Game Thread: Spurs vs. Thunder - March 11 @ 7:30 PM CDT

[spursmartyr]

Referees: James Capers, Tony Brown, Josh Tiven (who?)


With Tony gone and the OKCfaggots streaking, Manu needs a 35+ point game tonight for us to win, tbh.


:flag:

Thunderefs: over/under 40 FTA?

[spursmartyr]

Thunderefs: over/under 40 FTA?

Make them a jumpshooting team. If they make every single one like last June, we just yell "cookies" and claim victory regardless.

[Splits]

OKC is going to be exposed. This will be treated as a playoff game by both sides, and Martin is nowhere near the player that Harden was. Oh, and OKC better play better than they did in Boston yesterday if they want a win in SA.

SAS: 117
OKC: 94

Additional Thunder team members: James Capers, Tony Brown, Josh Tiven (who?)

The Boston game was a home game... they lost in Boston earlier on...

If Manu can own the Tin Man, we have a chance, tbh

[spursmartyr]

Fixed.

Hey, it could be worse. Joey is doing the Warriors game tonight.

[silverblk mystix]

R.Barry just said on NBA TV that this game is bigger for OKC due to hc advantage and the fact the spurs are w/o parker...he said okc has to win...

That's why the spurs struggle vs jumpshooting teams. THEY DON'T NEED TO MAKE THEM A JUMPSHOOTING TEAM!!!They are a jumpshooting team, they will shoot jumpers wide open or not

[spursmartyr]

R.Barry just said on NBA TV that this game is bigger for OKC due to hc advantage and the fact the spurs are w/o parker...he said okc has to win...

No, we have to win. We're on our own homb court!

[silverblk mystix]

No, we have to win. We're on our own homb court!

No parker. Spurs have a built in reason/excuse already.

OKC on the other hand will think - we needed this game - they were shorthanded - we still fuckin' lost.

[DPG21920]

The word f*ggot has now made it to Game Day Thread OPs.

[Capster]

Go SPURS!!!! Show OKC whatyagot!!!:flag:

PLEASE HELP.
Sorry, i know this gets asked a lot, but does anyone have a place to watch this online?
I bought league pass but i have a fucking blackout in my area because its using OKC Broadcasting :bang
Would really appreciate some help!

[Dex]

No big post by timvp regarding the importance of this game? timvp

The importance of this game is disarmed by the fact that Tony is out. Per the two "copout" threads, the excuses are there for either team to make to deny that the result will have any implication a potential playoff rematch.

If OKC wins, Spurs are without their best player and don't have anyone to neutralize Chuckbrook.

If Spurs win, OKC let down their guard and didn't bring the proper intensity against a wounded opponent.

As such, the only real bearing this game will have will be on the standing, which could still be significant considering how tight the race has been so far this season.

[MaineSpursFan]

if u couldn't figure it out you don't deserve it

[ace3g]

How many 3s does Ibaka hit tonight?

[spursmartyr]

How many 3s does Ibaka hit tonight?

1, but knowing OKC the odds are the 1 three Ibaka will hit will be the one in the 4th quarter where we need a stop desperately and we've successfully contained their heaviest artillery and somehow fuckin' Ibaka hits a three...

[spursmartyr]

If Spurs win, OKC let down their guard and didn't bring the proper intensity against a wounded opponent. .
No sir, those chucking faggots don't get that excuse twice in the same season against the same team.

[TheSkeptic]

no bonner/diaw ...............................

No! Not Diaw!
This means Blair's going to be playing minutes at the C.
:madrun:madrun:madrun
Bonner too though, so in theory this could be worse.

Here's to hoping Blair has a flashback game and hopefully Baynes can show some more hustle out there tonight. :toast

[Splits]

How many 3s does Fisher hit tonight?

fify. Scurbbiest player on the team, perhaps the league, but always finds a way to shit on us. He could be out there in a bodycast and coma and still find a way to give us a painal.

[ace3g]

No! Not Diaw!

I think he just wants Blair to get most of the minutes tonight, he is PlayBlair, that is his schtick

[Pop]

Don't double Durant and leave Ibaka open maybe, just an idea...

Also play Joseph as many minutes as Chuckbrook.

[superjames1992]

The Thunder(less) are going to get crushed tonight by the superior team.

[DPG21920]

No matter what happens, most Spur fans will say this game doesn't matter.......unless the Spurs win.

[TheSkeptic]

True. It looks like Baynes is still on the inactive list so I'm guessing that Blair's going to be playing Diaw's minutes and Kawhi/Jax will be the 4th big.

i know it was a complete dick move by TP, calls his character into question and all, but I can't help but laugh at brent barry every time i see him talking about the spurs

Kawhi!!!!

