Game Thread: Spurs vs OKC -- Game 1 - Sat (4/30) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga)

[Cry Havoc]

Westbrook already looks angry and frustrated.

[DPG21920]

OKC is on pace to beat their league high offensive rebound per game average (15) - if Spurs don't clean that up, OKC is going to be able to keep it close. Spurs are taking care of the ball, are engaged on defense, but they have to focus on the boards. Tim in particular needs to really find guys earlier and put a damn body on them.

[Kawhitstorm]

Popovich calling a timeout after a devastating 2-0 OKC run. Probably b/c LMA hesitated on an open look & transition defense. This is also the point of the game when Manu checks-in.

[Trainwreck2100]

Found myself with no tv here...

[hater]

GOAT Adams taking entire city of OKC on his back :wow

[Chinook]

Popovich calling a timeout after a devastating 2-0 OKC run.

I hate when he does that. The Spurs clearly still have momentum. But I guess if he's going to start putting the bench in, it's better to do that after a timeout.

[PopTheGOAT]

Ibaka shot from mid range is hot fire still. He was great against the Mavs and it's carried over for sure.
Already put up 5 shots...

[Godbama]

Spank that ass, Spurs. Spank. that. ass.

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[Silver&Black]

:claw 5-5

[loveforthegame]

Holy shit Leonard.

It's only going to get worse. The Spurs' three best rebounders on already on the floor.

No way Danny!

[DPG21920]

Cheese & Crackers Kawhi..

Great job by LMA running down that rebound in between OKC people!

[tholdren]

Danny Green...? What the hell?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Verde 3333333

[Ron Swanson]

LDN!

[Silver&Black]

If LDN hits the 3 like this....

NBA = F:lolcked

[loveforthegame]

Verde!

[RD2191]

DG!!

[sasaint]

This is a really awful start on the defensive glass. It's being covered up great offense, but damn, scary.

More likely reason for Pop's timeout than the Thunder's 2-0 streak.

[DPG21920]

It's only going to get worse. The Spurs' three best rebounders on already on the floor.

It's definitely scary despite the great start. Something to keep an eye on.

[tholdren]

t that bitch up

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard in God mode

[Ron Swanson]

Bitch ass Westbrook threw Danny down

[Beaverfuzz]

No foul on Westbrick?

That's flagrant 1

[007nites]

Everything is going in

[Spurs9]

:wow just got home and saw this score :wow

[RD2191]

Fucking flagrant 1

[DPG21920]

More likely reason for Pop's timeout than the Thunder's 2-0 streak.

Agreed.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is unbelievable

[Ron Swanson]

Common foul my ass

[sasaint]

Marv Albert "May have been some contact there" :wow

[Silver&Black]

I'm good with the common foul call...

[Spurs9]

Westbrook in progressing to be our MVP this first quarter already :lol

[DPG21920]

Not a flagrant. Should not be. If it happens again though, now you can react.

[Robz4000]

[DPG21920]

Manu hurt? Caught an elbow on a wild Westbrook move

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Great pass. Great finish.

[SASdynasty!]

It's going to take Thunderrefs to stop this run

[Silver&Black]

Did they really give out Coyote face cutouts?

:lol

[PopTheGOAT]

Early leads are always dangerous. Have to stay focused

[Silver&Black]

LMAlpha again

[DPG21920]

LMA is straight up shitting on OKC

[Chris]

LMA :worthy:

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

At least LMA is balling

I think LA's finger is guud

[Spurs9]

Keeping westbrook out of paint :clap

[DPG21920]

That was incredible defense and OKC scored. But what a defensive effort :tu

Manu with a great pass and LMA being aggressive.

[Beaverfuzz]

Hope Manu is ok

Looked like that last pass from Manu was on the money. He's fine.

[capek]

Manu! What a pass!

[steeledl]

Was Aldridge a good signing ? Tbh

[Silver&Black]

OKC = 14
LMA = 13

[Chris]

nice block by Verde

[DPG21920]

I like how Pop is not having both DG and Kawhi off of the floor at the same time.

Danny Green is a damn beast!

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice block Verde, unlucky bounce though.

[Otaku]

Manu god

[DPG21920]

West and Kanter already going at it...they went at it last game to end it.

[tholdren]

Thats right david west... HELL YES

[Spurs9]

West already taking people out :lol

[Silver&Black]

Was Aldridge a good signing ? Tbh

My early leader for "Best Post ITT"

[Beaverfuzz]

That's a three shot foul. West's foul is after Durant's.

[turb0time]

DAVID WEST GOING AFTER HIM ALREADY LOL

[tholdren]

actually a foul on banter

[Chris]

Yup thats 3 ft's

[sasaint]

Double foul coming up. But Durant fouled first.

[ElNono]

[Spurs9]

West already taking people out :loli really hope we can keep West.

[spursparker9]

DAVID WEST GOING AFTER HIM ALREADY LOL

Law enforcer West

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

These refs are a joke.

[SpurPadre]

Great two man play with manu and LMA

[DPG21920]

I cannot express how much I am a fan of Danny Green.

[Keepin' it real]

Kanter started the play with a goatie, but ended with a porno mustache.

[spursparker9]

I wanna see some Boban

[atoyotagaspedal]

so kanter just sold it obviously

[Silver&Black]

Foot on the line.

