Game Thread: Spurs vs OKC -- Game 5 - Tue (5/10) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga)

[Darius Bieber]

OKC doesn't have one team foul. SA has 4. I thought we are at home?

[tholdren]

I hate to say it.... but PLAY ANDERSON

[r0drig0lac]

fat diaw

[bklynspursfan]

Why is Anderson checking in so early..... this is a big time game man

[spurraider21]

why is diaw even putting on a post move... you're 4 feet from the basket with a huge size advantage, just go straight up with it

[DPG21920]

Unacceptable amount of turn overs for a home game & crucial playoff game. F*cking focus. Take care of the damn ball. Stop being both slow & careless.

[bklynspursfan]

I don't give a fuck.

Cut Boris Dia-betes this offseason. He looks like the whale he used to be in Charlotte

He was 1 of the few bright spots last game.

[DarrinS]

this game needs a good set of balls, get Manu in there...

Yep :lol

[Keepin' it real]

Why is Anderson checking in so early..... this is a big time game man

The future is now.

[TheGreatYacht]

I just heard "Checking in: Kyle Anderson!"

:lmao Poop retire you POS

[spurraider21]

I hate to say it.... but PLAY ANDERSON


Why is Anderson checking in so early..... this is a big time game man
:lol

[urunobili]

Lol Diaw
Needing more dribbles with Westbrook on him

[TE]

First of all gotta finish that transition. Second, that's a bad call. Can't reward a player for playing out of control at any level of basketball. Now they'll be going to the free throw line the rest of the quarter. Fucking terrible.

[dbreiden83080]

Hate to say it but Duncan needs to sit out this series.

He is the Splitter of the 2014, need Diaw to take his spot to stretch the floor and make Ibaka irrelevant.

They need his rebounding badly. And West has been trash and Diaw not much better.

[PopTheGOAT]

Gonna try to calm down. Only down one on an absolute F effort so far

[AusSpur]

OKC are just painful to watch.

Physical team who are incredibly floppy and suck the refs in every time.

[hater]

this is a sad way to go

[TheRemix]

with tony and diaw running down...thats not a fastbreak thats a fatbreak

[tholdren]

Manu - Danny - KL - Anderson/Martin - Boban.

Parker - useless
West - useless
Diaw - useless

[Vokun]

You know what. At some point our players need to just start knocking the fuck outta OKC. If you are going to get touch fouls, might as well make them worth it tbh.

[SouthernFried]

Is there a Flu bug in the Spurs locker room? They all look slow and sick.

[TE]

Unacceptable amount of turn overs for a home game & crucial playoff game. F*cking focus. Take care of the damn ball. Stop being both slow & careless.
Looks bad seeing as that this is a veteran team.

[Mugen]

:lol Just call it both ways, refs.

[td4mvp21]

I just heard "Checking in: Kyle Anderson!"

:lmao Poop retire you POS

Kawhi had to have said something about being tired last game (which is understandable). Notice he didn't start the game on Westbrook.

[TheGreatYacht]

He was 1 of the few bright spots last game.
Him and his 1 rebound in 20+ minutes was also a reason we lost tbh

[hater]

Diaw needs to go Gordo Porcel on these motherfucker.

fat fucking piece of grease :pctoss

[spurtech09]

Wonder if KL is ok.

[Darius Bieber]

Fuck it, play Kevin Martin for some instant offense and hide him on Roberson on defense.

[TDfan2007]

pretty awful start so far

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs playing like the majority of this roster has never been in a big Game 5 before.

[Keepin' it real]

Unacceptable amount of turn overs for a home game & crucial playoff game. F*cking focus. Take care of the damn ball. Stop being both slow & careless.

1 .. 2 .. 3 SPURS!

:pop:

[DPG21920]

The team looks tired more than anything else. Have to hope they can dig deep here. If you're tired, rely on playing smart and crisp. Have to find a way here. It's early and they are trying hard on defense, but they have to dig deep and the bench needs to step up this game.

