Psychological ownage.

[Kidd K]

Why aren't the Thunder getting called for these fuckin fouls? Westbrook bumps into Parker, that would've been a foul on Tony if he did it. Splitter gets hit, no call. Gimmie a fuckin break.

Why is it always this bs with the Thunder?

[AusSpur]

WTF is this refing!!!

[Captivus]

Tiago has the strength of a 3 year old.

[The_Worlds_finest]

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

three fouls. Refs are sucking mad thunder cock right now

[james evans]

man there is no need to finish this game. the 4th quarter will be worse. we lost. cheating ass refs

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter in vagina mode

[Budkin]

Why aren't the Thunder getting called for these fuckin fouls? Westbrook bumps into Parker, that would've been a foul on Tony if he did it. Splitter gets hit, no call. Gimmie a fuckin break.

Why is it always this bs with the Thunder?

Because the Thunder are "athletic."

[Crookshanks]

This is getting ugly really fast. That sequence at the end of the half changed the momentum and now it seems the Thunder are getting very call.

[BatManu20]

I've never seen a team get such a home court advantage as the Thunder do. and they haven't earned it at all, either. Pretty insane.

[KawhiLeonard]

Omfg I can't take this shit with the refs

[CGD]

Thunder refs! Thunder refs!

[spurraider21]

splitter's been getting destroyed under the rim

[RD2191]

THIS GAME IS OVER

[Aztecfan03]

Danny should have just thrown that up

the foul made him lose contact with the ball i think. I guess he could have still pushed the ball up.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Kawhi must be injured.

[Captivus]

no replay on that Parker foul eh...

[Budkin]

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

Pop is afraid to put him in.

[noles1983]

spurs sucking dick

[BatManu20]

Splitter is 7'0 tall and has been blocked 4 times this game. That's embarrassing.

[spurraider21]

westbrook is being allowed to reach on every possession... TP did it once and got a foul called

[Beaverfuzz]

Nevermind, last replay was good.

[thunderup]

Yes!

[RD2191]

Blow it up, this team can't hang with OKC

[timtonymanu]

Such a predictable Thunderef game.

[superjames1992]

Manu = The Missing Piece. :cry

[Captivus]

Game Over.

[loveforthegame]

Parker taking it up the ass.

Glad Pop sat Leonard.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Pace isn't in their control at all right now. Can't make shots and the Thunder are running it up so quickly.

[~O~]

Now the Spurs are completely out of sync. You already know why.

[spursfan1000]

pull everyone out were done with these refs. save it for another night

[noles1983]

fucking dumbass pop, but KL in u fuck

[Uriel]

Wow. Haven't felt this way in a long time.

[ElNono]

missing shots... all there is to it...

[Rummpd]

game over

[r0drig0lac]

've seen this movie, with these refs have no chance

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Methlahoma per par

[Beaverfuzz]

let Patty run the show for awhile, make Westbrook play some actual defense.

[noles1983]

Yes!

gtfo

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

And I think going big is a bigger mistake than going small (both without Leonard). Very little chance Diaw + Splitter + Duncan can keep up with the pace of the game.

[spurraider21]

missing shots... all there is to it...
there's a little more to it, but yeah, would have a huge difference if we hit open shots

[HI-FI]

so disgusting and frustrating.

[Captivus]

Rest everybody.

[james evans]

and many of u before the game was saying we shouldnt worry about officiating. i don't understand why they give these fukers so many calls as if looking at a team shoot freethrows is interesting

[SPIDER2311]

patty is stronger them splitter

[DJR210]

I just popped 18 tylenols

[thispego]

Lol, very thundercentric commentating. We can expect to see this crew in the WCF. They can definitely sell the fix

[TheGoldStandard]

Just a terrible game so far.

[noles1983]

took a closeline to get a foul for parker

[AusSpur]

Rip throughs are on their way...

[Beaverfuzz]

Way to watch the clock Tony.

[wildbill2u]

Splitter is 7'0 tall and has been blocked 4 times this game. That's embarrassing.

That's about his average. Never seen a guy that tall get blocked -clean--so many times. Ridiculous

[Crookshanks]

I think I'm going to have to turn this off because it's making me very angry and frustrated. You can tell the Spurs are getting frustrated at how the game is being played and now the crowd is really getting into the game. I wanted it to be a close game, but the refs changed the momentum and I'm not sure the Spurs can get it back.

