Game Thread: Spurs vs OKC -- Game 2 - Mon (5/2) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga)

[808]

I think Spurs had 20 more points at this point last game

[MVPCues]

Just a slow start. No need to panic.

[NASpurs]

I have the Benny Hill song in my head.

[01Snake]

Down by 5 after all that, LOL

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs on pace for 10 points in the quarter.

[GSH]

Shit, they didn't even bother to come out to Tony on that corner 3. Just let him take all the time he wanted to line it up. But he hit the rim... I mean, he's got that going for him.

[NASpurs]

After all that, only a five point deficit. :lol

[afireinside20]

This start is Pops fault. After Game 1, he said we prolly wouldn't be shooting like that again. While that would be true, he kind of psyched his own team out and put it in they're heads that they would'nt shoot like that again. Come on Pop, fucking it up again.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Things are going really well other than the fact no one can really make any shots, just keep running the offense and things should be fine; the defense should get better when the Thunder have less fast-break opportunities off misses.

[ducks]

Missed 6 shots in paint will be fine

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Fuck you pop put manu in

[Mugen]

They'll fall soon.

[DarrinS]

Meh, not worried

[mexicanjunior]

Worst start in Spurs playoff history? Game 1 was such a fluke.

[Mnky]

Spurs 2/14 and thunder can't pull away...

Sweep.

[TampaDude]

We got this shit, folks. Don't be fooled.

[NASpurs]

Shit, they didn't even bother to come out to Tony on that corner 3. Just let him take all the time he wanted to line it up. But he hit the rim... I mean, he's got that going for him.

Extend his contact!

[BillMc]

I'm worried we might not get to 43 this quarter.

[benefactor]

All that and only down five.

Spurs aren't losing more than a game to these faggots.

[TDfan2007]

:lol equal opportunity sucking by everyone. Thunder defense is still trash, but we can't hit shit

[808]

2-14 fg and down by only 5. OKC = fucked

[sasaint]

Just a slow start. No need to panic.

Back to the norm, tbh.

[RD2191]

Lol Spurs

[BillMc]

The Ghost of 2012 Ibaka is haunting the Spurs at the rim

Yep

[beirmeistr]

give the ball to lma

[NASpurs]

MVPatty is going to break this shit open. (I hope)

[Cry Havoc]

If the Thunder were shooting 1-13 we'd be up by 15.

[spurraider21]

spurs half court defense keeping them in it, but they have to clean up on transition

[Mnky]

The Ghost of 2012 Ibaka is haunting the Spurs at the rim

Where's Cory when you need him...

Give him back drake!

[BillMc]

give the ball to lma

[steeledl]

Not frettin at this point.

[Kawhitstorm]

727315047198822400

727314914692321280

[NASpurs]

48 minutes all night long :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

SIT DANNY DOWN NOW.

[spurraider21]

starting bonner in game 5 is what turned things around in 2014 tbh... things to consider
ElNono

[TampaDude]

Not worried at all. Sweep.

[random21]

This crowd sucks too... I know not that much to cheer about now

[ElNono]

falling asleep on D... smh

[loveforthegame]

:vomit:

[Robz4000]

Eww

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao.. Spurs aren't gonna beat OKC in this series. Game 1 was a fluke.

[100%duncan]

lmfao leaving KD open

[TDfan2007]

Wow...transition defense is nonexistent

[steeledl]

Transition bucket after translation bucket.

[808]

DG's confidence has to be kinda low right about now

[Mugen]

:lol Yeesh, I hope the bench can do some work.

[timtonymanu]

Wake up Danny. Jesus.

[Chinook]

Kawhi is sooo bad in transition D.

[Mnky]

Post up? Westbrook was at the 3pT line. :lol

[ElNono]

wonder is Chinook will count det one as Danny falling asleep? :lol

[spurraider21]

crofl leaving danny by himself to guard both westbrook and durant :lol

[mexicanjunior]

Regular season Green back in full force.

[noles1983]

shit start as expected

[Texas_Ranger]

well this is fun....

[Kawhitstorm]

Is Pop gonna have to choke Danny?:lol

[Gametight]

Just tuned in to witness DG miss a damn layup...sounds like were shooting like shit but only down 5...could be worse i guess

[Beaverfuzz]

FLAGRANT on Manu.

