Game Thread: Spurs v Thunder -- Game 6 -- Thu (5/12) -- 7:30 CST (3:30AM Riga)

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The bench has been quite pathetic most of this series

[Robz4000]

:lmao Poop

[EVAY]

No baskets after Tim and Parker sat down.

[01Snake]

Pop is a fucking idiot

[dg7md]

Spurs can't do shit to close out quarters. As per par. It's why we will lose this series in a nutshell.

[AZK619]

Spurs getting bitch slapped :bang

[Uriel]

:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

[itzsoweezee]

Fire this senile motherfucker

[ducks]

Our bench sucks

[BatManu20]

I'm not even gonna blame Anderson. This is on Pop. Horrible lineup and he just sticks with it. Unreal.

[doobs]

Sure feels like Pop gave up.

[tholdren]

Kevin Martin is the adjustment? Weird
Not weird that he was the "adjustment" but odd he came in for patty and not Kyle Dumbfuck anderson

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge plays the whole first but Kawhi doesnt. Wtf man. Idk about who okc has in, we need our best guys out there

[loveforthegame]

Pop doesn't care. :td

[testies]

fuck you pop....

[lefty]

I miss Brent and Horry

Seriously I do

[DarrinS]

Ugh, bench

[Brian Windhorst]

West shouldn't get another minute.

Anderson shouldn't get another minute.

They'll both play in the second half.

Pop threw this game.

[NASpurs]

Pop already has plans in the Napa Valley after the game.

[$pursDynasty]

Every damn loss can be traced back to a shitty Spurs lineup leading to an extended Thunderefs run

[Vokun]

Pop getting outcoached by Doc Rivers and a rookie head coach in consecutive years :lmao

Overrated as fuck.

[TheGreatYacht]

Give us Flip Saunders back god I beg you, take Gregg Popovich

[Knoxxx]

Well that wasn't the right bench combo!

[MVPCues]

Kyle was open at the basket and passed. Then he was wide open with enough time to get out a measuring tape and couldn't get it past the front edge. Sigh.

[MI21]

Green, Leonard and Duncan all out while Kanter and Durant are on the floor, :lol Pop

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi and Danny on the bench. No plays running for Aldridge. No point guard. Fucking unbearable to watch.

[Nathan89]

This bench fucking sucks.

[SPURt]

I can't believe the bench couldn't score a single damn point! Fuck! Wide open misses from Kyle, LMA, and Martin.

[FkLA]

WTF is Pop saving the starters for? Play them all fucking game. If they die they die.

[MultiTroll]

fuck you pop.

[GSH]

LMAO. 19-13 lead with 4 minutes left. 25-19 deficit at the end of the quarter. Brilliant!

[keeferob25]

Fuck whoever defended that piece of shit Poop in the "he's done" thread. This bitch should retire during the quarter change.

[Kikoluna]

Why pop!!!!! Why kyle!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Pop retires too.

[polandprzem]

there goes the game

[EVAY]

I don't think I have enough wine in the house.....and I have a wine cellar.

[Budkin]

Fucking Poop and that lineup.

[Ron Swanson]

Well, at least the regular season and first round were good. Offseason is about to start in a couple of hours.

[Mugen]

If Pop throws out a Fathead/DIaw/West lineup, can every single Pop apologist on the board please admit he's coached a terrible series? :lol

[Silver&Black]

Trail by 6...25-19.

http://i.imgur.com/uO4ewuQ.png

[bklynspursfan]

I'm not even gonna blame Anderson. This is on Pop. Horrible lineup and he just sticks with it. Unreal.

It's so bad. U figure it's elimination, you'll shorten the rotation even more. Go all out. Yet he's got guys out there who have no business being on the court.

Like, it's win or go home. Not the stupid slogan they play all playoffs, but literally tonight. He's disappointed me so much

[ElNono]

:pop: "Kawhi needs the rest, next game is in November!"

[Slippy]

Between the legs pass on an elimination game from a vet. Think manu is ready for some fishing. Wow

[spurtech09]

Pop what are you thinking?

[Raven]

what an awful bench rotation...

[itzsoweezee]

Popovich had five games to figure out he needs to match OKC's rotations. What a fucking imbicile

[$pursDynasty]

Pop will call a timeout after one missed assignment but just let the Thunderefs go on a 12-0 run? WTF?