Come on Boris/Manu/Mills, SA needs you this game.

[Harry Callahan]

OKC cannot operate without the whistle. They are rewarded for out of control bullshit.

[Pauleta14]

2 fouls on TP and LA

Are they gonna be out the whole half?

FUCK

[RD2191]

:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

He seriously watched the ball! Are u kidding me??

[Ron Swanson]

We just stood there looking at the loose ball while Westbrook grabbed it.

[HI-FI]

shit i guess it already started.

nonetheless.
:flag:

[100%duncan]

Nice. Fathead cant even rebound the fucking ball Fuckign FAGGOT ROTATIONS

[ffadicted]

wow... zero effort on that board...

[DPG21920]

YOu cannot lose those got damn rebounds! It will kill you - what is happening????

[Darius Bieber]

grab the fucking rebound.

[KDKSpurs24]

Why doesn't anybody want a lose ball?! The whole series!!

[ElNono]

fucking fathead asleep!! fuck!

[TheGreatYacht]

Fat Head not even trying to rebound :lmao

OKC gets a bucket

[SouthernFried]

3 guys looking at the rebound...none of them even tried to get it.

[hitmanyr2k]

Westbrook had no reason getting that rebound lol

[Spurs9]

Kyles effort :lol

[RD2191]

Lol LMA

[Knoxxx]

Getting out hustled to every loose ball or rebound ugh.

[hater]

OMG awful play by the Spurs

:lol

holy shit

[resistanze]

:lol fat head

[loveforthegame]

Way to watch the ball Anderson.

Spurs getting out worked in every aspect.

[spurraider21]

diaw 1.0

get him out of the game

[NASpurs]

Patty had a fucking layup

[DPG21920]

Mills, how about you take a damn layup?

[timtonymanu]

Pop shitty rotation again

[Darius Bieber]

what kind of offense is this shit? looking like the 76ers.

[TDfan2007]

We're playing scared

[tholdren]

spurs scared to take a layup

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs with zero offensive rhythm. Every player looks surprised to be given the ball.

[spurtech09]

To much passing

[bklynspursfan]

Pop getting Kawhi out so early in a pivotal game. Idk durant is out. This lineup is terrifying

[spurraider21]

spurs would be getting called for fouls every time if they played that kind of defense

[Keepin' it real]

How are Spurs only down 3?

[TE]

Holy shit turd towers 2.0.

[Darius Bieber]

Roberson playing better defense than Leonard :lol

[hater]

LMAO Diaw, West and Anderson in. fucking shit lineup

[NASpurs]

David West, Diaw lineup :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Diaw/West in a crucial game

:lol Poop

[tholdren]

west in the paint..???

[Spurs9]

Leonard is no superstar, he has a long way to go

[NASpurs]

LMAO Diaw, West and Anderson in. fucking shit lineup

The Trinity of Shit

[Kawhitstorm]

I like the TRAP on KD instead of the switch:toast

[Darius Bieber]

This has got to be the shittiest lineup the Spurs have had on the court in 4 years...

[TDfan2007]

The thunder really do suck. I don't get this

[soxxx]

The Thunder have shown nothing so far, neither have the Spurs. If the Spurs could ever get going they could blow the roof off this game.

[PopTheGOAT]

Good D

[Spurtacular]

Thought it was gonna be a bunch of pregame sh** til the half of the hour; just barely tuning in.

[Darius McCrary]

Has there been a team in nba history be so dominant then play and choke so badly like the spurs? Happens often.

[Neurosis]

West/Diaw/Anderson.

Pop is actually senile.

[spurtech09]

Bring in Boban

[Budkin]

Signs of life...

[tholdren]

waiters looking like green...

diaw terrible

[PopTheGOAT]

Luckily the Thunder are playing horrible as well

[Spurs9]

Okc cant capitalize on this lineup

[soxxx]

LMAO these turnovers on both sides are laughable.

