Game 4: Western Conference Finals / Spurs vs Thunderefs @ OKC!

[slick'81]

Yes play Joseph more fck patty in hit his series tbh

[rasuo214]

COJO better play over Mills in Game 5.

[ballhog]

Joseph posterizing Ibaka!!!!

[spurspokesman]

cojo got nuts

[TheGoldStandard]

SOmeone with balls.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Why the fuck are our starters on the bench laughing?

God when did this team get to be such faggots?

[downunder]

Anyonw know if Mills injured. Why isn't Po giving him time on the Court ?

[4down]

Cojo has to show them

[Budkin]

OH SHIT!!!!!

[smaka]

So if Abaka is injured, why the hell is he playing against our scrubs?

Btw CoJo good one

[weebo]

Cojo showing how its done

[ontheraise]

okc go to the ft line on evry fuckin possession @jokethunderref

[slick'81]

Take that spear chuckedchucked

[noles1983]

why dont we play CJ more? he isnt bitch made

[Mal]

And guess what was another OKC possesion :lmao

[KaiRMD1]

Cojo just posterized Ibaka, the warrior

[$pursDynasty]

ah American toughness, which the Spurs lack usually going to the hole, CoJo

[ballhog]

Just start fouling Adams

[TheGoldStandard]

LOL... And of course they pull him

[gilmor]

Where was this against Portland? Stars won that series?

You can't compare Portland to OKC.. Different teams different mentality..

Heat will match up better with OKC than Spurs..

[slick'81]

Why the fuck are our starters on the bench laughing?

God when did this team get to be such faggots?


They know the deal been there done that

[RD2191]

CAN I GET A WHAT WHAT

[SpurPadre]

I didn't Cojo can dunk

[jARS mEsH sEt]

OKC players are riding the same high Spurs players were riding after our first two blowout wins. Their overconfidence could get the better of them in game 5.

[Two10Whitey]

STUPID SHIT!!! PULLING OUT CORY HAHHAHAA WOOOW.

[ElNono]

Then why was he the only one you called out?

Did I call him out? I said I wondered what was after "mad"... I don't remember anybody else saying stuff like that.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

CAN I GET A WHAT WHAT

That song is gay as fuck :lmao

[dg7md]

Even Reggie was impressed by that dunk. :lol Our only highlight.

[KaiRMD1]

They took out Cojo, Pop really doesn't want to win this game lol

[TheGoldStandard]

and we go back to jump shots. great job Pop

[BillMc]

I know this old, but it just seems the Thunder get to the line half the time.

[hitmanyr2k]

Give me a break Mills. You had Bonner wide the fuck open. Try to get the man a shot instead of shooting over three defenders.

[$pursDynasty]

wow Cojo goes hard to the hole and Pop takes him out.

[BatManu20]

If only Cojo wasn't such a terrible shooter tbh.. He could be a real player

[weebo]

Mills just fucking sucks

[tim_duncan_fan]

Now CoJo's out. He forgot that dunking is against the team rules.

[Gino-Step]

HACK A SERGE HE CAN"T SHOOT FT's WITH THIS CALF

[slick'81]

Lol okc starters going hard vs our scrubs

[.G.]

Fucking refs...Diaw got shoved in the back going for that rebound.

[mclinejr]

Pop is a chess player. He doesn't want to give OKC bulletin board material.

[timtonymanu]

They took out Cojo, Pop really doesn't want to win this game lol

He has 5 fouls

[smaka]

What the hell is wrong with Pop? Now benches Joseph who was the only one playing well.

[Budkin]

FUCKING BAILOUT BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[noles1983]

OKC players are riding the same high Spurs players were riding after our first two blowout wins. Their overconfidence could get the better of them in game 5.

except we beat them without their starter, they have dominated with our whole team

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

COJO playing great, Mills goes in and immediately missed a dumb shot. Yep, COJO deserves backup minutes over Mills.

[Splits]

Pull. Errors

hack Adams

[slick'81]

Cojo needed a blow maybe mills gets some looks

[Two10Whitey]

Yes.. CoJo can dunk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY3qous5yEM

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That's a nice look from Patty.

