Game Thread #1: Spurs at Thunder 10/28 8:00 EST (7:00 CST, 2:00 Riga Time)

[spursistan]

need a couple of 3s to open this shit open..this has thunder stealing it with FT-parade written all over it..

[SAGirl]

Open season at the rim when West/Diaw are paired tbh
But that offense...
yea Pop is going to have to do something about it. I don't like them together too much TBH.

[Kawhitstorm]

spurs really need a shot blocker.....

Maybe throw Boban out there against Adams.

[DMC]

This is the this is the first game of the season, what do you expect? You should be very happy with the outcome so far.

[Mnky]

The second unit played fine. They're playing against two starters on a western conference favorite, I think they'll be alright.

[hater]

Houston and Memphis losing :tu

[Kool Bob Love]

:flag:

[urunobili]

Bench didn't look as good as advertised on this quarter. Westbrook with very limited breaks...

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs bury shots, despite being contestedThe Thunder have contested 25 of the Spurs' 33 jump shots, but San Antonio has made 52 percent of them for 27 points. On the contrary, when they're uncontested, they've made 3-of-8 such shots

[RD2191]

Fuck

[Beaverfuzz]

PATTY
THRILLS
4
3333333333333

[ace3g]

shooters touch for Patty

[Ron Swanson]

Patty!

[313]

Morrow's release is unreal

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Three by Mills.

[RD2191]

Patty

[313]

Nice mills

[Brazil]

It's the 4th quarter.....time to put Danny on Westbrook.

:lol yes please

[Uriel]

Hammer!!!

[milkyway21]

Manu will always be a great passe. it doesn't matter who he's playing with :tu. 7 assts in 16minutes

[SAGirl]

I thought it was a decent contest by Kyle, shooter is just hot and going to make those. He made him dribble and was close by to contest. Van Gundy talking shit.

[Brazil]

:rolleyes

[Beaverfuzz]

Kyle Anderson is absolutely fucking worthless.

[SpurPadre]

Turnobili

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop needs to make some subs, this lineup blows so badly.

[ElNono]

come on, gotta box out and rebound

[Blizzardwizard]

Pop killing everyone with this terrible lineup :lol

[100%duncan]

Alright bring in the starters

[Beaverfuzz]

Jesus, BOX THE FUCK OUT! Penis should not be getting those boards.

[Raven]

my nig cancer shitting on the haters

[TheGreatYacht]

Thunder run started by Ginobili

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris and West are too weak on D. They can't play together

[RD2191]

Plz beat these faggots. Plz.

[DMC]

cancer o' the anus

[Killakobe81]

Size of the OKC bench causing issues ...

[Brian Windhorst]

Diaw/West is a disaster on defense tbh. Throw in Mills too.

[unleashbaynes]

Box someone out shit

[100%duncan]

I thought it was a decent contest by Kyle, shooter is just hot and going to make those. He made him dribble and was close by to contest. Van Gundy talking shit.

Yep. Morrow is a baller.

[SpursIndonesia]

Diaw & West are playing like midgets, damn !!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Diaw + west will not work

[SAGirl]

Honestly Diaw WEst doesnt work. Pop has to put Aldridge or Duncan in there, or Boban.

[Brazil]

:lol somebody told Durant it's the first game of the season and not the finals ?

[Kawhitstorm]

Kanter/Adams are too big for Bobo/West

[spursistan]

get Timmy or LMA back,tbh

[ElNono]

Thunder run started by Ginobili

bullshit... why u have to be like that, sandro?

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

:bobo goes glass

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Diaw + west will not work
+100

[RD2191]

Diaw!

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo abusing Adams

[spurraider21]

where is boban for the rebounds :lol

[ace3g]

Manu gets the steal

[ElNono]

nice defense Gino

[100%duncan]

This is gonna be a season long problem Diaw West they gotta solve this :lol


Manu :tu

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Don't get hurt Manu!

[Raven]

Boris and West are too weak on D. They can't play together

did you just call david freaking west weak?

[BatManu20]

Turnobili rearing his ugly head = OKC run.

[Brazil]

Kyle Anderson is a joke

[Beaverfuzz]

KYLE BRICK ANDERSON


Is this a Mason's convention?

[DPG21920]

Just like the pre-season, bench has mucked things up. They have had good moments, but have to pull it together. This is the first extended Boris minutes though so still a learning curve (plus its the first game.

[KL2]

Need a rim protector out there, Marj in spot mins would be great

[Canyonero]

Come on Patty

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice move by Patty for the FT's

[ElNono]

this game on pace to 120-120 score :lol

[BatManu20]

Settle down and knock down that shot Kyle

[unleashbaynes]

Anderson sucks.......