[Budkin]

Whatever.

[superjames1992]

PATHETIC ENRIQUE IGNORANT

[RD2191]

OKC can handle the Spurs easily, way too easily. This team needs to rebuild.

[crc21209]

Tony is getting bumped all over the fucking place...

[poeticism707]

The Spurs ain't winning this one.

Pop is soft, he ain't got T ed defending his team.

OKC getting so many food stamps, it's not even funny.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Green is too pussy to shoot, Duncan and Splitter keep passing it and fumbling catches.

[TheGoldStandard]

I have no clue why Splitter is still in this game. Not useful now

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thunder D was solid

[loveforthegame]

Putt Mills or Joseph in for fucks sake

[Uriel]

Parker gets whacked in the face, and the refs don't call a foul. Westbrook gets grazed in the chin, and they blow their whistle.

[EVAY]

Parker got fouled three different times in that series and never got a call!!

[ace3g]

Pop should bring in Patty, Parker just isn't doing enough off the dribble

[HarlemHeat37]

I still don't understand why Pop chose to play everybody, such a poor decision, tbh:lol..

It's evident that all Thunder players are confident against the Spurs + the Spurs have allowed the refs to get inside their heads..

Now we have to hope the Clippers take care of shit in the 2nd round, tbh..

[Beaverfuzz]

hack a Duncan!

[Raven]

splitter is so painful to watch

he's getting some awful passes tbh, right under the rim against two defenders mostly

[benfti]

Mills please

[superjames1992]

Parker dribble dribble dribble shot clock violation tbh!

[Capt Bringdown]

missing shots... all there is to it...

More to it than that. Thunder pulling from the tried and true "How to Beat the Spurs" playbook.

[313]

Rip throughs are on their way...

[Juggity]

OKC with zebra defense all night long

[crc21209]

Survive this fucking quarter...

[RD2191]

More to it than that. Thunder pulling from the tried and true "How to Beat the Spurs" playbook.

[superjames1992]

I still don't understand why Pop chose to play everybody, such a poor decision, tbh:lol..

Didn't play Manu, tbh...

[Beaverfuzz]

Jesus Splitter, what kind of shitty ass pass was that?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Seriously, interior passing isn't working against the Thunder. Stop doing it.

[EVAY]

Well we haven't had to play from behind for a long time, this will be a test.

[BatManu20]

Splitter making that $35 million contract look like highway robbery tbh

[loveforthegame]

The bigs bobbling the balls inside. Try something else.

[noles1983]

splitter, sprain your ankle or something

[MVPCues]

WWF

[Beaverfuzz]

how is that incidental contact on Tony and Collison?

[RD2191]

DONE DONE DONE

[TheGoldStandard]

How was that not a foul?

[MeloHype]

Okc is just standing in the paint

[superjames1992]

Another Parker turnover.....

[ElNono]

come on Enrique

[Raven]

leonard showing up

[Beaverfuzz]

LEONARD PART VI!

[EVAY]

Tell me Parker didn't get fouled on that!!!

[Captivus]

Get the fuck out Tiago

[ace3g]

Kawhi!!!

[313]

Leonard!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[spurtech09]

dude whats the deal with the refs love for okc?spurs are getting abused out there.....

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good job Leonard, not afraid to shoot unlike every other player on the floor.

[Beaverfuzz]

That's a fucking kick ball, nice job refs!

[DJR210]

Damn..D like this minus Sefalosha?

[BatManu20]

Take out Parker, put in Mills. Pop being stubborn again.

[crc21209]

Clear kicked ball...

[timtonymanu]

Leonard, big balls like always

[313]

Kawhi needs to take over

[Raven]

I still don't understand why Pop chose to play everybody, such a poor decision, tbh:lol..

It's evident that all Thunder players are confident against the Spurs + the Spurs have allowed the refs to get inside their heads..

Now we have to hope the Clippers take care of shit in the 2nd round, tbh..

i don't know, it can give him some memo for the play offs..

[spurtech09]

only reason okc got back in it is because of the refs
...

[RD2191]

OKC owns the Spurs mentally, the Spurs need to respond like now.

[superjames1992]

Tell me Parker didn't get fouled on that!!!
He dribbled it off their foot tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow, lol... it's just so blatant these calls.

