The time has come for the Spurs to get a signature win. No Westbrook but Durant has been in beast mode.


Fuck OKC, least likable team in the league.

Beating OKC and Miami in the same week would make for a great day at the office.

:flag::flag:

[RD2191]

Looking for Reggie to drop 25 and 10 tonight. tbh

[Embedded]

We need this win. I know that Spurs only watch film of themselves during regular season, but I hope they have watched some film on Kevin Durant and have a strategy for slowing him down (you can't stop him). We really need this win and the WIN against Miami Sunday.

[timtonymanu]

An elite opponent means we are going to lose again.

I would like to see the Spurs prove me wrong with a win.

[look_at_g_shred]

Can't get nearly as hyped for this game as I usually am, both teams aren't at full strength.

[Robz4000]

Spurs finally get a win over an elite team, but like the Clippers it won't count.

[spurs10]

Go Spurs!! Go Melissa!! Should be a great game! I think we will play hard and get the win! :flag::flag::flag:

[timtonymanu]

Is Tony gonna be available tonight?

[DPG21920]

Great. Amused makes game threads, Spurs get injured. Amused makes "spurs win" prediction thread, Spurs lose. Amused makes spurs prediction/game thread combo? RIP Spurs.

[ace3g]

Great. Amused makes game threads, Spurs get injured. Amused makes "spurs win" prediction thread, Spurs lose. Amused makes spurs prediction/game thread combo? RIP Spurs.

Can't even post a photo of Melissa...

[Strategic]

NO CRYBABIES ALLOWED!!!!!! Spurs got this one.

[Budkin]

I was going to say we were due for a win over a good team but I said that against Portland. I want to see what this team is made of, especially Kawhi on KD.

[Texas_Ranger]

Ibaka and Perkins will go 20/20

[McGusto55]

Pumped. ..will be at game tonight

[PublicOption]

POP WILL LOSE TODAY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO COACH THE ALL-STARS.....................POP'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.

[Mugen]

Spurs by 40 tbh.

[Spur|n|Austin]

POP WILL LOSE TODAY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO COACH THE ALL-STARS.....................POP'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.

He can't coach the all star game, 2 years in a row.....

[hater]

OKC by double digits.

reggie jackson goes for 40pts

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Great. Amused makes game threads, Spurs get injured. Amused makes "spurs win" prediction thread, Spurs lose. Amused makes spurs prediction/game thread combo? RIP Spurs.

Deep down I still think you think I'm A-OK

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I was going to say we were due for a win over a good team but I said that against Portland. I want to see what this team is made of, especially Kawhi on KD.

Great minds think alike :toast

[cd98]

Reggie will break out of his slump against us. Will Durrant be tired after yesterday's game, or does it even matter?

[DPG21920]

Deep down I still think you think I'm A-OK

You know it.

[Obstructed_View]

Really worried about this game, because it's all anyone's going to remember in April and May.

Oh wait, the opposite of that.

[BillMc]

Can't even post a photo of Melissa...

Why no Melissa?

Or at least the "Spurs Win" girl! :toast

[Kyuui-Musikq]

Kawaii needs to go off, big time. He needs to take Sefelosha in the block from the get go

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[weeks]

i'm hoping to see something strong from manu and kawhi tonight. we need 'em both to have a great game.

[Ginobili3]

That vs NBA's best stat makes me sick

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ben6OptCEAAE7yn.jpg:large

[DatBoyGood]

Wasn't there a streak a few years back where Durant had a streak of 25 or 20 point straight games and it ended vs the spurs and spurs won?

[Captivus]

Only 1 thing to do. Stop Ibaka.

[r0drig0lac]

ayers vs ibaka

[timtonymanu]

Contain Jackson and Ibaka. Durant will get his.

[aal04]

So which OKC roleplayer goes HAM tonight?

[$pursDynasty]

Contain Jackson and Ibaka. Durant will get his.

this is the truth

[BatManu20]

Great start

[Darius Bieber]

lol turnover on first possession.

[timtonymanu]

And both score to start the game.

[weeks]

jackson.
then a turnover.

bad start.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[DapDaGenius]

LOL I feel like they don't even respect us. As they shouldn't, b/c we suck.

