You guys ready to face the ThunderRefs?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Kawhi will get three fouls before the first six minutes is over...


that said we win by 25 in OKC

[timtonymanu]

Durant will get his usual 13+ FTs. Be ready.

[Uriel]

I can't believe this game isn't on national TV.

[Skull-1]

We will lose. Pop will go into CIA Mode.

[jestersmash]

We're bound for a loss anyways so it might as well be against the thunderefs.

[spurs10]

The Free ThrOklahoma ThunderRefs are going down!!!

[Holden_Caulfield]

diaw is gonna shit on ibaka

[HI-FI]

I'm prepared for beautiful ball movement and execution to be interrupted by tons of whistles.

[TheGoldStandard]

I'm prepared for beautiful ball movement and execution to be interrupted by tons of whistles.

Phantom calls, offensive fouls when we're swinging the ball around and lots of westbrook running into players with no control going to the line.

[thunderup]

I hope we're ready for yall. We have been playing like crap lately. Good measuring stick of where we're at in this early part of the season.

You're probably going to get us without Tiago. I doubt he plays.

:lol it never gets old.
The OKC System

[TheyCallMePro]

I have to say it is unbelievable how many FT's Durant gets against us. It's like every time he drives they automatically call a foul. I swear, half of his points must come through the free-throw line. Every time I look at his stat sheet it's like: Durant 40 points, (22-24 FT's).

[KaiRMD1]

Same with Harden but against any team, now he is not a 6th man anymore that means more minutes so he puts like 35 points every night shooting 18FT per game, and everyone knows he is a fucking flopper queen

This season Durant is breaking all records, tbh... he already has almost 50 more FTA than Taliban (150 for KD, 106 for Harden)... he's actually only one FTA behind the FTA leader, Dwight freaking Howard, who gets hack-a-dwight on almost every game.

Mind boggling, tbh

[Mugen]

:lol My favorite is when thunderfan justifies KD's ridiculous FTAs as a skill that he's mastered, like nobody in the history of the nba had thought of trying to draw fouls before Duracne tbh

Didnt know that, It seems the only way to keep the Thunder winning, sometimes the NBA officials and all that shit makes me puke, Dwert get the FT because thats the way to punish his ugly face, but Durantulon will make most of those freethrowups

[KaiRMD1]

Erase the free throw attempts or minimize it to a respectable non-ref elp number and how many points a game do the Thunder score?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just watch, fisher's gonna go 6/6 from 3 while ibaka, perkins and collison go a combined 24/26 from the field. Meldowns ensue

shit, you're talking quantum physics, reducing FTs is a major part of their system. That's like asking Pop to eliminate passing and spacing from our team, it's hard to imagine it.

[mute]

fuckin fisher. theres probably not a player i hate more than him. him and shane battier. fuckin bitches

"family issues"
"wants to be with his family"

rofl, give me a fuckin break

If there was one person that I was given the OK to kill, I would choose Derek Fisher, that's how much I hate that man. From using his daughter's "illness" as a reason to go to a team that is a championship contender to the bullshit he pulls on the court.

[spurraider21]

i'm very much looking forward to this game. we've been playing a relatively cupcake schedule and have just been annihilating teams. good to have a challenge right here. a road game against the Thunderefs is as tough as it's going to get in the Western conference

[Trainwreck2100]

gonna be a LLLLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG game. And of course it's not on nat. tv cause people want to see cleveland beg for lebron to come back

[heyheymymy]

just watch, fisher's gonna go 6/6 from 3 while ibaka, perkins and collison go a combined 24/26 from the field. Meldowns ensue

This wouldn't surprise me, but what I'm more worried about is what happened at Portland happening again. Just looking gassed and getting circles run around us.

[TJastal]

I can't believe this game isn't on national TV.

ESPN would rather promote more exciting "ballahs" like Kyrie Irving go one on one all game long and score 33 points with one or two highlight reel plays. They'll trumpet that on the post game video and hide the fact that he went 11-28 and his team will get trounced.

[TampaDude]

What are the odds of our pal Joey reffing the game? :lol

[Skull-1]

I'm prepared for beautiful ball movement and execution to be interrupted by tons of whistles.


That defines WCF 2012 to a T.


Phantom calls, offensive fouls when we're swinging the ball around and lots of westbrook running into players with no control going to the line.

And whacking guys on the head to get a turnover...no calls will be made.


OKC Thunderthroners "fans" epitomize bandwagoning.

