Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC -- Game 3 - Fri (5/6) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga)

[SPURt]

When Payne is on the floor good things happen... for the other team

[TheGreatYacht]

Great first quarter boys!

Now bring back Danny for Kawhi, don't play thou who shall not be named

[hater]

:lmao Leonard a fade away vs Cameron "westbrook chewtoy" Payne :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[daslicer]

Kawhi should have posted up Payne under the baseline area.

[313]

Pop switching that 1-3 PnR where Patty ends up on KD:downspin:
Stubborn fuck is going to roll with it for better or worse

[NASpurs]

Good so far. Only thing that has me nervous is Westbrook having a quiet game.

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead 27-20 after the 1st.

[sexinthatsx]

There was a play where David West was on the post and Manu was wide open, flung his arms up and looked incredulous lol

[tholdren]

:lmao that Payne nigga is soooooooo bad..so bad..

OKC's shot selection is atrocious..virtually every play they attempted with their bench unit was horrible..
playground ball... put in collision

[sasaint]

was that Manu's first dunk all season?

I think I remember one other, but I couldn't pinpoint the game.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi needs to be more aggressive down low when he has Payne's scrub ass on him.

[TheDoctor]

Pop switching that 1-3 PnR where Patty ends up on KD:downspin:
For some reason, KD struggles against midgets.

[rastaspur]

Patty's defense on Durant is funny but effective. Just crowds the ship out of him. It's like a short ugly girl at a club trying to come get all up on you and grind on you on the dance floor. It makes Durant very uncomfortable

[HarlemHeat37]

They only attempted 1 post play with Kanter and he stupidly passed it out:lol..not sure why they have him camping out at the 3-point line..

[hater]

:lmao Leonard a fade away vs Cameron "westbrook chewtoy" Payne :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

:lmao :lol

[Keepin' it real]

Kawhi needs to be more aggressive down low when he has Payne's scrub ass on him.

[Cry Havoc]

Great fucking first quarter.

Things that need work:

DONT GET BEAT OFF THE DRIBBLE.

Help faster in the paint, make them pass it out to the wings to their bad shooters.

Box the fuck out of Adams, sweep the leg if you need to. What a sissy fucking player.

Shoot open looks.

Don't let Danny dribble. :lol

[Spurs_619]

Kawhi should have posted up Payne under the baseline area.

He wanted to go for the 2 for 1 but was a bad decision not enough time.

[Mugen]

All about the defense tbh. The Spurs have gotten every single shot they wanted this series. But the defensive lapses, turnovers, and missed open looks are the reason this series is 1-1.

[DarrinS]

:lmao Leonard a fade away vs Cameron "westbrook chewtoy" Payne :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Faggot post

[siraulo23]

Great quarter from kawhi

Not a bad quarter from the spurs overall. Gotta keep it up

[Capster]

Well that lead was fun while it lasted. Our defense has been shit since the start of game 2
Huh? I call being up 7 points is a lead. Go play in traffic!

[tholdren]

There was a play where David West was on the post and Manu was wide open, flung his arms up and looked incredulous lol
yes, the dwest bullied durant in to 3 feet then flailed up a fading shit shot causing me to fling my arms up. what a loser

[.G.]

Dancing puppet payne is absolute trash

[hater]

:lmao Leonard a fade away vs Cameron "westbrook chewtoy" Payne :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

:lmao :lol :lmao :lol

what they fuck is this nigga doing :lol

[Keepin' it real]

For some reason, KD struggles against midgets.

So maybe KD would be a good belated replacement for Tiago.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi pulled a fat head and bailed out a small out in the post... Good quarter for him though:tu

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi and LMA doing good. Let's keep up the defense. Go Spurs Go!

[BillMc]

More of the same in q2 please.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard looks much better than last game but has some improvement still.

[.G.]

And, yes, Kawhi needs to impose his will on Payne.

Live. Learn. Apply.

[Capster]

WOW! Pop looking spiffy!

[$pursDynasty]

Hope Pop has learned something the OKC coach already knows. There should not be one minute that neither LMA or Kingslayer is on the floor

[hater]

Cameron westbrook chewtoy Payne is our MVP so far

:lol damn love that little ladyboy

[Silver&Black]

Turnobili, tbh

[loveforthegame]

Manu. Come on.

[NASpurs]

Wtf was that

[spurtech09]

Whats the deal with Manu?

[Spurs_619]

Get him off the floor fuck...

[TheDoctor]

lol Manu

[SPURt]

Did Westbrook mock the ref?

[Cry Havoc]

god dammit manu

[Silver&Black]

Excellent D by LDN on Durant

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop not playing any games tonight..Aldridge back in immediately and no Kyle Anderson..maybe he learned from the 4th quarter of game 2..