[Snaq O'Meal]

ah American toughness, which the Spurs lack usually going to the hole, CoJo

Except CoJo's not an American.

[TheGoldStandard]

wow Cojo goes hard to the hole and Pop takes him out.

Pop: We don't want to win that way

[Budkin]

:lol Ayers

[Aus10]

Can we have Austin Daye out there instead of Jeff Pendergraph for the rest of this series. Dude is useless.

[jag]

lol anyone who thinks you'll see a different Spurs team in Game 5. This IS the Spurs.

They'll be lucky to keep it respectable in Game 5 and 6.

[ElNono]

Cojo starts for Danny in Game 5?

[RD2191]

Now Green is in?? ROFL POP

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Yep, screw Mills, play COJO.

[slick'81]

Or mills can keep being mills

[BatManu20]

Cojo > Mills

[jARS mEsH sEt]

except we beat them without their starter, they have dominated with our whole team

Our 3rd string is running our offense better than our starters..and that's against westbrick and Durbeta. There's upside for our starters.

[Mal]

My god Patty

[weebo]

Mills just shot himself out of the next game :lol

[01Snake]

Pop resting CoJo for Game 5

[Budkin]

Mills WTF!!!!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Good Job Mills.

[SpurPadre]

Mills just lost his backup duties for the rest of this series.

[slick'81]

Lol Westbrook talking shit scoring over mills

[Beaverfuzz]

Green is back in because Marco is GASSED!

[Strategic]

Hack Adams til he can't see straight.

[4down]

Pop gotta tell every fucker on that team if they dont drive in and try to dunk on ibaka they owe him a car. anything but the floaters and soft shit and jumpers

[$pursDynasty]

Pop: We don't want to win that way
obviously, we win the euro way or not at all

[Budkin]

Fuck Westbrook

[TheGoldStandard]

Joseph doesn't need rest, he never plays, he needs the burn for his cardio

[KaiRMD1]

We actually had a chance until they took Cojo out

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah, Danny Green off the dribble. That works. Why are they even out there if they're not going to run offense? That's the same shit that lost the game.

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck. And we start settling for jumpers again

[crc21209]

If I'm Pop...I show the entire team that clip of CoJo dunking all over Ibaka. Thats your THIRD STRING PG going at him! There shouldnt be any excuse for guys like Manu and Kawhi to take it at him like that. Dont be scared you fucks!

[$pursDynasty]

put Cojo back in, take Bonner out he ain't done nothing

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Gosh, for the first time in my life, I WANT a player to get injured. Screw Westbrook, I hope he has a compound fracture.

[ontheraise]

we missed to much opportunities to come back in the game it s now officialy over for good

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop gotta tell every fucker on that team if they dont drive in and try to dunk on ibaka they owe him a car

He'll have 12 new cars

[Mal]

Green, Mills have not a fucking clue..

[jag]

I fucking hate Westbrook

[slick'81]

Joseph doesn't need rest, he never plays, he needs the burn for his cardio
your right I think someone mentioned he had 5 fouls

[Cherry]

:hang

[KaiRMD1]

Cojo is for this series as is "aggressive Diaw" just sayin

[ezau]

Joseph's Dunk:


https://vine.co/v/Mdb1JDiMq0A

[noles1983]

jesus christ every time durant backs down, fuck you refs

[$pursDynasty]

why did we stop posting up Bobo, if he is in the game use him.

[TheGoldStandard]

If I'm Pop...I show the entire team that clip of CoJo dunking all over Ibaka. Thats your THIRD STRING PG going at him! There shouldnt be any excuse for guys like Manu and Kawhi to take it at him like that. Dont be scared you fucks!

And then promptly show that he pulled him right after that.. because you know he had play 40+ minutes this game and wasn't doing well at all..

[Baam]

Mills fucked everything up...

[smaka]

Just a little something before I go to sleep: Chimpy blew his load in this game, will be back to shooting 6-22 or something like that in game 5. Feel free to quote this in 2 days, tbh.

