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

[spursistan]

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

[Ice009]

LMA is the best offensive player on the team. They need to get him the ball more in good positions he can take advantage of.

[100%duncan]

TIMMY YOU OLD FUCK :lmao

[MVPCues]

Yet another unable to finish at the rim...

[Kawhitstorm]

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

The 2nd knee injury has made him toast

[NASpurs]

MVPatty!

Holy fuck Duncan though

[Mugen]

Cmon Timmy

[bklynspursfan]

Tim is pissing me off tonight. Wtf man

[GSH]

Shit! Tim just cannot finish if there's contact. And there almost always is.

[DPG21920]

Come on Tim! Finish the damn ball. Patty bailing us out there.

[sasaint]

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.

Uh, no. Defensive effort was lacking for the most part. That's why Pop pulled both Kawhi and Danny at the same time. Plus transition D is TURRIBLE.

[Holden_Caulfield]

duncan needs layup drills at halftime tbh

[Horry Hipcheck]

Mills is consistently amazing at 1) drawing charges and 2) getting fouled on a three attempt

[313]

Tim is a zero on offense

[beirmeistr]

I'm sick of td's missed layups

[InRareForm]

Poor Timmy

[SpurPadre]

TD can't finish

[Texas_Ranger]

hey tim make a fucking shot!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

All of that contact down low and no fouls at home???

[808]

Need to play Timmy every other game maybe shit

[gambit1990]

spurs playing better without parker.

[Mnky]

If nothing else, you know Duncan will have a good game in OKC. Usually plays good after sucking it up.

[davemaniscool]

Tim...stop shooting

[808]

Patty YOO

[Horry Hipcheck]

PATTY THRILLS FROM DEEP

[100%duncan]

MVPatty

[Darius Bieber]

Mills thinking he's Curry smh

[808]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG

[loveforthegame]

There you go!

[Ron Swanson]

Det tar heel triple

[Beaverfuzz]

VERDE
WOKE
UPPPPPPPPPP

[GSH]

Stay out on that 3P line, Danny!!!

[baseline bum]

LDN!

[FaM0us Skins]

Green!

[Splits]

[Horry Hipcheck]

GREEEEEEEENNNNNNN

[TampaDude]

Verde 333333!!!!!

[313]

MVPatty and LDN :tu

[ElNono]

er we gooooooooooooo......

[sasaint]

Leonard 0 points

Only like 2 attempts... :wow

[bklynspursfan]

So much like game 5..... lol.. we just need Manu to dunk on Ibaka and a pull up 3 by Kawhi for the lead

[100%duncan]

LDN. LDN. LDN.



Green haters :lmao

[hater]

Amazing play by Kawhi :wow

[SpurPadre]

LDN!

[Budkin]

Finally starting to play!

[InRareForm]

Back to back

[Spurs9]

Okc wont win this too much hero ball, thats why its good when westbrook put up all those shots early

[TDfan2007]

Timmy looks cooked tonight, but we're back in it!

[boutons_deux]

Game fucking on, okies

[SPURt]

It's about to be pee pee pants city here in a minute.

[Mnky]

Patty needs to shoot with more arc like he did on Durant. His shot has gotten noticeably flatter. Constantly clunking them.

[DPG21920]

Out of my chair now! Swag boys!

[noles1983]

bye bye okc, nice try

[DarrinS]

Suck it, Green haters

[100%duncan]

Playoff Patty and Playoff Danny. :tu

[random21]

Green and patty!!!!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Got us a motherfucking ball game

[Ron Swanson]

Happy learned how to putt. Uh oh.

[benefactor]

Letd:lolwn

[Capt Bringdown]

2nd quarter, we need to start out guns blazing
Just what the doktor ordered :)

[ace3g]

https://media.giphy.com/media/YPIrsRqqO7oB2/giphy.gif

[Mugen]

Took their KO punch and we still standing. Let's get ittttttttttttttt

[ElNono]

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

fuck you... :lol

[hater]

Duncan looks busted. But he still one of our better defensive bigs. But on. o he is attrocious

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The onslaught begins...

[Kawhitstorm]

Duncan needs to hit his fucking layups, goddamn.

He has to start using the glass like Tiago.:bang

[spurraider21]

even though west scored, there is hesitation every time somebody catches the ball
shooters firing with no conscience since... good to see :tu

also props ElNono, el cliente revived the game tbh

[BillMc]

I never thought I'd say this but I'm worried about TImmy's offense.

[GSH]

Only like 2 attempts... :wow


0-4. But he'll catch up.