[.G.]

#1 Defense shitting the bed

[Mugen]

Only Pop would rest guys for the offseason tbh

[Nathan89]

Kyle Anderson hype:lmao

[TDfan2007]

Well at least it started okay...our bench looks D league caliber

[dg7md]

Just give it to LMA every time. It's our only hope.

[cascaders]

Can someone explain why the hell did pop took out the starters?? Is it just me or we were winning with our starting 5? We were building up a lead, and he just switched up everything. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OFF BUILDING UP A LEAD IF HE IS JUST GOING TO THREW IT BACK OUT?????
WHY THE HELL DID HE SWITCH LINE UP??
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN? OMG

[bklynspursfan]

If Pop throws out a Fathead/DIaw/West lineup, can every single Pop apologist on the board please admit he's coached a terrible series? :lol

Series idk. Despite the other stuff our starters haven't been good either.
But tonight is inexcusable. It's an elimination game

[urunobili]

Lol Martin tried and not Boban

[TE]

Pop is drunk

[baseline bum]

Man I love Pop for putting in an amazing system, for player development, and for building relationships with his guys to keep them in San Antonio and keep them playing hard. There has never been anyone better in the business than Pop at these critical skills necessary for having a winner. But man Pop really has trouble making adjustments in a series so much of the time. I don't know how the man who figured out Miami and put in a new gameplan specifically for them can't figure these Thunder with much better offensive options this year and better defense than he has had since the mid 2000s. This Thunder team hasn't been able to guard anyone this year and now they're shutting the Spurs down.

:pctoss

[Mal]

West with stellar -12, same goes for Manu

[dg7md]

:lmao Pop

[lefty]

:lmao Pop

[SPURt]

Hahaha!! Pop

[MultiTroll]

Fuck whoever defended that piece of shit Poop in the "he's done" thread. This bitch should retire during the quarter change.
I was dreaming of a mutiny by the players led by Duncan.
Putting Boban in, etc and ignoring Pop as he was led away from the bench by security.

Spurs 120 OKC 99

[BillMc]

LMA and re-signing Danny and Kawhi cost us our bench. Patty and Boris regressing and Manu aging didn't help. Good coaching and discipline covered it in the regular season but exposed in the playoffs.

RC needs to retool the bench and we'll be better next year.

[Robz4000]

Fuck Poop

[Horry Hipcheck]

"AS SOON AS WE SUBSTITUTED IT WENT TO CRAP."

THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SUBSTITUTIONS.

[spurtech09]

Pop needs a better game plan.

[Brian Windhorst]

"As soon as we substituted it went to crap"
West still in the game.

[wut]

lmao Pop... play our guys the whole game then... it's not like they're going to play another game.

[RD2191]

Series over.

[EVAY]

Damn, West!!!

[soxxx]

West has been a disaster

[tholdren]

GET WEST THE FUCK OUT OF THE NBA

[ElNono]

lol West worse than fucking T-Mac.... it's like bad Finley

[Vokun]

West providing his usual shit per par

[$pursDynasty]

No KL or LMA, wth?

[01Snake]

D-West is killing us

[Silver&Black]

"As soon as we substituted....it went to crap"

-poop

Yet I'll still keep K-Mart and West in there. Fucking senile old bastard.

[spurtech09]

Tough to watch....

[TE]

Man I love Pop for putting in an amazing system, for player development, and for building relationships with his guys to keep them in San Antonio and keep them playing hard.

Having a prime Duncan along with a younger Manu and TP helps

[Horry Hipcheck]

Already melting down. This game is already over. Wow.

[DAF86]

I had faith, but Pop is lost. Shit is over.

[bklynspursfan]

Holy crap...pop man wtf

[Mugen]

No Kawhi/LMA on the floor

[baseline bum]

"AS SOON AS WE SUBSTITUTED IT WENT TO CRAP."

THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SUBSTITUTIONS.

LOL no shit

[Silver&Black]

Stuck on 19, tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

Looking very much like it's over.

[SpurPadre]

Some fucking heart, please

[TE]

This really sucks man. Thankfully I coached myself up to withstand this.

[spurtech09]

:(

[beirmeistr]

this is just do difficult to watch

[soxxx]

Oh lord west, misses the open shot, had green wide open.