[RD2191]

I blame the refs, I will always blame the refs against OKC. Fuck em. Fuck em all. Spurs better play with some passion. I don't give a fuck if we lose to the Heat. Just don't lose to the faggiest team in NBA history.

[Prose]

Patty can't gaurd rw..where's cojo. He better fucking be resting for heavy min in game 5.

[Mugen]

You play to win...your starters are your best players

:lol Uh not according to the last 6 games against OKC w a healthy Ibaka tbh. The Spurs had zero chance of making a comeback based on what we saw for 2.5 quarters.

The benchwarmers showed more heart and moved the ball much better than I've see any rotation player do in the last 2 games tbh.

[SupremeGuy]

Pop: We don't want to win that waylol so fucking true... We don't want to show anyone up guys, please lol fucking pop

[SpurPadre]

Green just as worthless these past two games as he was all of the '12 WCF.

[.G.]

Gosh, for the first time in my life, I WANt a player to get injured. Screw Westbrook, I hope he has a compound fracture.

Because Milks is a midget SG...

[myhc]

I saw beautiful ball movement and open shits. Then Mills jacks up a shit, then Green jacks up a shot. LOL. I want to see Corey Joseph in game 5.

[sammy]

I fucking hate Westbrook

Yeah, me too! I'd celebrate if ayers just took his knee out! Sweep the leg ayers!

[jARS mEsH sEt]

jesus christ every time durant backs down, fuck you refs

That was ticky tack bull shit, I agree, but he hasn't lived off of that this game, tbh...

He usually does live off of bullshit like that in other games.

[slick'81]

No mills all cojo in game 5 hell bench splitter and start bonner lol

[703 Spurz]

Westbrook with 40:55 of game-time in a game that wasn't close at the start of the 3rd quarter. He's also made as many FTs as the whole Spurs team has.

[spurspokesman]

Cory Joseph earning some game 5 minutes

[4down]

Pop too proud to adjust

[.G.]

Actually liked the ball movement from the 3rd stringers

[Capt Bringdown]

Great. Our scrubs can hold their own against OKC in a blowout.
Pop and his 11th Dimension Chess moves.

[jag]

chimp needs to tear an acl

I hope his knee explodes on national television

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop's strategy never makes sense.. We're losing so let me pull my starters so they'll have less confidence.. they're last moments of the game were playing so shitty that they were benched... great idea.. wait we get a spark from our bench.. fuck it, lets bring in cold shooters who won't drive the paint.. We play our 3rd string bench minutes as if they'll get burn in game 5 but they won't unless it's a blowout. Should play his regular rotation all game long despite being blown out, get them to know some shots maybe they learn to go into the paint and stop being cowards. Insert player here and there to get some rest and see if they have better rotations by inserting said player

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol Uh not according to the last 6 games against OKC w a healthy Ibaka tbh. The Spurs had zero chance of making a comeback based on what we saw for 2.5 quarters.

I'm gonna laugh if the Spurs get blown out in Game 5. This game was winnable early in the 4th. Every game is precious in the playoffs. You don't treat this shit like you're in the regular season on a back to back.

[smaka]

Brooks is a dumbass. Plays Durant, Chimp and "injured" spearchucker in garbage time.

[TDfan2007]

I'm shocked...fuck our starters tbh.

[Budkin]

Unbelievable calls. smfh

[KaiRMD1]

Derrick Rose moment could wind up happening if Brooks isn't careful

[SpurPadre]

Manu laughing on the bench just because Cojo dunked disgusted me. He's known to be a tremendous competitor and he pulls some preseason behavior?

[slick'81]

I'm gonna laugh if the Spurs get blown out in Game 5. This game was winnable early in the 4th. Every game is precious in the playoffs. You don't treat this shit like you're in the regular season on a back to back.


Pop does it's the spurs way

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

And then promptly show that he pulled him right after that.. because you know he had play 40+ minutes this game and wasn't doing well at all..

He has 5 fouls...

