Game 5: Western Conference Finals- Thunder @ Spurs

[ontheraise]

is that the 4th on ginobili or the 3rd??

[DPG21920]

Close out this Q, Spurs.

[TE]

Good foul Manu :lol. Swipe harder next time.

[Spurs9]

Durrant tripping on ginobilis nose.

[Capt Bringdown]

Critical moment. Spurs can't become unhinged by the refs.

[RD2191]

Dude, Play CoJo.

[ElNono]

good foul

[Chinook]

Another foul on a soft-close... You seeing this ElNono ?

[Slippy]

Well done Manu.. if you're going to foul. give'em shot to the face atleast.

[moisaenz]

brooks running his players into the ground

[Rummpd]

Durant misses 2 FTs unreal

[ElNono]

Another foul on a soft-close... You seeing this ElNono ?

:lol excellent foul... missed both, tbh

[spurspokesman]

Ginobili laying the smack down lol

[Crookshanks]

Geez, Durant barely gets touched, and he's falling all over the place like he got clothes lined.

[Capt Bringdown]

Obvious the refs are trying to get OKC back in the game. Fuck these cats.

[noles1983]

i like that foul

[100%duncan]

YEESSSS

[Horry Hipcheck]

lol at blaming the players for flopping rather than criticizing the refs for being stupid robots and not actually refereeing.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpUc44bbJnMypH65uFItyHxRmLcPFFE tcjP8UiX9dg0MHpMtceRQ

[100%duncan]

:lol travel

[ElNono]

Manu taking over

[TE]

That's an offensive foul. Not a travel.

[007nites]

Timmy with 22 and 13 in 3 quarters

[Horry Hipcheck]

Obvious the refs are trying to get OKC back in the game. Fuck these cats.

Spurs are still stretching that ass, though.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili has played an A- game tonight. If it were for a few blown defensive assignments it would be an A+++++

[Beaverfuzz]

Marv, Westbrick playing all that time has nothing to do with tonight.

[Arcadian]

Why did Collins have to qualify Duncan's achievement by saying "they play more playoff games these days"? You're god damn right it's "impressive" you fuck.

[RD2191]

Close the 3rd out strong!

[Slippy]

Durant misses 2 FTs unreal

amazing what a shot to the face can do. lol

[Crookshanks]

brooks running his players into the ground

Good! That bodes well for the 4th quarter and for game 6.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Leonard rebounding like Fisher.

[Beaverfuzz]

FLAGRANT!

[RD2191]

FUCK YOU BUTLER! PIECE OF SHIT!

[slick'81]

Thats a flagrant fuck that

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu to Mills: Don't move... don't move

[ontheraise]

stoppppppppp movinnnnnnnnnnnn

[moisaenz]

Manu yelling!

[TE]

Nah. Hard foul. Nothing more.

[100%duncan]

Hey Reggie, how's a ringless life? faggot

[Horry Hipcheck]

Good fake by Manu, and Manu stepping in to be a veteran leader on Mills. Love it.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good to see Manu telling Patty where he should be...that's coaching/teaching on the job.

[tim_duncan_fan]

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpUc44bbJnMypH65uFItyHxRmLcPFFE tcjP8UiX9dg0MHpMtceRQ
As a player, if you're gonna get freethrows out of it every other time, why would you NOT flop?

The league execs and referees need to stop being shitty criminals and correct the game's problems.

[Captivus]

Yes Manu, more yelling, thats what the Spurs need!!! MAN UP!

[RD2191]

GUARD THE WESTBROOK 3!!!! PLEASE

[spursparker9]

lol Fucking Kerr

[slick'81]

Manu is pissed

[DPG21920]

Kerr getting annoyed with Reggie.

[BatManu20]

Adams out rebounds our guys almost every time

[007nites]

lol Kerr counting us out for game 6

[RD2191]

Adams punching people for the rebound, no call.

[hitmanyr2k]

This ball movement better travel to OKC in 2 days.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs are playing so much more aggressively tonight. They're getting to the loose balls and pulling down the rebounds - and look at what a difference it makes - Spurs are up by 20!