[spurraider21]

dirkbaka

attaboy tiago! should be able to post ibaka. not a great 1 on 1 defender

[TDomination]

cue ibaka

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck everything about Fake Tough.

[TDomination]

tiago says my turn

[RD2191]

SPLITTTAAAAA

[loveforthegame]

Great move by Splitter.

[Cry Havoc]

TIAGO!!! Suck it down Serj.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit we got a call!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?

[TDomination]

TIMMY!

[spurraider21]

If Tim and score on Perk 1 on1 and Tiago can take Ibaka, that bodes well for our playoff matchup

[InRareForm]

Tiago just tried a AI killer crossover move in the middle of the paint lol

[Cry Havoc]

TIMMY D

[Nathan89]

At least Joseph has some size to deal with Westbrook.

[RD2191]

TIMMAAAAY

[Cry Havoc]

Ridiculous shot by KD.

[TDomination]

Timmy feeling it!

[loveforthegame]

Timmy looks great early.

[Cry Havoc]

TIM AGAIN

[RD2191]

TIMMMAAAY

[loveforthegame]

Green. :tu

[TDomination]

wow,green better hit that

[RD2191]

DANNNYYYY

[Cry Havoc]

BAM! Firing on all 5 cylinders early!

[TDomination]

lol at lady screaming in stands

[spurraider21]

westbrick pulling up with 20 on the clock :lol

[RD2191]

BULLSHHIT CALL

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Westbrook be fast.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan: No call.

Refsbrook: Call.

Difference between the teams right now.

[BatManu20]

Lol Danny boy..

[Pop]

Duncan: No call.

Refsbrook: Call.

Difference between the teams right now.

:downspin: No.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good pass by Splitter

[TDomination]

green no :( such a beautiful pass, gotta finish that

[Cry Havoc]

:downspin: No.

You're right, when Duncan gets mauled and doesn't get a call, it sets up an even game.

[loveforthegame]

Rebound!!

[Pop]

Refs made Green miss a layup too?

[TDomination]

really?gonna give up all those offensive rebounds?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Timmy has to grab some boards

[RD2191]

FUKIN BULLSHIT

[Salty]

:lmao rebounds

[TDomination]

oh mama, joseph!

[loveforthegame]

Joseph!!

[Richie]

4 offensive rebounds already. ffs.

[Chinook]

Green with the giveth-taketh neutrals.

[Strategic]

Joseph going at serge

[RD2191]

HOW THE FUK WAS THAT A FOUL?

[Cry Havoc]

Refs made Green miss a layup too?

Teams miss layups all the time. It happens. The Spurs should not have to play a perfect game to win.

JOSEPH!!!!!!!!

[Pop]

Our frontline taking it up the ass like vs Portland, very worrying.

[benfti]

Im late to the party, why is Diaw inactive?

[BatManu20]

Danny Green has no idea how to play man defense tbh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Green pushed up way too close to him, there's only 3 seconds on the shot clock , let him take a contested 3

[Reck]

Man, Green can suck a dick.

Useless son of a bitch.

[Cry Havoc]

Im late to the party, why is Diaw inactive?

Stomachache - too many donuts.

[Chinook]

Green pushed up way too close to him, there's only 3 seconds on the shot clock , let him take a contested 3

He tried that with Mo Williams.

[Strategic]

If green really is a decent defender, thabo shouldn't do shit on that play

[thunderup]

So far a shaky start but I'll take it.

[RD2191]

shit calls already ruining my night

[TDomination]

im liking joseph, has played solid so far. not looking timid or overwhelmed

[Nathan89]

Green can't even guard Thabo.:depressed

[Cry Havoc]

im liking joseph, has played solid so far. not looking timid or overwhelmed

Yep. Great sign.

[loveforthegame]

Want to see Leonard attack and not just settle for those 3 point shots.

[Richie]

If green really is a decent defender, thabo shouldn't do shit on that play

He clearly thought he had help defence. Get Thabo to do anything other than shoot 3s and he's a liability of offence.

[hater]

chimp is 0-4 and OKC is leading :lol

we fucked

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

He tried that with Mo Williams.
There's a difference between someone walking into a 3 and taking a contested 3 from the corner with a defender a foot away from you.

[Russ]

Green can't even guard Thabo.:depressed

Had him cornered (literally) in the corner. But Thabo blew past . . .

[boutons_deux]

Spurs rb 2 vs 7

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs need to get those boards

[Pop]

Spurs rb 2 vs 7

Exactly like vs Portland.

[Russ]

Spurs getting killed on the boards -- O & D.

[EVAY]

We are already getting creamed on the boards. If Timmy and Splitter can't get us some rebounds we got no shot. They already have about 8 and we have about 2.

[BatManu20]

Tony looking slick in the black on black suit. Good man.

