Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC -- Game 4 - Sun (5/8) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga)

[TDomination]

Man when the bench comes in and plays like that, the Spurs are really tough to beat!!

[TheDoctor]

Awesome to see the role players stepping up

[Ron Swanson]

Somewhere SAGirl is a happy woman. :flag:

Det bean tho

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs looking great while Kawhi and LMA rest up... :tu

Read somewhere that Lamarcus has seen the bench for like 9 minutes in the past two games IIRC

[Mal]

Has OKC lost their fire ?

[DMC]

Westbrook: "I need to find my guys, get them some shots. I shot too much, this is on me"

Takes 2x more shots in the 1st than anyone else on the team.

[Horry Hipcheck]

OKC looks disinterested.

OKC playing like they're down 0-3 and in San Antonio tbh

[soxxx]

pressure is rising for OKC ... lets see if Ibaka still makes his hots nowPressure is rising on Durant as this is potentially the final game in OKC.

[HI-FI]

that was a great first quarter

cosigned.

good sign that the refs aren't totally falling for OKC's usually bag of bullshit tricks.

[Strategic]

Bury them in the second.

[hater]

Spurs came to play..lets hope it keeps up

[Ron Swanson]

http://assets.rebelcircus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/How-frequently-do-girls-flick-the-bean-.gif

:lmao

[SPURt]

Anderson with 3 steals is found gold

[ElNono]

shiiiit... I thought the game was 8:30 ET.... glad we're up

[HankChinaski]

Great 1st Quarter. Looking good defensively after that first couple minutes.

[Keepin' it real]

I think RW might get himself ejected tonight.

[BillMc]

http://assets.rebelcircus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/How-frequently-do-girls-flick-the-bean-.gif
:lol

[Spurs9]

Anderson is such a strange player :lol

[SAGirl]

SAGirl, how's KA doing?
I am waiting foR The Doctor to place that picture he has of "me" lol :lol

[DMC]

Has OKC lost their fire ?
No, they just need a short run to get going. They look doubtful but if the Spurs let them come back they'll get the crowd into it and you know how that goes, RW will have 40.

[unleashbaynes]

Refs coddling OKC and we still lead by 10

[Horry Hipcheck]

BOBO!

[MVPCues]

Maybe Diaw will find himself in this game...

[Silver&Black]

:lol When Waiters scores a bucket he acts like he just hit the game winner

[HarlemHeat37]

Jesus, Nick Collison and Cameron-Payne on the floor together in a playoff game :lmao:lmao:lmao

[SpurPadre]

Slomo playing great D!

[Raven]

they keep on going to that KA-KD matchup and boy it just doesn't work :lol

[littlecoyotecoin]

We got one!

[01Snake]

WTF?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Refs don't know who they're trying to help tonight :lol

[spurtech09]

Another crappy call.

[Trainwreck2100]

why are payne and collison in?

[TheDoctor]

Somewhere SAGirl is a happy woman. :flag:

[Silver&Black]

Don't be a fucking dumbass West...

[Canyonero]

WTF

[james evans]

yeah those offensive fouls are gonna put them back in it. popovich PLEASE PUT THE STARTERS BACK IN!!!

[urunobili]

That turnobili made hater go get a selfie in the restroom...

[unleashbaynes]

These refs are fucking garbage

[HarlemHeat37]

OKC desperately needs to get something out of Kanter, I'm surprised they haven't stubbornly fed him more in this series..

[mclinejr]

Adams is dirty.

[Horry Hipcheck]

West needs to use his aggression during the actual play tbh

[james evans]

these refs are fucking cheating. Added in with popovich allowing okc to come back

[808]

Spurs get called for the weakest fucken techs it's infuriating

[Kawhitstorm]

LMAO KD trying to play bitch ball and the refs aren't letting him :lol

729468211628892160

[Canyonero]

Manu the Glove

[FaM0us Skins]

Ginobili with the steal!