[slick'81]

Brooks is a dumbass. Plays Durant, Chimp and "injured" spearchucker in garbage time.

It's what brooks does it's the thunder way

[TheGoldStandard]

He has 5 fouls...

And???

[.G.]

Matt Bonner Basketball!!!!

[SupremeGuy]

CoJo played great against OKC? Better never play him again...

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Is this our starting lineup for game 5?

[$pursDynasty]

CoJo is the man

[Budkin]

Bonner 3333333333

[ElNono]

damn Cojo our secret weapon

[slick'81]

Lol that's right Durant look at that's score fckn faggots

[TheGoldStandard]

Too bad this team won't start against OKC.. Shitty Starting 5 will start and shit the bed hard.

[Budkin]

Dude I don't care about this loss now. We are figuring this shit out!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Wall of words. Here, let Phil Jackson say the same thing in two words: Simulator Crew

[noles1983]

red rocket!!

[spurspokesman]

Red rocket will steal it for us

[Two10Whitey]

Bonner with four 3's in a row coming up,

[ElNono]

:lol Uh not according to the last 6 games against OKC w a healthy Ibaka tbh. The Spurs had zero chance of making a comeback based on what we saw for 2.5 quarters.

The benchwarmers showed more heart and moved the ball much better than I've see any rotation player do in the last 2 games tbh.

You play them, IMO. OKC has been shooting 34% this half. it's the WCF for christ sake

[noles1983]

Dude I don't care about this loss now. We are figuring this shit out!!!

starters arent figuring shit out

[01Snake]

No reason Kawhi shouldn't be taking that shit to the rim like Cojo.

[rasuo214]

CoJo the difference maker.

[servalli]

Trade starters tbh

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

For the first time in my life, I want a player to get injured, and that player is Westbrook. Screw him.

[.G.]

Dude I don't care about this loss now. We are figuring this shit out!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Dude I don't care about this loss now. We are figuring this shit out!!!

Play our 3rd stringers?

[hommeaetage]

A couple stop and a couple 3 pointers...is that too much to ask at this point?

[hyhy]

New starting lineup, or at least, new bench next game!!

[smaka]

It's what brooks does it's the thunder way
Yeah but it is like waiting for injury to happen.

[TheGoldStandard]

No reason Kawhi shouldn't be taking that shit to the rim like Cojo.

He's a coward

[TDfan2007]

Obviously OKC has dialed down their intensity, so most of this is meaningless, but at least our scrubs are attempting to move the ball.

[RD2191]

This would be down to 6 if the refs weren't fucking the Spurs over.

[slick'81]

Okc getting frustrated not being able to butt fuck our scrubs like they did our starting 5

[SupremeGuy]

We need to send Kawhi in NOW

[SpurPadre]

Bonner a three this late in the year? I've seen it all now.

[spurtech09]

backups playing better than the spurs starters?

[spurspokesman]

Be funny if we hit 2 more 3s unanswered

[sammy]

Lol at Durant! Fucking bitches getting schooled by our 3rd string!

[bklynspursfan]

Think Pop pulls the starting Manu card next game? Or Diaw? Having another ball handler on the court while OKC has 3 is desperately needed

[blkroadrunners]

Brooks is a dumbass. Plays Durant, Chimp and "injured" spearchucker in garbage time.

Probable the most pampered coach in the league, tbh

[cd98]

Cojo will get PT at home.

[spurtech09]

This would be down to 6 if the refs weren't fucking the Spurs over.never know..

[Splits]

As long as Scotty is playing his Chimp and spearchucker in garbage time... Where's that Somali pirate, any chance he returns?

[noles1983]

i would die laughing if pop started this group game 5. fuck the starters they deserve the get humiliated

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

A couple stop and a couple 3 pointers...is that too much to ask at this point?

In order to get a stop no fouls would have to be called, and well, that's not happening.

[Budkin]

Feeling pretty confident going into Game 5 tbh.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

:lmao OKCfan is so fucking stupid. Most people in this thread have literally said all night long the reffing has been fine overall.


