Christmas Day Game Thread: Thunder @ Spurs Dec. 25th, 2014

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

How does Westbrook get away with abusing the officials all game. Throwing arms up asking for foul every play.

[spurs10]

That's a two. Clean up on the glass and this game is a runaway. Yes!

[unleashbaynes]

yeah rebounding killing us. every shot westbrook misses rockets off the front of the rim, need to adjust to that

[smaka]

Bonner with +/- goods, being plus 15

[Uriel]

Disappointing :td

[BanditHiro]

god dammit Ginobili

[spursparker9]

lol beli on westbrook

[01Snake]

Turnovers

[Beaverfuzz]

Did they not review Westbrick's shot? That was a clear two.

[ElNono]

Yawn

[TDfan2007]

Manu has been a turnover machine...smh.

[Uriel]

You know it's a big game when both coaches are drawing up plays at the end of halftime

[rogues]

Will we coast and lose this game in the second half or do we try and win?..decisions decisions Scotty..

[hommeaetage]

Turnobili right on cue

[Hemotivo]

Bonner with +/- goods, being plus 15

:tu

[Horse]

Every call every bounce has gone their way. Spurs play the 2nd half like they give a shit they win easy.

[Uriel]

I love Manu :cry

[Beaverfuzz]

Great D Manu on the inbounds.

[Mal]

Bonner motherfucker cant rebound shit, and yet he is +15 for the game. WTF

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Turnobili right on cue

That was more good d to be honest...

[Beaverfuzz]

50-47 at the half.

[Mal]

Refs clearly making this game interesting

[rogues]

Great closeout by Adams..Bonner flopped..

[Uriel]

:lol Gotta love that incredulous Pop face

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Man these refs are awful. Did Westbitch suck them off?

[look_at_g_shred]

lol no call :lol these refs :lol this game

[Robz4000]

Spurs are getting hosed at home yet again...

[rogues]

:lol Gotta love that incredulous Pop face
Looks like a moon with all those craters..

[Blizzardwizard]

Methlahoma :lol

Needing ref help just so they can fight back and win their regular season championship :lol

[Splits]

:lmao refs just love dem Methheads. Bonner absolutely clobbered on that 3, no room to land, no fucking call

[Nathan89]

Faggot refs

[bulakenyo]

You can do nothing but laugh it all off.

[TheGreatYacht]

Did they change the Westbrook 3 to a 2? Could've sworn the score stayed the same

[rogues]

Here comes the complaining..

[Uriel]

Racist
I don't say Westbrook looks like a chipmunk because he's black. I say it because his face resembles that of one.

Besides, Louis Litt is white, and he looks like a chipmunk too.

[hommeaetage]

The refs don't even try to hide anymore. I've never seen a championship team get hosed so much on their home court

[Brunodf]

Doesn't matter who plays for OKC, the Refs are still their MVP with a 10-12 points swing in the 1st half :tu

[spurs10]

Appreciate Pop avoiding an ejection, but that was foul was bullshit and everyone in the world saw it. I hope we obliterate these pricks with whatever means necessary..

[TheGreatYacht]

San Antonio is up there with Atlanta as worst crowds in the league. Refs taking over, and they're just taking it.

[ElNono]

Good 1st half... Calls will even out and one we clean up the TOs a bit, we should be fine

[midnightpulp]

Why is Diaw not playing?

[SpurPadre]

Whether that was a foul or not, Bonner should never, ever, under no circumstances take the final shot before any fucking quarter, especially a buzzer-beater.

[Pound the rock]

Thunderefs in mid season form..

[BanditHiro]

Why is this coach playing Splitter over Diaw?

Diaw had to much Ham and Egg Nog last night and not feeling well

[Nathan89]

Miami didn't they use to have fans on this site?:lol

[timtonymanu]

Why is Diaw not playing?

Apparently he's not feeling well.

[BillMc]

So is there any official word on Boris?

[midnightpulp]

Good 1st half... Calls will even out and one we clean up the TOs a bit, we should be fine

0:09 51-47 Manu Ginobili bad pass

:downspin:

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Diaw not playing?
Because he finally got it going, and Pop knows that means less minutes for Matty

[SpurPadre]

Sage steele mentions Durant not playing but nothing about Leonard.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy needs to step it up on the boards.

[midnightpulp]

Apparently he's not feeling well.

Translation: Ate too much last night and is hungover.