[tholdren]

great shit tony west

[NASpurs]

West :lol

[loveforthegame]

West is awful.

[spurtech09]

Need someone that can handle the ball.

[SupremeGuy]

That was Spurs ball!

[Silver&Black]

:lmao #SeamanWest

[HarlemHeat37]

David West hasn't been able to create for himself in at least 2 seasons:lol..did they not get the memo?

[hater]

Spurs D is getting Better :tu

[Kawhitstorm]

Why is West trying to post up Kanter instead of playing PnP?:downspin:

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[SupremeGuy]

LMA taking a wet shit on these faggots!

[SpursFan86]

I was really impressed by West during the regular season, but he's been awful so far in the playoffs :td

[Capster]

Blowout incoming. Spurs by 20. Book it. Thunder = fucked.
NICE!

[TheDoctor]

Danny dribbling alert

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVPatty

[Ron Swanson]

Gday mate!

[hater]

:wow Crappy Shits!!!!

[SupremeGuy]

PATTY THRILLS!

[Neurosis]

Verde's handles are so cringey to watch, but fuck his D on Durant is as good as Leonard.

[spurtech09]

Spurs making tough shots.....Ball movement is not that good.

[01Snake]

G-day mate

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVPatty

X2

[SPURt]

Mills makes love to the road!

[NASpurs]

MVPatty

[hater]

:wow Crappy Shits!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally Patty Mills realized it's the playoffs..

[SupremeGuy]

Westchimp throwing that chicken wing! Easy call.

[td4mvp2k]

[TheGreatYacht]

LETS FUCKING GO

[Spurs_619]

Westbrooks game is uglier to watch then hardens tbh...

[testies]

POST UP ALDRIDGE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

SPREAD THE FLOOR AND GIVE HIM AN ENTRY PASS

[Slime Baller]

CAPTAIN W3ST.

[spurtech09]

lol ball movement looks awful but yet spurs are making tough shot....I will take it but Spurs need better ball movement.

[spursistan]

Green has to be seriously a top 5 all-time Transition D guy..

[RD2191]

Fluke shots by Mills imo

[01Snake]

Sloppy play this quarter but increasing the lead anyhow.

[james evans]

ok, we're up 15, i hope Popovich doesn't start his experimenting shit with linueps like west/mills/diaw/anderson/green

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

6-8 from downtown :bobo

[look_at_g_shred]

Let's Goooooo!

[sasaint]

Danny dribbling alert

Doing a better job of it than Manu, tbh. :wow

[myhc]

Now we're fucking playing D.

[testies]

POST UP ALDRIDGE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

SPREAD THE FLOOR AND GIVE HIM AN ENTRY PASS..

[SAGirl]

D West shooting 3s :flag:

[keeferob25]

Game is still far from over but our depth was always gonna be our advantage!

[TDfan2007]

Welcome back patty

[TheGreatYacht]

Great minutes from our point guards so far :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Pretty close to how game 1 went. Limiting what KD and Russ can do and watching the team fold around them.

[ducks]

Bench manu now!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

This game is an example of what some of us have been saying..if the Spurs lose this series to this trash OKC team, it's an indictment on the Spurs more than anything, it means they beat themselves:lol..this OKC team is one of the most flawed "elite" teams I've ever seen..

[look_at_g_shred]

ok, we're up 15, i hope Popovich doesn't start his experimenting shit with linueps like west/mills/diaw/anderson/green

[spurtech09]

Get Manu out of there.....He keeps turning the ball over.

[Keepin' it real]

David West is not a good for the Spurs second unit ...

:downspin:

[td4mvp2k]

Porker keep your ass out

[testies]

POST UP ALDRIDGE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

SPREAD THE FLOOR AND GIVE HIM AN ENTRY PASS!!!!!!!!

[BillMc]

Danny is the best I've seen in a long time when the other team has numbers on a break.

[MI21]

It's been evident for a while, but Danny Green is the best transition defender I have seen in my lifetime.
Chinook

[NASpurs]

Let's see what shitty lineup Poop goes to after the timeout

[TDomination]

The entire time manu had the ball, I was yelling GIVE THE BALL TO LAMARCUS

[Nathan89]

Refs just wanted to make their impact on the game there.

[SpurPadre]

too bad we're getting Turnobili instead of Ginobili tonight.

[timtonymanu]

This game is an example of what some of us have been saying..if the Spurs lose this series to this trash OKC team, it's an indictment on the Spurs more than anything, it means they beat themselves:lol..this OKC team is one of the most flawed "elite" teams I've ever seen..