[Silver&Black]

:tu Payne on the court is always a good thing

[ElNono]

Playoff Manu <3

[Horry Hipcheck]

Vicious steal by Manu

[Raven]

:lol When Waiters scores a bucket he acts like he just hit the game winner

he's a smart kid, he understands he has no business playing in the nba and cherishes the moment

[SpurPadre]

Make both free throws Manu, Goddamnit

[Holden_Caulfield]

man we need to capitalize more on the TOs

[james evans]

Adams is dirty.
he been dirty. Fucking dirty and flops like a fucking grade school cheerleader

[beirmeistr]

gino pulling another kawhi

[hater]

Evita playing great. 2 steals....

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, I can't believe how bad Cameron-Payne has been in this series:lmao..every time he's on the floor, the Spurs feast..

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol mills on russell?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs slowly building that lead with Aldridge and Leonard on the bench
OKC fucked :lol

[unleashbaynes]

Another trash call

[hater]

Shit Boban time.

[TheDoctor]

Triple-double alert for Gino?

[Uriel]

Manu is relentless.

[ElNono]

how bout thumping your chest after making 1-2 freebies, Waiter? :lol

[01Snake]

Mills with the careless passes

[spursistan]

get Parker back in there..Mills can't run shit..

[Spurs9]

Manu looks really good out here, he can probably play anotyer year tbh

[DMC]

Hate saying it but Tim is done. He cannot transition, can't defend without fouling, can't hit a layup. Why is he on the floor?

[noles1983]

man, tosb duncan.

[TheGreatYacht]

Playing Kyle and Tim together :lmao

Just asking to play 3 on 5 on offense

[BillMc]

Between fouls and timeouts this game feels like it stops every few seconds.

[Silver&Black]

how bout thumping your chest after making 1-2 freebies, Waiter? :lol

Did you see him last game? Hit a corner 3 late in the game (:lol His first made FG of the game) and he basically did the Jason Terry "Jet" move all the way back to midcourt? All while staring at your boy Ginobili...

Fucking scrub.

[Uriel]

Why is Donovan leaving Russy on the bench for so long? Is he injured?

[Robz4000]

Pop with the terrible rotation bads again.

[Horse]

Take away thunderefs we're up 20 gotta keep pushing.

[sasaint]

he been dirty. Fucking dirty and flops like a fucking grade school cheerleader

Tangles up Tim and puts him on the floor every time they are competing for a rebound. Going after the old guy's knees, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Free Boban, seriously.

[BillMc]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/0621fb34859da238c1098d3d25675aec/tumblr_mga7izai0l1r3ifxzo7_250.gif

That's creepy as hell. :lol

[DMC]

Between fouls and timeouts this game feels like it stops every few seconds.
That's because it does. It's on TNT. They sell airtime. Seems faster on FSSW.

[Horry Hipcheck]

I need some transition threes from Danny.

[Keepin' it real]

Spurstalk says: get Parker back in there..Mills can't run shit..

In unrelated news, hell has frozen over.

[Robz4000]

Hate saying it but Tim is done. He cannot transition, can't defend without fouling, can't hit a layup. Why is he on the floor?

Looked fine to start the game. Just can't play so many slow players alongside him.

[Kawhitstorm]

Hate saying it but Tim is done. He cannot transition, can't defend without fouling, can't hit a layup. Why is he on the floor?

I guess, to set screens?

[DPG21920]

Pop knows the second half push is coming and with a large lead, he's buying time for the main guys. It's scary but so far SA, if they score here, would have the same lead they did going into the 2nd quarter despite some funky lineups.

[ElNono]

Did you see him last game? Hit a corner 3 late in the game (:lol His first made FG of the game) and he basically did the Jason Terry "Jet" move all the way back to midcourt? All while staring at your boy Ginobili...

Fucking scrub.

Hope he enjoyed that L...

[beirmeistr]

Why is Donovan leaving Russy on the bench for so long? Is he injured?

may have a brain strain

[DMC]

Why is Donovan leaving Russy on the bench for so long? Is he injured?
He said he was going to pass the ball more. He hasn't been. Maybe Donovan has some balls, but I doubt it.