They reviewed less than that twice last game. :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

You knew this was coming

[NASpurs]

Pop with the "bench the starters" card

[spurraider21]

wonder is Chinook will count det one as Danny falling asleep? :lol


Kawhi is sooo bad in transition D.

[BillMc]

Fortunately, OKC specializes in blowing leads. But let's not wait until the 4th quarter.

[steeledl]

Lol mills wtf.

[100%duncan]

:lmao

[hater]

:lmao spurs

:lol mills

[Uriel]

:lmao This was so predictable.

[Robz4000]

Jesus

[Chinook]

Wake up Danny. Jesus.

That had nothing to do with Green. Kawhi's standing in the paint while Green is running between both KD and Russ.

[DPG21920]

Mills has proven he can't handle pressure in a playoff setting (ball handling). Can't have that.

[Spurs9]

:lol pop puts a entire new limeup in

[spurraider21]

patty mills trying to be a real point guard :lol

[HI-FI]

nice cajones from Pop to roll with the bench.

[Beaverfuzz]

TURNOBLI!

[Spurs9]

Turnobili

[loveforthegame]

Mills and Manu with dumb turnovers.

[NASpurs]

:lmao bunch of retards

[Amuseddaysleeper]

People may be making fun of OKC but if Spurs keep this up they'll be down 15+ very quickly.

[ElNono]

Jeez Manu... everybody asleep at the wheel tonight

[TDfan2007]

like I said, equal opportunity trash

[mexicanjunior]

Thunder have this shit figured out. They are taking us in 5.

[DPG21920]

Spurs turning it over, fouling and not converting. Everything bad.

[steeledl]

Ginobili per par.

[TampaDude]

Guess we want to give them one so we can close at home. LOL

[Beaverfuzz]

patty mills trying to be a real point guard :lol

Have Miller or Simmons run the point if you really want a true PG out there.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why is Patty bringing up the ball against pressure when Manu is on the court?:downspin:

[Darius Bieber]

It's been a great season tbh

[100%duncan]

People may be making fun of OKC but if Spurs keep this up they'll be down 15+ very quickly.

I dont get their confidence :lol

[Mal]

OMG

[resistanze]

Shockingly idiotic play. What are they doing?

[spurraider21]

turnobili

[Beaverfuzz]

Westbrick will do that all game long. Gotta stop the ball.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fouls every time down the floor, sheesh.

[Texas_Ranger]

what a fucking joke.... the 76ers would be looking 100X better right now

[RD2191]

Crofl Spurs. Pretenders. Bold my nigga Darius Bieber.

[Spurs9]

In b4 10 point quarter :lol

[steeledl]

Kyle Anderson in mud.

[resistanze]

The sad part is OKC isn't even doping anything special; completely self-inflicted.

[100%duncan]

Fuck this piece of shit crowd too. :lol

[SPURt]

From the best quarter I've ever seen to the worst. Yikes

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Lol dumb ****** spur fan. "We're just missing shots "

[Capt Bringdown]

This game might be over pretty soon.

[loveforthegame]

Glad Pop changed the offensive game plan. It's worked out well.

[ElNono]

we're gonna go from a 43pt 1st quarter to a 6pt 1st quarter... :lol

[DPG21920]

8FT's for OKC, 4 TO's for SA & sub-20% shooting. Ya. Need to focus now.

[hater]

:lmao pop silm trotting out Manures corps :lmao

[Mnky]

Post Kyle up..

[Kawhitstorm]

Miss layup ---> fastbreak

[Spurs9]

How soon before pop unleashes boban? He should do it to stop the driving tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

LAMARCUS
ALLLLLLDRIDGE!

[Mnky]

Letting Westbrook rest on defense. Make him move..

[spurraider21]

:lmao pop pulling green and leonard at the same time to :cry make a point :cry

[Ice009]

Wow. This game is getting out on hand. Pathetic.

Spurs fans here making all those retarded threads. I told you dumb shits it's only one game.

Spurstalk posters can reach the highest of highs. I hope you guys aren't like that in real life.

[Beaverfuzz]

PATTY THANK YOU!

