Game Thread: Spurs @ Thunder - April 4 @ 8:30 PM CST

[spurtech09]

neal doing his thing

[LakerHater]

Neal takin over....?

[BatManu20]

Everybody not named Tim or Kawhi: 2-17 from the field :lol

Nothing new. Spurs role players disappear against OKC for some reason.

[dbestpro]

Parker just does not look right.

[Salty]

Neal can do that? Why hasn't he been doing that?

[timtonymanu]

I swear to god Reggie Miller is fucking brain damaged. This is a direct quote of what he just said: "Tim Duncan thought he was fouled on the other end by (long pause) Tim Duncan."

Fucking moron :lol

He really kills the mostly solid crew of TNT. He needs to go to ESPN with the other brand of idiots.

[Raven]

lol @ neal carrying the team

[phxspurfan]

Lol no foul

[$pursDynasty]

Per Reggie Miller, Pop said Neil must look to shoot more, :rollinSpursTalk should love that

[noles1983]

sad, spurs are done

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy dunk!

[100%duncan]

When the refs don't call the contact it makes getting into the paint really tough. Just the way the game is.

Well you gotta deal with that especially in the playoffs.

[TheGoldStandard]

Great ole by gary neal

[spurtech09]

wow no foul...the refs are screwing us again

[timtonymanu]

Boris Diaw continues to be my least favorite player of the active rotation. Even behind Neal. :lol

[100%duncan]

When the refs don't call the contact it makes getting into the paint really tough. Just the way the game is.

Well you gotta deal with that especially in the playoffs.

[spurraider21]

Tim gets hacked, OKC layup. seems legit

[loveforthegame]

There you go. Go up STRONG!

[Kool Bob Love]

The GREAT Tim Duncan tbh.

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 333333333

[Cane]

Nba2k shit right there

[LakerHater]

A shooter cant miss twice!!

[NASpurs]

Neal Hero Ball activated.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Strong play by TD & Leonard keeping Spurs in some hope

[Strategic]

That's better

[DPG21920]

:lol Gary Honey badger

[loveforthegame]

Neal heating up.

[100%duncan]

Good job guys. Keep that shit going.

[phxspurfan]

Thunder choking on their ill gotten lead

[$pursDynasty]

it looks like TP is playing decoy

[spurtech09]

well atleast the spurs have caught up.....

[bklynspursfan]

There we go. Keep pounding on that rock

[Dro210]

Duncan's been fouled the last 4 times down the court, lol

[Captivus]

WOW Neal.
Credit when credit is due.

[HarlemHeat37]

Just cut it to 8 at halftime and go from there, tbh..

Let's get some Bonner in the 2nd half(and not due to a blowout:lol)..he can't be any worse than Diaw at the moment..

[timtonymanu]

Neal would be such a likeable player if he had a sense of defensive IQ.

[Cry Havoc]

Even you don't believe that. Quite the difference in winning games (especially when team are trying and fine tuned going into the playoffs..) and a team's health, quality and style of play going into the playoffs. By your logic, since the Spurs have had the best regular season record for a while, they should have been a lock in recent years..

If the Spurs stayed healthy, they would have at least one more title right now. Probably two. Either way, how many titles have the Thunder won based on this sample size? I think when healthy we're the 2nd best team in the league.


And by their very nature, playoffs are NEVER locks, since the sample size for those games are comparatively small. You can't argue for the validity of the breadth of sample size and then use playoffs to prove your point.

[hater]

Gary Neal!!!

Duncan!!!!

bringing us back from the dead

[Brunodf]

Neal made a shot, take him out now before he messes up on the defensive end

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I hope Neal keeps it up, he can fuck the Lakers if we play them.

[Splits]

Neal still in the game?????????????????

He's on fucking fire, 10 in the quarter. Idiot

[Salty]

:lol Neal carrying this dead carcass of a team

[NASpurs]

I wonder how many people here turned off their TVs... :lol

[Two10Whitey]

Kawhi needs the ball more on offense. He needs to keep penetrating since TP isn't up to it yet. And please fix the defensive rotations.