Pretty much my thoughts also we dodged a bullet with putrid start

[Neurosis]

Dat West/Anderson half-court trap tho.

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo

[spursistan]

Lol LMA
nigga slowly dissapearing after blowing his load in first two games..

[hater]

about time. Diaw needs to go Gordo Porcel in the motherufcker

[PopTheGOAT]

:bobo

[spurraider21]

spurs on a 6-0 run since west/diaw check in and fans are throwing a fit and telling pop to retire :lmao

[01Snake]

We're going to need the bench to come through tonight big time!

[313]

Lol Diaw West lineup somehow not getting killed. Pop going to use it even more now.

[timtonymanu]

Diaw 2.0

[100%duncan]

Thunderefs

[Horry Hipcheck]

How does this team have a lead :lol

[Neurosis]

BORIS v3.0.

[SPURt]

This crowd is pretty weak

[Budkin]

Why can't this team get up for a big game? Why??

[TDfan2007]

Defense has been solid, but offense has been trash...again

[hater]

ah shit. GOAT Adams back in. here we go another 10 pt hole :pctoss

[AusSpur]

They need his rebounding badly. And West has been trash and Diaw not much better.

Rebounding is more of a problem because they have two big guys standing in the paint, Ibaka is just sagging off Duncan.

[Robz4000]

Fucking Thunderefs

[PopTheGOAT]

Dat West/Anderson half-court trap tho.
Need to force him to pass. He's not a good passer at all

[tholdren]

wow spurs take shots in paint spurs score

[Harry Callahan]

What the fuck is going on out here. NO effort.

[313]

Has there been a team in nba history be so dominant then play and choke so badly like the spurs? Happens often.
Boils down to coaching

[Darius Bieber]

This crowd is pretty weak

San Antonians usually exert all the energy they have walking from the parking lot to the Whataburger stand and then to their seat.

[hater]

:lmao these faggots are afraid to attack the basket

[Harry Callahan]

Waiters is a POS.

[DPG21920]

Mills has to be aggressive. He's passing up good looks.

[RD2191]

Tf west

[100%duncan]

lol west

[GSH]

LMAO at the cliff-jumpers. The only difference in this game so far is the 5-0 FT advantage. Spurs grind them down by late 3rd

[sasaint]

You know what. At some point our players need to just start knocking the fuck outta OKC. If you are going to get touch fouls, might as well make them worth it tbh.

True. Good observation. That's what we did game 1, but we have been on our heels every game since.

[tholdren]

david west shooting jumpers = spurs lose

[hater]

stop shooting fucking long jumpers faggots

[01Snake]

West, for fucks sake

[Spurs9]

Our best 2 players "resting"

[Darius Bieber]

brick, brick, brick, brick, brick.

[Neurosis]

Honestly if West isn't hitting from 15-17ft he's totally pointless in the ball game.

[beirmeistr]

Why can't this team get up for a big game? Why??

no killer instinct

[Spurtacular]

Take the fucking ball to the hoop!

[Vokun]

This gotta be the same crowd that attended last year against the Clips in a closeout game. Fucking pathetic showing. Showing no effort just like the team.

[TE]

Man...

[Robz4000]

What a fucking joke

[hater]

another long jumper by Evita

:lmao these fuckers don't want none of the Worriers. Tanking this shit

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs don't have a single proven scorer on the floor right now. Jesus Christ.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Poop you senile pos

[spursistan]

Kawhi resting in pivotal game 5 while Durant cooking.. :lmao Poop :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

This fucking lineup :lmao

Pop suckers gonna spin this shit :lmao

[Knoxxx]

Burn the tape from the 1st quarter.

[Ron Swanson]

This is a fucking mess. We're lucky to be down 6.

[RD2191]

:lmao spurs

[808]

Missing good looks and okc hitting dogshit..