[crc21209]

Durant carried that ball like a motherfucker there..

[MeloHype]

Another bs call

[timtonymanu]

Jeff Errors in. Fuck.

[Kidd K]

lol these calls OKC gets are so pussy

[HarlemHeat37]

Can't really blame Splitter, the rest of the team is passing the ball to him in terrible positions, tbh..

Boris really needs to step up here, run the offense through him..

[BatManu20]

OKC owns the Spurs mentally, the Spurs need to respond like now.

You mean the refs? Lol gtfoh

[Raven]

posterized :lmao

[313]

noo Errors. Game over

[Beaverfuzz]

sky hook it Kawhi!

[spurtech09]

might as well rest the starters cause spurs are not coming back....thanks to the refs

[ace3g]

white flag has been waived in the Ayre(s)

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Where is Baynes?

[loveforthegame]

Leonard pissed. :tu

[Juggity]

Leonard is the shit.

[EVAY]

He dribbled it off their foot tbh.

right after he got kicked by Collison

[313]

noo Errors. Game over

[Raven]

that went well smh :lol

[RD2191]

ROFL SPURS BLOW IT UP

[BatManu20]

Pull the starters tbh

[r0drig0lac]

I just wish someone in the team come out and speak what about the refs for the thunder, to see the reaction of the rest of the teams in the league, even if it meant a fine

[spurtech09]

gameover...thanks refs

[Capt Bringdown]

It's looking like scenes from a backdoor sweep.

[noles1983]

pathetic

[Beaverfuzz]

nobody there to rebound, four guys outside the arc.

[spurraider21]

if Durant made that 3 i probably would have kicked my dog

[Beaverfuzz]

hahaha, you deserve that you piece of shit Kansas fucktard!

[TheGoldStandard]

We need to go into blatant foul mode, like flagrant 2 mode just to set the taste of the playoffs.

[noles1983]

spurs are such pussies in okc

[spurtech09]

refs really blow

[MeloHype]

Good, fuck collision

[RD2191]

The Spurs turn into major faggots against the Thunder, it isn't even funny anymore.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

One man team. Leonard is the only one who decided to show up tonight.

[TheGoldStandard]

I hope he has a hematoma and dies.

[313]

if Durant made that 3 i probably would have kicked my dog

[crc21209]

:lol oh my god poor baby is bleeding :rolleyes

[DapDaGenius]

Hell yeah, we doing right.

[AusSpur]

http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/buuC2IHqgCk/maxresdefault.jpg


Cant believe this guy is reffing!!!

[Darius McCrary]

Why couldn't that have happened to Perkins or Westbrook

[timtonymanu]

I'm with the minority that this was a pointless game to play everyone. Confidence drop for them.

[313]

The Spurs turn into major faggots against the Thunder, it isn't even funny anymore.
We can't play D with these refs

[BillMc]

Well, this sucks.

[spurraider21]

French legion with 7 turnovers

[EVAY]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.

[spurtech09]

I knew the game would turn out like this...don't risk injury.....spurs can't win when the refs are up to there old tricks

[ElNono]

Other than Pop throwing this game early, we're fine... it's a game of runs... just gotta make your shots and get back on defense

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pop is probably happy as fuck right now

[Splits]

My money is on Collison keeping a razor blade in his pocket and cut himself

[Crookshanks]

I just wish someone in the team come out and speak what about the refs for the thunder, to see the reaction of the rest of the teams in the league, even if it meant a fine

Pop won't let them play the ref card, but I'd love to have someone make a comment. All the Spurs players could chip in for the fine. I just don't understand the league's love for the Thunder. Yes, Kevin Durant is a good player - but would he be as good if he didn't get all the calls? Kawhi was doing a pretty good job defending him until the refs took over and got him in foul trouble.

[noles1983]

better hope someone else knocks out the thunder, bitch ass spurs

[SpurPadre]

Turnovers, missed shots and then at the other end, they're playing way faster than we can keep up. Tough quarter.

[Kidd K]

Collison, if you're scared, buy a dog.

[RD2191]

Spurs bitched out, this pretty much fucks up the entire season for me. Spurs still can't do shit against OKC, refs are part of it but not all of it. What a joke.

[Budkin]

As long as we have homecourt we'll be alright.