[tholdren]

GET DAVID WEST OUT OF THE NBA.

WHAT
THE
HELL

[RD2191]

This is pathetic

[bklynspursfan]

Almost ready to turn this off. We haven't scored in forever man wtf

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

There is zero reason for West to be on the floor

[DAF86]

Why does West deserve the benefit of the doubt over Boris?

[Canyonero]

:lol fuck you West

[baseline bum]

Having a prime Duncan along with a younger Manu and TP helps

He had none of those in 2014

[Mal]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

[Mugen]

Pop apologists, please defend this

[dg7md]

David West is cancer. Get him out of there.

[SPURt]

Way missed Green wide freaking open

[MVPCues]

Boban!

[Brian Windhorst]

West hasn't made a single positive play since he's entered the game. 6 minutes in an elimination game.

[TE]

Lol Kawhi on the bench

[r0drig0lac]

bad bad...

[Horry Hipcheck]

No Leonard, no Aldridge. Trying to run plays through zero-legged Duncan.

[wut]

Boban!

[lefty]

Bobaaaaan

[EVAY]

Boban!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Pop getting called out

[davemaniscool]

this is like watching a train wreck

[Kawhitstorm]

Poop acknowledges he's playing a shitty lineup but does NOTHING, WTF?!!?"

[KL2]

This is too funny :lol

[dg7md]

BOBAN SIGHTING. WE GET A FUCKING REBOUND WHEN HE'S IN.

[soxxx]

Finally Boban

[tholdren]

YES!!!!!!!!!

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT. AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND WHEN BOBAN IS IN.

I should be the coach.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Boban in at last and OH LOOK, AN IMMEDIATE OFFENSIVE REBOUND.

[TDfan2007]

Boban sighting!

[baseline bum]

Pop's gotta get over this allegiance to West. I know David took an enormous paycut, but when he's not getting it done he can't be on the floor.

[SPURt]

Fuck yeah Boban!

[ElNono]

:lmao:lmao:lmao Damn I'm so good... I told you he was going to panic with Boban :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Hope Patty and West are both gone next year.

[spurtech09]

How many times did Tim get fouled ?

[ace3g]

Well Boban, please make an impact early

[Knoxxx]

boban!

[lefty]

Man Pop's brain has mexican internet

[SAGirl]

Boban!!!!

[Brian Windhorst]

Thank fuckin jesus.

8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than West.
8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst. 8 seconds in and Boban is infinitely more positive than Wst.

[urunobili]

Get West out of the fucking floor. Fucking try Boban

[Kikoluna]

About fucking time. Boban

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi better come in now. Westbrook is

[ElNono]

:lmao:lmao:lmao Pop is so predictable

[Mal]

Guess who push Anus Cancer to fight on the board

[davemaniscool]

LMA and KL need to play the rest of the game. What are they resting for?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Now just put fucking Kawhi back in.

[davidbowie]

BOBAN SIT ON SOMEONE

[Canyonero]

Blockban

[Slippy]

Glad to boban out there. Nice tip already but wheres ky

[tholdren]

BOBAN WITH A DEFENSIVE STOP AND A SCORE...


WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

[mexicanjunior]

A little late for Boban now...

[lefty]

Bobano

[Silver&Black]

Boban...

My nigga.

[resistanze]

Pop adjusting in game 6...:lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT WHY DID WE WAIT UNTIL AN ELIMINATION GAME TO GIVE BOBAN A SHOT

[baseline bum]

Boban already playing better than West has at any point of this series

[ace3g]

Boban again!!!

[.G.]

Bobinator with the immediate impact on fucking boards.

P:lolp

[spurtech09]

Boban

[Vokun]

It too Pop THIS FUCKING LONG to play Boban. Don't bother now, series already over

[ElNono]

:lmao so Boban not good enough to play in the series, but good enough to play in an elimination game

[SAGirl]

:lmao:lmao:lmao Damn I'm so good... I told you he was going to panic with Boban :lmao
But it's not too late though. :tu

[AZK619]

Save us Boban:worthy:

[lefty]

Zod is killing us

[Spurtacular]

So, the ref with no view of the play calls the out of bounds instead of the one that does; so sick of the fucking cheating.

[MVPCues]

Come on Boban, put two hands on those balls.