[KDKSpurs24]

I'm not panicking or anything.. but why does this always happen? The team has a weird mentality after a big blowout. I don't know what it is.

[Russ]

3-17

[Mugen]

:lol Did the team think that OKC was just going to lay down in Game 2?

[808]

Why did they pan to the bench lmao

[100%duncan]

Nice. More turnovers.

[Beaverfuzz]

DEFENSE!

[ElNono]

there we go Gino

[spursgu]

People scoff my dude TD21 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8), but the Spurs tendencies to fold into soft niggas is always so predictable.

[spurraider21]

How soon before pop unleashes boban? He should do it to stop the driving tbh
yeah getting the slowest footed player on the team in the game will really shore up the transition D

[Ron Swanson]

Grab a fucking rebound

[Mugen]

No Kawhi or Danny right now is just asking for trouble.

[loveforthegame]

Rebound. ffs.

[KDKSpurs24]

Nobody wants a fucking loose ball!

[100%duncan]

Noone rebounding nice.

[Spurs9]

#freeboban

[DPG21920]

I know Pop is mad, but it's dumb to not stagger Danny/Kawhi. Having them both off the floor is bad news and now the effort on rebounding gone too?

[daslicer]

Wow. This game is getting out on hand. Pathetic.

Spurs fans here making all those retarded threads. I told you dumb shits it's only one game.

Spurstalk posters can reach the highest of highs. I hope you guys aren't like that in real life.

Agreed they are a bipolar bunch.

[Budkin]

The Spurs got full of themselves again.

[loveforthegame]

No Kawhi or Danny right now is just asking for trouble.

Yup. But Pop loves making points.

[spurraider21]

:lmao nobody going for the rebound

[Budkin]

:lol Did the team think that OKC was just going to lay down in Game 2?

Yes they did. This is what the Spurs do.

[baseline bum]

Just gotta keep reasonably close early on, I till think the Sprs will find a way to pull this out.

[Horry Hipcheck]

:lol Did the team think that OKC was just going to lay down in Game 2?

Only idiot fans that get too emotional really thought OKC was done. I knew they'd play better, but I didn't think the Spurs would look THIS bad.

[Beaverfuzz]

Aldridge is heating up.

[MVPCues]

OKC played pretty well. A lot of energy and focus. Spurs just need to get going to match the intensity. Down by 5 at end of 1st quarter would be good.

[steeledl]

Thank goodness for LMA

[Spurs9]

dont even feel that bad with the game right now, we got frogger taking most of the shots, it will pay off later

[100%duncan]

LMAlpha

[beirmeistr]

gino feeding lma

[spurraider21]

even though west scored, there is hesitation every time somebody catches the ball

[baseline bum]

Yes they did. This is what the Spurs do.

:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

This is like the 1st quarter of the 2014 Finals closeout game

[Beaverfuzz]

West from LMA!

[100%duncan]

:lma :worthy:

[Spurs9]

Keep firing westbrook :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

No West, you can not simply run back after your shot at this age. :lol

BIG HEAD FOUL

[InRareForm]

Aldridge saved us from a game that could have gotten way out of hand.

[Mnky]

LMA is legitimately the most competitive spurs player we have. Big time player man.

[DPG21920]

Is that David Westbrook? What kind of shot was that.

[100%duncan]

How do you foul on that Kyle? :lol

[ElNono]

don't foul the fucking shooter

[TDfan2007]

Westbrook shitting all over us per par

[808]

LMA sucha boss

[Beaverfuzz]

ok offense is heating up, TIME FOR BETTER D!

[SupremeGuy]

Why did we start the game trying to go through TD and TP?

[beirmeistr]

balls of reinforced steel ginobili

[100%duncan]

LMAlpha :worthy:

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Kawhi playing like a pussy

[Kawhitstorm]

hmF340SFgwE

[TDfan2007]

David West has been utter trash. We need Diaw

[NASpurs]

:lol why is Manu still on Westbrook?

[ElNono]

we're a fouling machine

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck.

[DPG21920]

12 FT's for OKC in the FIRST DAMN QUARTER. None for SA? SA was getting inside a ton too.

[mexicanjunior]

Is no one even going to get in front of Westbrook? This shit is ridiculous...