[MVPCues]

Watching a game like this can give you anger issues.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.

OKC is the only team with the tools to stop the Spurs offense, tbh..

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkV7Hh0CYAAehhJ.jpg:large

[spurraider21]

dont understand why the lineup was shifted to start the 2nd half. should have started out with tiago/duncan/kawhi just like the first half and tried to keep the game slow. instead everything accelerated, and tiago came in and got completely blitzed

[Capt Bringdown]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.

Exactly. Regular season winning streaks: fool's gold

[Uriel]

List of Excuses:
1. Spurs' 5th game in 7 nights
2. Spurs' 2nd game of a back to back
3. OKC had 3 days off
4. No Manu Ginobili

[EVAY]

Pop won't let them play the ref card, but I'd love to have someone make a comment. All the Spurs players could chip in for the fine. I just don't understand the league's love for the Thunder. Yes, Kevin Durant is a good player - but would he be as good if he didn't get all the calls? Kawhi was doing a pretty good job defending him until the refs took over and got him in foul trouble.

Don't think for a moment that the League won't get a tape from the Spurs team showing all the bad calls from this game. They do it all the time. They just don't advertise it.

[spurtech09]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.you forgot to mention the ref screwing the spurs

[jag]

Pop is probably happy as fuck right now

I agree. That being said, I don't want the Thunder or Rockets in the postseason.

Also, I wish Perkins would have been in one of the towers on 9/11

[Raven]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.

good take. Diaw and or Patty and or Beli need to make the threes for that not to happen.

[RD2191]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.
Been saying it all year but no one listens.

[SupremeGuy]

And this is why Pop should have rested all of the starters. Everyone knew the thunderefs were going to be out in full force tonight. Spurs are getting fouled left and right, and nothing. Then we're not allowed to play any defense whatsoever. Thunderfan should be embarrassed, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Pop is probably happy as fuck right now

[TheGoldStandard]

Time to take out Durant.. just flat out submarine him.. then watch him cry..

[Kidd K]

Spurs need to take better shots

[spurraider21]

last year Tmac was the human victory cigar. This year it feels like Ayres is the human white flag

[noles1983]

can we get ANYTHING from belli?

[spurtech09]

The Spurs have been winning with lots of passing, but this is how we will be defended in the playoffs, tbh…everybody sits in the passing lanes and and puts their hands out and our passes don't work.you forgot to mention the ref screwing the spurs

[Splits]

Error butterfingers

[BillMc]

Gee, the team that's had four days off has more energy in the second half than the one that played last night. Nothing much to read here good or bad. Only thing I worry about is how OKC's length seems to bother us. All those extra passes we normally thrive on, seem to result in turn overs against them.

[RD2191]

GET A FUCKING STOP

[ace3g]

Beli!!! see if that gets him goin

[313]

MARCO! FINALLY!

[spurraider21]

we need some more magic from dat dude

[Darius McCrary]

Belli wide open jumper, total clanker

[loveforthegame]

Marco finally.

[ElNono]

beli!

[RD2191]

ROFL AT THAT FOUL BY IBAKA

[Raven]

oh come on...

[AusSpur]

errors + Ayres = turnaround!

[noles1983]

belli sighting

[superjames1992]

King Belli clutch per par.

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[spurtech09]

lol another bullshit call from the refs

[weebo]

LOL what a bunch of fucks on this board...the spurs have played 3 games in 4 nights and coming off a back to back...the thunder haven't played since sunday

[RD2191]

:lmao:lol

[james evans]

damn durant wants a foul on every play, but how is that a foul on hearst?

[BatManu20]

What is it with our guys fouling guys on 3's? You learn not to do that in peewee league.

[Darius McCrary]

Even with that 3, ive said it before I'll say it again, I do not trust Marco in the playoffs. Disapointment waiting to happen.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol ref didn't even wait till the shot went up to blow that whistle.

[MeloHype]

Seriously that's a foul? Fuck this game

[crc21209]

You've gotta be kidding. That ref looked like he was already calling the foul before Fisher even released the shot. What the fuck..

[ElNono]

:lol fish

[wildbill2u]

Quit bellyaching about the refs. We're getting beat by TOs and lousy shooting percentages. No excuses for those.

[Crookshanks]

Don't think for a moment that the League won't get a tape from the Spurs team showing all the bad calls from this game. They do it all the time. They just don't advertise it.