[spurraider21]

:lmao pump faking

[Keepin' it real]

Is that 4 in and outs in the 1st?

[bklynspursfan]

Please please please get Anderson out

[Harry Callahan]

Jesus Christ.

[SPURt]

Fuck Pop for this hideous rotation

[TDfan2007]

These guys are playing like complete morons

[100%duncan]

Holy Fuck Kyle. Please get injured man,.

[hater]

:lmao spurs :lol

[Darius McCrary]

This team is done.. wow...

[ElNono]

shoot the fucking ball fathead, holy ducks

[Darius Bieber]

Couldn't even got a shot up with 5 seconds left :lol

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness Leonard and Green are on the bench. Defensive ace Anderson taking care of things.

[ffadicted]

Shootin bricks boys, clean it up

[Kawhitstorm]

D-Worst:sleep

WTF is Patty doing passing the ball to Slow-Mo w/ a second left on the clock:downspin:

[TE]

Why doesn't this team drive to the basket? Playing hot potato and bailing the defense out by taking long two's.

[313]

Lol Diaw West lineup somehow not getting killed. Pop going to use it even more now.
Nevermind lol

[spurraider21]

another long jumper by Evita

:lmao these fuckers don't want none of the Worriers. Tanking this shit
was a 2 for 1 shot

[bklynspursfan]

another long jumper by Evita

:lmao these fuckers don't want none of the Worriers. Tanking this shit

2 for 1.

[resistanze]

:lmao Pop
:lmao that lineup
:lmao senile

[DarrinS]

Sad

[DPG21920]

West missing wide open looks. Boris missing shots within 12 feet. Durant throwing trash in. Adams throwing no looks in. Make some damn shots

[tholdren]

Popovich turned the spurs into the biggest nba pussies I have ever seen. STOP SHOOTING JUMP SHOTS WITH YOUR 4 and 5. ITS NOT WORKING.

[Mugen]

Defense is okay but rebounding will be an issue if Pop continues with the Diaw/West froncourt.

The team looks scared on offense tbh, like they don't trust that they'll get open looks.

[KDKSpurs24]

This looks so lazy..

[TheGreatYacht]

West
Diaw
Fat Head

:lmao lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo Poop

[Harry Callahan]

What the fuck is Patty Mills doing out there. Wide open shots being passed up. Take open 3s. They're there.

[TheRemix]

:depressed

[Holden_Caulfield]

west is useless

[Death In June]

Pathetic lineup, lots of mental mistakes, and playing scared at home. Fuck.

[NASpurs]

Holy crap, West should be paying the Spurs to play here. The captain has been demoted.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs heads up their lazy asses

32%

[Spur|n|Austin]

Boris needs to keep backing down whoever is on him.

DWest is Turrible away from the basket.

[spurraider21]

west/diaw not getting abused inside for once, but they're bricking WIDE open looks

[Uriel]

:td:td:td:td:td

[Neurosis]

We have a 16pt quarter which is absolutely terrible. The thing I don't understand is: how does Pop not see this coming when he puts that awful lineup out there?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

If you can't beat a flawed team like the thunder then you don't deserve to be champs .

[TE]

if Kyle Anderson gets another minute, add this to another moronic coaching move by Pop

[hater]

was a 2 for 1 shot

it's only a 2 for 1 if you make the shot.

it was a damn brick

[313]

Thank goodness Leonard and Green are on the bench. Defensive ace Anderson taking care of things.
Don't question Pop, he's the greatest coach of all time. He's obviously resting Kawhi for the next series.

[bklynspursfan]

There have been at least 4 shots go in and out. So that's good... but pop really needs to get it together with this lineup.

If Kawhi needs to rest, have Green in. No excuse to have our 2 best defenders on the freaking bench

[Kikoluna]

Why is Kyle playing

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors would be up 30 against this Spurs team by now.

[TDfan2007]

Thunder have figured us out, tbh.