[KL2]

Mills is just off today

[100%duncan]

Freethrows :pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

West has to take that shot.....Kyle corner 3 isn't what you want

[Beaverfuzz]

Lucky Durant bobbled that ball...


KIWI!!!

[spurraider21]

kawhi!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

MVWHI.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi!

[RD2191]

Kawhi

[brucebowensghost]

:sombrero: dwest yo, we solid

[Beaverfuzz]

Leonard Part VI is heating up.

[ElNono]

Paty/Bobo P&R Defense... :td

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!

[ace3g]

rinse and repeat for Kawhi

[Brazil]

Kawhi bringing us home tbh :tu

[james evans]

da hell is david west doing? he's just stain there watching the rebounds.

[100%duncan]

KIWI.

[SAGirl]

This is a disaster, Pop leaving West-Diaw to get roasted.

[Ron Swanson]

Look! Scot Pollard can dunk!

[DPG21920]

If the Spurs take care of the ball and move it, they will get any shot they want.

[Killakobe81]

gosh damn Kiwi winning his head2head matchup ...
Damn again he scores as I type this

[RD2191]

Shut em up Kawhi

[313]

Leonard :worthy:

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice rejection Diaw.

[Canyonero]

DIAW

[Brazil]

:bobo everywhere

[DPG21920]

Damn, good look by West. Got great seperation on that shot being strong.

[Beaverfuzz]

:lol

Durant

[Ron Swanson]

Danny can't hit shit

[james evans]

This is a disaster, Pop leaving West-Diaw to get roasted.
he's starting the season with his experimenting bullshit. That's what preseason was for. Stop leaving thosefucked up lineups on the floor too long. damn!!

[DPG21920]

Diaw coming up huge!

[sasaint]

Danny...meh.

[Beaverfuzz]

Time to bring back in the starters.

[ElNono]

wish icy hot would be hot, tbh

[100%duncan]

Wow bobo. 2 blocks and a good contest :tu

[Texas_Ranger]

Danny go practice on your threes

[Uriel]

Great pace. This game is so exciting. :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi is a beast

[DMC]

good action

[Killakobe81]

Diaw the rim protector!!! good game so far ...

[TheDoctor]

Defense is awesome. Keep it up guys

[RD2191]

Fuck Green. Streakiest shooter in the NBA.

[SAGirl]

The rebounding is going to be an issue with Diaw-West too. Kawhi keeping us in this, but lack of rim protection in the second unit is a problem.

[Vokun]

Come on LDN. Gotta hit that baby

[Mikeanaro]

Man Danny Green is so cold.

[313]

Diaw making up for that third q defensively :wow

[spurraider21]

wonder if durant still has the nerve to call kawhi a system player :lol

[DPG21920]

People do realize OKC is a great team with amazing talent and it's the first game :lol. Still a lot to figure out for SA but overall I'm loving this team. It's even better than I imagined tbh..

[100%duncan]

he's starting the season with his experimenting bullshit. That's what preseason was for. Stop leaving thosefucked up lineups on the floor too long. damn!!

To be fair, it's gotta do with the composition of the team. Diaw and West will be the 3rd and 4th bigs no matter what.

[BillMc]

Boris rules.

[Kawhitstorm]

How quickly didn't Danny turn Icy?

[DarrinS]

Thunder run started by Ginobili

Still a fag, I see

I'll be shitting on you all season, btw.

[Mugen]

where's Aldridge?

[SpurPadre]

Great sequence from Bobo there.

[ElNono]

People do realize OKC is a great team with amazing talent and it's the first game :lol. Still a lot to figure out for SA but overall I'm loving this team. It's even better than I imagined tbh..

feel the same way, tbh...

[313]

Green on the road has always been pretty cold iirc he shot 45%+ from 3 at home though

[100%duncan]

People do realize OKC is a great team with amazing talent and it's the first game :lol. Still a lot to figure out for SA but overall I'm loving this team. It's even better than I imagined tbh..

Yep I'm loving the ball movement, defense aside from the later 3rd and early 4th. Shooting has gotta improve, especially with Danny but overall we look good. Just a hard team in a hard environment.

[Raven]

has no help though. He'll get better.

indeed, he ended with 26 on 10-16 with 7 reb 2 blk and a steal with 8 TO:lol

[milkyway21]

where's LMA .. benched?

[turb0time]

Diaw the rim protector!!! good game so far ...

[Mikeanaro]

Lamar??????