Their team got run in this game, and they are whining about a PG chewing up their butt by heading to the basket. It is as if they have never watched a basketball game before where one team continues to attack the hoop. The only reason the Spurs even made a run was because they stopped standing around casting up horrible shots and moved the ball and got to the rim, alongside OKC's defensive pressure falling off. Westbrook was attacking the hoop with wreckless abandon because he knew he could get himself a great shot and get some points to continue styming the Spurs run.

[RD2191]

DAMMIT COJO

[4down]

Never seen a team and coach so afraid of one dude

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Oh man COJO! Oh well, he played great.

[Fireball]

since the 2nd/3rd unit is in the game OKC got nearly all of its points from the FT line ... is that so or am I imagining that?

[EVAY]

Parker shot 7 for 12, 4 or 5 assists, three turnovers.

ginobili had 1 for 4 shots, 3 personal fouls and no assists.

Leonard shot 30% shooting. Duncan with 40% shooting and a few rebounds.

Splitter was a no show.

Green was a no show outside of three turnovers and one made basket.

We were out rebounded in this game worse than we were in the last game.

We are not going in the right direction and it is not on our pg this time, so who is it on? All of them? Duncan and Pop were jawing at each other.

Are the spurs imploding?

[BatManu20]

Cojo cheeses a wide open lay up of course

[TheGoldStandard]

Feeling pretty confident going into Game 5 tbh.

How?

[RD2191]

Mills can't fucking buy one. Damn.

[SpurPadre]

Love Cojo' s hustle but he struggles to finish.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Holy shit thunder fans is literally full of retards :lmao

[weebo]

I'm gonna laugh if the Spurs get blown out in Game 5. This game was winnable early in the 4th. Every game is precious in the playoffs. You don't treat this shit like you're in the regular season on a back to back.

This.

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck, that CoJo miss was big.

[spurtech09]

should the back ups start game 5

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Screw Patty Mills. Done with him and Marco. Play COJO and give Green extended minutes, keep Mills and Marco on the bench.

[KaiRMD1]

Yo, next game, our boys better wake the fuck up. The white flag crew brought them back for god's sake

[slick'81]

More' Diaw,bonner,cojo less splitter,mills and green

[RD2191]

SHOOT THE FUCKING 3

[noles1983]

Feeling pretty confident going into Game 5 tbh.

:lol

[dg7md]

Our bench has been great, though. For what that is worth, kept their damn starters in the game.

[hitmanyr2k]

No reason Kawhi shouldn't be taking that shit to the rim like Cojo.

If Popovich actually put him in a position to succeed perhaps he could take it to the rim. Throwing the ball to him while he's stationary and asking him to create off the dribble is not his game yet. Parker and Ginobili get screens all fuckin day. Kawhi gets NONE. I'll never understand that shit.

[slick'81]

All I'll say is remember this Duncan,tony ,Manu

[703 Spurz]

Parker shot 7 for 12, 4 or 5 assists, three turnovers.

ginobili had 1 for 4 shots, 3 personal fouls and no assists.

Leonard shot 30% shooting. Duncan with 40% shooting and a few rebounds.

Splitter was a no show.

Green was a no show outside of three turnovers and one made basket.

We were out rebounded in this game worse than we were in the last game.

We are not going in the right direction and it is not on our pg this time, so who is it on? All of them? Duncan and Pop were jawing at each other.

Are the spurs imploding?

Parker was 7 for 12 actually

[Mugen]

You play them, IMO. OKC has been shooting 34% this half. it's the WCF for christ sake

Yup, it's the WCF and they haven't showed up in 2 games. They've shown zero heart and played scared in OKC. I'd rather them see how much success the scrubs had than try and pull of the most unlikely comeback in playoff history tbh.

[RD2191]

DAMMIT PATTY

[spurtech09]

hope the spurs respond well at home.....spurs look weak

[SupremeGuy]

Why didn't Baynes throw that down?

[.G.]

Of course the n!gger chimp gets a "proper" send off by sending him to line

[mclinejr]

Westbitch and Durant with some MASSIVE playing time.