[spurs10]

Why is Diaw not playing? Have no clue...

[Uriel]

4:43 AM over here. I'm sleepy as fuck. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Thunder = most ref coddled team in NBA history.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

The board admin should ban the troll, that'd be doing him a favor. He obviously needs to go find a life, it's clear the thing he was looking forward to most on Christmas is trolling this board. What a sad life. He could use the help, so he should just be banned. Win win situation.

[bklynspursfan]

may have missed it, what happened to boris? happy holidays yall

[bulakenyo]

4:43 AM over here. I'm sleepy as fuck. :lol

Pilipinas, boss?

[Brunodf]

may have missed it, what happened to boris? happy holidays yall
He is sick, not playing

[rogues]

Thunder = most ref coddled team in NBA history.
Nope, that would be your cute little bay area team.

[timtonymanu]

LeBron slurping time.

[midnightpulp]

Gonna be tough to win this one without Diaw. You can't play a twin tower frontcourt against the Thunder, and without Diaw, the only stretch 4 we have is fuckin' Bonner.

:cry I'm not feeling well, Pop. Gonna sit out. :cry

Maybe if the fat ass didn't gorge on ham and slam jello shots last night, he would've "felt well."

[cd021]

Jalen Rose is annoying as hell. They should just have Doug Collins do a halftime monologue

[look_at_g_shred]

Nope, that would be your cute little bay area team.
Did it hurt?

[cd021]

Start Bonner and Duncan in the second half.

[UZER]

Westbrook wants every damn call. He barks at the refs after every call or no call. :lol it's pathetic

[Uriel]

Pilipinas, boss?
Opo! Gising ka rin? :lol

[DMC]

Manu is a walking turnover at this point. 13 minutes, 4 turnovers. 4 is a lot for one game for a PG, but to have 4 in 13 minutes? What's he doing, alley oop passes to Marco?

[DMC]

Jalen Rose is annoying as hell. They should just have Doug Collins do a halftime monologue
Jalen's speech impediment (par per etc) is why he's hard to listen to. Chuck has it, Shaq has it.. C-Webb has it, Gary Payton.... seems like it's taught.

[Uriel]

Gotta love Matty. :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

THROW IT DOWN MARCO!

[Uriel]

MARCO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[r0drig0lac]

MARCOOOOOOOOOO

[smaka]

Dammmmn Marco

[Raven]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Marco?

[NASpurs]

Faggot Ibaka :lol

[Holden_Caulfield]

beliiiiiiiii

[Ditty]

Sit your ass down Marco haters!

[ViceCity86]

Beli with the flush

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Oh my gosh Westbitch is so lucky.

[SpurPadre]

Fuck you Bonner

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY!

[DMC]

With Leonard out, the Spurs don't have an identity on defense and they seem to accept that.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

You know it's sad when Adams gets star treatment when guarded by Duncan.

[Uriel]

:cry I miss Kawhi :cry

[-21-]

WTF was that?

[rogues]

You know it's sad when Adams gets star treatment when guarded by Duncan.
:lol You complain about everything..

[-21-]

Kawhi can't hold a ball with the injury? Is it really that bad?

[DMC]

I think if we keep shooting 3s all game and let Manu create we'll be fine, just out shoot them.

[Johnny RIngo]

Never get the hate for Beli he made two clutch baskets vs the thunder and heat last year. He isn't as bad as defender as people say he is tbh, and a pretty good shooter.

Marco gets hate because his mediocre offense(only hitting threes in the regular season) is negated by his horrendous defense. Bottom ten defender in the entire NBA according to RAPM last year. His disappearing act in the playoffs wasn't very encouraging either. Marco just isn't a big time player. He'll comfortably score twenty points while his team loses by double digits..empty stats pretty much. That's what players on lottery teams do - the only kind of teams Marco belongs on.

[timtonymanu]

Getting worked again. Ugh.

[Brunodf]

Take Tony/Beli out please

[james evans]

we are gonna see a lot of bullshit in the coming months of the nba season. a lot of okc bullshit wins and alot of teams losing in the west to get okc in the playoffs. read tim donaghy's book about how it happened with him once. they sending these mfs to the line every time they miss.

[Uriel]

Damn, Westbrook is talented as fuck. If only he had his head screwed on right.

[-21-]

We're shooting bricks so far.

[rogues]

:lmao Russ bullying Parker..