[DPG21920]

The rebounding is going to be an issue with Diaw-West too. Kawhi keeping us in this, but lack of rim protection in the second unit is a problem.

It is and not an easy problem to solve. Have to hope that Diaw/West brains and strength help. Then Pop has to surround them with good perimeter defenders for stretches if he can. West isn't a great contested REB, but hopefully as a unit they get it done.

[urunobili]

West and Danny cold but I like their D

[Leetonidas]

Leonard telling Durant to suck his cock basically. System player my ass

[SAGirl]

West has to take that shot.....Kyle corner 3 isn't what you want
He's been reluctant to shoot. He had a shot early but chose to drive and was called for traveling. I am not so hot on West with Diaw TBH. If only Boban wasn't so TO prone...

[aal04]

We really gonna play all our best players 25 minutes apart from Kawhi?

I get that Duncan is old, but LMA, Green, TP should be good for 35+ minutes, with the obvious light load on back 2 backs

[ace3g]

West to Kawhi

[100%duncan]

What a set play

[313]

Danny Green is so soft spoken :lol

[RD2191]

Great ball movement

[DPG21920]

Yep I'm loving the ball movement, defense aside from the later 3rd and early 4th. Shooting has gotta improve, especially with Danny but overall we look good. Just a hard team in a hard environment.

True, but the Spurs are generating some amazing shots. OKC is athletic and still contesting, but Spurs are getting spots all over the floor and are exploiting mis-matches like crazy.

The defense has been really active and with the right line ups I think it will be damn good.

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI
ON
FIRE

[ace3g]

Kawhi career high game!!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[spurraider21]

jesus kawhi :wow

BULLYING durant

[100%duncan]

KAWHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Canyonero]

Career high for Kawhi

[DPG21920]

Kawhi *faint*

[RD2191]

KAWHI BABY THAT WAS SEXY

[Ron Swanson]

Reg season career high!

[Canyonero]

Westbrook :lol:

[DMC]

momma, there goes that hand

[100%duncan]

wtf 27 pts is not kawhis caree high it was 31 asgaisnt clips

[Kawhitstorm]

Totally forgot LMA was even on the team

[Gametight]

Is it me or did Kawhi get taller in the offseason...he looks like he is almost as tall as KD.

[100%duncan]

Heat check by kiwi :lol

[spurraider21]

see... now THOSE are the bad shots by kawhi. he can play a great game and still avoid those really poor contested long shots

[milkyway21]

it's his debut Pop don't embarass him & take away his confidence.. put him on the court..

[Killakobe81]

Kawhi career high game!!
on Durant too ...

[DPG21920]

What?! Come on man

[weeks]

Who's the system player now, bitch

[RD2191]

Plz win this.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Maaan, everytime the Spurs get momentum they do dumb things to give it right back.


Game has been fun as hell though!

[KL2]

Leonard>Durant

[Robz4000]

:lol how is that an offensive foul?

[DMC]

wtf 27 pts is not kawhis caree high it was 31 asgaisnt clips
reg season

[RD2191]

see... now THOSE are the bad shots by kawhi. he can play a great game and still avoid those really poor contested long shots

Hey! Why don't you shut the fuck up?

[313]

Kawhi outplaying KD :lol

OKC preseason champs :lol

[SAGirl]

lol. It's still ten times better than the turd towers. Bonner and Blair.
I wasn't around to watch that mercifully. :bobo

[BillMc]

West gets a lot of random fouls.

[spurraider21]

wait they called that on west? :lol...

[Brazil]

Leonard>Durant

Yup

[DarrinS]

Plz win this.

Game 1of 82. Just enjoy

[100%duncan]

reg season

Was talking about the graphic showed below the game score, not the commentary. It said "career high" which obviously wasn't.

[spurraider21]

Hey! Why don't you shut the fuck up?
:cry "parker should play instead of mills"

[SPURt]

Come on, take us home Kawhi

[RD2191]

Fuckin refs, man.

[Vokun]

Thunder refs call every little fucking thing. Soft asses

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi had to have been told about those Durant tweets.

[Mugen]

RefKC :lol

[unleashbaynes]

Damn thats not a foul

[ElNono]

This Thunder team will win 50+ games, easy

[Beaverfuzz]

I'm sure Tony Parker's watch orders Domino's. :lol :bobo

[DPG21920]

This is a playoff type game already tho

[313]

Totally forgot LMA was even on the team
tbh :lmao

He's def spacing the floor for Kawhi and has had some nice plays this game though.