[LakerHater]

down 9 from 20!

[crc21209]

You motherfuckers wanted some fight you say? I think it's safe to say the Spurs are fighting right now!

[DAF86]

I love Gary. Say whatever you want about him but we need our best shooter to be part of the PO rotation, tbh.

[spurtech09]

it looks like TP is playing decoy
Yeah .....I don't think he's 100%

[$pursDynasty]

Duncan's been fouled the last 4 times down the court, lol never doubt the Stern mandate, the Spurs get no calls the Thunder gets all of them

[Raven]

that's why i think neal is important to out team, somehow when everyone can't buy a shot, he can find a way

[Richie]

Neal Hero Ball activated.

Shooter shooting open 3's = hero ball???

[hater]

IMO Duncan's demeanor brought us back.

Dude was cool as never when we were trailing by 23

[boutons_deux]

Spurs down by 3 Fisher 3Gs

[DesignatedT]

If the refs let the players play like this in the post-season then we win last year. No 30 free throws a game bullshit.

[superjames1992]

WOW Neal.
Credit when credit is due.
He had tqo chances at a WIDE OPEN trey. He better hit at least one, tbh.

[Paulie]

Whats a foul

[Strategic]

Spurs need to finish off the first half with an ass kickin' run.

[spurtech09]

yeah ducan is getting fouled

[Brunodf]

He's on fucking fire, 10 in the quarter. Idiot
So what? Gave twice as much on the other end

[NASpurs]

Shooter shooting open 3's = hero ball???

Is it???

[spurraider21]

Yeah .....I don't think he's 100%

After every Neal bashing thread/string of comments I usually just utter "Neal hits big shots" and that's really all I have to say about him.

[phxspurfan]

Lol in that Gatorade commercial, Durant dribbles past Wade and Chalmers, then meets a second Wade at the basket

[AusSpur]

Duncan has been fouled many times shooting down low, yet to be called refs saving them for Durant and Westbrook.

[capek]

I wonder how many people here turned off their TVs... :lol

:lol I was so fucking close after Fisher hit that 4-5 three. Didn't of course, but easily the most I've wanted to turn off a Spurs game all season

[timtonymanu]

It would be nice if Splitter and Diaw can contribute to this game instead of Duncan being the lone big out there doing something.

[DPG21920]

If the Spurs stayed healthy, they would have at least one more title right now. Probably two. Either way, how many titles have the Thunder won based on this sample size? I think when healthy we're the 2nd best team in the league.

:lol You can't cite the regular season as meaningless than cite the Spurs record vs OKC's as evidence to your point. What is your point? Mine is the Spurs are not only fragile physically, but in serious trouble with their level of play heading into the playoffs.

Your point is despite all signs pointing to this being a huge game and them getting steamrolled to start, that there are some really strong silver linings and nothing to worry about?

Does that sound correct? If so, I violently disagree based on the current evidence.

[crc21209]

One of the things you gotta love about Gary Neal is that he has BALLS. He's not scared to let it fly and keep shooting. Yeah his D sucks ass but when his shot is right you can't help but love him...

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs just need to avoid a 6-0 or larger run from OKC that kills momentum..

[Cry Havoc]

The Stern Effect in full force tonight. Lucky to be within 10.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard leading rebounder and assists. Second in scoring.

[spurraider21]

Why is Parker always on Durant :lol

[Brazil]

So no thread yet on tp being in POs form?

[spurtech09]

After every Neal bashing thread/string of comments I usually just utter "Neal hits big shots" and that's really all I have to say about him.
parker ain't 100%

[LakerHater]

gotta keep it outta durants hands!

[bklynspursfan]

Neal again...

[loveforthegame]

Go Neal!

[100%duncan]

Man Neal is takin over. Making up with his D against fish earlier. :lmao

[LakerHater]

Thats a foul????????