[BillMc]

That's because it does. It's on TNT. They sell airtime. Seems faster on FSSW.
Truth.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Why does TNT have to keep Kevin Harlan away from Spurs games?

[01Snake]

Need to get LDN some shots, TBH

[sasaint]

Hate saying it but Tim is done. He cannot transition, can't defend without fouling, can't hit a layup. Why is he on the floor?

Because OKC may beat Tim, but their bigs will massacre West and Diaw.

[DPG21920]

Danny Green is about to get some looks - he needs to be ready to hit :tu

[Horry Hipcheck]

Parker was ready to punish Westbrook on the pass

[spursistan]

Timmy can't even rebound nowadays..tragic falloff.

[TheGreatYacht]

Duncan is such a terrible rebounder now... Just sad

[HarlemHeat37]

He said he was going to pass the ball more. He hasn't been. Maybe Donovan has some balls, but I doubt it.

The alternative is the worst backup PG in the playoffs:lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

Duncan with 4.

[Silver&Black]

4 fouls on Timmy D

[SpurPadre]

Adams is killing us, smh

[steeledl]

So sad for Timmy

[Horry Hipcheck]

This series isn't for Timmy but the Spurs are fucked if they have no other size option but Boban in this game.

[ElNono]

that was clean... timmy gets that block at home

[james evans]

bullshit ass calls

[spurtech09]

Adam is a dirty player.

[Raven]

tony came here to play

[Ron Swanson]

Tony +1

[Canyonero]

Parker!!

[noles1983]

good, duncan foul trouble can only help he sucks now

[Horry Hipcheck]

MVPARKER!

[Slime Baller]

Westbrook apologizes to his team and continues to chuck threes.

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVParker

[spurtech09]

TP9

[Strategic]

Tony

[Cklbmk]

Time to unleash Boban on Adams TBH

[SupremeGuy]

MVParker :cry

[ElNono]

tony doing what he does

[PopTheGOAT]

Did Parker just yawn? :lol

[sasaint]

Boban time?

Got no choice this game with TD in such deep early foul trouble.

[steeledl]

MVP

[Vokun]

Good shit parker

[wut]

seriously if Duncan looks so bad, maybe they should give him some games off to rest.

[Silver&Black]

MVParker again...

Mon Negro.

[Uriel]

All Adams' siblings are 6"5 or taller? :wow

That genetic lottery...

[Horry Hipcheck]

Parker going 2013 Memphis on OKC

[spursistan]

loving the Parker of the last 6 quarters..

[spurtech09]

OKC is getting lucky lol

[ElNono]

gotta grab those loose balls

[Ron Swanson]

Tony :wow

[FaM0us Skins]

Vintage Tony!!

[MVPCues]

Wow. Incredible range on Parker's layups.

[01Snake]

TP is fucking ballin'!!

[Silver&Black]

Vintage tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Parker whoa!

[steeledl]

MVParker...

[Horry Hipcheck]

Holy shit Tony Parker

[wut]

bs call on West.

[RD2191]

MVPORKER

[SpurPadre]

2 near steals result in OKC baskets. Oh well, gotta love the active hands.

[ffadicted]

Parker:toast

[spurtech09]

freebies......OKC getting Lucky

[Ron Swanson]

RefKC already in the bonus

[james evans]

so basically we aren't allowed to play defense this game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Did West go stupid on us? Wtf is he doing

[soxxx]

Parker haters must be salty, the guy is going into OKC and playing brilliantly.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Parker!!

[Kawhitstorm]

WTF is West doing?:downspin:(It's going to be a parade to the FT line the rest of the quarter)

[ElNono]

gonna be a freethrow parade from here on out for OKC

[Horry Hipcheck]

This half will be tough to close. Spurs in the bonus with nearly 7 minutes left.

[Vokun]

Thunderrefs in full force tonight.

[SpurPadre]

TP in teammate wife-fucking mode! Fuck yes!

