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

[palangi]

Kawhi missed freebies imminent...
Ha ha dumb ass!

[SPURt]

Thank God the Spurs didn't waste a great night from TP!

[SpurPadre]

i hate Timmy inbounds. Why do you love taking years off my life, Pop?!

[Beaverfuzz]

Don't foul anyone period. Hand in the face, don't leave the ground.

[random21]

Made them when it mattered....

[daslicer]

Leave them wide open don't touch them.

[.G.]

Yeah, shit wasn't negated by free throws :lol

[siraulo23]

Hell yea finally making some FTs

[rastaspur]

Big win. Good 4th quarter for parker.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi shitting on Buck Harvey per par

[KaiRMD1]

Did Chimp really try to draw a foul? LMAO!

[Gametight]

What a game....don't foul on the 3 :flag:

[313]

Good game

PARTY PEOPLE!!!!!

[Spurs9]

Lol thought they would call that contact knowing refs

[J_Paco]

Spurs need to get it together by the next round. OKC is a two man team. This should be a 4-1 series.

Those two players are two of the 5 best players in the NBA. Plus, they have a huge advantage inside with Adams, Ibaka and Kanter.

[Ron Swanson]

Westbrook flop :lol

[james evans]

That was a dumb jump by west. very stupid

[resistanze]

Kawhi came through in the clutch

[td4mvp2k]

Westbrick fuk u!

[MVPCues]

Ugly moments but a very competitive game. Glad to grab home court advantage back.

[marinoman]

Where was this in game 6 v heat?
I'll take it though

[Horry Hipcheck]

Huge response win for the Spurs. I had my doubts.

[Kawhitstorm]

Forgive us Enrique:worthy:

[Beaverfuzz]

Aldridge
Leonard
Parker

Co-MVP's of the game.

[mclinejr]

Westbrook ��������

[turb0time]

GO FUCKING SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi definitely fought through it and redeemed himself. This is what a true star does.

[TDomination]

Yeah Spurs!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Game ball goes to Tony

[Mal]

:lobt2:

[Capster]

BEAUTIFUL! All you haters eat shit!

[r0drig0lac]

WIN ....amem

[baseline bum]

Why did the Spurs even contest that three? That could have easily been a foul call and he hits that and it's fucking OT. If I was Pop I would have just put all five players right in front of the Spurs bench. The fuck are they doing out there where they can get called for a foul?

[rastaspur]

Westbrook makes Dolph Lundgren look like an Oscars winner. Trying to sell that foul was hilarious

[Horse]

Okc went up 4 and all you pussies threw in the towel when they always turn it over down the stretch. Please kill yourself.

[r0drig0lac]

Forgive up Enrique:worthy:

You`ve gotta make sure that time run, everything can happen when Spurs would have to inbound a ball again.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dare I say legendary performance by Parker?

[PopTheGOAT]

Good team win. Thunder played well tbh. Fought through adversity in a hostile environment
Good showing from Parker and Kawhi

I cringed when Westbrook launched that 3 and kicked his legs into West to draw a foul.

[beirmeistr]

kudos to tp, came up clutch in the 4th

[Silver&Black]

HUGE FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lead 2-1....got Home court back.

We need a Tony Parker symbol or something.

[Mugen]

Not sure how they won the game, but wow. Props to that Spurs D.

[99 Problems]

Yeah............

[james evans]

that officiating was horrible in the 2nd half. They gave them 3 quick fouls late in the 4th to put them int the bonus. Van gundy looks sad that OKC lost.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Porker saved the day

[TDomination]

HUGE WIN!!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

wtf are you talking about? He traveled before the shot


Wrong.

[Cessation]

Nice win by the Sperms, it was fun watching them compete all out.

Just when I start to doubt this team... YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!

[KDKSpurs24]

Parker stepped up BIG for this one!:toast

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck Derek Fisher

[Capt Bringdown]

Exhausting game. I needs me some Kratom.

[BillMc]

A game that may unite the Parker and Leonard crews in blissful victory!:lol

[K...]

As predicted, Kawhi took a big wet shit on cat Krew :lol

do you understand how the cat crew works? Parker had a huge game, clutch FT. Kawhi has a good game, clutch FT. IT's literally a tie between troll factions. You always seems to be a day late and a dollar short.