[NASpurs]

Neal playing with a hardon

[Strategic]

they call that a foul?

[$pursDynasty]

Neil with It!

[capek]

'nother bullshit thunderef call there :td

[crc21209]

:lol Here we go with the bullshit calls. Where was the foul?

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao that call, tbh..

[dbestpro]

One thing that is real obvious is OKC runs a ton of moving screens and never gets called.

[TheGoldStandard]

Just no more Ole defense Gary

[Kool Bob Love]

So no thread yet on tp being in POs form?


ELNono right about TP.

[superjames1992]

The Hero is playing well this quarter, tbh, and I'm a hater.

[phxspurfan]

Trailing at halftime by about 10 will be good. Any more and it would be difficult to make up the deficit. Any less and the Spurs won't come out swinging as hard.

[TDfan2007]

Neal catching fire. When he scores like this his almost inexcusable D can be forgiven.

[Brazil]

What foul ? :lol

[spurraider21]

Lame foul call tbh. especially after seeing the way TD got hacked a few minutes ago

[DPG21920]

Spurs need score, stop score. Cut it to single digits.

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi being aggressive, I like it

[Kidd K]

lmao what the fuck, Westbrook jumps back into Parker creating all the contact himself then jacks up a shot and gets a whistle, Shaq style

[$pursDynasty]

Wow they didn't want to give us that foul but had to

[100%duncan]

Kawhi's fighting hard. Det kid :hat

[NASpurs]

We got a foul called!??!?!

[loveforthegame]

Keep attacking Leonard.

[spurtech09]

bs fouls starting

[bklynspursfan]

We really need to win this quarter

[HarlemHeat37]

Kawhi looking to drive, all day..make them blow the whistle, tbh, although they probably won't..

[Brazil]

ELNono right about TP.

:rolleyes

[superjames1992]

Neil with It!
If you're going to talk shit, at least spell his name right, tbh...

[spurtech09]

whats up with parker

[wut]

Hate how refs acted like they were getting teeth pulled to call a foul against thunder there on kawhi.

[Cry Havoc]

:lol You can't cite the regular season as meaningless than cite the Spurs record vs OKC's as evidence to your point. What is your point? Mine is the Spurs are not only fragile physically, but in serious trouble with their level of play heading into the playoffs.

Um. Sample size was YOUR point, pal. I was just using it against you since it's right there for the taking, ESPECIALLY considering we've been injured all year and still have a better record.


Your point is despite all signs pointing to this being a huge game and them getting steamrolled to start, that there are some really strong silver linings and nothing to worry about?

What the hell? When did I say there's nothing to worry about? When is there EVER nothing to worry about for an NBA team. I bet Miami fans are worried right now.

However, this kneejerk reactionary bullshit based on a SINGLE REGULAR SEASON GAME is just absolutely fucking absurd.

[AusSpur]

Westbrook 2 for 1 coming up

[spurtech09]

wow this refs suck

[spurraider21]

both teams rushed shots to get a 2 for 1 :lmao

[$pursDynasty]

it was a late whistle, I think the ref burped inadvertent whistle

[Spursfanfromafar]

Thanks, WestChuck.. Keep at it.

[NASpurs]

KAWHI!!!!!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi all over the place

[loveforthegame]

Leonard beasting.

[Kool Bob Love]

Wowowowowoowowowowoowowoow kawhi

[Cry Havoc]

How the fuck does Leonard not get a call when he's getting shoved openly from behind by WB?

[Raven]

amazing leonard

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi, you are a man amongst boys out there.

[RD2191]

TRADE EVERYONE CEPT FOR KAWHI AND TIM

[Brazil]

Leonard doin work with good enough of shitbgtfo my way

[Strategic]

Nice finish for the good guys

[phxspurfan]

Kawhi is slow but crafty like a 6'8" Andre Miller

[ffadicted]

Holy shit this kid is off the charts, I love kawhi

[TDomination]

i think duncan and kawhi need to play the rest of the game for us to win :(

[Brunodf]

Duncan is fouled every time and the refs won't call

[NASpurs]

You can tell Pop told Whywhy to be more aggressive.