[Skoobz]

Fucking boban needs to flatten Adams and kanter haaaard

[RD2191]

This is some lame shit

[spurtech09]

lol Duncan gets fouled no call but Durant gets the call.

[davidbowie]

why wait til now for boban to enter it just pisses me off lol

[SAGirl]

But it's not too late though. :tu
At least I hope...

[DAF86]

Get Aldridge for Duncan now.

[Dex]

Why don't these motherfuckers GRAB a rebound?

They just play fucking pattycake with it until it falls into the Thunder's hands.

[Mugen]

:lmao shades of the 2011 Memphis series with Tiago.....

Oh Pop, never change......

[EVAY]

WEll at least they look competitive with Boban out there...better than West anyway.

[Vokun]

I guess Pop trying to limit Kawhi's and LMA's minutes so they can be fresh by training camp

[313]

Pop adjusting in game 6...:lol
:lmao and not right away. Had to be sure his original linne up was still shit

[Horse]

We got to get hot not a chance in hell these crooked cocksucker refs let us win a close one.

[gambit1990]

:lmao shades of the 2011 Memphis series with Tiago.....

Oh Pop, never change......
was about to say.

[SPURt]

Boban makes the game so different. They aren't driving when he's in the lane.

[Uriel]

If Boban had been inserted earlier.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy hit, no call. KD hit, call

[bklynspursfan]

After our quick start after pops first time out, I was encouraged. Now it is just cringe worthy

[Brian Windhorst]

Elimination game down by 8 due to shitty lineups.

"Pop doesn't hesitate to make an adjustment"

Give me a fuckin break

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Spurs look like they getting hacked

[DPG21920]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

[Horry Hipcheck]

This lineup shows the most promise so far tonight. Boban for 30+ minutes please.

[BillMc]

Boban maybe he can't defend, but he's better than West or Boris these days.

[resistanze]

:lmao so Boban not good enough to play in the series, but good enough to play in an elimination game

Arsene Popovich

[313]

I guess Pop trying to limit Kawhi's and LMA's minutes so they can be fresh by training camp
:lmao gotta keep em fresh

[tholdren]

If Boban had been inserted earlier in the series spurs would have won, fuck david west.

[Knoxxx]

The main 3 bigs should be boban Duncan Aldridge due to okc size. Our normal preferred bugs lack the size against okc front line Ibaka Adams Kanter

[Capt Bringdown]

:lmao and not right away. Had to be sure his original linne up was still shit

Had to make sure the home crowd was fired up in an elimination game, as well.

[Ron Swanson]

Spurs get the shit beat out of them and no call.

Someone breathes on OKC and it's a flagrant.

[Nathan89]

lol Duncan gets fouled no call but Durant gets the call.

Seems like the refs just don't call that foul against Duncan ever. I guess cause the drive is slow and grotesque. Should be a foul though.

[resistanze]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

This, this, this.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi playing like a straight hoe, TAKE OVER!!!

Too fucking late from predictable Poop, per par :lmao fucking pussy

[Mugen]

Should be double digits by halftime.

Thunder getting the calls, nobody on the bench stepping up, Porky non-existent, etc....

I thought the team would have some fight in them but Pop made sure to make that irrelevant :lol

[spurtech09]

Timmy hit, no call. KD hit, callTruth

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi-Aldridge-Boban-Danny-Parker. Do it.

[NASpurs]

Poop is like one of those people who laugh last at a joke because they're slow on the uptake.

[Robz4000]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

This has been Pop his entire career, but generally his rotations aren't so shitty.

[TE]

Just keep fighting. I know you're down baskets. Veterans galore...withstand the storm, bucket by bucket. Defensive stops.

[BillMc]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

Truth.

But the bench was so awful to end the first, I think Pop finally saw the light. Too bad it took so long.

[MVPCues]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

Yeah. Passive aggressive much?

[SAGirl]

why wait til now for boban to enter it just pisses me off lol
Loyal to D west. Shout out to those who were saying him taking that discount to come here was the kiss of death... and Diaw an NBA champion, who would have thought he'd be this poor in the series.

Bench had issues from the beginning and specially the big situation was known from the RS.... I had to give it yo Pop critics on his stubbornness.