[Silver&Black]

http://i.imgur.com/YRRgl8t.png

[Mal]

It`s bad

[spurtech09]

All I see is a lot of complaining......lts just a game......

[timtonymanu]

Won't even feel sad if the team is broken up. Too many shitty, regular season players.

[Vokun]

Spurs saw Curry go supernova in OT and said "NOPE". Pretty obvious tank job.

[Texas_Ranger]

Pop and this team are a fucking joke...

[Mikeanaro]

These guys have no soul, they are fucking done...totally disinterested.

[PopTheGOAT]

Not even sure what to say after that quarter. Didn't do anything right.

[BillMc]

Grrr... we've gone like 16 and 16 the last two quarters against OKC!

[Keepin' it real]

For a team with 3 hall of famers, the Spurs are surprisingly lacking leadership.

[davi78239]

I have a bad feeling about this...

[Pauleta14]

I just don't understand what I'm seeing...

WTF the line ups
WTF the lack of intensity

At that point I'd rather not see this team face the Warriors

[Spur|n|Austin]

16 points in the first quarter 2 games in a row.

Score some fucking points!!!

[GSH]

Spurs shot 7-22. They won't shoot that badly for the whole game. We've seen opponents start out shooting like shit, and when they get it rolling, everything turns around. Shots wills start falling

[tholdren]

West missing wide open looks. Boris missing shots within 12 feet. Durant throwing trash in. Adams throwing no looks in. Make some damn shots
no - drive to the bucket. If adams and Kanter are killing spurs, get them in foul trouble. Spurs shooting 12-15 footers with a 4 and a 5 is retarded. Pop is in the huddle telling west and diaw to keep shooting when he should be telling them to attack. Bring in kevin martin.

[NASpurs]

The Thunder are shit, I don't care what anyone says. The Spurs are worse though.

[spurraider21]

it's only a 2 for 1 if you make the shot.

it was a damn brick
no. its 2 shot attempts for 1 vs 1 attempt for them, whether or not you make it

[spursistan]

shoot the fucking ball fathead, holy ducks
Bro..thanks for that thread...the guy at the top simply lost the plot..he put him in that position..

[hater]

Spurs saw Curry go supernova in OT and said "NOPE". Pretty obvious tank job.

agreed. I'm actually pleased. will save me a lot of time in my life :lol

[boutons_deux]

Okc getting all loose balls.

Takin RBs from 3 or 4 spurs

Spurs don't care. No fucking fire

[timtonymanu]

If you can't beat a flawed team like the thunder then you don't deserve to be champs .

This. Fucking pathetic display of basketball. Even Kawhi and LMA disappearing again.

[bklynspursfan]

no. its 2 shot attempts for 1 vs 1 attempt for them, whether or not you make it

Exactly lol. I thought this was known

[objective]

Pop < Donovan

Pop is more finished than Duncan

[$pursDynasty]

Pop with preseason rotation. This is the playoffs we need a starter or two in the game at all times.

[hater]

no. its 2 shot attempts for 1 vs 1 attempt for them, whether or not you make it

oh really. then how about a 3 for 1.

3 bricks. or a 4 for 1 :rolleyes

it's only a 2 for 1 if you make the sshot

[spurraider21]

durant making floaters and pull-up 3's has nothing to do with west/diaw, they just need to make their wide open 12 footers

[01Snake]

That was an sorry excuse of a 1st quarter...especially for the starting unit

[Darius McCrary]

This 2016 spurs offense is proving way too easy for good teams to shut down.

I used to think the Cavaliers series would be a cake walk but they'd probably hold us to 70ppg.

[TheRemix]

All I see is a lot of complaining......lts just a game......
you're on a spurs forum, what do you expect?

[Beaverfuzz]

This. Fucking pathetic display of basketball. Even Kawhi and LMA disappearing again.

God damn stupid mother fuckers.



Shit will get cleaned up.