[Spurs Brazil]

Well, not bad after that terrible end of the 1st, start of the 2nd

[spurtech09]

parker hurting?

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi and Westbrook with a nice run there for us in the last minute. :tu

[Raven]

-8 at the half, good answer after being -20

[Spursnlego]

I'll take it considering...

[hater]

Kawhi Neal came to play

even if we lose this is a great sign

[$pursDynasty]

SuperJ it ain't shit talkin, just giving Gary some love since he doesn't get much on the board lately

[Strategic]

Leonard and Neal carried the Spurs back in it.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Great end to a poorly started quarter.

Man, I am proud to be a Spur fan even more with this precocious kid, Kawhi playing for them.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kawhi muthafuckin Leonard keeping the Spurs in the game, tbh..

Avoid any 6-0, 8-0, 12-2, etc runs in the 2nd half and the Spurs will remain close until the refs inevitably take over, tbh..

[TheGoldStandard]

That bench will fuck us up if we let it, gotta stay aggressive.

[spurraider21]

Kawhi is slow but crafty like a 6'8" Andre Miller

interesting take. i can sort of see it, but Kawhi's athleticism is one of his key characteristics. those hammer dunks aren't a result of being "wily" lol

[Uriel]

Spurs clearly the better team. If OKC hadn't gone on that fluky stretch where they hit a bunch of jumpers, they'd be down double digits by now.

[Kidd K]

Duncan getting no love from the refs tonight. Looked like he got fouled at least 4 times while shooting in the 2nd quarter and didn't get a whistle even once.

[LakerHater]

http://www.nba.com/tntovertime/?ls=eref:nbagncc

[phxspurfan]

If the Thunders just got the ball to KD every time up they'd be unbeatable

[spurtech09]

only if parker can start playing

[Strategic]

TP looks like he's not feeling up to par tonight. too bad.

[Brunodf]

TD/Kawhi playing 2 vs 8 basketball tbh

[bklynspursfan]

only if parker can start playing

This... We need him to get going.

[Drachen]

Wish I was watching. Holy shit det stat line!
K. Leonard 13 Pts, 8 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl

[Two10Whitey]

Kawhi needs to take this shit over. Attack, shoot, and gain confidence. Hopefully Neal keeps hitting his shots too.

[Beaverfuzz]

Got them right where Pop wants them. Just don't leave anyone open for a three.

[NASpurs]

Does anyone know how to turn this "Thread automatically updated every 15 seconds" bs off? It's driving me mad.

I'm old school, I like to constantly refresh.

[phxspurfan]

interesting take. i can sort of see it, but Kawhi's athleticism is one of his key characteristics. those hammer dunks aren't a result of being "wily" lol

Yeah I thought about the dunks after I posted that. So maybe he's a little more than a 6'8" Andre Miller :p

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs clearly the better team. If OKC hadn't gone on that fluky stretch where they hit a bunch of jumpers, they'd be down double digits by now.

If the officiating calls were even and they hadn't hit fluky shots they'd be down 20.

[crc21209]

TD and Pop need to sit and have a talk with Kawhi and tell him that he needs to do this every night...

[Chinook]

The bench is the biggest concern. It was hard watching them play for that stretch. Hopefully, Neal stays hot, which should open up Splitter and Green.

[timtonymanu]

Like I said, it helps to have a completely healthy team. The Thunder haven't had any injury setbacks all year while the Spurs have.

[$pursDynasty]

something is off with TP and it aint Sefolousha

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Parker should pick it up this second half. Can't tell if he's coasting or still recovering.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is snatching up rebounds, attacking, setting up mates, and playing defense. Stud. Duncan, Green, and Neal helping too.

[DPG21920]

Um. Sample size was YOUR point, pal. I was just using it against you since it's right there for the taking, ESPECIALLY considering we've been injured all year and still have a better record.