[RD2191]

Fluke 3 coming up.

[Captivus]

good foul

No aids request Nono?

[DPG21920]

Kerr legitimately annoyed with Reggie :lol

[SpurPadre]

Kerr is more annoying than Reggie, tbh. Reggie gives us a chance for Game 6 but that piece of shit who forgot he used to be a Spur, Kerr is already penciling in Game 7.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tiago is such a faggot.

"He touched me so now I can't finish putting up a shot!"

Soft ass.

[TE]

Adams out rebounds our guys almost every time
He's the white hybrid of Ibaka and Perkins, without the mid-range shot.

[TE]

Lol love the chant

[BatManu20]

Are those "Ole'" chants I'm hearing? lol

[Uriel]

What is the crowd chanting?

[gilmor]

Jesus fucking christ.. I love Manu..

[Rummpd]

Splitter with a positive move and foul shots first a thing of beauty 2nd a bad miss

[Beaverfuzz]

Great third quarter.

108 points wins this ballgame.

[Horry Hipcheck]

This ball movement better travel to OKC in 2 days.

This. It probably won't. But this.

[Tuddy]

Spurs are done

[TheGoldStandard]

12 more minutes Spurs... keep your shit together

[ontheraise]

yeah like that stop the bitch

[hitmanyr2k]

Kerr is more annoying than Reggie, tbh. Reggie gives us a chance for Game 6 but that piece of shit who forgot he used to be a Spur, Kerr is already penciling in Game 7.

Reggie seems to hate the Spurs lol. When the game goes back to OKC he's going to shit all over SA.

[Capt Bringdown]

Not over yet. Finish the job, boys.

[spursparker9]

Fuck u Kerr u lucky shit of a bastard to play Jordan and Duncan

[TE]

I love these fellow Mexicans in SA :lol

[timtonymanu]

Game is still far from over. Execute for at least 6 minutes and this should be good to go.

[TheRemix]

Spurs are done

?

[ace3g]

lol

[Mal]

Pop was right about HCA

[Horry Hipcheck]

20 points SHOULD be insurmountable in one quarter. Should be.

[myhc]

Yes! Love that strong finish! Cojo did a fine job contesting that shot. Let's finish this!!

[slick'81]

Spurs are playing so much more aggressively tonight. They're getting to the loose balls and pulling down the rebounds - and look at what a difference it makes - Spurs are up by 20!


Home court and little fire will do that

[xtremesteven33]

KD and RW look tired as fuck.

[hommeaetage]

Keep the foot on their neck

[Capt Bringdown]

Splitter with a positive move and foul shots first a thing of beauty 2nd a bad miss

I think he's going to be big against Miami. If we get there.

[RD2191]

The slightest sign of a run and call a timeout, can't let this get down to 10.

[ElNono]

Pop should be waving the white flag any minute now, tbh... :lol

[TE]

lol

[Rummpd]

Going to be a stud in a couple of years....................if he develops a shot ala Ibaka Thunder will have best front line in basketball

[SpurPadre]

I love these fellow Mexicans in SA :lol

What do you mean?

[100%duncan]

Don't worry our guys will have the chance to shit on Kerr next year when we blow his team's asses out.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Whoever are the starters for the 4th quarter, they need to come out shooting the lights out and making OKC run after them. They need to tire them as much as possible for this game, and in the big picture, for what remains in the series.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Reggie seems to hate the Spurs lol. When the game goes back to OKC he's going to shit all over SA.

Absolutely loves the Spurs until they're playing OKC, and then all he can do is tout the Thunder.

[ducks]

game is Saturday plenty of rest for spurs

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs are done

So much time left. Keep your foot on the gas.

[Chinook]

Kerr is more annoying than Reggie, tbh. Reggie gives us a chance for Game 6 but that piece of shit who forgot he used to be a Spur, Kerr is already penciling in Game 7.

He said there's a good chance, and there is. OKC should be favored on Saturday. Miller's just being an idiot and misunderstanding. As I said before, Reggie's inability to be right is a fundamental part of the universe.