This.

[TDfan2007]

Would be nice if we posted Aldridge, tbh

[hater]

damn Manu was trying to fuck us up. But Green and West came throught :tu

[TheGreatYacht]

No Fat head = Great bench play

Did I call it or did I call it?

[Keepin' it real]

Get Manu out of there.....He keeps turning the ball over.

Someone on the board said this series was going to be like Spurs-Heat.

[soxxx]

Spurs have to stop one big run from the Thunder before the half, you know the Thunder are gunna push it here, have to shut it down.

[bklynspursfan]

15 point lead with LMA not going nuts. Not bad... have to keep it up. U know they'll make a run. This might be the time with a little lead to start going to LMA a little..

I smile everyone Roberson and Waiters miss easy shots

[GSH]

Game is still far from over but our depth was always gonna be our advantage!

Well it sure wasn't the slow-ass starting lineup.

[hater]

win or lose. at least we're not Hawks fans tbh :lol

[SAGirl]

Green has to be seriously a top 5 all-time Transition D guy..
Yes they were a bit out of control at times but other guys got it going and that's great. We have hit what you would call some fluky 3s but I'll take them.

[SupremeGuy]

This game is an example of what some of us have been saying..if the Spurs lose this series to this trash OKC team, it's an indictment on the Spurs more than anything, it means they beat themselves:lol..this OKC team is one of the most flawed "elite" teams I've ever seen..Fuck that. I agree that we're better but when a team has two of the top 5 wing players and bigs that can hit jumpers or get dirty points... it's always going to be hard.

[siraulo23]

Damn the spurs extending the lead, back to back tough 3s

defense getting better

[Kawhitstorm]

Finally Patty Mills realized it's the playoffs..

728771400085835776

[bklynspursfan]

Manu had a couple sloppy possessions but he's been ok other than that. Especially defensively

[HarlemHeat37]

I can't wait until Cameron-Payne re-enters later in the game, tbh:lol

[GSH]

Spurs have to stop one big run from the Thunder before the half, you know the Thunder are gunna push it here, have to shut it down.

Stops and rebounds. Someone is going to have to dig in.

[.G.]

Danny looks fucking focused out there.

In general, it seems Spurs are treating possessions like gold. Have to hope they can maintain that focus throughout.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Pretty close to how game 1 went. Limiting what KD and Russ can do and watching the team fold around them.
I guess when the hero ball strategy doesn't work out, OKC just crumbles

[hater]

fuck you Kanter

[Kawhitstorm]

Why in the FUCK are they trying to POST up Kanter instead of making him defend in SPACE?:bang

[spurtech09]

LMA fouled?

[SpursFan86]

Kanter isn't a bad isolation/post-up defender...put him in a fucking PnR :pctoss

[GSH]

A "nice defensive play" from Kanter? Hacking Diaw's shooting arm?

[Silver&Black]

Thunderef sighting

[TDfan2007]

Losing focus

[TheGreatYacht]

Remember when Diaw wasn't fat in the playoffs?

[james evans]

so they just gon let kanter do what he wants with the fouling huh?

[hater]

I don't agree that was a foul by Kanter tbh

he's playing his balls off

[Horse]

Back to back fucking fouls we all know kanter does not play D.

[SpurPadre]

since when was Kanter=Prime Ben Wallace?

[TheDoctor]

Damn Kanter crushed LMa's pinky hard in there.

[Ron Swanson]

Mobilehoma

[NASpurs]

Penis Kancer playing defense? I've seen it all.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The thunder refs strike again. Kanter is hacking at arms

[keeferob25]

Diaw is almost making us forget how bad duncan's been smh

[TDomination]

Defensive monster Kanter lol

[MI21]

I don't know about the other ones but god damn that last strip of LMA was a foul :lol

Good timeout by Pop...

[TheGreatYacht]

Kanter getting away with fouls in the post like he's Draymond Green

:pctoss:

[Keepin' it real]

Good sign the okc scrubs aren't making bull shit shots.

[SPURt]

I think it'd be weird to see Kawhi replace Wade in that Iceman commercial

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol players like Kanter, Bargnani, etc aren't exploitable in the post, their weakness is team defense and space..not sure why they're posting up Diaw when he has a serious physical disadvantage..

Need to keep going to Aldridge, tbh..he still needs to be the offensive focus..

[TDfan2007]

That last play was clean. Too much dribbling by our guys on the block tonight

[hater]

defensive strategy is working great but not taking advantage at O.

still I'll take it so far

[spursistan]

if this godawful Diaw show us next round, Warriors sweep, tbh

[GSH]

Defensive monster Kanter lol


I just rewound to be sure I wasn't dreaming. Fucking Kanter just hacked the shit out of Diaw at the elbow while he was shooting. Great defense.