That doesn't make any sense. Playoffs are all that matters. Spurs getting beat by an 8th seed, swept by the Suns, then dismissed by OKC is a result of many a regular season analysis. Your point that "regular season doesn't matter" is silly, especially in context. Spurs have many issues that are visible in the regular season even though an individual game might not always say much.




What the hell? When did I say there's nothing to worry about? When is there EVER nothing to worry about for an NBA team. I bet Miami fans are worried right now.

However, this kneejerk reactionary bullshit based on a SINGLE REGULAR SEASON GAME is just absolutely fucking absurd.

I said Spur fan reaching for silver linings is funny and you took offense. There is always a silver lining for even the worst teams - makes no sense to act like it is something to bank on. :lol No one in MIA is worried. That's silly. This is not a knee-jerk reaction at all. Read my posts (and even guys like Timvp) that have been speaking about the signs for a while. No one is saying they are done, but there is more than enough reasons to be alarmed like I listed. This is more than your typical regular season game and saying otherwise is just being flat out intellectually dishonest even if it ends up meaning nothing in the long run.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Woah Timmy actually got a piece of the ball on that Durant dunk, just didn't hit it hard enough

[NASpurs]

Can you imagine where this game would be if someone guarded Fisher?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs shot 39%, way under their avg, and are still in the game.

OKC's defense isn't at all shabby, coupled with Spurs bricking, Spurs fighting to stay in the game.

[100%duncan]

If I were Pop I'd play Bonner over Diaw. Diaw has gone from Bad to Worse really.

[spurtech09]

Duncan getting no love from the refs tonight. Looked like he got fouled at least 4 times while shooting in the 2nd quarter and didn't get a whistle even once.play offs all over again

[Strategic]

Damn "Maverick" fisher the difference in the game. bastard

[timvp]

Outside of Fisher going fnuts, not bad. Not bad at all. It's going to be really difficult to win this but it's at least imaginable at this point.

And, damn, Leonard's growth continues to astound.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Kawhi Pippen Leonard

[SpurSwag]

TP's burst clearly isn't there yet, you can notice whenever a big is switched onto him instead of exploiting it, he passes it to the big with the smaller guy on him. Not that that's the wrong basketball play, but it's not what he normally does. He's still recovering, but he'll be fine for the playoffs. And if we play the lakers tony running at 50% would still blow by everyone :lol

[Kool Bob Love]

Does anyone know how to turn this "Thread automatically updated every 15 seconds" bs off? It's driving me mad.

I'm old school, I like to constantly refresh.

Neal with it phaggot.

[Gagnrath]

I agree with some home cooking for the thunder but thats to be expected. Why on earth wasn't the second unit running pick and rolls like mad with neal and splitter? Diaw was trying to facilitate on the second unit and take shots but seems a little cold tonight. I'm not sure who was supposed to be guarding Fisher but why leave him wide open?

[DPG21920]

Leonard is a stud. Just hope that knee holds up and he plays 40 mins a night in the playoffs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim was rushing his shots in the 2nd quarter, he needs to be patient like he was in the 1st, tbh..don't let the refs affect you..

Spurs obviously need Parker to wake up and play like a star, along with either Neal/Green being hot in the 2nd half..it would also help if one of Splitter/Diaw/De Colo/Bonner contributes at all..

[timtonymanu]

If I were Pop I'd play Bonner over Diaw. Diaw has gone from Bad to Worse really.

Typical Boris Diaw. His fatass is too lazy to ever contribute consistently. I hate bringing down players on our team but I also hate players who don't give effort.

[Pop]

The run came with Green out and Neal who can drive in the paint in.

Secondary playmaker ftw.

[$pursDynasty]

If I were Pop I'd play Bonner over Diaw. Diaw has gone from Bad to Worse really.
I don't get the Diaw either, he plays like he is trying to get the record for assists because he doesn't shoot, nor does he rebound or defend, I'd put Blair in if not Bonner

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Careful Timvp you don't want to be one of dem unrealistic silver lining fans.