[SpurPadre]

KD and RW look tired as fuck.

That's what happens when they stat-whore and showboat just for dunking on d-leaguers in garbage time.

[TE]

What do you mean?
Ole chant.

I hope he keeps it going. He will match Thibs brilliant coaching of the 2011 postseason.

[Malik Hairston]

Reggie seems to hate the Spurs lol. When the game goes back to OKC he's going to shit all over SA.

Reggie loves Westbrook due to the UCLA connection..the only team he loves more is the Clippers, I've never heard a national announcer so biased towards a team, tbh:lol..

So I don't think he hates the Spurs, he just loves the Thunder and Clippers..

[hommeaetage]

i won't feel comfortable 'til we're leading by 25 under 2 mins, tbh

[slick'81]

Their doing that continue to play the way we are I love u pop

[TE]

I'm going to game 7.

[Capt Bringdown]

i won't feel comfortable 'til we're leading by 25 under 2 mins, tbh

Word

[hitmanyr2k]

Fuck u Kerr u lucky shit of a bastard to play Jordan and Duncan

I'll never forget Kerr hitting that game winner in Game 6 of the '97 Finals. And the awesome thing was Jordan told him he was going to get doubled so be ready for the shot. Rather than get intimidated by the G.O.A.T depending on him for the final shot Kerr hit nothing but the bottom of the net.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Box score is back. Ibaka's got 6 points on 3-9, only 2 blocks in 24 minutes.

[pgardn]

Mute on.

Spurs ahead and playing good basketball so Kerr, Miller, and Marv(I will bite your Hairpiece)Albert decide they want to argue instead of talking Bball.

[Beaverfuzz]

VERDE

Oh, ok. I didn't fully catch Kerr's comments and was going on Miller's words.

[ontheraise]

verdeeeeeeeeee

GREEEEENNN

[Captivus]

I wanna know what love is! I want you to show me!!

[Crookshanks]

Spurs doubled their lead in the 3rd quarter. 12 more minutes guys - keep your foot on the gas.

[Capt Bringdown]

I'm going to game 7.

Come on, now. Image if the Spurs kill OKC on their home court. Ecstasy.

[RD2191]

Mills coulda iced this shit, twice.

[100%duncan]

Cmon Patty

[hitmanyr2k]

Mills you have to make those knockout punches son.

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Mills

[Captivus]

Tiago didnt even try to get that rebound

[BatManu20]

Dammit Mills

omg Marco please go

[BatManu20]

Get Belli out. Now.

[Horry Hipcheck]

MARCO WITH THE WORST PASS IN HISTORY

[DDS4]

Tim freakin' Duncan. Just damn. How many 38 year old big men do you know still puts up numbers and defense like this?
Amazing.

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco with the shitty pass.. Lets get our unit back in soon.

[Captivus]

Really Belli!! REALLY!

[ontheraise]

bench belinelli

[DPG21920]

Beli, wow.

[Capt Bringdown]

Goddamn Marco. Worse than useless in this series.

[RD2191]

Jesus Marco, could you telegraph that anymore?
Ray Charles saw that one coming.

[Beaverfuzz]

At least Splitter threw up a shot and drew the foul. Nice work.

[ontheraise]

i wanna see spliter like that

[Tuddy]

?

Cliff Jumpers

[TE]

Ole ole ole ole ole

[SpurPadre]

Ole chant.

Right on cue as I type, lol.

[Horry Hipcheck]

If the AT&T Center doesn't stop chanting Ole I'm going to throw my computer through a window.

[Uriel]

The starters have expended a lot of energy in this game. Hopefully Pop keeps their assess glued to the bench the whole 4th.

[TDfan2007]

Ole Brazil chant by our crowd. Love it!

[RD2191]

Ole ole ole ole ole
:sombrero::sombrero::sombrero:

[Captivus]

Use the clock! lead is too big.