[Mugen]

Get Game 4.

That would be the dumbest play of the year. Thunder score quickly and the Spurs have five seconds to inbound the ball. Spurs can't get the ball inbounded and the Thunder have the ball underneath their basket with a chance to tie or win. Not smart at all.

[itzsoweezee]

Shouldn't have been that close. Got to make free throws.

Westbrick - 31 points on 31 shots
Durant - 26 points on 18 shots

No way Durant doesn't bolt from this mess

[SupremeGuy]

Clutch FTs... :flag:

[wildbill2u]

Parker still part of the Big 3--just a NEW Big 3. We can't win without his scoring and playing well. There is no one else to be the 3rd scorer.

[unleashbaynes]

I just like how both Leonard and Parker had huge nuts and there's nothing for either fanbase to argue about :lol

[weeks]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!

[BillMc]

Not sure how they won the game, but wow. Props to that Spurs D.

Good defense, idiotic plays by OKC at the end. Usual formula for beating them, tbh.

[GSH]

When Kawhi forced his way in for that dunk, the game changed. Up till then, the Spurs were up but it felt like they were losing.

Didn't the Spurs have a timeout? Worst case scenario they shoot a 70 footer to win if they steal the inbounds.

[SpursIndonesia]

We need a Tony Parker symbol or something.

This is a blasphemy after a fabulous night by TP, but what the heck ...... :oink

[Kawhitstorm]

What fucking shoes are Kawhi wearing? :lol Dude needs a new pair...

He started the series by slipping & falling after a dunk on the first possession:lol

[BillMc]

When Kawhi forced his way in for that dunk, the game changed. Up till then, the Spurs were up but it felt like they were losing.

Yep. That and when he ripped that rebound away from Kanter. It was like seeing KL take another step in his career, willing a team to victory!

[dbreiden83080]

hahaha, Derek Fisher is on NBATV...you can tell he's pissed.

Fucking jag off that guy. Hit the luckiest shot maybe in the history of the league.

It's also exactly what they did vs Cleveland in Game 4 of the 07 Finals when Manu hit the FT to go up 4 with a couple of seconds left. Damon Jones shot a meaningless three to make a one point game.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!

I will happily take Aldridge coming back down to earth in the form of a solid 24 point outing.

[99 Problems]

TP was great. Danny's D super in first half. Kawhi, kept slipping all night which worried me but great. Westy solid. MVPatty big 3 and got charge up other end, big plays.

Ibaka, man, stop him lol. Kanter, man, this guys a nice player. He's Spurs like.

[Slime Baller]

Pop and Becky with the matching blazers, heh.

Watch the replay. West was like 3 feet away from Westbrook when he took that shot.

[BillMc]

Press conference link for those who don't know:

http://www.nba.com/live1/

[Horry Hipcheck]

Huge stat to differentiate these franchises: Kawhi and Westbrook both had 31 points. Westbrook took 31 shot attempts to get there. Kawhi did it in 17.


Bonus: Spurs won the first, third, and fourth quarters.

[GSH]

I will happily take Aldridge coming back down to earth in the form of a solid 24 point outing.

+1

[sasaint]

Yep. That and when he ripped that rebound away from Kanter. It was like seeing KL take another step in his career, willing a team to victory!

I thought ripping the ball from Kanter was really huge for Kawhi and for the team.

[Russ]

34-20 FT edge for the Spurs at OKC.

Please shut up forever about "Thunder Refs."

[Mikeanaro]

Those final 3 minutes were unbelievable these fuckers keep shaving points missing calls and giving fouls that always are against the Spurs if not we would be 3-0.
You must perform like a machine making no mistakes but the other team is human and they need help blablabla.
Name just one game that was Spur-reffed...

http://memesvault.com/wp-content/uploads/Hahaha-No-Meme-11.png

[J_Paco]

Even in the win God it is depressing to see Tim playing so few minutes. Just saying.

I understand that West is more mobile of the two, but the son of a bitch had just 2 rebounds. He was getting absolutely eaten alive by Adams and Kanter on the boards.