[Captivus]

Kmon Parker, get past Jackson

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Spurs fucking suck. OKC are on a back-to-back coming off a win against Portland.

[TXstbobcat]

Crappy fucking start!!

[Cry Havoc]

Fucking bullshit no calls already. Kawhi got shouldered and had to throw it away.

[r0drig0lac]

spurs defense is crap

[BatManu20]

That was a foul on Kawhi. Wtf refs

[Juggity]

:lmao game over tbh

[weeks]

"stolen" by jackson.
lmao.

[capek]

awesome start :bang

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard333

[Cry Havoc]

L3333333333333ONARDDDDDDDDDDDD

[loveforthegame]

Leonard 3.

[313]

Kawhiiiii

[timtonymanu]

There we go.

[BatManu20]

LOL Perkins just said "All ball!" after he blatantly hacked Duncan... what a dumbass

[Ginobili3]

Parker looks gassed already. Tim too

[DapDaGenius]

Good shit, Duncan.

[timtonymanu]

Come on Timmy

[Cry Havoc]

I have a lot of respect for Durant's game. But the Thunder are seriously making an effort to be the douchiest non-Laker team since Malone's Jazz. Basically every player on their team plays as shady as possible.

[313]

Cmon kawhi and Duncan needed to switch

[BatManu20]

Come on Kawhi

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck, since when do they call traveling in the NBA

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi getting touches but needs to do somethingm

[.G.]

KL2 with the spin move, not bad...E for effort

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[BatManu20]

This defense...

[Cry Havoc]

Tim.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[RD2191]

What the fuck, since when do they call traveling in the NBA
:lol

[DapDaGenius]

Duncan should take that shot more often.

[313]

Good stuff duncan

[Cry Havoc]

Has a Thunder player *ever* set a legal screen?

[.G.]

:lol that pass from Ayres to TD

[BatManu20]

Lol what a shitty pass by Ayers

[Juggity]

Reggie Jackson, one of those got damn scrubs who comes alive vs. the spurs.

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty ball movement

[RD2191]

:lolKd eating Kawhi alive

[Cry Havoc]

I don't know if I'm going to be able to even watch this game. I've never seen a team get away with so many blatant fouls like OKC. It's fucking despicable.

[BatManu20]

Scrub Ayers

[313]

Durant makes Kawhi look small

[Ginobili3]

:lol

[r0drig0lac]

kawhi just raising his hand think will slow kd?

[RD2191]

:lmaoAyres

[DapDaGenius]

LMFAO Ayres

[timtonymanu]

Lol Ayres

[loveforthegame]

WTF? Foul?

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!! Great hustle

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Spur fans blaming refs for crappy ball movement and defense.

[r0drig0lac]

was a clear lack

[Ginobili3]

Beli & Kawhi picking up slack

[BatManu20]

Jackson has never not played amazing against us

[timtonymanu]

Sigh. This is another predictable start.

[Juggity]

Reggie Jackson, one of those got damn scrubs who comes alive vs. the spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Who was Parker guarding? That's right no one.

[TheGoldStandard]

Just need to slide a foot under Durant when he goes up.

[Raven]

hi to everyone, just switched on and... not good.

[Cry Havoc]

Lol Spur fans blaming refs for crappy ball movement and defense.

Tough to play defense through moving screens. Real tough. Notice that every time an OKC player gets free it originates from a screen that suspiciously "catches" our player as he tries to go around?

[RD2191]

:lmaobut but Jackson is a scrub, I told you guys, but you never listen.

[weeks]

why does jackson love torching us?

[DapDaGenius]

Lol Spur fans blaming refs for crappy ball movement and defense.

Yeah, we just suck balls. I don't know why people won't just admit that. We're not going anywhere this year.

[r0drig0lac]

then coasting? # green font

[DMC]

Can we put the "Jeff Ayres" bullshit talk to bed now? He's a fucking scrub, needs to be playing in Europe.

[$pursDynasty]

stay on Jackson and Ibaka

[Cry Havoc]

Yeah, we just suck balls. I don't know why people won't just admit that. We're not going anywhere this year.