[Capt Bringdown]

Box score is back. Ibaka's got 6 points on 3-9, only 2 blocks in 24 minutes.
Maybe's come back down to earth? Credit him for playing out of his mind, but he's not that good, ffs.

pooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww veeeeeeeerddddddeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Horry Hipcheck]

DANNY FUCKING GREEN

[slick'81]

Yup Danny is better at home lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Green is ridiculous at home lol. That shot barely moved the net.

[Captivus]

VERDE!!

[Slippy]

great start. green shooting lights out. smart screen by the Splitt. fended 2 guys off

[Crookshanks]

Wow - Spurs have more offensive rebounds than the Thunder tonight. I can't believe home court is this much of an advantage. After all, the Spurs are one of the best road teams.

[timtonymanu]

Don't like Mills and Marco together in the game. Fortunately, it didn't last long.

[Malik Hairston]

Danny needs to learn how to flop on 3s, tbh, he misses out on a lot of 4-point opportunities due to no-calls:lol..

[moisaenz]

what a difference spurs dont need to have their starters in the game to close it out.

[BatManu20]

Green is ridiculous at home lol. That shot barely moved the net.

"At home" being the key words there. But yea when he's on it's lights out.

[RD2191]

COJO COJO COJO

[Horry Hipcheck]

Maybe's come back down to earth? Credit him for playing out of his mind, but he's not that good, ffs.

Spurs have just blown right by him. They've also forced him into shots off the dribble instead of spot up elbow jumpers, and he's bricking.

[noles1983]

buenas noches roaches

[Beaverfuzz]

My man, you can't stop everything. You have to force them to shoot the lowest % shots you can. A walk up 36+ foot 3 is not a good shot for anyone. Especially Westbrook. He's made them. Let's see if that continues.

You can put a hand in his face. It's not rocket science.

[TE]

Danny needs to learn how to flop on 3s, tbh, he misses out on a lot of 4-point opportunities due to no-calls:lol..
:lol tbh

[Capt Bringdown]

Looks like Pop's moves in game 4 were right. OKC worn out. And perhaps the Spurs have rediscovered that they are men and not scared little girls.

[ontheraise]

apparently westbitch is mad

[moisaenz]

great start. green shooting lights out. smart screen by the Splitt. fended 2 guys off

great start?? you know its the last quarter?

[texmich]

wonder if westbrook in that movie

[crc21209]

Love it Green! :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Dag Green, give OKC some life! (just a little) Want these guys to use as much energy as possible

[Horry Hipcheck]

Danny needs to learn how to flop on 3s, tbh, he misses out on a lot of 4-point opportunities due to no-calls:lol..

He could get a lot I'm sure, but I really enjoy how pure of a shooter he is.

[myhc]

That's what happens when they stat-whore and showboat just for dunking on d-leaguers in garbage time.

Kerr is right about one thing. We got our asses kicked in game 4 but our bench played so hard and well at the end to force the thunder to keep their starters in for heavy minutes. You can see some of the effects of that now. I mean when's the last time KD missed 2 FT in a row?

[DPG21920]

You can put a hand in his face. It's not rocket science.

Ok poster named Beaverfuzz. You are correct. I was wrong. I didn't really see what you were talking about but I do now.

[Mal]

"At home" being the key words there. But yea when he's on it's lights out.

So dont lose a game at home

[timtonymanu]

Still feels like a half to play on that clock. Keep executing, Spurs.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Pop's giving me good shit this game. He's coaching. He's fucking COACHING.

[100%duncan]

Wow Pop :lol

[lefty]

Good W despite Enrique shitting the bed as usual

[tim_duncan_fan]

"I want you right here, chest to chest!"

[Captivus]

Ayres will dunk tonight...

[RD2191]

:lolrefs

[The_Coyote]

When was the last time the Spurs played in a game that wasn't a blowout?

[Mal]

Oh, there you are Tony Brothers

[DPG21920]

Glad that Pop can rest his starters unlike OKC when they have a lead.

[slick'81]

"I want you right here, chest to chest!"

Yes face up and defend don't play on his hip and let him drive he can't go thru u

[Slippy]

start to the 4th

[Rummpd]

Zebras calling a good game.............

