second half freethrows: okc 26, spurs 0

[poop]

What else is there to say?

[poop]

Now 31-2.No one cares?

[4lifecowboy]

Ridiculous.

[poop]

This should be topic number one on any nba coverage sports show imo. How the fuck do you just 'ignore' something like this??

[mVp]

And still the Spurs would have won the game if they didn't play like total shit.

[GrandeDavid]

It's why the Spurs lost. Parker playing like garbage also didn't help.

[Agloco]

And still the Spurs would have won the game if they didn't play like total shit.

This.

[myhc]

Amazing that if they pulled down some more loose balls and didn't allow DEREK FISHER to grab offensive rebounds off missed FTs, we still could have won this game.

[dg7md]

Not at all mentioned on Inside the NBA. Terrible, because that is clearly a sign of OKC favoritism. I don't care how "soft" any team is, no team should ever have 26 freethrows while the other team has none.

[poop]

Spurs didnt play great, but they were tied until this 3rd quarter bullshit.26-0. Will anyone even acknowlege this bullshit? TNT guys? Nba.com?? Anyone??

[tim_duncan_fan]

The guys played like pussies because Ibaka was back. The refs are always shit. We weren't conspired against.

The only thing that "happened to us" was that we got scared shitless at the mere thought of Ibaka coming back and completely killed our own confidence like we always do.

Pussies don't get awarded freethrows.

I don't even want us to win if we can't forcibly take a win. Fuck that moral victory bullshit. I want the Spurs to have more points than the other team at the final buzzer regardless of what else is going on.

The team either has to stop being mental midgets or lose the series.

Nut up or get the fuck out, Spurs. Those really are the only two options.

Running up to the goal missing layups like pussies because a real big man happens to be looking at them and then wondering why the refs don't respect them...

Spurs have to get some fucking pride. I'm a Spurs fan and I could smell the fear from the start of the game.

[lefty]

lol blaming the refs

[Russ]

lol blaming the refs

The refs are a part of the court.

Don't complain because there's a dead spot where you dribble.

[poop]

lol blaming the refsLol massive denial

[poop]

I don't think refs were the reason the Spurs lost, there were far bigger reasons, but I don't know why people are acting like OKC got all their FTAs from attacking the rim aggressively:lol..they received a ton of FTAs from touch fouls, Chimpbrook in particular..

[4lifecowboy]

This is a method they have used against us for years now. It is so obvious at this point yet I keep reading theses "if they would have shot better", "if they were more aggressive" post. Don't you get it by now the way the fouls are called directly affects the rhythm of the game. It is designed to curve the aggression of both teams The beneficiary can play more aggressive cause they know they are getting away with more (how many reach arounds did Westbrook get away with?) while the other team have, what can they get away with without a foul being called running through their mind, for those who have played this game on any competitive level know that emotions is a big key to rhythm they are controlling the emotions of the game with fouls. Its bullshit and it has screwed us on more occasions then this one.

[mudyez]

Love the daily dime page:

"Ibaka" mentioned 31 times..."free throw disparity" not a single time!

[hater]

there was no way in hell Spurs were winning game 3 to get up 3-0 vs OKC.

only idiot spursfan would think to this being possible :lmao

Lol. That's what it takes to create a 36 point swing. I don't think there's subtle ways to make those shifts happen. They even had to resort to disallowing Patty's 3.

[AFBlue]

Refs always reward the aggressors. The Spurs turned into a scared jump-shooting team in the second half and started chucking up terrible shots.

Bottom line: Thunder played like a desperate, hungry team on both sides of the ball and the Spurs (outside of Manu) did not. The free throw disparity wasn't the problem...it was a symptom.

[wut]

this. It's a systematic one-sided screw job. Let team A play physical, anything close to legit on team b, call it.

[Knoxxx]

The funny part was they called bs fouls early on okc Perkins in particular. Probably to mask it and try to get more Ibaka time.

[AFBlue]

this. It's a systematic one-sided screw job. Let team A play physical, anything close to legit on team b, call it.

I didn't see the Spurs relentlessly attacking the rim and forcing the refs to make a decision. They lived and died by the three, or took desperation shots out of the rhythm of the offense. On defense you can say whatever you want about the free throw disparity, but thats no excuse for being thoroughly out-hustled and out-rebounded. Garbage performance all around from everyone except Manu.

[BermudaSooner]

And still the Spurs would have won the game if they didn't play like total shit.

you guys are funny. Actually it would be 3-0 OKC if The thunder would have played better in games 1 and 2

[sammy]

True! That's when it got out of hand! No matter driving down the lane, hacked but no call but any barely graze or no touch instant call or and 1! Case in point bitch Adams on Timmy's back no call but Timmy doesn't even touch that bitch on the next play , foul on Timmy WTF!

[spurtech09]

you guys are funny. Actually it would be 3-0 OKC if The thunder would have played better in games 1 and 2um no your funny dude lol....keep thinking that

[hsxvvd]

Game 4.

First Quarter: OKC 8 FTA v. SA 0 FTA.

It continues.

[poop]

10-0 so far. Almost halftime and not a single foul has been called in the paint on okc. Not one.

[Rummpd]

10 zero to start game 4

[Rummpd]

FTS FINALLY
