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

[Horry Hipcheck]

Still not pretty, but the Spurs have now won the second and third quarters.

[hater]

Damn. Westbrook really killing us tonight. He sits and we have a chance in hell

[td4mvp2k]

u see Westchimp :lol

[RD2191]

Kawhi just pulling a Parker.

[kaji157]

Again Leonard needs to defend and let the offense go through Manu and Lma

[SpurPadre]

some of the best defense I've ever seen Patty play, tbh

[313]

Alpha brook going to play the entire fourth. This could be good or bad.

[Mugen]

Kawhi needs to go to the basket every single time tbh. Force them to call it.

[Mal]

Kawhi is just off today. We need to be on top before Westbrook comes back, that will mess them up

[SPURt]

Shooting like butt from downtown, Tim has been awful, Serge and Westbrook are at their ceiling yet the Spurs are only down a point. Crazy

[Robz4000]

Kawhi/LMA need to play the entire 4th.

This. No minutes restrictions, four days off after this.

[look_at_g_shred]

No more one on one..move the ball and we get what we want.

[DPG21920]

Win the quarter, win the game. It's not going to all be easy especially when you play a team with 2 great players. Execute. No need to be a hero, just do your damn job and do it well. Go on a run and throw a haymaker to see how this team responds.

[Budkin]

We need Kawhi to win this shit for us.

[MultiTroll]

Keep feeding LMA.
Hes been nails all night.

Release The Boban!

[BillMc]

Cool. When we win this, it will technically go down as another 4th quarter Thunder collapse. :flag:

[baseline bum]

I don't understand Pop's defensive gameplan tonight at all. I remember when he used to switch AJ onto Dirk, but that was to keep Nash out of the lane. What the fuck is the point of having Kawhi switched onto Cameron Payne to stick your midget PG on Durant? And why is Billy Donovan not running a Durant/Payne screen every single possession?

[RD2191]

Gotta stop Westchimp.

[hater]

Just hand the ball to LMAlpha and get the fuck out da way

[Ice009]

Leonard is not a go to offensive player that can create on the last possession. I'm not sure if that is the right way to use Kawhi in a last possession type of situation. What do you guys think?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't want Duncan on the floor again tonight.

I think this series isn't for him. In theory he'd be a counter to Adams and Kanter but it hasn't materialized.

[313]

Kawhi, stop playing like Matt Barnes is in there.
:lmao

[dabom]

We down 40 without Kawhi. Low IQ posters. :lol

[100%duncan]

Kawhi needs to be more decisive. If you cant, then just fucking dump the ball to lma.

[808]

This. No minutes restrictions, four days off after this.

Damn that many?!

[DAF86]

Kawhi/LMA need to play the entire 4th.

Nah, give them a breather at the start of the 4th. If we see that shit starts going downside put them right back in.

[024]

Spurs got to spring out and get a sizeable lead at the start of the fourth if they want to win this game. Thunder bench is pretty bad. Force Donovan to put Durant and Westbrook in for the entire fourth and maybe they'll get tired.

[mclinejr]

:lmao We took yalls best punch to try and come back

Spurs playing horrible and OKC only up by 1. :lol

[rasuo214]

Kawhi has only played 26 minutes so Pop could keep him out there all 4th as well.

[Mal]

Damn that many?!

Game 3 is friday

[100%duncan]

I don't understand Pop's defensive gameplan tonight at all. I remember when he used to switch AJ onto Dirk, but that was to keep Nash out of the lane. What the fuck is the point of having Kawhi switched onto Cameron Payne to stick your midget PG on Durant? And why is Billy Donovan not running a Durant/Payne screen every single possession?

Pop is so fucking stupid. It's like the fucker is preparing for steph curry

[Mugen]

ALL ABOUT STOPS.

[DPG21920]

leonard thought twice about shooting/passing on that last one

still, overall amazing run to end the quarter. we need to sustain it when westbrook checks back in, though

Great call. Both times OKC got a lead, Billy gave WB a breather and SA went on their run. It's smart from Billy and I'm surprised he did it, but OKC sucks without WB this game and he will play the entire 4th when he's back in. So SA has to come up with better defense on him.

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi/LMA need to play the entire 4th.

[Trainwreck2100]

worst display of fry tossing i've ever seen, they should be ashamed of themselves

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Right now, Spurs can't stop Westbrook and Thunder can't stop LMA. Just have to hope Westbrook starts missing and LMA continues scoring.

[Ron Swanson]

This. No minutes restrictions, four days off after this.

Exactly. Go full Thibs on them, Pop.

[hater]

Damn we need to be up 10 before Westchkmp comes in for that ass

[kaji157]

Leonard is not a go to offensive player that can create on the last possession. I'm not sure if that is the right way to use Kawhi in a last possession type of situation. What do you guys think?

Leonard is not a go to offensive player.