Seriously, you're a fucking shitty excuse for a fan. We have the best record in the league. There are fans from about 26 other teams who would kill to be in our shoes and all you can do is piss on your team.

[spurspokesman]

Wow parker looks a little off

[BatManu20]

Just need to slide a foot under Durant when he goes up.

Bruce left a long time ago

[Richie]

Jackson is a horrible 3 point shooter, I can live with those. Ibaka however has got an open shot every time, Serge from mid range is much more worrying.

[DMC]

WTF? Foul?

Wasn't a foul just because Jeff fell. He brought the ball behind his back trying to monkey ball and got blocked. No fundamentals, all monkey ball.

[Darius Bieber]

Tough to play defense through moving screens. Real tough. Notice that every time an OKC player gets free it originates from a screen that suspiciously "catches" our player as he tries to go around?

Gotta play through adversity and stop looking to refs for calls. The Spurs have never been known for getting calls, but somehow the Spurs teams in the past won championships.

[r0drig0lac]

spurs pick and roll defense simply does not exist

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres sucks at defense hardcore

[spurspokesman]

Ayres is terrible

[DMC]

Yeah, we just suck balls. I don't know why people won't just admit that. We're not going anywhere this year.

That depends on how many roadblocks still exist in the post season. If OKC falls to injury, if Howard goes down... we could be back in the Finals.

[twincam]

Tim has such a flat shot. Tonight is not his night. Tony is off today. Help

[Ginobili3]

Shoot that Tim

[313]

Travel? Wtf

[Darius Bieber]

Seriously, you're a fucking shitty excuse for a fan. We have the best record in the league. There are fans from about 26 other teams who would kill to be in our shoes and all you can do is piss on your team.

Indiana has the best record in the league. If OKC wins tonight (extremely likely) , they'll be #2 in the League.

[Ginobili3]

That top of the key shot is really becoming annoying, they hit it every time

[Cry Havoc]

Gotta play through adversity and stop looking to refs for calls. The Spurs have never been known for getting calls, but somehow the Spurs teams in the past won championships.

I'm not looking to the refs for calls. I'm looking for the refs to stop making calls period.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[DatBoyGood]

This team just played a tough Portland team last night lol no way they should be going off like this in first quarter. Spurs will get it to together.

[DapDaGenius]

Seriously, you're a fucking shitty excuse for a fan. We have the best record in the league. There are fans from about 26 other teams who would kill to be in our shoes and all you can do is piss on your team.

LOL You're just repeating what the announcers said. XD I'm a fan, not delusional. I acknowledge the truth.

[timtonymanu]

These game are so fucking predictable.

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres chooses not to play defense

[RD2191]

OKC owns the Spurs at just about every position.

[BatManu20]

They're on fire

[Juggity]

jesus christ

[capek]

of course :lmao

[loveforthegame]

Ibaka shitting on us again.

[Cry Havoc]

Indiana has the best record in the league. If OKC wins tonight (extremely likely) , they'll be #2 in the League.

Sorry. We have the 2nd best record in the league. Apologies. Clearly we're just a shitty D league team and need to blow it up.

[r0drig0lac]

ibaka going full dirk against us, nothing new here

[313]

Ayers sucks dick

[BatManu20]

Ayers looks terrible when we play good teams. He redeems himself when we play lower-tier ones

[twincam]

Ayres getting torched

[RD2191]

They're always on fire against the Spurs, nothing new.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!! Nice

[RD2191]

Sorry. We have the 2nd best record in the league. Apologies. Clearly we're just a shitty D league team and need to blow it up.
I agree.

[capek]

:(

[Texas_Ranger]

spurs defense is funny

[Ginobili3]

Are you fuckin kidding me :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

When all you do is stand there flat footed with the wrong arm up you get torched.

[Juggity]

the spurs are always playing catchup with this team.

[$pursDynasty]

does every thunder player have a great game against us?

[Cry Havoc]

LOL You're just repeating what the announcers said. XD I'm a fan, not delusional. I acknowledge the truth.