[KimmyGib]

Kawhi being more active on the boards made the difference

[BillMc]

I thought ripping the ball from Kanter was really huge for Kawhi and for the team.

We need more of that! :claw

[01Snake]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!

Guy played a game high minutes. Probably wore him out after the first 2 monster games

[james evans]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!
they allowed ibaka, adams, and kanter to push and handcheck(which is illegal) . they're allowed to play physical with us, but we can't even have our jersey touch theirs on a drive

[rasuo214]

Great games by Kawhi and Tony, clutch with the FTs at the end. Nice to see someone step up when LMA wasn't having the best game. Also those rebounds and that dunk by Kawhi were huge. Props for Tony for also grabbing rebounds.

[Kawhitstorm]

Love timmy but how come he gets no blame when he struggles but yall shit on Tony constantly?!

Tim doesn't FORCE anything, he plays within the system & is still an elite rim protector. There isn't much he could do about having two shot knees & doesn't pout when he gets benched.

[baseline bum]

Watch the replay. West was like 3 feet away from Westbrook when he took that shot.

It's OKC though, haven't you seen the shit they have called on the Spurs there since 2012.

[GSH]

I thought ripping the ball from Kanter was really huge for Kawhi and for the team.


That woke up the whole team. They looked like punching bags before that. He sent a message that they had to go and get it. It was the first time in the whole game that I thought the Spurs were going to win it. Kawhi changed their energy level.

[james evans]

34-20 FT edge for the Spurs at OKC.

Please shut up forever about "Thunder Refs."
Those are actual fouls!!! Most of the fouls on them were fucking bullshit petty shit. Late in teh 4th, they gave them 3 straight bullshit fouls to try and get us in the bonus.

[Slomo]

Wow, Billy complaining about the refs not calling enough fouls for KD!

[SPURt]

If that was an above average half for OKC turnovers wise they might be in trouble

[313]

Lmao did anyone see what Stephen A Just said on ESPN? He basically credited Pop and the system for the win :lol

[Seventyniner]

Fucking jag off that guy. Hit the luckiest shot maybe in the history of the league.

Tim Duncan needs 4 more playoff wins to tie Derek Fisher for #1 all time. Good chance Tim gets there if the Spurs advance. He could have #1 all to himself if the Spurs lose the WCF in 7 or make the Finals.

[spurs10]

Victory!:flag: Hell yeah Bill!

[sasaint]

We need more of that! :claw

And let's not forget that tough, contested offensive rebound with +/- 20 seconds left! :toast

[silverblackfan]

Man that game was intense. Great win and a little strange with both Tim and Manu not in the game at the end.
The Spurs need these hard fought games. Hopefully, they will help prepare them for the next hyper-athletic, quick-shooting team.

[Beaverfuzz]

Shoot 11 less three's and make the same amount.


I LOVE IT!

:bobo

[Seventyniner]

The Spurs were getting a lot of calls too. David West traveled on his last bucket for example.

[Ron Swanson]

Wow, Billy complaining about the refs not calling enough fouls for KD!

It was the first time since game 1 when we demonstrated the will and the ability to play them as physically as they have played us. We have to find a way to have that "nasty" on the defensive boards.

[KDKSpurs24]

6 down, 10 to go! :flag:

[Spurs9]

Wow thunder 10/30 from 3

[Budkin]

It's OKC though, haven't you seen the shit they have called on the Spurs there since 2012.

There's a reason we call them refKC

[spurs10]

I actually think the debacle in Game 2 influenced the refs into calling a more fair game or at least from avoiding controversy.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

He gets up to the podium and says a major reason they lost was the free throw disparity and "I will have to go look at the tape to see why Durant is only getting to the line 5 times in a game" :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

LOL Thundertards complaining about the refs

I bet he's happy. He doesn't care about 41 points if we ain't winning.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim Duncan needs 4 more playoff wins to tie Derek Fisher for #1 all time. Good chance Tim gets there if the Spurs advance. He could have #1 all to himself if the Spurs lose the WCF in 7 or make the Finals.

Explains why Fisher looked pissed:lol

[pgardn]

I don't feel so good.

They really choked.
We gotta play better than this.