[Gagnrath]

Not a good possession by Leonard.... He doesn't quite have the handles to take on a whole defense yet.... Get the set defense off balance by ball movement spurs team.

[GSH]

Win the quarter, win the game. It's not going to all be easy especially when you play a team with 2 great players. Execute. No need to be a hero, just do your damn job and do it well. Go on a run and throw a haymaker to see how this team responds.


The Spurs have 2 great players too. Kawhi needs to remember that, and I hope Aldridge has enough gas left. He's got more minutes than anyone in this game.

[Horse]

It's time fuckers!

[steeledl]

I don't understand Pop's defensive gameplan tonight at all. I remember when he used to switch AJ onto Dirk, but that was to keep Nash out of the lane. What the fuck is the point of having Kawhi switched onto Cameron Payne to stick your midget PG on Durant? And why is Billy Donovan not running a Durant/Payne screen every single possession?


Damn I've been watching the Spurs since the mid 90's when I was a kid...... And for the life out of me I can't recall an AJ besides Avery Johnson.... You're gonna have to help me out here. Did Avery play against dirk and Nash ?

[ElNono]

stops, stops, stops,

[-21-]

Wow, LMA has played 33 minutes already?!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ugh, West. I can see you're trying but JFC.

[sasaint]

Leonard is not a go to offensive player that can create on the last possession. I'm not sure if that is the right way to use Kawhi in a last possession type of situation. What do you guys think?

Not yet.

[100%duncan]

Wasted first possession fuck.

[spursistan]

West has been underwhelming in the playoffs

[capek]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't want Duncan on the floor again tonight.

Ya, it's been a rather disappointing outing for him. :depressed

[Beaverfuzz]

Can't leave the open shots...Westbrick is coming in.

[100%duncan]

I think we try a Diaw postup?

[Capt Bringdown]

Questionable lineup

[baseline bum]

So much overpassing

[Beaverfuzz]

TURNOBLI!

[loveforthegame]

:td

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking hell, what a hideous turnover by Manu.

[100%duncan]

Beautiful Game 0.1

[Ron Swanson]

Ok, West needs to come out.

[loveforthegame]

West our #1 option. Awesome.

[RD2191]

Wtf

[313]

Fatass/West combo to start the fourth :lmao

[GSH]

Well West just can't get a shot up against Kanter.

[Holden_Caulfield]

get west out

[horsielove]

Man, i would love to hate Adams on the team. He is a beast.

[baseline bum]

Switch West onto Durant? What the fuck is this lineup?

[ElNono]

West is unplayable, tbh

[Mugen]

Just wtf pop. WTF.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

West just can't be getting fourth quarter minutes, he's pitiful on both ends of the floor.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just keep it close until Kawhi and Aldridge are back. Please.

[SPURt]

No Kawhi or LMA looks like ass

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible lineup

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit, Pop. Don't throw this fucking series with these retarded lineups.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi is just off today. We need to be on top before Westbrook comes back, that will mess them up

He missed both his FTs so his shot is definitely off, he need to drive to the rack.

[SpurPadre]

get west the fuck out of there, pop

[Robz4000]

God damnit Pop

[daslicer]

Spurs keep starting these quarters terribly.

[100%duncan]

Yeah put LMA and Kawhi back in. Fuck this lineup. Diaw isn't even getting looks.

[Budkin]

Fucking hell, what a hideous turnover by Manu.

FUUUUUUU

[Texas_Ranger]

pop go fuck yourself

[testies]

Poopvich throwing the game away

[DPG21920]

This bench unit has sucked. If Boris isn't going to look to shoot & West can't score, scrap it Pop. then you have terrible defensive line ups too. What is Pop doing.

[loveforthegame]

Wonder how long Pop rests Leonard this quarter.

[-21-]

Ugh get West out... would rather have Boban.

[noles1983]

west, gtfo

[313]

So much overpassing
Awful spacing too. Looks like they're just running around

[resistanze]

Please get West outta there

[SouthernFried]

There is no offense on the court

[Fireball]

the beautiful turnover

[bklynspursfan]

Why is pop pulling Manu
We have no offense out there smh

[100%duncan]

Oh good. Kyle Anderson for Manu. Just fuck you Pop.

[Mugen]

Now you take Manu out, wtf

[BillMc]

West has been a disaster tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

Millionth missed layups

[mexicanjunior]

This lineup to start the 4th is just awful. Pop is losing this game right here...

[Ice009]

This lineup to start the 4th is insane. It could cost us the game. WTF POP. I am fucking better than you. Your rotations fucking suck.

[Capt Bringdown]

I guess Pop's gonna wait until we're down 10+ before he changes his mind

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs! Now or NEVER!

[capek]

WTF is neither Leonard or LMA doing out there??? God damn it, they have 3 days off after this!