[TDomination]

man durant shot is so pure

[ace3g]

early minutes for Neal...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What the fuck was that pass

[benfti]

is Baynes suited up?

[Strategic]

Manu fed the monkey ball

[hater]

:lmao Manu what a piece of shit

[Splits]

Perkins moving screen on that 3, jeezus

[ElNono]

turnobili

[spurraider21]

that awkward moment when Diaw checks in after everybody said he's inactive

thunderefs per par

[Cry Havoc]

Get you some, Timmeh.

[BatManu20]

2 fouls on Timmy. If he sits that's game lol

[ElNono]

the fouls are disgusting... how do you guard these guys??

[RD2191]

that awkward moment when Diaw checks in after everybody said he's inactive
lmao

[loveforthegame]

BS fouls. Good grief.

[DatBoyGood]

Already have 5 fouls while they have 1...lol

[TDomination]

now its either,
a)okc scores
b) we foul
c) we make them miss and then they rebound and then score

[Floyd Pacquiao]

wow 5 on 8 already

[ace3g]

no body thought Diaw was inactive, lol, that was all PlayBlair

[bklynspursfan]

Thought ibaka used his off arm there but whatever

[KaiRMD1]

Not looking good so far, lol. I love the stat about how many free throws Durant & Westbrook have shot all season long

[Pop]

Who has attacked the rim like they do on our side? Yeah no one. The fouls difference is not scandalous.

[Cry Havoc]

OKC on pace to shoot 32 free throws on our floor.

[Cry Havoc]

Who has attacked the rim like they do on our side? Yeah no one.

Duncan? But yeah, 2 guys mauled him for free. Just happened again.

[ElNono]

get a effing rebound shit

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That effort is gonna make us lose by 20 if we're lucky

[EVAY]

Tim is frankly looking bad

[TDomination]

not good

[KaiRMD1]

Free throws isn't what's gonna kill us, it's letting rebounds go like that last one. Everybody just stood there, the fuck? lol

[BatManu20]

Timmy's trying hard but no converting. We're getting killed on the boards.

[loveforthegame]

Embarrassing.

[Reck]

LOL this game looks done. Over beforre the first quarter.

[ElNono]

fucvk manu

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol sucking ass

[Splits]

Timmy fouled again, no call

Pathetic effort on the boards

[ElNono]

neal fucking asleep

[Cry Havoc]

God damn we can't get a roll.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Missing layups, letting offensive rebounds bounce on the ground. This is pathetic.

[spurraider21]

yeah, this is bad

[Monkeyboy14]

This is when we miss tony, how many shots is tim gonna fucking miss??

[loveforthegame]

Not rebounding, rotations suck, missing too many gimmies.

[superjames1992]

GET GARY NEAL OUT OF THERE!!!! :rolleyes

[hater]

"we don't need parker" :lmao :lmao

[DatBoyGood]

Yup. Martin wide open. game.

[EVAY]

Matin is guarding Leonard. Leonard should be going off.

[timtonymanu]

I thought the Spurs were ready for this one?

Looks like another pathetic effort to me.

[Russ]

I fear it may be more than Parker.

[TDomination]

without a distributor and creator like tony, we like so plain on offense

[Reck]

ROFL back to back trashings. Yeah the Spurs are going to be just fine. :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

This team you'd think would come out with some fire and energy. They look absolutely care free on both ends

[Brunodf]

:lolPop. Blazers scored 136 pts. So let's play Neal to fix it

[NASpurs]

:lmao what a fucking joke. Another incoming rape.

[Manu-20]

Wtf this team isn't even out there competing show some dam energy and get cory back in.

[EVAY]

"we don't need parker" :lmao :lmao

exactly!!!!!!

[RD2191]

This is what pop gets, he knows we need baynes

[TDomination]

but having no tony DOES NOT excuse giving up so many offensive rebounds. PATHETIC!

[Nathan89]

Missed about six points right at the basket... can't get defensive rebounds.... can't defend...:(

[Pop]

2:29 left in the first and already a blowout lol.

[ElNono]

Parker would be taking it up the ass too... he can't guard 5 guys on the floor...

[superjames1992]

CIA Pop might be trying to throw this game. Why else would he put Gary Neal in there?

[phxspurfan]

so it is possible to lose the game in the first quarter

[Truckules]

I fear it may be more than Parker.

This team has problems even with Parker. They're just not as obvious.

[Spurs Brazil]

missing layups, bad defense, rebounds, very bad start

[Rob123]

stick a fork in her she's done.

Need to lose for a season and get some youth

[BatManu20]

Poop

[biziofromdowntown]

This will bw REALLY worse that last night

[Chinook]

There's a difference between someone walking into a 3 and taking a contested 3 from the corner with a defender a foot away from you.

Not nearly as big of one as you're trying to assert there is.

