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

[dg7md]

Oh great now they're gonna try. Fuck this team.

:lmao

Pretty much... They'll get it down to like 6 and then Westbrook and Durant go HAM and stab us in the heart once again.

[TE]

Fucking refs can't call a fair game man. A hall of famer gets clobbered like a seal on the head and no whistle.

[Skoobz]

Fuckin assholes shit bitch faggot referees that was a foul on TD

[HI-FI]

:lol
the officiating has been just otherworldly bad, in favor of okc. Pop should've called this out early on.

[Barfunk]

Duncan clobbered with no call..... free throws 10-25 in favor for Thunder

[DPG21920]

I asked them to cut it to 15 and they did it! How about a blowjo...nevermind. Cut it to single digits!!

[spurtech09]

and 1?

[Mouth is Bleeding]

I will die laughing if we turn this around/they choke it away

then still be furious with Pop

[Arcadian]

Hey, maybe Andre Miller should have played in the first half instead of Kevin Martin. Ever think'a that Pop?

[sasaint]

Duncan hammered in his last quarter and STILL can't get a call. But Do not TOUCH Durant!

[sammy]

Old guys bringing us back! Should've been and 1 for Timmy! Fucking blind bats!

[Uriel]

Holy fuck, I’m struggling to hold back tears watching Tim and Manu battle out there. They just don’t give up.

[SAGirl]

I feel we were fucked by having a cakewalk team in the first round. We needed the Mavs to be ready for this shit.

[beirmeistr]

Miller playing pretty good for an old guy.

he's distribution

[noles1983]

lmao now they play, fuckers. all this just to get our hopes raised for that split second

[KimmyGib]

Tim with the +14

[ElNono]

:lmao Pop now plays Miller...

[313]

OLD FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT POP FINALLY PLAYS MILLER AFTER MILLS GOT FUCKED FOR 6 GAMES. FUCK YOU OLD BASTARD. FUCK YOU.

[Kool Bob Love]

40/40 club <>

[MVPCues]

They are teasing us...

[spurtech09]

Watch the refs start calling these bs calls to keep spurs from getting closer.....I can already see this coming.....Keep fighting Spurs what do you got to lose

[Mugen]

Lost in the bullshit of how the Spurs have played this series is the absolutely fuckfest by RefKC tbh. :lol

[.G.]

This is what ruins the NBAs product, blatant fucking bias. It's the casual fans that the league caters to since they're their biggest revenue draw. Fucking pathetic. But then again, that's entertainment fo yuh...

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If this is Duncan's last game he needs to call out the refs. Pathetic humans.

[Kawhitstorm]

Look like we have found our new starting point guard next season, he's 40 year old young:toast

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Props to Duncan for not,going out like a bitch.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Tim Duncan forever

[hitmanyr2k]

I will die laughing if we turn this around/they choke it away

then still be furious with Pop

Pop is throwing shit at the wall trying to see what sticks :lol If the Spurs somehow wins this game it'll be pure luck and because they're facing a team that routinely chokes.

[itsamanuthree]

Miller doing good actually...

Motherfucking refs disrespecting a legend like Tim so blatantly

[hitmanyr2k]

How do you not get that freakin rebound? cmon man.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

great contest from Timmy

but then no rebound and kd with dunk

*dies*

[noles1983]

lol rebounds

[spurtech09]

LMA fouled...and KL fouled

[RD2191]

Call a fucking foul!

[dg7md]

HOW AREN'T THERE CALLS

FUCK THE REFS

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs are just fuckin allergic to taking it strong to the rim. Fuckin ridiculous.

[Mugen]

Holy fuck the Spurs can't even get a call in a blowout.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

HOW DOES HE MISS THAT

and we can't get a fucking call

fuck these refs

[Ron Swanson]

Refs won't call shit against those bitches

[hitmanyr2k]

OKC playing prevent offense and still failing :lol

[marinoman]

How are these not fouls!

[tholdren]

Thunder won't lose KL is being worked by ROBERSON. Just like he got worked by barnes.

KL is soft. Cant play the hard working guys. Which is why he'll never be an all time great.

[spurtech09]

Danny!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

The refs didn't want to call that.

[RashoFan]

Oh my oh my oh my

[Ron Swanson]

Refs, don't act like you're actually reviewing this.

[dg7md]

I can't take this shit.

We won't win, but we make it close at the end... fuck this. Should have stayed a 28 point lead.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

That MUST be a flagrant

[tholdren]

OKC playing prevent offense and still failing :lol
why would they do this. They were ROUTING SPURS by attacking. Coaching is terrible in the nba.