[Capt Bringdown]

16 point quarter is devastating. Pretty much a tell as far as our championship aspirations are concerned.
I'm not seeing a team that believes.

[DPG21920]

Kyle & Mills, if passive like this stint are unplayable. However, Pop has no choice at the moment with the starters pulling the dud they did.

Pop needs to go medieval on their assess. Unacceptable. Lack of focus. Lack of energy. Passing up shots. West is at least taking shots & so is Boris - they just aren't hitting. All the other shit, especially getting beat to every loose ball, is unacceptable.

[DMC]

This team is at a crossroads. They have the remnants of the big 3 trying to coexist with the new blood big 2 and some role guys. The remnants are contaminating the system of the big 2, or vice versa. They haven't found a way to mesh and I'm not sure it's possible. Yeah they have a ton of RS wins together but when you shut down that PnR of Tony/LMA you do serious damage to the Spurs offense. Tim and Tony are so far from where they were at their peaks that they are liabilities at their positions, yet they get big time minutes in big games because of what they did in the past.

I am not sure the Spurs have the ability, short of a shooting outburst to turn the worm, to get out of the 2nd round alive.

[bklynspursfan]

Another easy shot missed... much like game 2

[daslicer]

Spurs effort is really bad. I can accept not making shots but not trying is pathetic.

[Harry Callahan]

Two threes and zero FTs. That is a disasterous start.

The corpse of Duncan being on the bench has sucked the life out of this team.

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta finish that one :bobo

[NameLess Scrub]

They look tired and worn, and quitting like the Rockets in the first round.

Thunder toying with the Spurs, have figured them out.

Shots rimming out all the time.

Looks like a game I don't want to watch right now.

[resistanze]

Diaw is fat garbage

[EVAY]

There have been at least 4 shots go in and out. So that's good... but pop really needs to get it together with this lineup.

If Kawhi needs to rest, have Green in. No excuse to have our 2 best defenders on the freaking bench

This. Utterly incomprehensible.

[RD2191]

Lol Kawhi

[Pauleta14]

Why doesn't this team drive to the basket? Playing hot potato and bailing the defense out by taking long two's.

Because we have no ball handlers and that includes our back up PG who is a great shooter but has an worse court vision that Tony...

[Gibbz]

Turd Towers are still in the fucking game. Popovich has lost his mind.

[bklynspursfan]

Just like game 2. Just like 2012 it seems. My goodness

[Beaverfuzz]

If you're going to shoot the three, you can't have one guy taking on 3-4 getting the offensive rebound.

Thunder want this game much more.

[tholdren]

well kyle anderson is sure making the least of his minutes. I remember when ST went crazy for that "lottery pick"



LOL leonard

[01Snake]

Wow. Just wow

[Spurs9]

Trash effort

[ElNono]

we're allergic to rebounding...

[DPG21920]

What a joke. Completely out hustled.

[TE]

Fucking pathetic

[spurtech09]

Refs with there tricks

[loveforthegame]

OKC wants it more.

[Harry Callahan]

This is an abortion.

[r0drig0lac]

oh god

[timtonymanu]

Lazy fucking basketball. Wow.

[Darius Bieber]

It's been a great season

[Spurs9]

Play simmons and Boban, tired of seeing this lineup

[Capt Bringdown]

Pop with preseason rotation. This is the playoffs we need a starter or two in the game at all times.

The second year in a row that Pop has shit the bed. WTF?

[EVAY]

Durant just blew past Kawhi

[Holden_Caulfield]

woah an offensive rebound :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice, actually got an offensive board because of hustle!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard 1-4
LMA 1-5

That's not going to cut it.

[Spurs9]

Is aldridge hurt?

[spurraider21]

patty wasting all that energy and giving up a bucket anyway :lol

[EVAY]

Zero hustle from us on rebounding

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't wait for Kobe to give Kawhi some testicular fortitude.

Zero killer instinct.

[Beaverfuzz]

That should be a delay of game on Waiters.
