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

[BatManu20]

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.

30 point loss tomorrow. I don't see LaMarcus continuing his hot shooting.

[spursistan]

Spurs have been dismal on the road against quality opposition practically all season long....

Championship teams always have these bounce-back/response game once they lose HC in the series..we'll see what they are made of..They got 4 days of rest to digest what happened in Game 2; if they come out and get drilled in that building like the past two playoffs meeting with OKC, we might just start consider the possibility of losing the series...I have zero faith in this team to comeback from 1-3. down..Even 2-2 is a dicey affair..

This is no different than the 2014 Finals, actually folks thought the Heat should have been up 2-0 b/c they had control of Gm 1 until the 4th quarter when the AC stopped working.:lol (I've a feeling Kawhi is going to come out firing in Gm 3 so I'm not worried about them sleepwalking)

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs still favored in Game 3 despite what feels like a huge disadvantage playing at Chesapeake, a place where some of their worst playoff beat downs have been administered. I'll be nervous about this one until it's over. A 67 win team would find a way to bounce back. I'm still a little unsure.

Gut check time. Hopefully a bounce back game by Pop, Leonard, and Timmy. Not really confident in Patty to do anything on the road anymore, tbh.

Would starting Bobo over TD be something to consider if things don't go well in the first half of Game 3?

I hate this long wait, the schedule sucks.

I can't wait for Friday night.

I got tickets to game 5 so I'm hoping that can be a series closeout game for the Spurs. Or at worst, a 2 - 2 tie heading into that game.

Simply 2 fricking amazing performances. With the tiniest bit of help ( is 2 fucking points that hard? ), Spurs up 2-0.

[cutewizard]

defining moment of the new LaMarcus-Kawhi Spurs, tbh

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs lose due to KD making 3 FT attempts on a phantom foul from 3pt range, with 1.5 seconds left, in which he steps on the line.

Saturday morning, the league posts an "oops I did it again" twit, along with the 2 minute report showing about 5 incorrect calls on Thunder fouls, and a technical they should have called on Kevin Martin for picking his nose on the bench.

Even in victory the Thunder showed enough stupidity that it's hard to see them beating a 67 win team.

[tholdren]

On Wednesday, Parker was asked about how the Spurs have made Aldridge their go-to scorer and whether it affects other players. Parker gave a frank answer about how roles evolve and how it's important to stay focused (via Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express News (https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/727927320674107392)):
You always have that discussion, because then the other guys are not in rhythm. But hey, LaMarcus has been playing unbelievable. If he keeps playing like that, it's our job, even if we get three shots, four shots, we have to make them. That's a tough life. For me, I used to get 15 or 20 shots, so I got time to get a rhythm. When you get four shots, you have to make them. That's my job now. That's my life now. I have to make those shots. I know I'm going to get three or four and then I'm not going to see it again for 10 minutes. It's like that. I'm just going to have to make them.

[Dex]

Even in victory the Thunder showed enough stupidity that it's hard to see them beating a 67 win team.

I'm inclined to agree. Even with everybody but LaMarcus playing like ass, the Thunder still were lucky to scrape out a controversial victory.

That being said, Game 2 was a perfect example of how anything can happen when you have two guys of KD and Westbrook's talent. Spurs gotta come correct and steal one back in OKC, and that still is setting us up for a long series.

[Brian Windhorst]

Rest of the series is all about Pop.

Can't be so scared of them on the glass that you severely underplay Diaw and overplay Duncan.

Can't be so scared of foul trouble that you sit Kawhi for long stretches.

If they want to give up on KD/WB drives and throw lobs to Adams, let them. They're no CP3 and he's no Deandre Jordan.

If they're going to double Kawhi in the post, he needs to slash to the basket from the wing or shoot threes. You won't beat KD with turnaround fadeaway jumpers.

Danny, Kawhi, and Aldridge should be playing no less than 38mpg.

The first and fourth quarters are the time to spam Aldridge. Don't ice out the rest of the team for the heart of the game and expect them to contribute in the first six minutes of the fourth.

If Anderson isn't giving you anything, play Martin and put him on Roberson or Singler. The bench scored 24 pts in G2.

Dion Waiters is one of the worst players in the playoffs. Put TP on him and goad him into shooting more. If he makes a few buckets put a real defender on him, he'll keep chucking.

Most of all, tell the team to get their heads out of their asses and stop thinking about Golden State.

No guts no glory.

Man we need to win tonight... not complete panic time if we lose, but I think this is the 1 to steal with 3 days off.

Last time down 2-1, that was 2014 to the Mavs. So not too long ago, but im more comfortable with the 2-1 lead odds:)

Agree 100%. We need to win one of these, and with the rest, this should be the easier one.

I've avoided ESPN and sports shows all week because of that loss on Monday.

Let's go out there and play ball.

Can we please stop trying to run our offense early in the game through Tim and Tony? Thanks. I want either Kawhi, LMA, or Danny to shoot the first 15 shots for us. Everyone else, just get out of the way.

Yep. A 1 point loss after a 32 point win and he's convinced. Imagine if Manu/Patty/LMA had made that last bucket? All they would have talked about all week is how OKC blew another 4th Quarter lead. The teams would effectively had played the same, but the narrative would be completely different.

Loved the Slater in game tid-bit when Pop pulled Manu and asked for the called play. Showed the team in general was outta focus.

As long as OKC can consistently keep LMA's offense looking like prime Hakeem we good :toast The Spurs just need the rest of the players to up their intensity and focus a notch.

[BillMc]

Yeah. Good point. They'll be focused tonight.

That point also shows that after all these years Pop still has no problem lighting into a future HOFer. As mentioned many times, that he and Tim and Tony take it, is an example to Kawh and LMA and the roleplayers.

Thanks for sharing that. I agree with Gomez on West. This matchup is tough for him and his rebounding issues are exposed, so is Diaw, but Diaw's range and versatility make a him more likely to be able to punish them but he has to be willing to hit from 3.

I think Pop will not overreact and will stay big but give more minutes to Boban than D west. We shall see.

I am so chill for this game. It seems like it could go either way. I just want the team to play loose and hit shots and if OKC figures it out, tip your hat and move on. But we have a better top two players, better coach, and better bench.

But wholly shit, OKC is too dumb to realize they are supposed to lose. I can't stand teams like that.

[bklynspursfan]

Nerves nerves nerves...... I just don't know which spurs team will show up tonight

[Darius Bieber]

Not a good feeling with tonight's game. If the Spurs start slow, as they often do on the road, it'll be an easy win for OKC at home. If the Spurs come out hot and blazing, they have a chance of winning.

[siraulo23]

Should be an entertaining game but the Spurs gotta be careful or it could get ugly early

[Slime Baller]

I'm of the mind that the embarrassing ass whoopin' in game one made OKC try, as a group, for a change. That's not their normal MO. Expect a regression to the mean, some dumb hero ball out of Scotty Brooks 2.0's playbook, and the Spurs to win here.

[Slime Baller]

The tendency to see the sky falling with this team, both as fans and within the ranks of journos and pundits, is at full Spinal Tap eleven. We really have been so spoiled that we're utterly incapable of dealing with adversity as a fanbase anymore, lol.

[Horse]

Not only that but the lose will refocus the Spurs

[Arcadian]

Fuck this long ass wait! Start already!

Spurs can win if the Pop that shows up is at least as good as Scotty Brooks... It's mostly Byron Scott levels nowadays though.
