Game 76: Spurs @ Thunderrefs, 3 April 2014, 7:00 PM

[BatManu20]

Are you kidding me?? Fuck these refs

[ace3g]

Kawhi....

gets a smile though

[timtonymanu]

3 fouls on Leonard. Bullshit

[Spurs Brazil]

refs :lol

[ElNono]

wtf was that call?

[RD2191]

:lmaorefs

[313]

LMAO REFS

[DapDaGenius]

Dang...Kawhi dumbin'.

[EVAY]

Damn third foul on Leonard!!!

[313]

NO FOUL? LMAO

[Raven]

like a thousand bs calls

[timtonymanu]

Give it to Patty

[Boomersgold]

Kawhi smiling!

[313]

JESUS CHRIST THE REFS ARE IN FULL FORCE

[MeloHype]

Fuck these refs

[BatManu20]

Fuck these refs. And come on Timmy

[loveforthegame]

Gotta laugh I guess.

Duncan can't buy one. A basket or a call.

[thunderup]

Great officiating there.

[ElNono]

lol here comes the refs "2nd unit"

[RD2191]

this isnt even funny. im gonna sue the nba

[Raven]

BALL DON'T LIE

[EVAY]

Twice Duncan has been unable to finish at the rim and been fouled, but now Duncan gets another foul call!!

[Kidd K]

What the fuck? Ibaka fouls the shit out of Duncan and no call then they call that weak ass shit on Duncan?

Thunder refs are back.

[Capt Bringdown]

Unbelievable. Spurs are gonna have play through this, this might be a pivotal sequence.

[james evans]

bullshit call on leonard and duncan is getting beat to death. and now foul on duncan.

[MeloHype]

Ball don't lie

[Darius McCrary]

Not even surprised.

[Crookshanks]

Bump foul on Leonard, but no foul called when Duncan gets slammed under the basket. And then the late whistle on the other end against Duncan that puts OKC on the line. These refs really want the Thunder to end our winning streak.

[BatManu20]

Come on Timmy.. that's 3 should be lay ups

[Captivus]

Thank god the Spurs dont care when they get fucked by the refs...otherwise that could be a problem,

[crc21209]

There was about 3 stupid calls or non calls in a row..

[downunder]

Parker refuses to pop pass out of paint to Mills free outside even when Mills is hot

[Raven]

good play green

[DapDaGenius]

C'mon...we playing like bitches right now.

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[Raven]

and the threeeeeeeeee

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[ace3g]

Green run

[MeloHype]

Gr33n

[313]

VERDE

[crc21209]

Greeen!

[DapDaGenius]

GR33N. Dumbass Ibaka shouldn't block it. FUCK Chuckbrook!

[ElNono]

v33333333

[Crookshanks]

Oh yeah Danny Green!

[Darius McCrary]

quintessential danny green sequence

[timtonymanu]

WTF Enrique

[Raven]

damn bad ending

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

This game is such a track meet.

[BatManu20]

Shitty end to the half.

[~O~]

Danny green corner

[Crookshanks]

Not such a great ending to the half - but at least the Spurs kept the lead.

[Boomersgold]

Shot by green!

[playbonner15]

So I guess the only way to win is for the Spurs to make those shots huh :wakeup

[Richie]

Really poor hands from the Spurs. We just can't catch the ball today.

[ElNono]

considering where we're playing, pretty good half, tbh

[jARS mEsH sEt]

2x free throw attempt advantage so far. Refs will probably give the spurs a handful of meaningless free throws once OKC has this game won so the reffing looks more fair.

[BatManu20]

This jsut feels like a game the Thunder are going to win. They haven't played particularly well and are only down 2.

[lefty]

Classic Parker.
.



Heroball followed by a turnover

[KL2]

Refs determined to take MVP Leonard out of the game, this is pathetic.

[thunderup]

This is a Thunder win written all over. The Spurs can't keep up with us for a full 48 minutes. You saw us coasting for like 60% of the first half.

[crc21209]

OKC deepthroat in full force tonight. Kawhis 3rd foul, no call on TD's layup attempt as Perkins body checked him, then Tim cleanly blocks Ibaka and the refs call a foul on him. What fucking horseshit...

[Drachen]

I'm tired of Tim getting mugged

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Horrible job giving up that 5 point run.

[boutons_deux]

yeah, spurs fumbled a lot

tim really really cold

[Boomersgold]

Too much dribbling by Parker! Needs to decide whether he wants to drive or pass!