[Beaverfuzz]

Sit Boris soon and bring in Baynes/Pendergraph.

[ontheraise]

diaw is the game mvp even if stat s doesn t shine so much

[davidbowie]

NEVER DOUBTED MY SPURS FOR A SECOND :-)

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Beaverfuzz]

When was the last time the Spurs played in a game that wasn't a blowout?

Game six vs Dallas?

[hitmanyr2k]

Zebras calling a good game.............

Looks to me like they're trying to get OKC in the penalty with some ticky tack fouls.

[DPG21920]

Beli has completely checked out. It's sad.

[Capt Bringdown]

I wanna see some Cojo.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I wanted that to go down for Verde so badly!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ginobili, btw, 7-9 FG, 3-4 from three, 19 points, 6 assists, AND ZERO TURNOVERS in 21 minutes. I know he's fucked us in many big games, but Manu is Mr. Game Five.

[Captivus]

Green was about to slow down but Mills said RUN!!

[timtonymanu]

CoJo needs to take Marco's minutes, honestly.

[100%duncan]

diaw is the game mvp even if stat s doesn t shine so much

Nah, Manu is.

[slick'81]

Bbbb but spurs can't win against okc with ibaka on the floor

[Capt Bringdown]

Ginobili, btw, 7-9 FG, 3-4 from three, 19 points, 6 assists, AND ZERO TURNOVERS in 21 minutes. I know he's fucked us in many big games, but Manu is Mr. Game Five.

Not my favorite, but he brought it tonite - for a change.

[007nites]

lol Splitter c'mon man

[Rummpd]

Splitter needs to dunk that...........

[bklynspursfan]

Manu with 19 points (7-9 shooting) and 6 assists in 21 minutes with 0 turnovers. Unbelievable game

[DPG21920]

Man, we have the worst team at finishing for And-1's :lol So many times they miss.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Splitter, finish through contact, goddamnit!

Just giving up points for nothing. So gay.

[BatManu20]

Splitter needs to learn to finish those and-1 opportunities tbh. He rarely does.

[RD2191]

CoJo bout to shit the bed I bet.:lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

7 long minutes to go but the Spurs have exorcised some big fucking demons tonight.

[Knoxxx]

Glad that Pop can rest his starters unlike OKC when they have a lead.

I called the Bonner start and also extreme fatigue would set in early and often for OKC.

[bklynspursfan]

Ginobili, btw, 7-9 FG, 3-4 from three, 19 points, 6 assists, AND ZERO TURNOVERS in 21 minutes. I know he's fucked us in many big games, but Manu is Mr. Game Five.

You beat me to it, I just posted his #'s too. Great game

[Crookshanks]

To be honest, games 3 and 4 didn't end up being blowouts. But games 1,2, and 5 have been thorough beatdowns.

[Splits]

Guess the RefKC streak of Tony Brothers reffing ends at 13!

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY THRILLS!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Manu with 19 points (7-9 shooting) and 6 assists in 21 minutes with 0 turnovers. Unbelievable game

Mr. Game Five.

[Rummpd]

33 lead take that OKC

[Knoxxx]

Spurs by 33 I think we got this one!

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow. The ball movement is BACK!

[r0drig0lac]

is now hope that the adjustments continue to work in oklahoma

[Mal]

HCA is great thing to have late in playoffs

[Beaverfuzz]

Splitter needs to learn to finish .


FIFY :lol :flag: :lobt2:

[smaka]

HCA is gold. Good thing, we have it.

[slick'81]

Wow. The ball movement is BACK!

The only diff soo far has been the crowds

[Crookshanks]

33-point blowout!!!!! The only bad thing is that Brooks now has his starters on the bench for the rest of the game. I kinda wanted them to expend more energy. I guess the Spurs shut up all the haters talking about a repeat of 2012!

[Arcadian]

:wow The Spurs reserves dominate the Thunder reserves

[Beaverfuzz]

Ok poster named Beaverfuzz. You are correct. I was wrong. I didn't really see what you were talking about but I do now.