You're a cliff jumping know nothing who probably said we were done last year when we lost a game to Golden State. "Waaaaah I'm a realist I know we won't win shit even though there's 5 months left in the season."

Great. So stop fucking watching if you know we're not going to win. Since there's no point, right?

[BatManu20]

Perkins just set the worst moving screen I've ever seen and the refs just stuck the whistle up their ass

[spurspokesman]

Now Perkins hitting fall away lol

[DatBoyGood]

:lol Perkins

[Cry Havoc]

Perkins just set the worst moving screen I've ever seen and the refs just stuck the whistle up their ass

Don't forget the touch offensive fouls they've already called twice on the Spurs.

[SupremeGuy]

lol @ thunderefs getting every call and us not getting shit

[Raven]

a little better now (per par)

[313]

Ayers goes out
Defense goes up

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Ibaka just rammed Leonard and no call..

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[Raven]

Ayers goes out
Defense goes up

belinelli went out too tbh.

[twincam]

Lol...ibaka begs for the ball and shoots an airball.

[313]

BENCH AYERS

[Cry Havoc]

Proud of our guys so far. Playing without our 2 best defenders is tough when it's 5 on 8.

[$pursDynasty]

smart move by Timmy use Adams to shield his shot from Ibaka

[313]

belinelli went out too tbh.
Danny green might be a scrub but if it means belli goes back to the bench I'll never happy

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What's with that Monument's Men trailer? In theater it was clearly a comedy but it looked like an action film in the tv version.

[spurspokesman]

My god we need just a little more athleticism on this team

[TheGoldStandard]

Thunder will go cold in the 2nd half. This had the typical Spur game in reverse, we lead the first half and then crumble in the 2nd.

[freetiago]

Errors is so bad it blows my mind how this guy can get key rotation minutes while Splitter gets verbally abused by his coach the first few years

this guy is suppose to be athletic yet he cant make a close out to save his life and hes letting Dirk Abaka go off with wide open just shots
sagging into the paint when Duncan is there defending a non threat in Perkins so he can move freely
then theres his overrated dunks that he can only throw down wide open

and Tony Harden letting Jackson go off per par

[DapDaGenius]

You're a cliff jumping know nothing who probably said we were done last year when we lost a game to Golden State. "Waaaaah I'm a realist I know we won't win shit even though there's 5 months left in the season."

Great. So stop fucking watching if you know we're not going to win. Since there's no point, right?

LOL And you're a delusional moron. I comment on how the team is playing. If we're going somewhere, they need to play like it. Beat the teams that they would likely face in the playoffs. Know nothing? LOL Okay, if that helps you sleep at night. Also, I felt that we could beat the Warriors and we did. We could've won it all, but choked. The potential was there. This year, it doesn't seem like it. You just need to get over it.

If I was a Cliffjumper, I would stop watching. Being a fan, I'll watch every Spurs game that I can, win or lose. 82-0 season or 0-82. I'm still going to state what I think of the team though.

[capek]

A miss?? :wow

[TheGoldStandard]

Surprise surprise

I think the NBA hands out LOB trophies in January. :)

:lol

[$pursDynasty]

it's incredible how one man destroys our inside game, I wish we had a shot blocker like him on our team.

[BatManu20]

That;s not a foul. Refs are tards

Jeff Van Gundy dropping troof bombs

[r0drig0lac]

durant stumbles ... the refs whistle

[Cry Havoc]

Adams gets a foul called on him using a move that the starting Thunder players do on every single play. No wonder he looks confused. :lol

Oh god no, Ayres is back

nice stroke for parker tbh

Tony heating up

[DapDaGenius]

:lol

Now you're just making up shit, b/c you can't defend your point. :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Leonard needs to play 40+ minutes tonight. It's too bad we don't have Green.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is active on both ends. Make Durant chase you at least.

[capek]

..................

[LakerHater]

Shit!

[RD2191]

:lol:lmaoFisher, Spurs D

[capek]

FDF

[timtonymanu]

Can Fisher just die in a fire already?

[spurspokesman]

Parker gets killed on defense

[freetiago]

literally 1 step away on the strong side and Tony Harden is too cool to try to contest it

[RD2191]

Can Fisher just die in a fire already?
:lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Anyone see the schmuck in Tiago's seats tonight?