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban gets a DNP, Spurs win. Coincidence?:wakeup

[GSH]

It's worth remembering that this game started with Parker looking absolutely awful. Pop called a timeout and chewed his ass, and he put Patty in early. Parker sucked it up, and came back like a professional. Big game after a really rough start. Now in the post-game they are talking about him being the x-factor, and about Tony taking the lead in a huddle. That's what veteran leadership is all about.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't feel so good.

They really choked.
We gotta play better than this.

If you're referring to OKC, they are the worst 4th quarter team in the NBA, it's not a coincidence, bro:lol..it's going to occur more often than not..

Pretty good win. Withstood a good game from Durant and Ibaka. Spurs still got shit they need to work on, but it may not cost them vs OKC.

[Kawhitstorm]

If you're referring to OKC, they are the worst 4th quarter team in the NBA, it's not a coincidence, bro:lol..it's going to occur more often than not..

[HankChinaski]

Westchimp looks like he just came back from traveling in a time machine where he auditioned for a Michael Jackson video

[GSH]

Spurs had more fast break points than the Thunder. Running the break better, and playing transition D is a big part of how they won this one on the road.

They still got outscored in the paint 40-20. That's how they almost lost it.

[GSH]

Someone should tell him that "Orange is the new Black" does NOT mean those glasses.


728801754599575552

[Ice009]

What fucking shoes are Kawhi wearing? :lol Dude needs a new pair...

I couldn't tell in this game as I wasn't watching in HD, but he's been wearing the Jordan 30s towards the end of the season. It's kind of a mail in shoe from Jordan Brand as they dropped the ball a little bit compared to the previous two models. They are overall not as good as the Jordan 29 and 28s. Maybe he should go back to either of those models. The 28s and 29s are two of the best performance models in the past couple of years and the Jordan 28s (which he wore in 2014 playoffs and finals) have some of the best traction of all time. The thing is, Westbrook also usually wears the top Jordan brand shoe, so I'd assume he was also wearing the Jordan 30s (can anyone confirm?) this game and I don't recall him slipping much.

[Spurs9]

That's leadership!
It would be nice if they had that drive from the start of the game and didnt have to be sparked by something like parker yelling.

[SAGirl]

It's worth remembering that this game started with Parker looking absolutely awful. Pop called a timeout and chewed his ass, and he put Patty in early.

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs were getting a lot of calls too. David West traveled on his last bucket for example.

The OKC fans were begging for a travel on like six straight trips by the Spurs, none of which were actually violations. When West actually travelled, the refs didn't buy it, and weren't influenced by the crowd's reaction.

It's the kind of thing in the candor of the moment that one wants to hear. It reminded me of Timmy's subtle "we are going to do it this time" in 2014 when referring to the heat. It's the kind of confidence you want to hear fRom a team leader.

What preceded this

David West with the drive and bank shot to put the Spurs up 7 in the 4th.

[Down Under]

Sucks that Tim looks so bad at the rim, offensively..he's still a far better defender and rebounder than Diaw and West, but he's killing the Spurs on offense in this series..

I'd still give him a shot for a few minutes, hope he can find something for small stretches..

No question this is it for him. He had an awesome playoffs last year and was rolling up till the all star break, but somethings happened to his knee that he can't come back from at 40.

It depends if his bad knee has gotten worse. If not, then the bone bruise (or whatever the injury was) he got on his good knee might be OK again after resting it in the off-season.

[Horry Hipcheck]

That woke up the whole team. They looked like punching bags before that. He sent a message that they had to go and get it. It was the first time in the whole game that I thought the Spurs were going to win it. Kawhi changed their energy level.

Tbh it was not unlike his strip of Westbrook in Game 6 of 2014. That steal to stop the fast break layup stood out to me as one of those plays that gets remembered, for being pivotal for the winner and haunting for the loser.

[BillMc]

Anyone notice that Kawhi isn't doing podium interviews after games? I noticed it in the Grizz series, and he skipped it out tonight. Several of his games (including tonight) he'd be the obvious Spurs choice. Maybe he's just decided he doesn't like doing them?

[BillMc]

Well he did something to his face tbh.