[BatManu20]

Mills can no longer have the label of a "shooter" tbh. Having one good game shooting every 5-6 games doesn't make you a good shooter.

[Two10Whitey]

We may have made a comeback if Mills hit his shots. :bang

[703 Spurz]

Westbrook played all but 2 minutes of the game. What the hell is Brooks doing?

[vander]

too bad patty couldn't get a couple of those 3's to fall...

[Capt Bringdown]

Scrubs or starters, does it matter?

OKC in control, that's what matters.

[dg7md]

Mills can no longer have the label of a "shooter" tbh. Having one good game shooting every 5-6 games doesn't make you a good shooter.

He's a little like Lance Stephenson in that he can be completely on fire or be completely useless and a turnover machine.

[noles1983]

lol faggot thunder fans, if they win the west they are getting swept

[703 Spurz]

Oh and Westbrook has also attempted just 4 less FTs than the whole Spurs team.

[Budkin]

Couple shots away from getting it to single digits with OUR BENCH.

[Capt Bringdown]

Westbrook played all but 2 minutes of the game. What the hell is Brooks doing?

He's been in a slump. Now he's back. Good coaching. Minutes, schminutes. OKC can do what they want against us.

[hitmanyr2k]

Reggie Miller really hates the Spurs lol.

[slick'81]

Scrubs or starters, does it matter?

OKC in control, that's what matters.


Yup up safe to say outcome would of been the same pop praying this wakes his guys up if they don't play with intensity sit the fuck down

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Well, I was worried going into game 5, but seeing the bench play like this, I'm not. Sure OKC got the win, but with the bench playing like this, I think this gives the team confidence going into next game and they'll play with aggression. Also, Brooks was a retard and played Westbrook way too much and he'll tire for next game. Westbrook won't play that well again, but with a 40 point game, he'll shot too much. I think Spurs take game 5 and win it in 6.

[KaiRMD1]

Can't believe spurs had a better chance with Ayres on the floor than Duncan

[slick'81]

Reggie Miller really hates the Spurs lol.


Ringless anarexic prick

[SpurPadre]

Fuck you fisher

[RD2191]

Just win Game 5.

[dg7md]

Play Bonner in game 5. Bonner and CoJo.

[slick'81]

2-2

[BatManu20]

:lol Fisher padding his stats

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Hey we won the 4th quarter!

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs gotta take care of home court... less mills and splitter.. more cojo and diaw for game 5. Bonner earned some minutes too.

[Beaverfuzz]

Yes folks, 71 points from the big two, no one else had over nine. Think long and hard about how you're going to defend at least one of those two.

[dg7md]

Just win Game 5.

And 6 or 7.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Couple shots away from getting it to single digits with OUR BENCH.

It was a fluke. The Thunder had winded themselves down. If we dare start our 3rd string in game 5, OKC will eviscerate them too. And maybe to a greater extent.

[BatManu20]

Westbrook's stat line: 40 pts, 10 asts, 5 rbs, 5 stls

[slick'81]

Spurs 0-last 9 in okc

[$pursDynasty]

Splitter is not for this series

[TheGoldStandard]

Well, I was worried going into game 5, but seeing the bench play like this, I'm not.

I think Spurs take game 5 and win it in 6.

Too bad our bench isn't our starters.. They'll get blocked 1 time and then get terrified of the paint and shoot contested jumpers and let them run. They have shown nothing about aggression, they talked about it but they just can't do it. Old tired legs

[weebo]

Start Diaw next game and give Cojo Mill's minutes....start there pop

[Chinook]

"Spurs won the second half. They've got this." -- Wes Matthews

[daslicer]

The bench played with no fear that is why they did so well out there. Hopefully the starters play with the same aggression.

[RD2191]

I doubt Westbrook drops 40 again, tbh. How sweet would it be to win Game 5 and finally get a win in OKC and close these fucks out.

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs 0-last 9 in okc

What about okc in San Antonio?

[hitmanyr2k]

If the Spurs didn't learn anything after Game 3 I'm not sure why anyone expects them to learn anything after Game 4.