[Beaverfuzz]

Wow West...that was so good and bad in the span of three seconds.

[100%duncan]

pop losing the game :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

This lineup is fucking disgusting. This is the playoffs man

[Horry Hipcheck]

WEST GOD DAMN IT YOU ARE TOO FUCKING SMALL JUST SET UP A NEW PLAY

[loveforthegame]

West killing us. Holy crap.

[baseline bum]

Great work Pop, you have really fucked this game up good tonight.

[Ron Swanson]

We're not winning the game with this bullshit.

[Holden_Caulfield]

what a horrible line up :lol

[Mugen]

Pop just absolutely cost the Spurs a game and possibly the series. Wow. Just wow.

[RD2191]

:lmao faggots

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The good ole no great player line-up that lost game 6 in 2013, I love it.

[hitmanyr2k]

This game has gotten ugly but OKC just wants it more. They look like the faster team out there.

[DAF86]

Kawhi for Anserson and LA for West now.

[Trainwreck2100]

ginoboli going full chernobly

[Darius Bieber]

It's over.

[dabom]

No Kawhi no Boban we lose the lead.

[ducks]

Put Leonard in

[Ice009]

Now he's bringing in Kyle. This fucker has lost the plot. Miami game 6 type of 4th quarter lineup.

[ElNono]

Boris West and rebounding...

[daslicer]

If the Spurs lose this game its due to them not playing with a sense of urgency outside of LMA.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

6-0 run. What a shitty line-up

[313]

Kanter's game one was an aberration, he has at least 4 offensive rebound tonight by my count

[Budkin]

6-0 run Thunder. Game

[Nathan89]

If Pop does put Kawhi and LMA back in after this timeout then it's over.

[-21-]

WTF POP ARE YOU TRYING TO LOSE?

[resistanze]

Pop with his idiotic lineups again :lol

[noles1983]

fuck this stupid shit

[capek]

FUUUUUUCK!

[sasaint]

He missed both his FTs so his shot is definitely off, he need to drive to the rack.

Has he even attempted a three tonight?

[Clipper Nation]

Pop Rivers with the shit rotations :lol

[lefty]

:lmao det lineup

[cjw]

Enough of that lineup. West shouldn't be on the floor anymore this series unless he's going to lay Durant out on a drive to hoop.

[BillMc]

Rebounds killing us.

[DarrinS]

Uh, Pop? Wtf?

[Mugen]

With how poorly he coached last playoffs, I didn't think he could outdo himself. But here we are, what an absolute abomination by Pop tonight.

[Arcadian]

Need more size out there. One of Duncan/Aldridge/Boban should be in at all times.

[Kawhitstorm]

Turd Towers against Kanter/Adams:lmao

[Splits]

West/Diaw/Fivehead lineup of death....

[hater]

ginoboli going full chernobly

:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Extending the lead with Westbrook on the bench due to this pathetic joke of a lineup out there

[spursistan]

keep resting you fucker.we have 4 days off :lmao

[james evans]

so we're down in the 4th and he has , west, ginobli, mills, and closing out the game. what the fuk???

[Ice009]

THIS GUY IS A FUCKING IDIOT OF A COACH.

[Nathan89]

Pops counter to shitty Gino play is KA:lol

[testies]

Pop threw the series with this 4th quarter begining

gj

[ffadicted]

Disgusting lineups
DWest is horrible my god

[SouthernFried]

Don't we have a couple of good scorers? I remember seeing them...

[$pursDynasty]

This is the playoffs no need to have no starters in the game.

[timtonymanu]

With how poorly he coached last playoffs, I didn't think he could outdo himself. But here we are, what an absolute abomination by Pop tonight.

Pop's been content since 5.

[steeledl]

Get these fucking scrubs out. I have no intention of going to OKC needing to win 1. Parker,Kawhi , LMA need to be on the court ..... Duncan and Anderson need to be off. Figure it out from there.

[Holden_Caulfield]

whats up with pop trying to be cute :downspin:

[diceman]

Both Pop and Donovan are idiots for not playing their studs. 3 damn day break til game 3..........No excuses for Pop's rotations!

[noles1983]

westbrook sitting and pop sends out the dumbest fucking lineup imaginable. get ejected form the game pop, dumb fuck

[100%duncan]

Pop has lost it after 2014. Sad decline tbh.

[ElNono]

don't get why Pop keeps treating his young guns like they're 36 years old... Kawhi and LMA can play way more mins...

[myhc]

Just can't get over the hump.

[TE]

I don't criticize Pop much but what the actual fuck?

[lefty]

Pop Rivers with the shit rotations :lol

:lmao

[Leetonidas]

Pop is a complete fucking idiot sometimes
wtf is this shit. you're gonna be pissy and call a timeout when you out 6’9 dudes out there and wonder why they can't get a board

[baseline bum]

Managed to turn a one point deficit into seven with Westbrook on the bench, brilliant Pop.