[downunder]

Again Parker drives into traffic and does not outlet pass to a free HOT MIlls

[HarlemHeat37]

Ibaka is really disrupting both Tim and Tony, unfortunately..

Spurs need to keep posting Diaw and Splitter against Ibaka IMO, they both got great looks against him, need Boris to be aggressive..

[Rummpd]

8 on 5 and still Spurs lead. Ginobili is missed tonight.

[RD2191]

The Thunder would be nothing without the refs.

[james evans]

parker's fukin horrible.

[Juggity]

ridiculously awful officiating. Nearly 2012 game 6 level. Been a while since I've seen a team favored as much as the thunder on a night to night basis.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Game is heading in a bad direction imo. Getting into a running match with a more athletic team is gonna hurt.

[poeticism707]

Parker choking hero ball, and terrible D, per par.

[~O~]

I didn't want to believe it but I'm seeing thunder refs out there.

[playbonner15]

Westbrook yelling 'AND1' :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Tim needs to make those shots around the basket and Belinelli needs to show up. Other then that it's OK.

[313]

I'm not scared of playing the Thunder in the playoffs, I'm scared of the refs tbh

[sexinthatsx]

yeah towards the end of the half Duncan went for a layup and got fouled pretty hard by Ibaka but no call... wtf.

[EVAY]

Thunderrefs are gonna hand them this game, I fear, but we don't have to make it easy for them.

None of our starters are playing very well, but we have got to stop turning the ball over.

[jkid12456]

this is where parker needs to step aside and give mills the sunlight

[Diego20]

Manu sucking today tbh, wait a minute :(

[HI-FI]

ridiculously awful officiating. Nearly 2012 game 6 level. Been a while since I've seen a team favored as much as the thunder on a night to night basis.

i only caught the second quarter but looks bad from what I've seen. it's to be expected with this team.

[HarlemHeat37]

That stretch with Leonard getting his 3rd foul + Duncan not getting the call on the layup + Duncan getting called for the foul on the block against Ibaka really hurt the Spurs, tbh..

[313]

The Thunder would be nothing without the refs.

[Beaverfuzz]

Fuck going green NBA!

[crc21209]

I'm not scared of playing the Thunder in the playoffs, I'm scared of the refs tbh

No shit...

[spurraider21]

that series where Duncan got hacked on one end, then got called for a foul on the ensuing OKC possession was frustrating as fuck

edit: HH beat me to it

[crc21209]

That stretch with Leonard getting his 3rd foul + Duncan not getting the call on the layup + Duncan getting called for the foul on the block against Ibaka really hurt the Spurs, tbh..

This. That was a slight momentum turn there. All those calls/non-calls favored the Thunder too..

[timmy2003]

Spurs have to slow the pace down in the second half

[313]

Manu sucking today tbh, wait a minute :(
We're hiding him for the playoffs

[freetiago]

Leonard foul trouble takes away his aggressiveness
Parker has also been making a lot of nice plays tonight but Duncan hasnt finished anything tonight

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop needs to run a few screen plays for Belinelli, tbh..

Marco can't dribble or get his own shot, especially against the Thunder's quickness, he needs to get a few looks, he hasn't had any open shots tonight IIRC..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The pace is really bad for the Spurs right now. They're faster and have more athletic defenders that can keep up better. Timmy or Tiago not defending = easy shots. Ibaka, however, is faster and can recover to protect the rim better.

[EVAY]

Parker choking hero ball, and terrible D, per par.


tim Duncan is three of 11 and you're calling Tony Parker choking hero ball? Seriously??

[ElNono]

Just like on nights where the officiating isn't working out, the Spurs are going to need to make shots... moving the ball is key... that's why Gino is missed... but we can do it.

[Mikeanaro]

Parker sucks, he is ruining the game.

[Beaverfuzz]

the huge forehead doesn't help that 90's haircut Webber!

[~O~]

I'm not scared of playing the Thunder in the playoffs, I'm scared of the refs tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

Who gives a crap about the Amway Center?

[Captivus]

Thunder fans should be concerned...they wont get these calls against Miami...4-0 if that games happens.

[EVAY]

Parker sucks, he is ruining the game.
:rollin

[poeticism707]

I didn't want to believe it but I'm seeing thunder refs out there.

Lol, don't worry, when OKC sweep the Spurs out the playoffs on 35% shooting, all due to Stern's usual food stamps,

you'll believe it then.