[HI-FI]

That ain't going for the block Breen, you corporate hack.

[SPURt]

Gotta be flagrant

[hitmanyr2k]

The refs owe the SPurs a call.

[marinoman]

Flagrant!

[loveforthegame]

Should be a flagrant but they won't call it.

[spurtech09]

Danny green hit in the head.....

[Mugen]

How is that not a flagrant foul? :lol

[Spurtacular]

"Oh, heck no!" You're allowed to swat a guy in the fucking face.

Fuck Vangundy.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Honestly he chopped him hard

[Mouth is Bleeding]

if that's not a flagrant you can just go headhunting on everyone

come on man

[spurtech09]

The refs owe the SPurs a call.Yes sir

[loveforthegame]

Westbrook did that to Leonard last game and no call at all.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim has the highest +/- on EITHER team

[Mouth is Bleeding]

ejection

[sasaint]

JVG sez not flagrant in the PLAYOFFS!

[RD2191]

LolDG

[hitmanyr2k]

Oh FFS.

[BatManu20]

Smh Danny

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Westbrook did that to Leonard last game and no call at all.

No shit!

[r0drig0lac]

They are teasing us...

[Ron Swanson]

Danny misses a FT

[SpurPadre]

way to fuck that up, Danny

[dg7md]

:lmao at commentary

"I just changed the rules" - JVG

Explains the crooked NBA...

[spurtech09]

why is Duncan shooting

[SAGirl]

I'm seething at guys like Diaw/Mills..really let him down..got nothing out of them..
Agreed. I have to give it to ElNono and the Pop sucks crew. Adjustments could have been made earlier.

[noles1983]

lol DG misses ft

[RD2191]

Just shoot fucking 3s!!

[loveforthegame]

:(

[spurtech09]

lol bs Duncan fouled

[Mouth is Bleeding]

FFS man. LMA? Kawhi? Someone TAKE THE FUCK OVER!! Duncan is 50 years old.

[davethedope]

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Damn the look at TD`s face...He knew better

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[dg7md]

NBA IS RIGGED

[RD2191]

JUST SHOOT 3S!!!

[KDKSpurs24]

WHY IS DUNCAN TRYING TO DUNK ON SOMEBODY?! It's not gonna fucking happen...

[noles1983]

lol duncan getting rejected. hang em up tim

[Spurtacular]

I honestly didn't think Timmy's lift could decrease by that much.

[MVPCues]

That sealed it. Timmy's look after that spoke volumes...

[sasaint]

Tim thought he was 30 not 40.

[RashoFan]

I did not like seeing that look on Timmys face..that is heartbreaking.

[~O~]

Its alright Tim.

[spursistan]

Kawhi is complete beta, tbh..fuckin shoot three..what's up with this nigga..

[spurtech09]

Spurs had a chance and once again blows it.....Its like there teasing us....danny misses ft...Duncan with the missed jumper....Blocked by Ibaka

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

jesus stop zooming in the old man

[krj9999]

Yeah he was but no call.


lol bs Duncan fouled

[SAGirl]

Tim has the highest +/- on EITHER team
This has been epic. Wow. It is this kind of leadership which we will be missing.

[wildbill2u]

Hope Tim gets another shot. He deserves to go out with a made shot, not that blocked one

[noles1983]

tim like that old dog that knows its getting put down

[dg7md]

Spurs had a chance and once again blows it.....Its like there teasing us....danny misses ft...Duncan with the missed jumper....Blocked by Ibaka

Spurs always find a way to tear our hearts out. Every fucking time!

[.G.]

Absolutely no killer instinct in this team.

[hitmanyr2k]

Well this tells me Duncan is definitely not coming back next season. Going down with the ship.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

can we find some 3pt attempts??????????

[313]

West in the game. Poop surrendering

[lefty]

of course ........

[Knoxxx]

I hate these announcers.

[RD2191]

Game. Season.

[testies]

Kawhi is garbage

[tholdren]

KL with the emotional three brick.

[EVAY]

Kawhi is terribly disappointing in this game.

[BatManu20]

Timmy just too old.. Glad they at least showed some fight and didn't go quietly though.

[dg7md]

LMA not even in the game. :lol

[Brian Windhorst]

Green out West in.

This guy legit can't see it.

[spurtech09]

so much for that...meth head with a 3

[KDKSpurs24]

IDGAF how fast Westbrook is.. stop backing away from him at the 3 point line!!

[Mouth is Bleeding]

that's what Kawhi should have been doing

instead a miss

meh everything sucks

[Mugen]

Great fight by Timmy. Gotta love that.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi is garbage


Stop.