[bklynspursfan]

Idk if we have another run in us at this point. We've done it 2x and it takes so much effort. Guys have just been terrible outside of our 2 studs

[Perry Mason]

I really have no idea what Pop is doing. Strange lineup for the PO's. West is too small. Put in Boban.

[capek]

It's over.

Ya, the lineup was annoying, but GTFO with this emo shit.

[Ice009]

I WILL ALWAYS, ALWAYS QUESTION POP.

I can never call him the best or top 3 of all time when I feel like he's made coaching decisions I'd never make.

[Ditty]

Thanks Pop!

[313]

Don't worry guys, CIA Pop

[BillMc]

Gotta admit some weird lineups. LMA or Kawhi need to be on the floor at all times.

[SouthernFried]

Gonna take a herculean effort to win this one now...

[kaji157]

What a shifty game by Leonard and pop.

[hater]

Lmao Pop trolling life

[loveforthegame]

Pop shot this team in the foot from the start. Changed the offensive game plan for no reason and it set the wrong tone. Strange defensive game plan, goofier rotations. Resting the big guns.

:td

[spurtech09]

um whats the deal with this line-up...not going to cut it....

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Crater face is fucking drunk WTF kinda line up is that

[midnightpulp]

Fucking faggots. This team is beyond frustrating. And Poop is once again out-thinking himself with his dumbass lineups.

"Muh rest."

This game should've been treating like a game 7. 45 minutes from LMA and Kawhi tonight.

[Mugen]

You treat your 24yo and 30yo superstarts like fucking 20 year veterans.

[KuntryDude]

Way to go Pop. You managed to fuck up in the clutch once again Sir

[$pursDynasty]

keep resting you fucker.we have 4 days off :lmao
This!

[100%duncan]

Kawhi and LMA has played many mins and we only have 4 days off after this. Must be why.

[313]

Idk if we have another run in us at this point. We've done it 2x and it takes so much effort. Guys have just been terrible outside of our 2 studs
Kawhi has 12 points on 14 shots

[Budkin]

Fuck. You. Pop.

[Ice009]

Obvious dumb, dumb coaching mistakes this fucker makes.

[Beaverfuzz]

Ugh, all of that effort and wad shot three minutes into the fourth quarter.

Wow

[Escawun3]

wtf this line up and wtf always this same karaoke

[100%duncan]

We lost :lol

[Robz4000]

Game

[mexicanjunior]

It's over...

[Horry Hipcheck]

OKC building on the lead with Westbrook on the bench. Jesus.

[Mugen]

Kawhi shit the bed tonight, no doubt about it.

[RD2191]

Season over.

[Holden_Caulfield]

kawhi not being the superstar that he is. this is frustrating

[spurtech09]

Do Spurs really want to win this game....

[Horry Hipcheck]

And now Westbrook is back to finish the killing. Kawhi can't make shots.

[noles1983]

way to go spurs, now we get to seethe in anger for 3 days

[Budkin]

Can we actually win a game in OKC?

[100%duncan]

:lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

Perhaps a pivotal blunder in this series. Terrible coaching, it must be said.

[GSH]

Our second star has looked like shit tonight. That's always gonna be a problem

[Beaverfuzz]

Nobody there to rebound.

[BatManu20]

They can't miss, we can't hit. Bad combo.

[Ice009]

I cannot fucking believe this decision by Pop.

If he doesn't want to coach anymore. Let the fucker go. He can drink wine and relax all year coaching team USA.

Fucking joke.

[Holden_Caulfield]

horrible shot selections :lol

[spurtech09]

Thunder got this.....

[myhc]

LOL. We're hanging by a thread.

[RD2191]

Lmao mills

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking ISO plays. Why. Why is that what we're doing in a playoff game.

[loveforthegame]

What is this offense. You shoot, now you, your next.

[100%duncan]

Jumpshots jumpshots jumpshots :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

2nd round exit team doing what a 2nd round exit team needs to do.

[Beaverfuzz]

Yeah, ball went over the backboard, that's not out of bounds?

[RD2191]

Have the Spurs scored in the 4th?

[Budkin]

We are literally being shut out.

[resistanze]

Go to LMA maybe? wow

[100%duncan]

Rebounding :lmao

[cd98]

Defense. Rebounding.

[mexicanjunior]

No way we win in OKC. Good luck against the Warriors OKC, you will need it.

[808]

[100%duncan]

Thank you Danny.

[dabom]

Jiiiizzz

[james evans]

oh shit. Green's shooting good. Time for popovich to take him out and put either ginobli or anderson in.

[Spurtacular]

That lineup Pop brought out to start the fourth was sh**.

[SpursforSix]

Can't finish at the rim.

[-21-]

Wonder if Pop takes Danny out now to get him some rest.

[Fireball]