[loveforthegame]

Not bad all things considered. Spurs gotta fight through the refs too.

[Mugen]

:lol the fucking calls OKC gets tbh. The Thunder go on a run after every terrible call against the Spurs

[ElNono]

Spurs are one of the teams that foul the least in the league... will the Thunder get 30 freebies tonight? They're certainly on pace...

[Raven]

Pop needs to run a few screen plays for Belinelli, tbh..

Marco can't dribble or get his own shot, especially against the Thunder's quickness, he needs to get a few looks, he hasn't had any open shots tonight IIRC..

you don't want belinelli in meaningful games tbh.

[freetiago]

Pop needs to run a few screen plays for Belinelli, tbh..

Marco can't dribble or get his own shot, especially against the Thunder's quickness, he needs to get a few looks, he hasn't had any open shots tonight IIRC..

he had an open 3 and a drive in the paint he fumbled away
he looked like this vs the Pacers but he turned it on in the second half
tbh..

[spurraider21]

i hope all the people that were doubting that Mills would still be the backup pg in the playoffs are sure of it now. we can't afford to not play him tbh

[timtonymanu]

Going to be a lot more shitty calls in the 2nd half. Hopefully the Spurs continue to hit shots.

[spurraider21]

you don't want belinelli in meaningful games tbh.
did you lose a lot of money on a game because of a shot belinelli missed a few years ago? did he fuck your mother? seriously, whats ur issue with the dude? :lol

[313]

Spurs are one of the teams that foul the least in the league... will the Thunder get 30 freebies tonight? They're certainly on pace...
KD will finish with 20 by himself

[maverick1948]

Reading this forum you would think the Thunder were the greatest team ever with the refs help. But the Spurs are the team that has won 19 in a row. Even a loss here would not be a disaster. We have to lose a game sometime. Of course, I would hope it would be the a team that earns it, not one that has to have the refs help them.


WHERE IS JOEY WHEN WE NEED HIM? LOL

[Splits]

TP giving Chimpy McChimbrook 8ft of room at the arc on a 2-1 possession at the end of the half was really fucking bad. We were up 8 with 30sec to go and that's the most obvious thing Chimpy is going to do in that situation

[jARS mEsH sEt]

The Thunder would be nothing without the refs.

And the refs really pour it on. They'll call Leonard for a touch foul on Ibaka where they both were pushing each other, and then they'll award KD free throws on the very next possession. Those are potential 4, 5, or 6 point swings every time. It's very difficult to beat that.

[poeticism707]

Spurs are one of the teams that foul the least in the league... will the Thunder get 30 freebies tonight? They're certainly on pace...

:rollin:rollin:rollin

Funny how the Spurs, the most disciplined defensive team in basketball, become the Knicks everytime they play OKC?

Unfortunately, this may be playoff foreshadowing, as you rarely see regular season fixes these days.

[HI-FI]

TP giving Chimpy McChimbrook 8ft of room at the arc on a 2-1 possession at the end of the half was really fucking bad. We were up 8 with 30sec to go and that's the most obvious thing Chimpy is going to do in that situation
Parker's bbiq is always a powder keg imo.

Plus the refs giving the usual home meth discount.

Going to be a tough game. Hoping for the best.

[RD2191]

KD shooting 4-13 "he's halfway to 25" gotta love analyst. no mention of kawhi's great defense.

[ElNono]

Make shots and you don't have to worry about the refs...

[look_at_g_shred]

Shaky ass calls tbh

[JR3]

Where is Kenny chuck and Ernie? Webber and the rest of these nuts get on my nerves...

[RD2191]

If you thought you saw bad calls and fluke shots in the 1st half you should stick around, you won't believe your eyes in the 2nd.

[SpursFan86]

Make shots and you don't have to worry about the refs...

This tbh. Blame the refs all you want, but we could easily be up by 10+ if we were hitting the shots we should hit.

[Raven]

did you lose a lot of money on a game because of a shot belinelli missed a few years ago? did he fuck your mother? seriously, whats ur issue with the dude? :lol

don't know what your issue is that you can't see his shittyness tbh.

[Uriel]

It feels weird only being up 3 at halftime. I'm used to the Spurs being up 20 by now.

[JR3]

Calls have been interesting and timely...

[look_at_g_shred]

If you thought you saw bad calls and fluke shots in the 1st half you should stick around, you won't believe your eyes in the 2nd.
Tbh

[Budkin]

Going to be a lot more shitty calls in the 2nd half. Hopefully the Spurs continue to hit shots.