[Robz4000]

If Tim could hit a chip shot they'd have a 5-7 point lead tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Letd:lolwn

:cry why you so cocky, Spurs fans
:cry Fear Roberson and Waiters

[100%duncan]

Pop :lol

Benching Danny :lol

[Fireball]

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

my post was a little delayed ... now we are right back

[Gametight]

haha I love this fucking team :flag:

[SupremeGuy]

If Pop comes back with Tony he's a no good commie spy broskis.

[spurraider21]

Duncan looks busted. But he still one of our better defensive bigs. But on. o he is attrocious
yeah he's been a disaster on offense so far :lol... but im sure the layups will start to fall. gotta keep him in

[Kawhitstorm]

Duncan looks busted. But he still one of our better defensive bigs. But on. o he is attrocious

Just have to treat him like 2008 Perkins:lobt:

[Vokun]

Small dick nigga back to long dick nigga :tu

[313]

It'd be nice if Kawhi got in on this

[100%duncan]

I never thought I'd say this but I'm worried about TImmy's offense.

Im not. What Im worried is why Pop keeps running things through him.

[ace3g]

Manu Ginobili now has 100 career playoff games with a three-pointer off the bench, the most in NBA history. 2nd-most: Robert Horry with 38.

[Mal]

Westbrook coming back, will see how OKC will keep it rolling for them from now

[007nites]

Timmy needs to throw it down. On Ibaka.

[boutons_deux]

I'm so sad for td

[100%duncan]

It'd be nice if Kawhi got in on this

co-sign...

[SupremeGuy]

Im not. What Im worried is why Pop keeps running things through him.This x a million!

damn :worthy:

[td4mvp21]

He has to start using the glass like Tiago.:bang

You have to think he'll start hitting them when they need him to, though.

[Mugen]

Not worried about Timmy. He'll adjust to finishing against their bigs. Giving the best power forward of all time (even at 40) point blank looks is not a sustainable formula.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking INCREDIBLE defense by Patty there on KD.

[808]

Patty drawing 3 offensive fouls damn game changing lil nigga

[100%duncan]

Missed a travel :lol Got an offensive foul for it

[SPURt]

Donovan sounds like Pops handicapped brother. Poor OKC

[GSH]

Patty already sucked out 2 charges, and drew that foul on Durant.

[hater]

Boban!!!;;;;;!!!!!!!!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Boban coming in.

[SupremeGuy]

Oh shit Boban?!

[100%duncan]

Fucking Kawhi

[GSH]

Danny is absolutely deadly on the post-whistle 3

[NASpurs]

Bobaaaannn

[bklynspursfan]

Green hitting the 3 after the whistle. Great sign

[hater]

Booooooooobaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!

[boutons_deux]

DG 100% 3g dead ball

[Horry Hipcheck]

LMA fucking balling out there.

[Ron Swanson]

Pop unleashing the Boban early

[808]

DAMN LMA is so focused

[DPG21920]

Kawhi needs to slow down but be more aware.

[loveforthegame]

LMA. :worthy:

[Spurs9]

I called it tbh :lmao

[100%duncan]

LMA is such a fucking alpha

[313]

Playoff LaMarcus :tu

[sasaint]

Im not. What Im worried is why Pop keeps running things through him.

Just let Tim play D, and forget about him on O.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Get your shit together Leonard

[TDfan2007]

Timmy getting benched for boban

[Mugen]

Parker needs to show the fuck up right now.

[Horry Hipcheck]

LMAutomatic

[Mnky]

Leonard's lack of consistency will hurt us bad against the warriors. Thankful we have a go to offensive superstar. When Kawhi gets on that level, which he will one day, we will be so scary.

[Chris]

LMA :worthy:

[Kawhitstorm]

B:lolB:wown

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

LMA is fire

[loveforthegame]

Leonard's defensive intensity picked up. Now his offense needs to follow.

[100%duncan]

We need to suck LMA's dick if we win this tbh

[Ron Swanson]

KD didn't want any part of Boban there.

[GSH]

That turnover was because he saw Bobi in front of him.

[Chris]

there we go Kiwi

[313]

Kawhi needs to slow down but be more aware.
Dion Waiters with the Bonner effect. Kawhi sees Dion on him and gets too excited for his own good.

[steeledl]

Aldridge is so fucking good.

[loveforthegame]

There you go Leonard. :tu

When posting him they need to clear out.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi is late to the party. But I'll take it.

[davemaniscool]

Here comes OKC self destruct

[808]

Lmao Kanter you bitch, looking like he got shot in the head

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Boban just needs to keep his damn hands up

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi :cry
Aldridge :cry

[TampaDude]

New ballgame!