[sasaint]

Kanter unguarded in the lane. :wow

[Robz4000]

God damn Spurs, you're letting the Thunder impose their will.

[Capt Bringdown]

It's gonna be hard to come back. Shitty starts suck.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs can't afford going to OKC tied 1-1. OKC will demolish them at home.

[808]

hmF340SFgwE

dejavu

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bench West immediately.

[ace3g]

:bang Webber

I wonder if LA dislocating his finger was a blessing in a disguise, forces him to use his left hand a little more in the post. Gives him more offensive options down there.

[Beaverfuzz]

Penis Kanter looks like the logger from the Village People.

[keeferob25]

West is such a defensive and rebounding liability

[100%duncan]

12 FT's for OKC in the FIRST DAMN QUARTER. None for SA? SA was getting inside a ton too.

Meh. Our defense has been shit.

[DPG21920]

Well, with regards to my barometers, just an awful start. Well on pace for more than 20 FTs, TO on pace to exceed average & gave up some OFF REBs

[Vokun]

OKC is doing absolutely NOTHING. The lack of effort from the Spurs is mind-boggling right now. They are literally acting like this is a pickup game.

[TampaDude]

2014 Finals Game 5. Remember.

[spurraider21]

2nd unit is trading baskets

[808]

Penis Kanter looks like the logger from the Village People.

:rollin

[Budkin]

Reminds me of Game 5 of the Finals

[bklynspursfan]

It'll be so much more demoralizing for okc to start so good and lose. We've got 3 more quarters to make up for our shitty start
Yes their energy is better, but we made it so easy on them with our missed shots and lazy defense.

2nd quarter, we need to start out guns blazing

[Mnky]

Am I the only one who thinks Spurs win easily?

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU
4
3333333333

[loveforthegame]

Nice play. Manu 3.

[ElNono]

det Client

[TampaDude]

Ginóbili!!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck yea Manu.... just like game 5 in 2014

[Fireball]

this is worse than anything I could make up in my dreams

[FaM0us Skins]

Manu!

[TDfan2007]

Manu has much massive testicles

[baseline bum]

Nice, survived the quarter. Now time for Wing Stop to get this game back under control.

[100%duncan]

Thank you Manu. :lol still better than Porker's orchestrated offense

[Beaverfuzz]

Well to really play that shitty and down 8...not too bad.
:flag:

[Spurs9]

Only down 8, sweet

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ginobili clutch first quarter three. Feels like it should be a lot worse than an eight point deficit. Let's hope the Spurs wake the hell up.

[SupremeGuy]

OKC came out with their best punch and we're only down 8?! Fuck...

We need to stop trying to run pick and roll with TP and Timmy. Adams and Ibaka are too athletic for Tim these days.

[Vokun]

How the fuck are we only down by 8 after that shit quarter?

[benefactor]

:wakeup

[Spurs9]

Manu has much massive testicles

Monobili

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Down 8, good enough after that start. Thunder made some tough shots; as long as Spurs don't keep missing easy shots, I think the Thunder will slow down offensively without their semi transition offense. Just got to watch out for offensive rebounding and I think the Spurs will get it much closer by half.

[Mugen]

Offense heating up. The Spurs just need to adjust to OKC running on every single rebound / inbounds.

Clean up the transition D and let Kawhi slow down Westbrook, and they should chip away at this lead.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Kawhi needs to sack up

[BillMc]

In the end, it could have been worse. Reel em in now.

[Holden_Caulfield]

West is such a defensive and rebounding liability
plus he cant hit his js

[024]

Ugh, you would think the Spurs would have anticipated the Thunder adjustments and make adjustments of their own.

Still, seems like a winnable game since the defensive effort is still there. Really need to make smarter decisions on offense though and limit the turnovers.

[Robz4000]

At least they're only down 8. Take smart shots, take care of the ball, and rebound; OKC can't score enough if those three things happen.