Well, that's good then. But will it change anything? I think the refs should be fined for making such blatant bad calls!

[superjames1992]

Fisher Spurkiller tbh.

[james evans]

i replayed this play 3 times and they callled foul before mills ever got there

[spurraider21]

2 for 1 :tu

[Capt Bringdown]

The question for the playoffs is, how are the Spurs supposed to stop the Thunder?
Against their length, speed and physicality, we got nothing.

[loveforthegame]

Patty!!

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[DapDaGenius]

Where is Baynes?

Injured ribs.

[TheGoldStandard]

Just once when he tries to do that rip through I'd love for someone just to punch him in the face.

[Raven]

we're still close enough.

[loveforthegame]

Durant just blowing by Diaw. It's funny.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs folding in face of tough defense

[james evans]

What is it with our guys fouling guys on 3's? You learn not to do that in peewee league.
they aren't fouling, the thunder are flopping on every 3 point shot

[RD2191]

Anyone not worried about the Thunder is either delusional or in denial. They don't even have to break a sweat to beat the Spurs.

[Raven]

The question for the playoffs is, how are the Spurs supposed to stop the Thunder?
Against their length, speed and physicality, we got nothing.

simple, play the starters and on the bench manu can be the only non defender in the lineup.

[EVAY]

Well, that's good then. But will it change anything? I think the refs should be fined for making such blatant bad calls!

So do I but I don't see that it makes much difference, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Diaw crowds Durant as if he's not quick enough to drive by him. He drives by him every time.

[ElNono]

Anyone not worried about the Thunder is either delusional or in denial. They don't even have to break a sweat to beat the Spurs.

not worried here...

[Darius McCrary]

And this is why Pop should have rested all of the starters. Everyone knew the thunderefs were going to be out in full force tonight. Spurs are getting fouled left and right, and nothing. Then we're not allowed to play any defense whatsoever. Thunderfan should be embarrassed, tbh.
At least with Pop playing full strength and we lose, Pop has something to coach the team up on.

How do you coach them up if we play the B team?

I'd rather win tonight and shut these thunder fucks up, but I'd rather lose trying to win than lose with that B team shit.

[noles1983]

its ok i guess, road to the finals comes through SA

[TE]

I would think I didn't get the proper science education because the laws of physics have been defied with this officiating...good fucking god, this team is unbeatable with the momentum noncalls and calls it gets tbh.

[Captivus]

OKC wont get those calls against the Clippers...they will handle them...dont worry.
1st seed is huge.

[ace3g]

Spurs either score first 3-4 pts of 4th quarter or it is Damion James time

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

These refs need to be investigated.

[spurtech09]

win some lose some

[timmy2003]

everything is falling apart

[spurtech09]

These refs need to be investigated.agree.....whats the deal

[benfti]

Patty heating up!
Patty got dis

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

So if we lose what's the magic number to lock up number 1?

[ElNono]

this Thunder team looks cute, but it's all fluky shots and handouts... not really impressed. 2nd round fodder, tops.

[313]

:lol @ people claiming that OKC's athleticism is what's messing with the Spurs

We were well on our way to blowing these fools out until the refs came in and did their thing

[superjames1992]

The Spurs would be ahead if Manu was playing tbh...

[r0drig0lac]

The league need to be investigated.

fixed

[RD2191]

this Thunder team looks cute, but it's all fluky shots and handouts... not really impressed. 2nd round fodder, tops.
:lol

[crc21209]

Patty will start off the 4th with back to back 3's...

[TheGoldStandard]

Scott Brooks: We get a lot of help from the refs, you know without them we'd probably be as good as Golden State.

[Clipper Nation]

OKC wont get those calls against the Clippers...

Yes, they will :lol

[spursparker9]

What if Harden is still on this team?

[spurtech09]

spurs just need to find a way to beat the refs and okc

[BatManu20]

Lol Ayers is so awful

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Were working so fucking hard to score. And they just score like nothing, or they of course get a whistle.
they score, or get a whistle everytime they have the ball
EVERYTIME.
Give them credit tho there playing good D on us.
but EVERYTIME....
really

[spurtech09]

did shabaka win the lottery lol

[RD2191]

:lol

[noles1983]

splitter is fucking terrible