[Ron Swanson]

I wasn't around to watch that mercifully. :bobo

Lucky you

[Gametight]

West gets a lot of random fouls.

Ya I've noticed that too

[DPG21920]

This Thunder team will win 50+ games, easy

They will probably win the West in the regular season

[random21]

Kawhi going off on Durant... Durants comments caught up with him

[BillMc]

Leonard>Durant

If you include d, without a doubt.

[Kawhitstorm]

Is it possible to trade Tony for Isaiah Thomas?

[Brazil]

Great game tbh

[spursistan]

Kawhi best player on floor...

[Beaverfuzz]

Westchimp with the tough runner.

[DPG21920]

tbh :lmao

He's def spacing the floor for Kawhi and has had some nice plays this game though.

That's a good thing. Spurs look Amazing and LMA has not been heavily featured. He helps even when he's not scoring.

[Spurs9]

Anyone else hate the constant spamming of draftkings/fanfuel ads and commercials? How is it even legal tbh

[100%duncan]

This is gonna be a tough loss :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

why is parker guarding westbrook?

[Ron Swanson]

Don't look at WB right now. That's two shots.

[Vokun]

These fucking refs man.

[ElNono]

not TP hate, tbh... but WB can smell blood there... he'll go at him

[RD2191]

Bullshit
Kawhi not getting any help from the starters.

[SpurPadre]

Is Kanter really that good a rebounder?

[Brian Windhorst]

Tony on Westbrook smdh...

[DMC]

That guy is never going to take his team anywhere. He's a great basketball player but he's not a great NBA player.

[unleashbaynes]

Furkin refs.

[Mikeanaro]

Where is the foul?

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker can't even beat Kanter on the perimeter...FUCK YOU POP

[DPG21920]

TBH...Westbrook is doing what everyone said Lebron should have been doing. He's using his superior physical skills to operate out of the post consistently. It's working well too.

[RD2191]

Fuck.

[313]

Would like it if Tony attacked a bit more, but I understand he's trying to be less of a ball stopper :tu

[Beaverfuzz]

Plenty of time.

KIWI draws the foul.

[SuperCam]

Kiwi free throws... uh oh...

[BatManu20]

Spurs offense going ice cold

[100%duncan]

Fuck what an unlucky roll

[RD2191]

Too much dead weight starting tbh.

[Texas_Ranger]

parker is the new bonner. Anyone that shoots near him will score.

[Brian Windhorst]

Wish Pop valued reg season games enough to at least match up optimally in the fourth.

Fucking came back to haunt us last year...

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker TOTALLY useless..playing 4-on-5

[100%duncan]

Kiwi free throws... uh oh...

Uh oh

[DMC]

I don't even feel anything about this game. I just want to see how they play together. In a month or two it's going to be more interesting.

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy!

[313]

Pop was coaching a good game but why hasn't he switched Danny on WB

[DPG21920]

Wow, Tim!

[spurraider21]

:lmao that "floater"

[Beaverfuzz]

Tony, nice floater you garbage.

[100%duncan]

Enrique

[313]

Nevermind

[Ron Swanson]

WTF was that, Tony

[SpurPadre]

Wtf Tony?!

[spursistan]

fuck parker..that's way off

[TheDoctor]

Parker :lmao

[RD2191]

Crofl Parker

[loveforthegame]

Fuck Parker.

[Vokun]

Parker is such shit

[ElNono]

I wanna be your Heeeeeeero baby

[TheGoldStandard]

Dear God why is Parker in there being a cancer

[unleashbaynes]

What the fuck are you doing parker?

[100%duncan]

Parker getting rekt.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Parker needs to be benched

[DMC]

Parker burying his team again

[BatManu20]

Take Parker out... Put in Patty

[KaiRMD1]

The rip through? Seriously? This fucking old sport is picking up right where he left off with this bullshit

[Kawhitstorm]

It doesn't take a genius to put Danny on Westbrook or bench Tony

[DPG21920]

Pop was coaching a good game but why hasn't he switched Danny on WB

Buying time. No need to do it from the get go. Change up in the fourth - esp when you have been working with a lead mostly.

[Vokun]

Hope that fucker fouls out

[Mikeanaro]

Porker and Green are killing us.

[Brian Windhorst]

Manu can bring the ball up...

[SpursIndonesia]

Donovan with a great tactical move, damn he's mile ahead of Brooks ...

[TheGoldStandard]

Please foul out please foul out

[Leetonidas]

TP picking up where he left off last season

[TheDoctor]

“I understand my role is going to change,”
- Parker

[Beaverfuzz]

DANNY
GREEN