[TheDoctor]

Durant has played all game. Damn.

[spurtech09]

To much one on one.

[MI21]

That last play was clean. Too much dribbling by our guys on the block tonight

No way. He was all over his arm.

That said, I agree with your sentiment. Any danger of a drop step or pump fake guys.

[hater]

Ennes Chamberlain Kanter IMO

[313]

Kawhi doesn't have it

[tholdren]

kl sucks ass

[NASpurs]

Bobo is playing his way out of next year's team.

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Silver&Black]

LMA = Too good

[resistanze]

Man Diaw is useless, bring Timmy back in.

[rastaspur]

Nice shot lma

[hater]

Kawhi shitting the bed IMO

[TheDoctor]

Sloppy

[SpurPadre]

Durant owning Leonard on D.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dominos has 2 fouls :tu

[spurtech09]

Boris Diaw needs to do something.....Wonder if he is still hurt?

[TDfan2007]

LMA is amazing

[hater]

Diaw you fat fucking piece of pig shit

[SPURt]

It's amazing the Spurs that has someone that mastered the dream shake and some that mastered MJ's fadeaway on the same team

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta make that shot Parker.

[spurtech09]

Lma needs help.

[GSH]

Clutch fucking shooting there

[Ron Swanson]

Westchuck

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta make that shot as well Parker.

Kawhi shitting the bed IMO

[NASpurs]

LDN

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: LDN

The D and the 3...

My nigga.

[Ron Swanson]

Donovan should rip WB's ass for not getting back on D, but he's too much of a punk bitch.

[james evans]

loooks like green has found his shot, but why the fuck can't we stop ibaka?

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice draw of the foul Kiwi


MAKE YOUR FT'S!

[spurtech09]

Shabaka making fluke 3's.

[GSH]

Don't guard Ibaka - no way he can make a 3

[TheDoctor]

Danny what a defeaive beast

[Slime Baller]

Green, please keep this up. Please.

[Kyl3]

Ibaka hates the Spurs

[TDfan2007]

Ibaka is just unreal against us lol. He's hitting tough shots

[tholdren]

when kl is the number 1 option, he sucks

[testies]

kawhi is not a playoff scorer

[SupremeGuy]

VERDE!

[GSH]

The whole team has alligator arms

[313]

Fuck is going on with Kawhi's free throws?

[01Snake]

Fucking Freethrows!!!

[SpurPadre]

what is it with Ibaka not missing shots in game 3's?

[$pursDynasty]

What's up with the fts

[james evans]

why the fuck are we missing so many freethrows in this game?

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi splitting FTs over under 1.5?

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi and FTs this series...

[loveforthegame]

FFS what happened to Leonards ft shooting. :td

[lefty]

Porker is shit

[SupremeGuy]

The fuck happened to Kawhi's FTs? :cry

[spurtech09]

spurs missing fts

[Silver&Black]

Would slap the shit outta that faggot with blue hair if he said one cross word to me, tbh.

[resistanze]

smh Kawhi...

[daslicer]

Ibaka has this weird confidence against the Spurs in which he lacks when he plays against other teams. That is why he hits these fluke 3's.

[itzsoweezee]

I'm really impressed with Parker's passing this series.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice strip of Durant. Totally clean Verde!

[GSH]

Fucking Roberson imposing his will

[313]

Got damn DANNY GREEN <3

[SupremeGuy]

SERIOUSLY PARKER IS SHIT! Get him the fuck out already.

[spursistan]

Parker is killing us...meanwhile LDN is fuckin beasting..

[hater]

DANNY MOTHERFUCKING GREEENN!!!!!

[NASpurs]

LDN again

[HarlemHeat37]

Danny Green is having a :wow defensive game, tbh..

[spursparker9]

Green DPOY

[james evans]

what the fuck is durant complaining about? he got stripped

[Beaverfuzz]

I'm really impressed with Parker's passing this series.

This. :lol

[tholdren]

kl missing then walking back like the bitch he is

[hater]

we'd be down by 20 if not for Green


WOW MVP

[spurtech09]

LMA got fouled again.....LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Neurosis]

What does LMA have to do to get a call? Damn.

[lefty]

Porker'S passing :lmao

[itzsoweezee]

I'm really impressed with Parker's passing this series.

Nevermind. What a shitty entry pass.

[01Snake]

Looking like dogshit! Lucky KD & Westchimp aren't hitting.

[TheGreatYacht]

Terrible fucking offense. Go to the P&R with Aldridge you dipshits