[capek]

Can Fisher just die in a fire already?

I was gonna post something about Fisher dying! lol

[Cry Havoc]

Now you're just making up shit, b/c you can't defend your point. :lmao

You seem to think it's impossible for this team to win a championship. Curious why that's relevant or practical to talk about in January. But by all means, enlighten me. Every championship team has SURELY looked unbeatable 4 months before the playoffs start, right? Especially the Houston Rockets who didn't even win 50 games.

By the way, whining about how this team isn't going to win anything isn't making a point. So you need to actually come up with something substantial for me to refute. Otherwise I'm just going to continue laughing at your takes. :lol

[Juggity]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Derek Fisher is a guy who would make the NBA a better place by tearing an ACL and retiring.

[RD2191]

Its like OKC found every single Spurs killer and signed them.

[Chomag]

dat flop

[Raven]

Can Fisher just die in a fire already?

my thoughts every time i see him play

[Russ]

Can Fisher just die in a fire already?

Too quick.

[r0drig0lac]

Its like OKC found every single Spurs killer and signed them.
this

[LakerHater]

Tim & Tony combined for 7-11

[Beaverfuzz]

Time to ratchet up the defense. Can't get into a shootout with OKC right now.

[Budkin]

Fuck Derek Fisher forever

[Uriel]

Leonard is doing a fantastic job guarding Durant. But WOW, KD is playing like the best player in basketball.

[313]

Time to ratchet up the defense. Can't get into a shootout with OKC right now.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop is going to pull out all the stops tonight 29 minutes for Kawhi

[DapDaGenius]

Its like OKC found every single Spurs killer and signed them.


:lol Fisher was a Spurs killer. He didn't go off on us the last 2 times we played them. He handed his Spurs killer badge to Jackson.

[BatManu20]

Wait...what? Bonner signed with Adidas? Lol

426156336544350208

[ElNono]

Let KD get his, but keep tabs of everyone else... can't survive these 30pt quarters

[313]

Kevin as the BH in the pnr is pretty hard to defend. I'm glad they went away fron it lol

[LakerHater]

LOL, "Good Luck with Pop"!

[twincam]

Where in the hell is Bayes at? We need a
capable big man

[RD2191]

Spurs lose if they allow another 30 point quarter, 25 or less needed.

[LakerHater]

Spurs shoots 48%
Thunder 65%

[Budkin]

30 points ain't gonna cut it defense!

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs shoots 48%
Thunder 65%

Spurs are playing something like defense may decrease the thunder fg%

[TheGoldStandard]

Boris missed that bunny

[Cry Havoc]

Boris missed that bunny

Yeh, got fouled but he's gotta finish that shit.

I never said it was impossible, but playing the way we are, we most likely won't. You're trying to make the point that I'm a "cliffjumper", but you can't defend it so you just keep making shit up. All I did was state my opinion and you start raging. :lol

[$pursDynasty]

we need to make a push now, our bench is better than theirs

[Raven]

clearly...

[LakerHater]

Fuck You Fisher!

[Chomag]

fuking hell!

[BatManu20]

Fucking Fisher

[LakerHater]

Wayta Answer Manu!!

[RD2191]

[Ginobili3]

FUCK. DAT

[313]

Fisher just needs to die

:lmao fisher... Die just die

[loveforthegame]

FU Fisher.

[Cry Havoc]

MANU

[Cry Havoc]

Wtf even Collison scoring

[313]

Get Ayers outta there

[Beaverfuzz]

Good pass Manu, sucks that Pendergraph couldn't slam it home.

[$pursDynasty]

we just aren't playing defense.

[Cry Havoc]

We're truly in hell when Collison is hitting running jumpers.

[RD2191]

Someone take Fisher out, tbh. Break his fukin leg, I don't even care.

[Budkin]

Fisher bending us over per par

[r0drig0lac]

Ayres digging faults in low per pair

[Captivus]

STOP SOMEONE!!!

[Chomag]

Spurs think they are just going to out score OKC tonight I guess...