[Capster]

It's all Ginobili's fault with that GD cheesy haircut !

[lefty]

ALPHABROOK SHITING ON PORKER

[ElNono]

Green out West in.

This guy legit can't see it.

Danny needs rest

[sammy]

Another bail out call

[Mouth is Bleeding]

god I hate david west

[KDKSpurs24]

I hate when this happens. That's why I tried not to get my hopes up too much.

[marinoman]

Honorable try by TD

[Brian Windhorst]

Pop just completely lost his eye for the game. Happens to all lifers at some point tbh.

RIP

shitty stream fueling my frustration

[spurtech09]

Naw man you can say what you want to say....tonight thunder whooped the spurs...the other games the spurs got screwed by the refs....plain and simple

[Skoobz]

Did that pussy LMA pack up his shit and go home?

[hitmanyr2k]

Well OKC vs GS is going to be very entertaining lol.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

wonder what's going on with Tony

not that I mind him getting parked since he completely failed at offense.

[daslicer]

god I hate david west

This I will never forgive him for that dumb foul he committed on Kanter in game 5 that resulted in a huge 5 point swing.

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy and Manu out there until the end.

[marinoman]

Well at least I don't live in OKLAHOMA, so I feel like a winner

[Spurtacular]

If it wasn't for all the krew; I'd make a thread about Parker being the problem. Dude's too soft. Look at how we do with him out. The ball moves; guys get the ball in their spots. No midget playing defense.

[tholdren]

wonder what's going on with Tony

not that I mind him getting parked since he completely failed at offense.
Fake injury

[Skoobz]

Man heartbroken for TD

[Godbama]

What a pathetic postseason

[Cherry]

:hang

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Timmy ain't retiring

not feeling it

[Texas_Ranger]

If LMA stayed in Portland he would go fishing at the same time. Thats just sad...

[davethedope]

now the whistles come fast and easy and breezy

[dg7md]

If you told me a week ago that Andre Miller would get playtime in the clutch of an elimination game at OKC I'd call you fucking crazy.

Even crazier that he was arguably the surge we needed...

Fuck this team.

[sammy]

BS calls against us every time we made a run! Rigged!

[Mouth is Bleeding]

I don't think retirement has even crossed his mind yet

he'll start thinking about it in the weeks ahead

[marinoman]

Well OKC vs GS is going to be very entertaining lol.
I hope the zika virus wins

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao what a pathetic team. Spurs are the laughing stock of the league.

[hitmanyr2k]

Timmy ain't retiring

not feeling it

He's going down with the ship like a true captain. He's done.

[RashoFan]

Damn damn damn

[Mugen]

Love ya, Manu.

[tholdren]

pop can eat a dick.

[SAGirl]

Diaw didn't play at all.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

not sure about that handshake :depressed

[BatManu20]

Lmao what a pathetic team. Spurs are the laughing stock of the league.

and yet here you are, still watching them.

[Skoobz]

I am disgusted in some of these players effort. Absolutely fuckin disgusting.

[SPURt]

I don't think it's coincidence Tim, West, Miller, and Manu to finish

[KimmyGib]

Manu gets the "hit the road jack" song for his final exit.

[Skoobz]

LMA, KL, THE FRENCHIES, PATTY......MORE IS EXPECTED OF YOU. YOU SHOULD HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME

[kuato]

not sure about that handshake :depressed

Manu is retiring dude, he is thinking in the Argentina NT now

[hitmanyr2k]

Adams should be able to beast against GS. Especially if Bogut doesn't heal up.

[sammy]

Andre Miller should've played instead of Parker! Played well & part of the come back even though refs kept screwing us by giving those assholes free throws to keep us from getting catching up! What a travesty!

[tmtcsc]

LOL, Pop sucking KD's dick at the end there.

[Russ]

Moral victory -- the Spurs won the final series score by 3 points. :)

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Its done....

[TE]

Those feels man

[marinoman]

Timmy smiling is watering my eyes

[SAGirl]

TIMMY. :depressed

[Texas_Ranger]

Thanx Tim.... All the other losers go to the gym or retire.

[daslicer]

I'm glad Duncan had a good game.

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy's done and everyone on that court knew it.

[Spurtacular]

David West barely played and he had a minus 15.

[$pursDynasty]

Goodbye sports until we get closer to NFL training camp.

[Mugen]

Man, love you TD. Great fight at the end. Still putting up 19pts against one of the best frontcourts in the league on one knee and at 40 years old.