[TheGoldStandard]

I doubt Westbrook drops 40 again, tbh. How sweet would it be to win Game 5 and finally get a win in OKC and close these fucks out.

Durant hasn't dropped 40 yet.

No one was talking about starting our 3rd stringers. I think we did learn something about our reserves tonight: Joseph deserves some minutes over mills. M

This was the game where Russ/KD would go off. There was a good chance it would happen in this series. Spurs have to make some legit defensive adjustments, move the ball better, and shorten the rotation.

I'd start with Diaw starting and CoJo getting minutes next game.

As bad as they've been these last two games, I think they'll respond in Game 5. Must win tbh.

[Budkin]

Play our 3rd stringers?

No, just watching how they played. All hustle. Great ball movement.

[$pursDynasty]

I doubt Westbrook drops 40 again, tbh. How sweet would it be to win Game 5 and finally get a win in OKC and close these fucks out.
That's what I am seeing but if worse comes to worse we have home court.

[BillMc]

Jesus we shot under 40% for 2 straight games.

[slick'81]

What about okc in San Antonio?
well c game 5 :wakeup:wakeup

[$pursDynasty]

In this series Splitter goes behind Baynes in rotation. And CoJo might need to graduate into the foreign legion 2nd unit.

game 5 a must win goes without saying or else it is 12 all over again

Yup, it's the WCF and they haven't showed up in 2 games. They've shown zero heart and played scared in OKC. I'd rather them see how much success the scrubs had than try and pull of the most unlikely comeback in playoff history tbh.

OKC has blown 20pts leads twice at home this season, with Ibaka... that's why you don't pull the plug. I love Pop, but I hate when he does that. I mean, I can't even buy the avoiding injury bullshit. It's the WCF, this is what you rest your guys for. Play Cojo if you think he's going to do something, but don't shut it down.

[J_Paco]

Damn, what a terrible turn of events. And to think they killed us with Nick Collison and Thabo Sefolosha glued to the bench. Spurs need to find their nuts and play like their lives are on the line on Thursday.

Can't teach hustle.

[ElNono]

2nd must-win game of the season coming up...

[$pursDynasty]

TP, DG, KL, BD and TD first unit, .......CoJo, Patty, Manu, Splitter Baynes 2nd unit...Marco, Ayers and Bonner are the scrubs.

[hitmanyr2k]

Depending on Cory Joseph to play big minutes in a pressure-filled Game 5 of the WCF is asking a bit much lol. We all know what's going to happen here. Ginobili played no minutes in the 2nd half. He's getting the start in Game 5 and will play big minutes in that game to get a desperate win.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop can't admit his defense scheme is shit

[mclinejr]

lol Pop press conference.

Totally agree, but Pop has had this defeatist mindset for a while now. Doubt he'll change in between games 4 & 5.

The Spurs need to post up and attack Durant when the Thunder go small. There were 5 or 6 straight possessions where Durant was on Diaw and he never saw the ball.

[boutons_deux]

spurs got no balls.
quitters

The Thunder play better against the Spurs than any other team tbh. They up their game an entire level, they're not nearly the same team against Memphis, Clippers, and other scrub teams tbh.

The team is old. They've all admittedly gotten tired and looked tired even when there's days between in the playoffs tbh. Any time you can buy them rest, you do it especially when they looked absolutely heartless/terrible for 2.5 quarters.

I think Green/Kawhi should have gotten some minutes in the 4th but it's Pop. I don't agree with him on many occasions but I'm with him on this one.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I love how Pop acts like reporters are asking stupid questions with obvious answers when he has NO solutions for any of the problems OKC presents.

You don't get to act like a smart-ass when it looks like you don't have any answers.

[TheGoldStandard]

And Cojo won't get more minutes.. Has Pop shown any sign that he is willing to change his rotations? Same game plan..

[jARS mEsH sEt]

:lmao stupid ass low IQ thunder reporter asking about the "miscommunication" between Pop and Duncan. That's not miscommunication retard. That's just heated communication.