[024]

Yeah... this is Westbrook's team

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why do we keep settling for 20 foot jumpshots?

This is going to be a horrible horrible lost. Our interior D is pitiful.

[ViceCity86]

Kawhi out for weeks it seems,guess surgery would end his season.

[beirmeistr]

Spurs need to drive, too respectful of Ibaca

[Darius Bieber]

This game feels like a loss tbh, even though the Thunder are coming off an overtime game and the Spurs haven't played since Monday.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Pop starting Bonner this half was a huge mistake.

[bulakenyo]

Opo! Gising ka rin? :lol
:lol

OKC nana.

[Johnny RIngo]

Take Tony/Beli out please

Seriously - those two are among the worst defenders in the entire league. That backcourt is just god awful on D. They should never be in together at the same time.

[unleashbaynes]

why do the espn crew still wear those shitty boy band head sets?

[look_at_g_shred]

Kawhi can't hold a ball with the injury? Is it really that bad?
Adding drama. It's national TV.

[DMC]

Adams with more rebounds at the Spurs' end than Tim... lol

[hommeaetage]

Sometimes I'm disgusted on how soft this team can be

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

The Spurs need to wake up this season. Leonard may be out for a while and because of some bad losses they don't have the luxury of losing these type of games anymore. They need to care, and they clearly don't. I still have faith, but they're in a position they're not used to and they need to adjust.

[ElNono]

Wonder if Pop gonna go with Danny on Russ in the 4th or save it for a potential playoffs matchup

[timtonymanu]

:lmao Russ bullying Parker..

Parker gets destroyed by every PG. :lol.

Doubt it would be different against the best PG in the league.

[Darius McCrary]

How the fuck did Kawhi tear his carpal tunnel ligament
how's that even physically possible

He really fucked us this year with this

[lefty]

WTF parker. Timmy was wide open

[TDfan2007]

This smells like a loss. Thunder want it more, especially Westbrook.

[lefty]

Parker gets destroyed by every PG. :lol.

Doubt it would be different against the best PG in the league.

[Clipper Nation]

Parker gets destroyed by every PG. :lol.
Not Choke Paul.

[DMC]

Seeing how Russ has taken 18 shots and Tony has taken 10 fewer, Russ should have more points. He's only hit 2 more shots though.

[beirmeistr]

Come on, spurs, wheres the passion?

[Beaverfuzz]

Just think if the Thunder played like this versus the rest of the NBA.

[unleashbaynes]

get a god damn rebound. this is inexcusable.

[Raven]

put beli out for anderson or daye, we need some height.

[Beaverfuzz]

ball don't lie Adams.

[-21-]

We can't get a rebound, ugh.

[rogues]

Keep it steady..

[spurs10]

Offensive boards are the talk of ABC...

[TDfan2007]

Timmy doesn't have it today.

[unleashbaynes]

lol running a twitter contest to give away copies of shitty ass nba live

[DMC]

Kyle going to have a break out game, score double digits, maybe get a rebound.

[timtonymanu]

omg this is a terrible defensive lineup.

[SpurPadre]

Please not another Christmas blowout.

[Raven]

wtf timmy

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit ballhogging on that one Duncan.

[-21-]

Adams owns Duncan tbh.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

This is how SA protests Christmas games.

[Uriel]

Fuuuuuuuck.

[DMC]

Thunder 20 FTA

Spurs 5 FTA

[Darius Bieber]

Game over tbh

[rogues]

Russ beast mode..

[unleashbaynes]

adams physical defense on tim goes uncalled, but we breathe on westbrook and the fucker gets free throws.

[spursparker9]

Good game. Spurs just don't have it

[Mal]

Half of Westchucker made shots were fluke as fuck

[beirmeistr]

Please get parker off eestbrook

[Mal]

talking bout fluke shots :lmao

[-21-]

MATTY!!!!!!!!

[DMC]

RW having a Kobe night, lots of shots, not a lot of makes, but if the team wins he'll get all the credit.

[Beaverfuzz]

BONER
4
3333333333

[Raven]

mvbonner

[Johnny RIngo]

God, current Parker is so bad. It's like watching mid 2000 Parker but with less quickness. Inexcusable for him to have worse court vision than a 37 year old backup shooting guard.

[Raven]

belishit

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Beli. :lol Not that bad of a defender

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs are making this too easy for Westbitch.

