[Keepin' it real]

Exactly. Spurs will get off to a great start, probably lead by double digits 5 minutes in. Then the shit will hit the fan, over and over and over again.

Seen it too many times in the Duncan/Pop era ... and that was with a vintage Tim and Manu. Now we have old Tim and Manu to go along with mental midgets like Bonner, Green and Blair.

It ain't gonna be pretty.

[FromWayDowntown]

Scary -- since 1998, Spurs are 2-7 in road games when facing elimination: they won Game 6 at Dallas in 2006 and won Game 7 at New Orleans in 2008.

You could say that the Spurs have gotten better over time in this spot; since 2006, the Spurs have faced elimination on the road 4 times and are 2-2 in that spot.

Then again, you could say that the Spurs haven't ever won in that spot without Robert Horry on the roster (or Bruce Bowen . . . or Michael Finley . . . or Brent Barry . . . or Fabricio Oberto . . . . )

[Keepin' it real]

Scary -- since 1998, Spurs are 2-7 in road games when facing elimination: they won Game 6 at Dallas in 2006 and won Game 7 at New Orleans in 2008.

They just lost the previous game at home.

OKC is so proficient at the mid-range game; they are a team that can consistently shoot over 55% mid-range regardless of the situation, opponent or who is taking the shot (Ibaka, Perkins, Collison...). That is why they are the 2012 World Champions.

Since this is the off-season thread. Who should the Spurs get with the 59th pick?

Those Greek prospects look amazing.

[GrandeDavid]

You don't seem to get it. OKC is the most unstoppable force the league has seen since MJ and the Bulls.. This is already over..

The 2001 Lakers would've plowed this OKC team, too!

[Spur|n|Austin]

OKC is unstoppable, let's face it.

[dbreiden83080]

The 2001 Lakers would've plowed this OKC team, too!

Nah Durant is already Better than Kobe ever was...

[Budkin]

Durant with 82 tonight breaking Kobe's record!

[dbreiden83080]

Durant with 82 tonight breaking Kobe's record!

Why stop there? Wilt's record is in reach??

[timvp]

Kevin Durant is a seven-foot version of Michael Jordan.

James Harden is Manu Ginobili + Kimbo Slice X 2

Russell Westbrook is Tony Parker + Derrick Rose

Scott Brooks is the reincarnation of Red Auerbach but better looking

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Fuck OKC.

[phxspurfan]

Oklahoma City is the Big Apple of the Midwest.

[Josepatches_]

The 2001 Lakers would've plowed this OKC team, too!

2000,2001,2002 Lakers. Shaq was really unstoppable. Surely 2003 and 2004 Lakers too.

Obviously Spurs in 2005 or 2003.Every Spurs team with a healthy Duncan until 2007 tbh.

[Dex]

Kevin Durant is a seven-foot version of Michael Jordan.

All that goes without saying...but who would've thought Derek Fisher would get us AGAIN!?! :bang

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

So is Neal not playing. On the Spurs FB post it looks like he was there warming up?

[silverblk mystix]

Unbelievable just how injury-free this OKC team was and tonight was no exception.
I don't think there has ever been any NBA champ that never even suffered a fuckin' scratch--until this OKC team.

Unbelievable and unbeavable.

OKC is unstoppable.

[DPG21920]

OKC is what Tlong sees Portland as.

[Harry Callahan]

They did lose their back up point guard Eric Manor early in the season or in the pre-season to a torn ACL.

[DPG21920]

If Manu was on the Thunder, even Ducks would respect him.

[DPG21920]

OKC is so dominant that when Jeff McDonald writes about them he seems knowledgeable.

[timvp]

They did lose their back up point guard Eric Manor early in the season or in the pre-season to a torn ACL.

But then they were able to upgrade by signing the guy who dragged Kobe Bryant kicking and screaming to five championships.

[DPG21920]

Durant makes Oden look like baby wiener.

[jayc23]

if they lose its because they traded George Hill.. just saying.

[Harry Callahan]

Yeah the Fisher Guy is something else - forcing his way out of two different teams - Utah and Houston.

Too bad he gets rewarded for being a fraud and a cheat.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

30 minutes left. Gotta say, I'm pretty anxious right now.

[Keepin' it real]

Okay, I'll do my part. I'm gonna go watch the game at a bar. The last time I watched a Spurs playoff game at a bar was Game 7 vs. the Hornets in 2008. That was a huge road win, so let's see if my mojo is still in effect.

However, if I can't find a parking spot, I'm gonna go watch The Avengers instead.

[jayc23]

haven't watched a minute of spurs basketball since they traded george hill :P sorry -- mabe i'll watch a minute tonite :P

[MannyIsGod]

Start the GOT DAMN GAME.

[DPG21920]

If Timvp started a thread at ThunderTalk.com, he'd get shit on.

[tesseractive]

However, if I can't find a parking spot, I'm gonna go watch The Avengers instead.

Now that's true dedication, folks. :lol

[Keepin' it real]

Now that's true dedication, folks. :lol

:downspin:

[DPG21920]

if they lose its because they traded George Hill.. just saying.

Jay! Good to see you around. You know we love Hill, but Kawhi is playing phenomenal. It won't be bc Hill was traded the Spurs lost and they've gotten far this year. That's not knocking GH3, he's a stud.

[Rapper]

Would it be the last spurs game in the season???


Not this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

haven't watched a minute of spurs basketball since they traded george hill :P sorry -- mabe i'll watch a minute tonite :P

Understandable. You are still welcome here anyway.

[DatBoyGood]

will be an emotional game..

[Nathan89]

Who's starting?

[timtonymanu]

Who's starting?

Looks like the same lineup from Game 5.

[jayc23]

haha I know :P -- its good to have george back in town with family ... we didnt hang out much when he was in SA ... I was hoping for a Pacer / spur showdown in the finals *sigh* i hope the spurs win and block lebron from a title if he gets that far... I miss the community grats on going this far win or lose.. will be a great season... would be nice to get one more before the curtains close though right.

[~Sweetmelody~]

GO SPURS GO!! Will Green, Neal and Bonner Step up?

[Rapper]

Can anyone tell me will Neal play tonite?

[Nathan89]

Looks like the same lineup from Game 5.

Thanks.

:ihit

[DatBoyGood]

wtf is green doing? lol

[jayc23]

Understandable. You are still welcome here anyway.

I just remember how ticked george was the first time i saw him right after the trade... as we were going to our old 7/11 in our old hood i asked him about if he was happy to be home and he looked like i shot his dog over the trade

[emanueldavidginobili]

[noles1983]

[silverblk mystix]

Signing off. I have to DVR game...finish my shift...run home fast forward through the ads...I won't find out the result until midnight or so...

Pins and fuckin' needles...gotta stay off Spurstalk so as not to ruin it...later guys.

[MannyIsGod]

Mount up - positive energy...

(P.S. I lost the keys to my house and am locked out. So, if the Spurs lose this nice will really suck. Cheer me up Spurs!!)

[baseline bum]

Let's hope OKC has a huge case of the nerves right now.

[Kool Bob Love]

:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::f lag::flag::flag:

[DPG21920]

That crowd is intimidating.

Yet, when they go home to their normal mediocre lives, I'll still get to be me doing what I do.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Spurs are going home tonight


for game 7

GO SPURS GO!!!

[Dex]

Fun's over. Time to take the boys to school.

FTT.

[rasho8]

Traditional... What tradition? You've only had a team for 2 weeks.

[DPG21920]