[Spurs9]

Its gonna be a nauseating game with these fouls all game

[spursparker9]

I think it should be the first 3 by Durant this season that got blocked

[Chris]

buuuuullshiiiiit Thunderef

[Silver&Black]

West getting T'd up...

[RD2191]

Crofl fucking faggot refs

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

My goodness Thunderrefs in full force.

[loveforthegame]

BS call.

[Beaverfuzz]

That is not a technical foul...if that's a T, then so was WestBrick's earlier on Verde.

[tholdren]

Thunder... na na na na na na na na Thunderrefs.

[PopTheGOAT]

Tech :lol

[Stabula]

Tony Brothers in prime form tonight

[007nites]

Right when Webber was talking about how Kanter "dominated" us on the boards, West takes out Kanter :lol

[Ron Swanson]

That is not a technical foul...if that's a T, then so was WestBrick's earlier on Verde.

Exactly

[Chris]

Manu nice free throws

[Spurs9]

I expect for west to pick up another t in this game and be thrown out....

[tholdren]

how can you fucks even remotely like/respect or want DoucheRant on SA? Gross as Becky.

[Silver&Black]

Foot on the line.

^
No it wasn't faggot.

[Chris]

Aldridge is unconscious

[sasaint]

That is not a technical foul...if that's a T, then so was WestBrick's earlier on Verde.

Good point!

[GSH]

Creative officiating by these two? Who would have guessed?

[Ron Swanson]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU4333333

[Otaku]

LMA is killing them... SA already 40 in the 1st half roflmao

[DPG21920]

Spurs are going to be made to pay for these offensive rebounds eventually.

[loveforthegame]

Mannnnuuuuu!

[Chris]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU mothafuckers :lol

[ElNono]

Manu :wow

[PopTheGOAT]

[Spurs9]

43 points :wow :wow

[808]

Playoff switch ON

[DPG21920]

David West! Kanter is not moving well, that hip may be an issue. Kanter was in pain after West threw him down. Damn it Mills, that would have set the damn roof off.

[RD2191]

Mills you fucking trash ass faggot

[Beaverfuzz]

WEST REJECTION!


Good finish to the quarter though.


Need 62 points by the half to keep this mojo going.

[Chris]

Beautiful game still alive :cry

[hater]

Massive quarter

[From Downtown]

43 in the first quarter :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Best quarter since the 2014 Finals

[OrEmuN]

Manu 3 !

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Patty. You GOTSDA hit that!!

[loveforthegame]

Unbelievable first quarter.

[ElNono]

decent start for a change.... not contenders tho

/Darius Beiber

[sasaint]

43 points and 6 blocks. I'd call that a good start.

[GSH]

West with a big block on Kanter, and then Mills had to brick a wide open 3 to ruin a record quarter. :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That was amazing.

Dammit Patty. There goes the momentum.

[jermaine]

This game is far from over yal.....

[KDKSpurs24]

Couldn't have asked for a better start! :toast

[ElNono]

shades of 2014 where both teams blew eachother at home until Game 6

[808]

Cmon Patty. You GOTSDA hit that!!

:lol

[BillMc]

LMA so hot shouldn't have passed to Patty. Just shoot! :)

81% :lmao :lmao

[Floyd Pacquiao]

God. Do we really have 43? Did that quarter happen?!

[DPG21920]

Obviously shot making helps, but the Spurs are doing things with such decisiveness on offense. Getting to spots. Finding lanes, moving well and delivering on time/quick passes.

What a shocking start offensively after so many struggles. Make or miss, they are getting great looks in their spots. Let's hope they keep making :lol

[313]

Just got home :wow

[littlecoyotecoin]

Spurs been sandbagging, lol.

[Keepin' it real]

Get yo rhythm Patty.

[hitmanyr2k]

No one will ever accuse OKC of being a high IQ team :lol

[313]

[loveforthegame]

[Beaverfuzz]

1 of 3 Patty? That's a 3 point %, not a FT %.

[PopTheGOAT]

Man I though Kawhi hit a 3, 0-0 on the box score
long 2

[Silver&Black]

Hey ElNono

Where's our boy Beiber at?

[Chris]

lol Payne better stick to his dancing routines

[Spurs9]

Yeah, but this is only 3/3 for 3. And 23 pts blowout. Holy shit

Any team making 82% is going to blow out the opponent like this, dont expect for us to keep this up tbh

[DPG21920]

Mills with misses on FT and wide open corner 3. Need him to hit shots. Bench offense right now looking really rough.

[RD2191]

Crofl get that piece of shit off the floor

[Ron Swanson]

I think he's back :wow

[01Snake]

LDN, you sandbagging son of a bitch.

[Ron Swanson]

Billy Donovan just shit his pants

[DPG21920]

What an effort from David freaking WEST on Kanter. If West can do work like that on Kanter and keep him off the glass, that will absolutely be lights out for OKC.

That was one of their biggest match up advantages.

[hitmanyr2k]

Has OKC broken the record for most fouls on a 3 point shot yet?

[loveforthegame]

Got damn. This team is focused and hustling.

[SpurPadre]

That's game motherfuckers.

[SPURt]

I've given up on dirtying underwear, I'm just gonna wear a diaper and ride this on out