[look_at_g_shred]

Never a blowout against OKC. Remember last year when Kawhi had that sick behind the back dunk? That game would've been a blowout, but the last 5 minutes the refs had Durant at the line like 6-7 times no lie. I think we won by like 8 or something.

i remember that. i dont complain much about reffing because it's stupid and childish but that game was outrageous. I remember a ticky-tack foul on Kawhi that had the whole room groaning and Pop shouting "THIS SHIT IS FUCKING RIGGED!!"

Doubt it lol He's probably exaggerating for effect

Well, when Pop gets mad he doesn't have a filter so it wouldn't have surprised me. :lol

[Captivus]

Rest the startes.
I will send $1 of $250.

[jag]

Without Tiago this would make for a perfect "rest the starters" game. Or just play the starters 2 minutes then bench them to avoid fines.

I say keep doing what we are doing.

yeah he actually did, it's faint but if you have headphones cranked up to that moment i swear he says 'THIS SHIT IS FUCKING RIGGED!!"
no exaggeration on my part

[TampaDude]

No Joey tonight. We can beat those fags.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[mudyez]

It not even started yet and we are already complaining?


I'm pretty sure Randy Orton will beat John Cena cleanly!

[ace3g]

is this going to be the game thread?

[wildchild]

is this going to be the game thread?

No. I want ace3g winner thread vs Thunder!

[cd021]

ready, tbh...

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2562821/asiktrain.gif

That is priceless. They even flop in unison. Fisher might have value after all.

[wildchild]

Kawhi ready to face the ThunderRefs?

:sleep :sleep
http://oi41.tinypic.com/ws0ea8.jpg

[cd021]

I would like to see Diaw start and have Perkins "guard" him on the perimeter.

[Kidd K]

I kinda think this is a game we need Timmy to step up in. At least defensively and on the glass, but we're gonna need at least 15-16 out of him on about 50% too.

I don't think it's unwinnable, but any time you face OKC, you have to wonder how the calls are going to be. I seriously would've thought their ref protection would have dropped by now. . .but it's about as bad as it's ever been. Still 2nd in the NBA in FTA/FGA ratio, with only Houston and their hack a Howard topping them.

The only reason this should especially annoy us this year is because our team has been gearing towards being a defensive juggernaut this time. Refs can completely erase your defensive effort with the blow of a whistle. So tonight we're gonna need dat offense to keep up. Let's hope Green and our other snipers can shit on the Thunder tonight from three.

I remember at one point a couple years ago, Jefferson was so tired of being called for fouls for nothing that he literally put his hands behind his head and moved out of the way when Durant made a drive trying to draw fouls, and he threw the ball off the front of the rim like twice in a row.

He isn't even trying to score half the time he goes to the rim, he's just trying to draw whistles that he knows he will get.

[look_at_g_shred]

Same goes with harden. It's like when nothing is falling for the team, you see him just put his head down and heads for the paint. When he feels the contact, he throws his hand up in a shooting motion. Although i will say, Harden looks for the and 1.

You think Harden learned that shit from Durant? That whole OKC trio is dubiously known for flopping for free throws. Durant was there first, so are we crediting him for that bullshit? Or is it just a product of subconscious habit because of being bailed out so much by the refs so their team can get off the ground in OKC?

It's pretty much in their nature. I can hear Scotty on the sidelines telling Westbrook and Durant as he's handed the clipboard, "well you guys looks like I don't need this. KD, Russell you know what to do!" Refs on 3..... 1,2, 3 REFS!!!!!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

DVRing Spurs Live after the game in anticipation of OKC's free throw fest making the game 3 hours long

So true. Thunder are actually one of the least fun teams to watch tbh. I get Fox Sports Oklahoma so I'm able to see all of their games. I shit you not, whenever there is only about a 5 point differential in the fourth quarter, one of either Durant or Westbrook will drive the lane and throw something up. This happens everytime if it is not a fastbreak. It happens even more often if Westbrook can't hit that pull-up J and just says "fuck it, I'm driving and whining".

[TJastal]

:lmao

That is the funniest thing I've ever seen in the nba. Good lord Fisher is a fuckwit. I wonder if he even realizes how much of a twat he is. Fucking dimwitted nba ref with the accentuated fistpump glorifying the stupidity just makes it even more ridiculous.

[r0drig0lac]

just watch, fisher's gonna go 6/6 from 3 while ibaka, perkins and collison go a combined 24/26 from the field. Meldowns ensue
this

[phxspurfan]

I dont mind KD going for 60. I got him on fantasy ;]
If Spurs win and Manu and KD go for 100, that would be just great

[Skull-1]

yeah he actually did, it's faint but if you have headphones cranked up to that moment i swear he says 'THIS SHIT IS FUCKING RIGGED!!"

Too funny!