[Uriel]

730926303046574082

[313]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.
He's not a bad coach but his flaws are so crippling, it definitely seems like it sometimes.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what happened to Boris?

[Namundy]

Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

Pretty much.

[tholdren]

KL too stupid, LMA too stupid, Parker too stupid.

[BillMc]

Just keep fighting. I know you're down baskets. Veterans galore...withstand the storm, bucket by bucket. Defensive stops.
:bobo

[Slippy]

Pop's gotta get over this allegiance to West. I know David took an enormous paycut, but when he's not getting it done he can't be on the floor.

Thinking it more to do wit the level of trust he has on boban. As in minimizing mistakes

[spurtech09]

Just sad that the refs have to help OKC.

[lefty]

Pop should feature in the net Verizon commercial tbh

"Sir, we've noticed that your mexican Internet is slowing your serbian brain"

[sasaint]

Pop is in full on panic mode. I guess he's thinking the only time he has to experiment is this first half. Find out if something works for 2nd half. Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

Yep. On the verge of elimination, let's try something different! SMH!

[Capt Bringdown]

Scary the level of tinkering here in the first half after 0 adjustments in 5 games.

Yup. Who knows what he's going to to do.
You can't tell me his inept coaching hasn't impacted team morale, and therefore team performance.

[Dex]

What the fuck is Pop saving Aldridge for?

[TE]

The Thunder are playing great defensively. Credit to them.

[spurtech09]

Spurs fading fast

[RD2191]

Lol. This is sad.

[tholdren]

danny green won't hit in a big game. its not in his dan

[Horry Hipcheck]

Adams isn't scared of Boban.

[tholdren]

KL gave up a second chance three.... too stupid

[spurtech09]

:(.....over already

[MVPCues]

Somebody...or two people... are just going to have to get hot. Simple as that.

[313]

No reason for Kawhi and LMA not to play 45 min

[Silver&Black]

Can we add Waiters to the Spurs Killer list?

[TE]

Waiters has played so well

[InRareForm]

These OKC scrubs are going to miss when they play warriors watch

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kawhi's three has completely disappeared.

[RD2191]

Kawhi:lmao

[tholdren]

KL chucking threes.... too stupid.

[Dex]

GRAB A FUCKING LOOSE BALL FOR FUCKS SAKE!

[timtonymanu]

Shitty game all around for the Spurs

[TE]

Please put LMA back in

[spurtech09]

Missing shots.....Refs sucking ass

[Horry Hipcheck]

These OKC scrubs are going to miss when they play warriors watch

Of course. OKC will look like a JV squad against Curry & co.

[DAF86]

Duncan can't even make layups.

[SPURt]

This is bad

[ElNono]

we be folding.... OP is good people, has nothing to do with him, tbh

[tholdren]

Kawhi's three has completely disappeared.
no - he's just a dumb-ass, with zero feel for the game offensively.

[lefty]

Can we add Waiters to the Spurs Killer list?

Man that list is as big as Pop's butthole

[bklynspursfan]

Its been fun guys. Game 1 seems like years ago

[Robz4000]

Team has quit.

[soxxx]

Our shooting is just so cold, its like when we have an open shot, you know its not going in.

[Vokun]

SO I guess Anus Cancer and Adams can go over the back all series but we can't. Sounds reasonable

[Silver&Black]

Curious to go back and see the offensive rebound numbers....

[Raven]

what a weakass effort.

[Spurtacular]

Refs smelling blood in the water.

[Knoxxx]

Okc turn to blow a double digit lead.

[Uriel]

It's really looking like this series ends tonight.

[Splits]

This has blowout written all over it

[Mugen]

Such a disappointing effort by the Spurs tonight.

A really chickenshit performance from everybody not named Timmy/Lamarcus so far. Oh well.

[Mal]

what ?

[Dex]

Spurs looking pretty fucked right now, tbh.

The bench has gone completely AWOL, and Pop is still limiting minutes like its fucking January.

[RD2191]

This is uglier than thegreatyachts mother.

[Slippy]

Don't go away from driving to the basket.

Tim has to finish that lay in

[TheGreatYacht]

Overplaying Duncan when he's clearly tired :lmao

Taking Boban out :lmao

Kawhobe showing :lmao

[BatManu20]

OKC just looks more dialed in than us. Their scrubs are making shots while ours are being huge net negatives.