[Brunodf]

BElineli D :bang

[Nathan89]

How the fuck did Kawhi tear his carpal tunnel ligament
how's that even physically possible

He really fucked us this year with this

You say that like it was his decision.

[Beaverfuzz]

RW having a Kobe night, lots of shots, not a lot of makes, but if the team wins he'll get all the credit.

Not a lot of makes, are you watching the same game the rest of us are watching?

[DMC]

lol down by 10 at home to a sub .500 team without their MVP on Christmas Day... defending chumps

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Even when the refs call a foul on the bitches the refs still cheat for them.

[Beaverfuzz]

Come on refs, you can't grab the rim on defense.

FUCK YOU REFS!

[unleashbaynes]

Goaltend like a motherfucker but no refs didnt see it yeah fuckin right

[Brunodf]

:lol those refs

[DMC]

Not a lot of makes, are you watching the same game the rest of us are watching?
8 for 20, you do the math.

[Brunodf]

lol down by 10 at home to a sub .500 team without their MVP on Christmas Day... defending chumps
Refs are there or are u blind :lol

[timtonymanu]

Now they can't miss. :lol

[james evans]

i really hope popovich doesn't keep this pack the paint zone defense in the playoffs. shit is stupid and is responsible for every loss we have this season.

[-21-]

fookin ibaka

[r0drig0lac]

matt x abaca

[unleashbaynes]

If ibaka is hitting 3s just fuckin pack it in and rest everyone. Not worth getting anyone else injured in a game where the other team sees the hoop as an ocean.

[-21-]

OKC cant miss

[Mal]

Cant get a stop,

[ImDaNuts]

Westbrook shittin on niggas

[Beaverfuzz]

It's not the offense that is killing the Spurs today, it's the defense or lack thereof.

[TDfan2007]

This is embarrassing

[Raven]

westchimp is just insane

[DMC]

Spurs are losing because of rebounds, not because of shooting. They are shooting the ball just fine, aren't rebounding worth a shit.

[Mal]

23-7 fts

[rogues]

:lol I guess we aren't coasting this game

[timtonymanu]

Thank god we beat the Clippers the other day. Would have been a 6 game losing streak. :lol

[unleashbaynes]

He can hit contested 3s no problem but almost airballs a free throw, such is life when scrub bags play against the Spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

splitta

[loveforthegame]

People still underestimating what Leonard means to this team. Role player my ass.

[Sean Cagney]

Please keep us off of Christmas day games..... They look flat out horrible out there.
People still underestimating what Leonard means to this team. Role player my ass.

BIGTIME, he is huge.

[Beaverfuzz]

There's the cheap foul on OKC...good move Joseph.

[Raven]

you can't bench joseph when westchimp is on the floor, you just can't.

[rogues]

Where was the foul?..

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

There are two athletes who deserve career ending injuries, and Westbitch is one of them. The other one is Richard Sherman. I don't want any other athletes to get injured, just those two pieces of shit.

[-21-]

Cory's always good for a spark.

[r0drig0lac]

cj is just fearless

[Beaverfuzz]

People still underestimating what Leonard means to this team. Role player my ass.

Don't forget Mills, especially when TP was out...team had no real true PG.

[ImDaNuts]

Perkins useless nig

[TDfan2007]

CoJo is playing really well.

[look_at_g_shred]

Scotty brooks complaining about a call :lol the little joys in life :)

[rogues]

There are two athletes who deserve career ending injuries, and Westbitch is one of them. The other one is Richard Sherman. I don't want any other athletes to get injured, just those two pieces of shit.
^bitter virgin

[ElNono]

Gino bringing us back into this game..

lol @ Pop resting Boris, he knows what month it is

[ElNono]

Russ is a stud... real shame he lacks talent around him...

[DMC]

You got Parker, Manu and Tim with minutes, but Matt is the leading scorer. Says a lot for the state of the team right now.

[Mal]

Russ is a stud... real shame he lacks talent around him...

He lacks brain. Wall >> Russ

[TDfan2007]

The rebounding effort hasn't been there all night. Spurs look like they ate too much turkey last night...

[DMC]

Russ is a stud... real shame he lacks talent around him...

Russ is Kobe, shoots too often but sometimes gets good results because of it. People mistake that for being aggressive, but he's a PG and needs to get others involved and that's not him. Sure he gets dump off assists but the team's assists aren't spread around because the ball stops with Russ and he either shoots or looks for the assist, no ball movement.