[noles1983]

thunderefs

[Silver&Black]

http://brandandcelebrities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tony-parker-tissot-ambassadeur-marque-2014-e1397466157744.jpg

[808]

2 near steals result in OKC baskets. Oh well, gotta love the active hands.

OKC is living off lucky bounces the past few possessions... So unfortunate

[sasaint]

Time to unleash Boban on Adams TBH

I do not understand why Pop hasn't played Boban against Adams so far.

[DAF86]

Man, wouldn't this be the most perfect time for Tony to start playing like MVParker again?

[Horry Hipcheck]

LMA coming up short a lot

[Slime Baller]

Parker looking great. Weird foul there by West. Didn't even catch it live--what did he do?

[spurtech09]

Waiters keeping in it......

[01Snake]

These fouls are getting out of hand

[spursistan]

Green dribbling :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs crumbling under pressure.

[RD2191]

Wtf

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA reverting to passing up open shot & putting Danny in a tough spot.:bang

[Horry Hipcheck]

I do not understand why Pop hasn't played Boban against Adams so far.

Only reason I can think of is he's slow and foul prone

[noles1983]

faggot ass waiters. scrub.

[beirmeistr]

god, green is dumb

[Robz4000]

Fucking West killed the momentum.

[TheGreatYacht]

Our bigs are Fcking killing us.

Kawhi passive today, cmon man

[ElNono]

you only give it to Danny when he's wide open for a shot...

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to move the ball......Spurs play better with ball movement.

[steeledl]

Let Tony run the offense. Cmon man.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck, down to 6 now.

Can't believe how quickly we allowed the Thunder to get into bonus. Gonna be a loooong quarter.

[sasaint]

This half will be tough to close. Spurs in the bonus with nearly 7 minutes left.

Hope we can weather the storm.

[Horse]

Zebras put them in the bonus early that will keep them in the game.

[noles1983]

what a shit show the last several minutes

[spursistan]

LMA reverting to passing up open shot & putting Danny in a tough spot.:bang
losing a bit a confidence? he came up short few times on his jumper..

[LakerHater]

2 terrible poss

[TheGreatYacht]

"I don't know if I'm willing to let go of Green for Durant"

:lmao

[01Snake]

15-6 FT disparity already.

[BillMc]

Zebras put them in the bonus early that will keep them in the game.

Refs too active this game. Let 'em play.

[Ditty]

Need more ball movement guys. We'll be fine.

[DPG21920]

They are calling every little bump/grab on SA but Kawhi/LMA grabbed a lot and not called. Just call it fair. Same contact on both ends.

[weeks]

wtf green

[SpurPadre]

LMA coming up short a lot

He's not getting any lift in those jumpers.

[DAF86]

These fuckers are a bitch to play, tbh. They have a buncho of scrubs playing and make a lot of mistakes but they always seem to dig deep and put a hell of a fight, even when it seems like they have no bussiness being on games.

[Keepin' it real]

I do not understand why Pop hasn't played Boban against Adams so far.

These playoffs are not for Boban.

:pop:

[Vokun]

"I don't know if I'm willing to let go of Green for Durant"

:lmao

:lol

[Harry Callahan]

Thunderefs showing up. Durant committed three fouls in about five seconds there.

[SAGirl]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/0621fb34859da238c1098d3d25675aec/tumblr_mga7izai0l1r3ifxzo7_250.gif
:lol thanks Dr. I was looking forward to this. /tu

[spursistan]

D West has played extremely dumb with his foul-taking..

[Keepin' it real]

LMA hip hurt from game 3?

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs playing without a Center, don't even suit Boban up if he won't play... Poopovich

[sasaint]

Only reason I can think of is he's slow and foul prone

True, but their bigs have ripped us all series on the offensive boards. Boban is the only body we have that is big enough to compete with Adams - especially with Tim's wheels falling off before our eyes.

[spursistan]

"I don't know if I'm willing to let go of Green for Durant"

:lmao
:lol

[Silver&Black]

"I don't know if I'm willing to let go of Green for Durant"

:lmao

Don't listen to those guys. They're probably just trolling.