[spurraider21]

aldridge CARRYING

[GSH]

Boban with the hammer-drop on Kanter. :D

[Chris]

Thunderflop flopping all over the place

[Spurs9]

Timmy getting benched for boban

Pop trying a bunch of things to see what works later, throw him in for a few early in the game. If he effects the game, he will be used at other points in series. OkC will think twice at constantly driving to basket.

[ElNono]

that porn actor was traveling

[100%duncan]

aldridge CARRYING

Is he worth it

[Mal]

So many OKC calls

[Mnky]

Just let Tim play D, and forget about him on O.

Thunder defense is dictating those plays. They're doubling lma, and lettings the 3 pT shooters drive. Duncan is the beneficiary, has to make them pay for that if Kawhi is in a drought.

[Mugen]

:lol Please prove me wrong about having Boban in right now.

[01Snake]

Not a single FT for us yet.

[Robz4000]

Even 5-on-8 the Spurs look like the superior team.

[hater]

GOAT Adams is the only big I've seen push around Boban tbh.

Not even Cousins did that.

gmGOAT Adams...

[100%duncan]

I dont get why we benched Tim for Boban... We dont need more offense. We need defense.

[Capster]

We need to suck LMA's dick if we win this tbh
Sure. You first!

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice job Lamarcus. Get Adams out of the game.

[BillMc]

Thunder defense is dictating those plays. They're doubling lma, and lettings the 3 pT shooters drive. Duncan is the beneficiary, has to make them pay for that if Kawhi is in a drought.

This.

[sasaint]

aldridge CARRYING

True! No chance without him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Playing Boban was a mistake, he looks lost out there.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Aldridge is seriously putting in work this series.

[Spurs9]

Boban will have a highlight dunk soon

[baseline bum]

Holy fuck, Spurs are actually getting a FT?

[Chris]

Adams is being a little bitch throwing elbows and shoving people after the play

[100%duncan]

LMA alpha as fuck

[hater]

LMALPHA...

[spurraider21]

offense has been pretty iso heavy with LMA and Kawhi. i dont know how long it can be sustained

[100%duncan]

Sure. You first!

Gladly....

[turb0time]

Lol our first FT? How many have the Thunderefs received?

[Spurs9]

Man what ever happend to tyrus thomas?

[808]

Kawaii heating up

[100%duncan]

Man fucking BOban cant guard the roll

[loveforthegame]

Keep attacking Leonard.

[GSH]

WTF was Boban doing coming out on WB and leaving Adams?

[Chris]

atta boy Tony fighting for that rebound

[Beaverfuzz]

Take the lead here baby! :flag:

[100%duncan]

Kawhi :wow

[Horry Hipcheck]

Parker hustling to fight for that rebound.

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[Chris]

Kiwi time :tu

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI!

[808]

Kawaii heating up

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There ya go Leonard

[Budkin]

L TRAIN earning dat paycheck

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. The beast has woke up. :worthy:

[steeledl]

Kawhi getting going !

[100%duncan]

Kawhi making me jizz

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi heating up

[GSH]

Here comes Kawhi. They're screwed.

And he's yelling at the refs! They're really screwed.

[313]

:wow: Kawhi pissed

[SASdynasty!]

Porker

[Mugen]

:lol I'll take it, BOban

[ElNono]

smh Danny Porker wake the fuck up

[Spurs9]

I wouldnt mind adams on the spurs

[Beaverfuzz]

That turnover was actually on Verde...

[100%duncan]

:lol porker



Kawhi mad as fuck now :wow

[808]

Would love for Baka to fall in love with the 3

[Horry Hipcheck]

Parker giveth, Parker taketh away

[td4mvp21]

Kawhi getting no respect from the officials :lol

[100%duncan]

:wow: Kawhi pissed

Alpha :wow

[313]

Parker hustling to fight for that rebound.
Head of the snake

[ElNono]

Get Manu back in there, close the quarter in style

[Robz4000]

Durant starting to look shook. If the Spurs can pull this one out he might start mentally checking out.

[Holden_Caulfield]

damn kawhi yelling :lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs still not playing as well as they did in Game 1, but they're showing tenacity and aggression. I'll take that over what could have easily been an OKC skull fucking.

[DPG21920]

So much contact with the Spurs going into the lane not called. So many reaches and pulls and pushes and can't get a damn FT. Spurs should be in the bonus very soon though.

[TDfan2007]

How are we winning this game? :lol

[100%duncan]

Durant starting to look shook. If the Spurs can pull this one out he might start mentally checking out.

Lebron 2014 all over again

[davemaniscool]

KL playing like a boss against pretty good Roberson defense

[GSH]

:lol I'll take it, BOban


That's what I thought. Nothing got hurt. Actually the Spurs were +6 while he was in there. That's a successful outing.