[Brunodf]

People still underestimating what Leonard means to this team. Role player my ass.
The thing is: our most useless players against OKC are playing( Beli/Splitter/Baynes/TP to some extent) and some our most important players (Diaw/Kawhi/Mills) are out...

Kawhi would make Westbrook life miserable...

OKC is missing Durant though

[timtonymanu]

He lacks brain. Wall >> Russ

:lol no. Wall is becoming really overrated.

[Horse]

Never seen so many obvious calls missed.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice job Boner...draw the foul and shoot 3.

[Uriel]

I love Matty :cry

[Raven]

beli goes out, spurs make a huge run :lol

[moisaenz]

Scrubs providing a spark

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Lol that was an awful call, must be to make up for the no call at the end of the second quarter.

[timtonymanu]

beli goes out, spurs make a huge run :lol

:cry buh he's not that bad of a defender.

[ElNono]

det redhead flop :lol

[unleashbaynes]

There are two athletes who deserve career ending injuries, and Westbitch is one of them. The other one is Richard Sherman. I don't want any other athletes to get injured, just those two pieces of shit.

Translation: they were big meanies to my favorite grown man adult athletes, they deserve for all their hard work and dedication to be taken away :cry

And Crabtree IS a sorry receiver. One of the most talented guys i've ever seen play the game, best hands in the game, 2 biletnikoff awards at fucking Texas Tech, but a terrible attitude and work ethic. You can tell that for him, making it to the league was enough and he never put very much effort into actually being a pro.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Duncan, Parker, and Green getting owned.

[Mal]

:lol no. Wall is becoming really overrated.

He`s becoming a monster. Using his athletism to play basketball, not monkeyballing

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol Ibaka

[midnightpulp]

Gino bringing us back into this game..

lol @ Pop resting Boris, he knows what month it is

Boris isn't being rested. The fat bastard simply partied too hard last night. Probably thought his performance against the Clippers entitled him to drown himself in foie gras and wine.

[Beaverfuzz]

CoJo still isn't a PG...be nice when Patty is fully back.

[Brunodf]

:lol Refs

[Mal]

Joseph is fearless

[timtonymanu]

I gotta give it to Bonner and Joseph. They've been huge today.

[unleashbaynes]

Cojo is so damn scrappy, he isnt a guy that you trust to make a play every time, but as shit unfolds he always just seems to be in the right spots, doing the right things, and just generally working his ass off out there.

[007nites]

Cojo playing so good right now

[Johnny RIngo]

No more Parker/Shitinelli lineups and SA has a chance to win this tonight

[DMC]

Cojo with the same number of rebounds as Tim

[Mal]

The real question is that, will Parker cost Spurs this game, when he`ll be back in 4th

[Trainwreck2100]

All these whistles at the end of the third means they are getting fucked in the 4th

[-21-]

I feel bad for CoJo knowing he won't get much playing time after Mills comes back.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Lol keep feeding it to Porkins!

[james evans]

i'm sick of ginobli's bad passes. some get through, some are turnovers. he was bailed out on the last one.

[Uriel]

MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

[Mal]

Another bad pass by Manu

[RD2191]

Come on Cojo

[Beaverfuzz]

NICE BLOCK MARCO!!!

[Raven]

AND THE LEAD!!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Keep the starters out, they suck today.

[timtonymanu]

great turn around after the double digit deficit.

[Brunodf]

THE GOLDEN GOD

[ElNono]

Gino so good, tbh

[Uriel]

I love this team :cry

[-21-]

I can't believe we have the lead. :lol

[james evans]

woooooooo

[moisaenz]

Da scrubs are good

[beirmeistr]

Pop, please keep the rally going with same players

[Raven]

CoJo still isn't a PG...be nice when Patty is fully back.

horrible take :lol

[DMC]

This happened a few times last year, the starters sucked dick and the bench had to mop up the mess afterward.

[TDfan2007]

Our bench >>>> theirs

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If Parker and Duncan cared, then this isn't a game.

[hommeaetage]

Keep the Starters on the bench, they suck today

[Nathan89]

Westbrook about to come in and Shit on the entire team.

[Splits]

Just like that, we've got a game

[Uriel]

This game has followed a familiar pattern. Their starters outscore ours. Our bench outscores their's.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Spurs. 12 minutes of solid play. Bring the game home.

:flag:

[Horse]

It's about time we realize how fucking good CoJo is. His D turned this game.