Must be getting treatment. A Spur would never skip out on a chance to talk with the press

[HankChinaski]

I wasn't talking about his face it is what it is i meant his 80s Michael Jackson/Madonna backup dancer outfit. I thought he was one of the guys from MJ's "I'm Bad" video

[HankChinaski]

or maybe it was "beat it" I forget been a while since i watched those videos.

It's possible they're treating a quad or hamstring injury given than game 1 fall. But he's seems spry enough tbh.

It's worth remembering that this game started with Parker looking absolutely awful. Pop called a timeout and chewed his ass, and he put Patty in early. Parker sucked it up, and came back like a professional. Big game after a really rough start. Now in the post-game they are talking about him being the x-factor, and about Tony taking the lead in a huddle. That's what veteran leadership is all about.

Tbh, I don't recall Tony's sitting in the "choir director's chair" and taking the lead during a timeout as he did last night. I loved it. With the imminent departure of both Tim and Manu, we are about to face the most serious leadership vacuum since before the arrival of David Robinson. If Tony remains with the team, perhaps he is more capable of partially filling that void than I expect.

[hooperflash]

The 28s and 29s are two of the best performance models in the past couple of years and the Jordan 28s (which he wore in 2014 playoffs and finals) have some of the best traction of all time. The thing is, Westbrook also usually wears the top Jordan brand shoe, so I'd assume he was also wearing the Jordan 30s (can anyone confirm?) this game and I don't recall him slipping much.

He was playing great in the low model of the Jordan 29s earlier this season. I think the reason behind the slippage could be because he doesn't always switch out his shoes and Westbrook tries to wear a new pair (even if it's the same color way) for every game. Something else to consider is the way a player plants his feet as he runs, Kawhi may be applying more of his weight on a certain part of his foot that decreases the traction of the outsole no matter how good it's supposed to perform. All in all, he needs to wipe them a lot and I have yet to see him do that.

[TampaDude]

Glad we snatched HCA back last night, but I also think we should be up 3-0.

It is what it is. Spurs in 5. Book it.

Westbrook's career was almost derailed when he broke his orbital bone.

That shit was nasty.

[Spurtacular]

I couldn't watch Game 3 live do to other commitments. So, I watched it on replay, late at night. However, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the Yahoo Sports home page. The headline was Cleveland going up 3-0. I figured that meant SA won because they surely would've been celebrating had OKC went up 2-1. I wasn't even that anxious in the fourth. You can set your watch by this media.

I'm too lame to get this embedded but this is the prettiest play of the game;

Why didn't ploto and Hoops show up after game 3 like they did following game 2, tbh?:lol

That doesn't change the fact that overall, the traction on the Jordan 30s isn't as good as the 28s and 29s. I think Kawhi should consider going back to the 29s or 29 lows. He can't be slipping around like that.

[dabom]

You piece of shit. Numbers don't give credibility. You are the shittiest poster on this site, and when you look around and see human refuse like junior on here you realize what a dreg piece of shit you really are

Thanks. I didn't pay attention to the shoes during game 3 (was more focused on the game than player's footwear) and I didn't get to watch the past game in HD, so I couldn't easily tell what he was wearing during the game. I guess I should have looked up some photos instead.

Has he been wearing the 29s the whole playoffs or just for the OKC series? I'm surprised he's slipped as much as he has if wearing the 29s, as the traction on those is definitely better and more consistent than the 30s Westbrook is wearing.

wfere arethe responsible hiding? Did BatManu say he was out of pocket for this weekend or just one game? He usually puts the thread up in the afternoon.

[TheGreatYacht]

Creating the Game 3 game thread early cause I'll be out of the country on Friday. Spurs are looking to bounce back from a poor Game 2 performance that resulted in a close loss. Despite the blown call at the end, we had our chances. We just didn't play well enough to win it. No excuses. It's time to bounce back and steal at least one on their floor. I think we'll be dialed in this next game. Hopefully LMA continues his unbelievable play, and we need Kawhi to play like Kawhi again. Also, some of our role players really need to step up. Everyone will be available for both teams. Not much else needs to be said. Let's get it.

Me neither, but it was obvious in the pics.

XXXs and 29s vs Memphis; 29s exclusively vs OKC.