[Cklbmk]

These playoffs are not for Boban.

:pop:

These playoffs were made for Boban.

[spurtech09]

Spurs playing like crap now :(

[Cklbmk]

Adams gonna get a fat contract

[Darius Bieber]

No chance in hell this Spurs team can win even 1 game against the Warriors.

[Horry Hipcheck]

True, but their bigs have ripped us all series on the offensive boards. Boban is the only body we have that is because g enough to compete with Adams - especially with Tim's wheels falling off before our eyes.

I agree completely, I just have to imagine that's what Pop is thinking.

[noles1983]

spurs in bitch mode

[MVPCues]

About time Pop called a time out.

[spurtech09]

No good.....OKC rolling

[01Snake]

For fucks sake! Get it together!

[SpurPadre]

They are dominating right now. Good timeout.

[ElNono]

they're just playing harder than we are right now... transition defense also slipping

[Silver&Black]

Ugh..

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ehh. We knew they'd make a run. Spurs just need to relax and sharpen up.

[Darius Bieber]

Game over tbh

[RD2191]

Fukin choke.

[Vokun]

Starters playing like shit

[spursistan]

LMA getting passive out there playing hot-potato with ball like in early November..

[urunobili]

Alpharker taking over. Not sure if me like it...

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Can't score with Leonard and Aldridge on the floor.

[Strategic]

Get that dunking under control

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are just too easy to guard sometimes.

[Horse]

It's ok we knew they would make a run. Just keep playing

[Neurosis]

If we're in the bonus this early we need to actually score buckets to keep up. Rest of this half rests on our offense tbh.

[mclinejr]

OKC will go on their little runs. Nothing to worry about.

[BillMc]

Fiddlesticks.

[-21-]

These fuckers are a bitch to play, tbh. They have a buncho of scrubs playing and make a lot of mistakes but they always seem to dig deep and put a hell of a fight, even when it seems like they have no bussiness being on games.
Took the words right out of my mouth.

[noles1983]

bunch of vaginas in spurs jerseys on the court right now

[beirmeistr]

need more ball movement, less hero ball

[DarrinS]

Game of runs -- be patient

[TheGreatYacht]

This is on Poopovich.

Rim WIDE FUCKING OPEN with Lamarcus and a Turd Tower next to him.

Take Green's pathetic ass out. He's not even trying to get open. Standing like a statue

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Horry Hipcheck]

Westbrook pushing KD out the door :lol

[spurtech09]

KL fouled?

[Fireball]

Spurs are wasting opportunities ... too many fouls ... stagnant offense ...

[Robz4000]

Zero ball movement

[timtonymanu]

Typical Spurs blowing leads :lol

[DarrinS]

Game over tbh

^lakertard

[Kawhitstorm]

Can Fuckin' Patty make a WIDE open shot?:bang

[Ron Swanson]

We can't buy a bucket right now

[Raven]

wtf

[Robz4000]

What a fucking joke

[noles1983]

when did okc begin to have a defense?

[sasaint]

Can't score with Leonard and Aldridge on the floor.

Serious downer.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Two wide open threes missed. Spurs need some leadership out there.

[timtonymanu]

Mills you trash

[sasaint]

when did okc begin to have a defense?

Game 2.

[TheGreatYacht]

Boris Diaw :lmao

Dont bring back this fat fuck

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs don't deserve to win.

[loveforthegame]

Mills and Diaw yet to show up.

[Budkin]

Damn what a choke. At least it's only tied.

[Ron Swanson]

Finally

[noles1983]

pathetic spurs

[Horry Hipcheck]

Aldridge, finally.

[spursistan]

Trade Mills ass in the offseason..what fuckin useless turd he's turned into..

[Neurosis]

Someone just needs to fucking SHOOT. They're passing up good shots trying to get a great one. Just take the good one ffs.

[loveforthegame]

LMA stops the bleeding. :tu