It's comical at this point.

[Budkin]

It feels weird only being up 3 at halftime. I'm used to the Spurs being up 20 by now.

Ain't going to happen against the Thunder.

[look_at_g_shred]

I'm actually shocked when we come away with the ball and hear no whistle

[timtonymanu]

Diaw starting

[EVAY]

Thye have almost twice as many foul shots as us.

[Bartleby]

Make shots and you don't have to worry about the refs...

When your best defenders are in early foul trouble making shots may not be enough.

[Mikeanaro]

When things get hot is when thunderefs will blow the foghorns to help Chimp and company Im expecting a great concert for the last minutes.

[313]

If you thought you saw bad calls and fluke shots in the 1st half you should stick around, you won't believe your eyes in the 2nd.

[spurraider21]

don't know what your issue is that you can't see his shittyness tbh.
he's a bench player for a reason, but that aint the point. you have it out for him for some reason, just wondering what it stems from

[BatManu20]

Danny Green is so slow when he pump-fakes and puts the ball on the floor

[EVAY]

Diaw starting

Does this mean Splitter is hurt again?

[Crookshanks]

LOL at Mike Fratello - "the Thunder haven't fouled the Spurs very much". Yes they have, the refs just aren't calling them! :bang

[EVAY]

Nice Diaw

[r0drig0lac]

Make shots and you don't have to worry about the refs...

is not so simple, especially the frustration of being operated

[BatManu20]

Fuck you Perkins

[ElNono]

:lol Perk

[crc21209]

Here we go!

[timtonymanu]

Perkins can die in a fire.

[313]

This tbh. Blame the refs all you want, but we could easily be up by 10+ if we were hitting the shots we should hit.
Can't shoot 100%

[ace3g]

really Perkins...

[BatManu20]

Perkins is such a little bitch

[RD2191]

FUCK THAT FAT PIECE OF SHIT FUCKINF FAGGOT GET MY DUDE AYRES IN THERE

[noles1983]

perkins is such a ghetto nigga

[EVAY]

Perkins and angeer management,

[crc21209]

Double tech?!?!? WTF...

[RD2191]

ROFL DOUBLE TECH

[Drachen]

Need a gif on that

[Kidd K]

WHAT THE FUCK?? How is that a double T???

[Raven]

blowin even such easy calls..

[loveforthegame]

Duncan pissed.

[BatManu20]

Double technical?? God dammit these refs are a disgrace

[~O~]

This officiating is HORRIBLE

[EVAY]

Fuck how is that a double technical!!

[RD2191]

THIS IS RIDICULOUS

[crc21209]

What a pussy ass call..

[313]

Do they ever call goal tending on Abaka

[noles1983]

double tech, thunder refs

[SpurPadre]

a fucking double tech for that shit? fuck you refs

[Crookshanks]

Double technical? Weak call, refs!

[PingPong]

Perkins is so stupid...

[Splits]

:lmao double tech

[DJR210]

Lol Thunderrefs at their finest. Fucking double technical smh

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

It's as if Stern never left.

[Juggity]

Are you fucking kidding me? Double technical?

[Drachen]

Fucking lame

[spursparker9]

Well that confirm it Thunderef

[KL2]

This is ridiculous

[The_Worlds_finest]

holy shit the refs really want to suck some thunder dick after this game

[superjames1992]

Westbrook taking Enrique's milk money, tbh... Hero-on-hero violence. :cry

[313]

Our guys are scared to even touch their guys in fear of a foul

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkV2F2ZIgAAHbjx.png:large

[Raven]

diaw you got to make those

[BatManu20]

Diaw's gotta hit that. Wide open

[RD2191]

GET AYRES IN THERE TO FUCK SHIT UP

[watertorture]

pathetic

[Crookshanks]

We have been so spoiled over the last 19 games because we're used to the Spurs being up by double digits. This is going to be a dogfight to the end.

[Raven]

bellis D :lol

[timtonymanu]

Fuck!

[Rummpd]

Not a good start to half.

[313]

lol just lol

[BatManu20]

I hate when Parker does that. Stop being a pussy and get back on D

[james evans]

u can get a technical for getting pushed? what kind of bullshit is that? that's like getting arrested for being robbed

[Kidd K]

Parker clearly fouled and no call

[spurraider21]

just commit a gd foul in that situation

[313]

We have been so spoiled over the last 19 games because we're used to the Spurs being up by double digits. This is going to be a dogfight to the end.
Not with these refs. OKC by 20.