[Ron Swanson]

Lebron 2014 all over again

Kill the AC

[dabom]

Boban clutch time

[Mnky]

offense has been pretty iso heavy with LMA and Kawhi. i dont know how long it can be sustained

That's the benefit of a superstar. Lower level players NEED plays drawn up. Superstars don't. You're just not used to having one since prime Duncan/manu.

Both of them are passing out of doubles and finding open men too. One on one they should regularly have the advantage.

[Kawhitstorm]

I dont get why we benched Tim for Boban... We dont need more offense. We need defense.

Boban was playing over West:wakeup

[ElNono]

luckily they went away from Westchuck, he was killing us early

[sasaint]

I wouldnt mind adams on the spurs

I have thought so since he entered the league.

[Vokun]

Boban giving so-so quality minutes out there.

[100%duncan]

Yup. Good point man,

[DPG21920]

OKC playing well but I am so damn impressed w SA's half court defense. Gave up a few open looks but for the most part very good contests all around.

Boban looked shaky but then had a good close out on Durant that forced that miss.

[313]

Alpha :wow
All those chats he had with Parker paying off :wow

learned from the best :worthy:

:lol

[GSH]

So much contact with the Spurs going into the lane not called. So many reaches and pulls and pushes and can't get a damn FT. Spurs should be in the bonus very soon though.


Oh, what are you griping about? OKC has only taken 14. :lol

[coachmac87]

OKC relies sooooooop much on the whistle

[Mugen]

will tony parker please make an appearance this game

[SpursforSix]

Lebron 2014 all over again

I hate LeBron. But Durant is way more mentally weak than LBJ. I can see it in his eyes. I can. See it.

[100%duncan]

Boban was playing over West:wakeup

Tim was benched for Boban bruh.

[TampaDude]

Billy D shitting pants.

Spurs sweep.

[sasaint]

Kill the AC

:lmao

[DPG21920]

luckily they went away from Westchuck, he was killing us early

Spurs started making so he didn't get crossed matched in transition.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

How are we winning this game? :lol

Because the Thunder arent very good lol. If they lose this game by 10+ it will demoralizing. We played as bad as possible for almost an entire quarter.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Aldridge gonna have to go for 40 again.

[100%duncan]

All those chats he had with Parker paying off :wow

learned from the best :worthy:

:lol

:lmao better him chatting with Porky than his girlfriend tbh... :wakeup

[Chris]

Kiwi attacking

[808]

Aggressive Kawhi just opens EVERYTHING up

[random21]

Kawhi is pissed off

[TDfan2007]

That was a GORGEOUS dribble move by Kawhi

[ElNono]

will tony parker please make an appearance this game

no

[beirmeistr]

kawhi is possessed

[Capster]

LOVE SPURS basketball!!!

[313]

So much contact with the Spurs going into the lane not called. So many reaches and pulls and pushes and can't get a damn FT. Spurs should be in the bonus very soon though.
We've barely attacked the rim to be honest

[100%duncan]

Wow what was that?

Kawhi got a call? What?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi with the great moves. He's pissed

[Mugen]

Kawhi just needs to slow down and he'll be fine.

[spurraider21]

That's the benefit of a superstar. Lower level players NEED plays drawn up. Superstars don't. You're just not used to having one since prime Duncan/manu.

Both of them are passing out of doubles and finding open men too. One on one they should regularly have the advantage.
guilty

[Ron Swanson]

WTF Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

Make your fts. :bang

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi missing free throws. Wow

[Beaverfuzz]

Shoot next FT's left handed Kiwi.

[spursistan]

Kawhi missing FTs bad sign.

[100%duncan]

NVM.

[Chris]

nice pass Durant :lol

[Ice009]

Leonard's defensive intensity picked up. Now his offense needs to follow.

This is why I said a few weeks ago that I couldn't rate him above Curry, Lebron, Westbrook and Durant. His offense isn't there yet. He needs to be more consistent. Overall, yes, I would say he's the second best player because of his overall play, but offensively, he only just scrapes into the top 5 behind those guys. He needs to get more consistent on offense.

[SupremeGuy]

lol shitty d leads to a turnover

[SPURt]

Did Pop say that to you Chris?

[Capt Bringdown]

*choke* not a good sign

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi with shades of 6 on those FTs

[Mugen]

Roberson is unplayable. Danny didn't even follow him to the other side of the court

[loveforthegame]

Shooting 96% and misses two. :vomit:

[GSH]

WTF Kawhi? Missing both FT's? He just doesn't look locked in.