[DarrinS]

Just a bad start. We kickin dis ass. Believe

[808]

Spurs just pulling a '14 finals game 5 by letting OKC blow their load then crushing det ass

[hater]

this is worse than anything I could make up in my dreams

Not That Bad. Should b worse imo. oKC fuck III Ng themselves with turnovers. If they don't lead by 15+ at halftime they are in trouble

[GSH]

OKC is fucked. It looked like the Spurs might not score more than about 10 in that quarter. And as bad as it looked, the Spurs only gave up 3 more points than they did in the 3rd and 4th quarters last game. Westbrook will tire, and the Spurs will grind them down.

[Dex]

Manu fuckin' Ginobili.

One of the oldest on the team, and the only guy who came looking like he wants to play tonight. Hopefully the rest of the team wakes up.

Respect.

[SupremeGuy]

We might need TP to stay on the bench of OKC keeps playing like this...

[DPG21920]

Disgusting, frustrating 1st Q Spur fans, but there was good in there (offensively). Have to value the ball, stop fouling and hit some damn shots.

Have a good 2nd and no one remembers this one. Pop can't afford to send messages here. He can't have DG/Kawhi yanked especially when KD/WB are always on the damn floor (at least one of them is at all times). They will play at least 40MPG so Pop has to find ways to keep a good rotation.

[SPURt]

Im amazed the Spurs broke 20 considering that horrible start. Those 6 OKC turnovers are gonna haunt the Thunder.

[BillMc]

Monobili
:lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

Am I the only one who thinks Spurs win easily?

Spurs will either keep within striking distance and never get over the hump, or they'll surge ahead a la Game 5 against Miami. I have a feeling it's one of those two.

[timtonymanu]

Survived that. OKC is desperate. If Wing Stop and Duncan can stop playing their worst ball, we should have this.

[ducks]

Manu is going off tonight

[davemaniscool]

Spurs will be up by half. Comically bad shooting in the first few minutes.

[BillMc]

LMA and Manu only ones to play well so far.

[SPURt]

Ginobili in 2014 finals game 5 mode

[Spurminator]

So many missed layups. That won't continue.

[Horry Hipcheck]

How the fuck are we only down by 8 after that shit quarter?

OKC is more fucked than they're aware, that's how.

[100%duncan]

KD on Green has worked. Nice adjustment by Donovan.

[hater]

Yeah looks its like one of this throwback games for Evita

Hopefully he doesn't fuck it up late in the game

[Mugen]

Pop absolutely cannot have a short leash on Danny (even if Manu is heating up, bench KA). He is critical to this series.

[ducks]

Leonard 0 points

[Splits]

At least we're not down 23

[MVPCues]

Single digits at least. Was looking real bleak when it was something like 16 to 4. Bottom line is Kawhi, Timmy, Green are 1 for 12. Unable to finish at the room was the difference in losing by 8 and a tied game.

[NASpurs]

:lol such a range of emotions in that first quarter, I feel good though

[GSH]

Manu fuckin' Ginobili.

One of the oldest on the team, and the only guy who came looking like he wants to play tonight. Hopefully the rest of the team wakes up.

Respect.



Nono needs to warm up his bump.

[spursistan]

Tim finishing at the rim has been godawful this season..it is not about the Ibaka effect..

[Vokun]

Westbrook can't keep that motor up all game, let alone all series.

[Mal]

Missed layup allowed OKC to run the floor. It`s easy adjustment

[K...]

Second quarter is Kyle time...get pumped! ! ! ! !

[Horry Hipcheck]

Why do we have Marv Albert again? Aren't we owed Kevin Harlan?

[100%duncan]

Pop absolutely cannot have a short leash on Danny (even if Manu is heating up, bench KA). He is critical to this series.

Winning formula, bench DG and Kawhi when WB and KD are on the floor. Only Pop.

[TDfan2007]

Thunder are playing much faster and we're not ready yet

[timtonymanu]

:wakeup

Funny seeing all the :cry "I'm scared of the Thunder" Spurs fan melting down on cue

[DPG21920]

Man, Kawhi hit with his 2nd foul on what would have been a break away dunk

[Horse]

Real concerned with the zebras right now

[loveforthegame]

Timmy. :(

[808]

Dude Tim

[Mnky]

Leonard two quick fouls.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan needs to hit his fucking layups, goddamn.

[TDfan2007]

Jesus, Timmy

[daslicer]

Duncan again showing he's 80 years old.