[RD2191]

The refs won't allow us to beat OKC, they just wont. Fuck OKC, hope their fucking plane goes down and they all die a terrible fiery death.

[Rummpd]

bull s.

[noles1983]

god i hate okc, bunch of fags

[loveforthegame]

Can't cry about the refs. :bang

Miss Leonard. :bang

[Uriel]

That was a dirty move by OKC, tbh.

[jkid12456]

why the fuck is marco and tony out there smh, get fkin patty mills dumass

[Richie]

Poor from Spurs, need to foul in a 4v5 situation there

[playblair]

neals d & 3's >>>>>>>>> belis d & 3's.....................

[sexinthatsx]

first game back and Kendrick Perkins being Kendrick Perkins - what a douchebag lol :rollin

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Okc playing poorly and winning

[Raven]

We have been so spoiled over the last 19 games because we're used to the Spurs being up by double digits. This is going to be a dogfight to the end.

true, doesn't help that manu isn't there, he leads the league in net rating if i'm correct

[ElNono]

gotta make shots, tbh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I wanna see how bad Tony got hit and if it warranted him taking 10 seconds to get up.

[thunderup]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.

[Crookshanks]

I was afraid this game was going to be the one to end the winning streak. Spurs are tired and the Thunder are well rested, and the refs always favor the Thunder. I just want the Spurs to make it a good game and fight to the end. I still believe they can win this game, but it's going to be tough.

[spurraider21]

gotta make shots, tbh
Mike D'Antoni goods

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Belinelli sucks right now. Pop saving Leonard for the fourth quarter to ensure he doesn't foul out?

[weebo]

Bottom line: Spurs need to hit those wide open shots

[SpursFan86]

Okc playing poorly and winning

And we're playing well...?

[james evans]

I hate when Parker does that. Stop being a pussy and get back on D
and it happens a lot. it's not like the refs are gonna see him on the ground faking and stop the play to give him a foul call.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.
Leave you little dick sucking faggot.

[jkid12456]

not for long once patty get there

[PingPong]

Diaw will guard Durant?

[thunderup]

So many crybabies in this forum.

[Budkin]

Spurs need to face some fucking adversity...

[RD2191]

Just in case anyone was getting their hopes up we will not get past OKC in the WCF, the league will not allow it.

[ace3g]

Timmy!!!

[sexinthatsx]

Mike D'Antoni goods

I'm going to quote Mike D'Antoni - "Shoot often, shoot deep!" hahaha

[Captivus]

Bring Neal back!!

[MeloHype]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.

[ElNono]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.

[mclinejr]

There's going to be a fight before the end of this game. If so, you better pray for Perkins.

[loveforthegame]

Of course Timmy hits that. :lol

[spurraider21]

could have sworn westbrook reached behind tony's back on our previous possession

[spurraider21]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.
:hat

[ace3g]

I like this line up of Splitter, Diaw, Timmy

[mclinejr]

I just got home from work. Where's Kawai?

[timtonymanu]

Danny should have just thrown that up

[Kidd K]

how is that not 3 ftas? he got fouled

[313]

That's a shot attempt. He brought it down because he got fouled

[BatManu20]

Danny why didn't you shoot that?? Smh so dumb

[spurraider21]

durant would have gotten 4 free throws for that

[Kidd K]

How is that not the act of shooting? He was squared up, in the shooting motion and jumping in the air. . .

[313]

I just got home from work. Where's Kawai?
foul trouble

[james evans]

wasnit in the act of shooting? why the fuk would he be jumping that far from the rim?

[Crookshanks]

how is that not 3 ftas? he got fouled

He's wearing the black jersey.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter struggling. Duncan struggling.

[Darius McCrary]

Splitter is such a fucking joke against OKC and MIA

[noles1983]

diaw u suck

[Aztecfan03]

:lol Just like that we have the lead.

thunderrefs

[boutons_deux]

spurs have had so many shitty posessions

[spurraider21]

:lol for fucks sake, shitty transition pullup jumper and he gets bailed out

[BatManu20]

These refs are awful at their job.

[Beaverfuzz]

gotta be smarter than that Tony...Westbrook has been doing that all night long.

[loveforthegame]

These ducking refs.

[ElNono]

:lol

[SPIDER2311]

splitter is so painful to watch

[thunderup]

Great call. Parker trying to undercut Russ.