[spursparker9]

This OKC team is a lot better than the OKC team when we beat on opening night.

Look like only Miami has the chance to stop OKC.

[Strategic]

Spurs don't have anyone to attack the rim so why would the thunder foul?

[Richie]

Tim, Green and Manu miss layups, no defensive rebounding = 13 point deficit.

[weeks]

pop wants no part of that 1st seed tbh

[noles1983]

embarrassing. you would think they would have gotten their shit together after the last game.

[McGusto55]

Wtf

[RD2191]

dont worry guys, according to some on here, portlands game didn't matter and neither will this one

[spurraider21]

we have 2 rebounds

[InRareForm]

A run needs to happen or this game is over before we know it.

[Richie]

And everyone calling 'game over' already, I hope you turn off the game so nobody in here has to listen to your shitty opinions.

[TDomination]

this is where jackson wakes up and hits some threes or hits someone

[EVAY]

All the posters here who are acting like Cojo is ready right now to replace Parker should bear in mind that he has two fouls already, is not much of a scoring threat, and when he is in the game, the offense has been mostly a set of one-on-one moves. That is not Spurs ball.

[ShoogarBear]

Well, yuck.

[noles1983]

what a shit lineup

[spurtech09]

looks like its pretty much over in the first half......

[Pop]

Baynes would be stuck to the bench even if the thunder started playing volleyball over our rim.

[BatManu20]

Blair! In to save the day

[Brunodf]

Here we go midget ball

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

This OKC team is a lot better than the OKC team when we beat on opening night.

Look like only Miami has the chance to stop OKC.


Lol Miami will curb stomp reflahoma

[hater]

Parker would be taking it up the ass too... he can't guard 5 guys on the floor...

wake up. it's the turnovers and horrible O that is giving OKC all the fast breaks :rolleyes

[Cry Havoc]

Wtf are these rotations?

OMG FREE THROWS

[TDomination]

yay, FT's!

[Strategic]

It's Diaw blair

[TDomination]

this is Game 5 of last year all over again. Random rotations for no reason

[Nathan89]

Some spurs fan somewhere said "see Okc can't beat us" when we were up 10-4. :lmao Just thinking of that.

[ElNono]

wake up. it's the turnovers and horrible O that is giving OKC all the fast breaks :rolleyes

:lol we can't grab a rebound and leaving them open for 3... what game are you watching???

Tony would be passing the lube

[TDomination]

stephen jackson likes playing against okc

[loveforthegame]

Good to see the bench trying to attack.

[phxspurfan]

Blair owns OKC so this may be better

[Pop]

All the posters here who are acting like Cojo is ready right now to replace Parker should bear in mind that he has two fouls already, is not much of a scoring threat, and when he is in the game, the offense has been mostly a set of one-on-one moves. That is not Spurs ball.

He's already a better guard than Green, Cojo is certainly not the problem.

[Cry Havoc]

Jackson drives, gets slapped, no call. Pretty obvious.

[Mayhem321]

Let see if Blair is still the thunder killer...

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, slop from Neal.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Neal got lucky

[TDomination]

horrible shot by neal...ugh but it went in

[spurtech09]

Here we go midget ball
its working

[NASpurs]

Neal meant to bank that...

[RD2191]

LMAO BLAIR

[Cry Havoc]

I'll take it, Neal.

[Nathan89]

WTF the crowd is louder than in the playoffs.

[BatManu20]

Ball off Westbrook

[EVAY]

He's already a better guard than Green, Cojo is certainly not the problem.

Well he is certainly not the answer!!

[TDomination]

thats off refsbrook

[KaiRMD1]

Dejuan Blair is the difference maker, just sayin

[Strategic]

instead of complaining about the foul, get the fucking rebound

[Cry Havoc]

Amazing how the Thunder are struggling to score when they aren't put at the line 15 times per quarter.

[BatManu20]

Man if only Diaw could shoot the 3 consistently...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili's matador defense continues

[phxspurfan]

Manu on Martin = bad news. Manu will play off him and get torched

[TDomination]

i wish they harden instead of martin :( jk

but yeah martin isn't a scrub

[ElNono]

neal on westbrook is suicide

[spurraider21]

boris protecting his shooting percentage :rollin

[Strategic]

are you kiddin, let monkey walk up court and make a lay up

[jag]

Bad news: they're getting blown out
Good news: it looks like they care

[jag]

Bad news: they're getting blown out
Good news: it looks like they care

[RD2191]

pussy ass team tbh, put that bitch on the ground

[loveforthegame]

Lucky to be only down 10.

Bench providing energy at least.

[spurtech09]

atleast spurs are scoring now :(

[Richie]

neal on westbrook is suicide

Agreed. Sadly, Joseph has 2 fouls. Corey looked really good on him early.