[DPG21920]

If any silver lining is good to me, it's Neal. Spurs need Neal to win like it or not. He is a big time playoff X factor and if he is getting healthy and in rhythm that bodes very well as he is a guy who can win you a playoff game or two.

[MI21]

Spurs need to withstand the inevitable 3rd quarter opening spurt from OKC.

If they can last those 6 minutes, it should be a pretty close finish. I'm not super confident though.

[NASpurs]

Neal with it phaggot.

Your Neal rapedPERIOD.

[DesertSpur50]

Shaq giving Timmy major props!

[Raven]

what i don't like about leonards improvement, is that it involves a lot of dribbling and attacking the rim that doesn't involve a lot of ball movement.

Man, Fisher can kiss my ass. Seriously, is there a bigger coat tailer in the NBA? Put me in the fucking game, I won't leave his ass open just to drift to the paint area and act like I'm doing something (ala Neal)...

[timvp]

If Parker wakes up and the bench doesn't get curbstomped, this can be close down the stretch. It'd still be difficult to win because of the FTAs but I'll take the puncher's chance.

well last year he was passing more and so was timmy, i am fairly confident in saying that they are slowing down the offense a bit comparing to last year.

To elaborate, I don't think the Spurs are contenders right now, but if they aren't, then no one else is besides Miami. We're probably the only team that can give them a run over 7 games. Of course I'm worried. Manu isn't 100% and we don't have nearly the cohesion that we did last year.

But again, those things have a habit of fixing themselves. I think if we're healthy, we're the best team in the West and probably stand the best chance to make the Finals. That's all I can ask of a team that was supposed to be too old to compete back in 2009.

If Parker wakes up

Good luck with that, timvpimp.

[twincam]

He looked pissed after he hit his last shot. He was upset the time before he didn't get the foul call where he got hit in the head.

I noticed that too. He gets a rebound and immediately starts to run down court. The man can dribble and score almost at will.
He needs to become a primary scorer. We need his energy.

[100%duncan]

well last year he was passing more and so was timmy, i am fairly confident in saying that they are slowing down the offense a bit comparing to last year.

He's better this year than last year.

Parker playing like shit, once again, against an elite team.

I just started watching the game. Is he playing bad because they're defending him well or is he just playing bad?

[TE]

Parker is clearly not 100%. That has some to do with not playing up to par the last few games (Including this one)

A mix of both. Though he isn't as aggressive as he usually is.

Hoping for more than that. It might help the west if someone from the east gives the heat a series and they have a 3-1 advantage over them this season.

Just playing bad. He said if someone here was right, he's hurt. Westchuck's been guarding him.

To elaborate, I don't think the Spurs are contenders right now, but if they aren't, then no one else is besides Miami. We're probably the only team that can give them a run over 7 games. Of course I'm worried. Manu isn't 100% and we don't have nearly the cohesion that we did last year.

But again, those things have a habit of fixing themselves. I think if we're healthy, we're the best team in the West and probably stand the best chance to make the Finals. That's all I can ask of a team that was supposed to be too old to compete back in 2009.

I don't disagree with that overall with the exception of the Spurs not being healthy and playing well. I don't know with everything going on that they will fix themselves and I am not confident of that. Could it happen? Absolutely, but right now, Spurs don't appear to be able to beat OKC but that could change rapidly (which I do hope for).

[TheyCallMePro]

Leonard and Duncan are playing great. Tony Parker is a no show. Our bench is MIA. And our defense is horrendous.

Parker hasn't been right since he got back from the injury. Before that, people would criticize him for hogging the ball. Now he's being criticized for giving the ball up too much. His shot was around 60% before he got hurt; now he is shooting poorly.

Anyone who suggests that he is just lazy or asleep has not been watching him play for much this season, or else has their head up their ass.

[100%duncan]

Here we go again.

[FkLA]