Mad respect to the Big Fundamental and the Greatest Power Forward of all time :toast

[tholdren]

Hugs and handshakes, fucking gross. GTFO. Come out and play like pussies, then hugging after the game. Why Spurs lose right there. Not saying to be dirty, not saying to bitch and moan and cry, but you have to have an edge. Spurs don't have an edge.

[sasaint]

Timmy and Manu out there until the end.

Idiot broadcasters suggesting that Pop pull Tim for an ovation as it the game was in San Amtonio!

[marinoman]

Rooting for the east now tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

Well at least I don't live in OKLAHOMA, so I feel like a winner

that's an oxymoron

[703 Spurz]

Hugs and handshakes, fucking gross. GTFO. Come out and play like pussies, then hugging after the game. Why Spurs lose right there. Not saying to be dirty, not saying to bitch and moan and cry, but you have to have an edge. Spurs don't have an edge.

This is sports, not gladiator bullshit.

[sasaint]

Rooting for the east now tbh

Nope. Rooting for the team that beat my team.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Literally teared up when Manu fouled out and went to the bench

[Spurtacular]

Goodbye sports until we get closer to NFL training camp.

Curry, LBJ or Westbrick will ring. That's a shit fucking sandwich. I don't see much reason to stay glued to the tele. This is good news for the league though. They're gonna get their ratings.

[ElNono]

Agreed. I have to give it to ElNono and the Pop sucks crew. Adjustments could have been made earlier.

yup, and you could tell from a mile away he'll panic when it's too late... turns out Miller could play...

[DPG21920]

Welp, sorry I let you guys down. Still in shock SA lost this series. It was very winnable. Even with playing bad, let alone if they played well.

[Ron Swanson]

Pop already shitting on reporters asking about Timmy retiring. :lol

[ElNono]

C'est la vie... thanks everybody for the game threads this season, tbh... we'll see you all in late October...

That's a wrap!

[Darius Bieber]

If only we had Jimmer...

Its been a pleasure seeing your posts. Sorry you have to leave Spurstalk now.

[CP48107]

Timmy smiling is watering my eyes+1

19 years man, Timmy gave me a great memory.

[Capster]

Hugs and handshakes, fucking gross. GTFO. Come out and play like pussies, then hugging after the game. Why Spurs lose right there. Not saying to be dirty, not saying to bitch and moan and cry, but you have to have an edge. Spurs don't have an edge.
You are a real butthole!

[Texas_Ranger]

Well its time for a 6 month break...

[Budkin]

LOL, Pop sucking KD's dick at the end there.

Yeah because he knows what's up this summer.

[Borosai]

Not surprised this team rolled over when down. Nothing new, just another disappointing year.

[kobyz]

Can't be more heartbreaking and demeaning season for me than this, to be great in regular season and then losing like this in playoff make me behind sad and depress... And why Tim had to make that mistake not to retire last year??? I thought he was smarter than this...

[KDKSpurs24]

Durant trying to play good guy. "Opportunity to match up against Kawhi Leonard for 6 games". He usually sits there and constantly talks about how there are no 1 on 1 match ups. And also they didn't even match up for the majority of the series. I've never really liked him because he's so fake. Just my opinion.

[Budkin]

The feels have hit me hard

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn. I didn't know Pop was 2-11 when facing elimination on the road. The Spurs need a Wartime Consigliere in moments like these. Pop is basically Tom Hagen.

[spurs10]

Refs were a big reason for the turn out of this series. You'd think out of embarrassment they'd call obvious fouls on the Hall of Fame great Tim Duncan. At least I won't spend all summer waiting for basketball to start. We had a great year until the playoffs.

[still.focused]

I have criticized Kawhi the last few years for not being consistent on the offensive end and said that he was not a natural offensive scorer which this series proves. Like you said an elite offensive player will always be greater than elite defensive player. That's how this league work. Duncan was special because he was elite on both ends of the floor. I don't think Kawhi has the ability to be an elite offensive player simply due to having average ball handling skills at best.

I agree with all this
But Id add I wouldnt be surprise if he came back next year MUCH improved handling the ball

[marinoman]

Me so sad, me want to cry

[DarrinS]

Me so sad, me want to cry

Cookie Monster?

[BillMc]

Here's to Timmy and Manu whatever they decide!:toast

See ya all on Spurs Real Gm. :lol

[tmtcsc]

Yeah because he knows what's up this summer.

Exactly.

[RD2191]

Thanks for everything Timmy and Manu.

[kaji157]

is there a live postgame feed to see the presser?

Nah, me English goes to hell when me sad

See ya all on Spurs Real Gm. :lol

Bruh, I said I'd stop posting if the Dubs made it past the 2nd round last season and they won the title. Lol

[marinoman]

is there a live postgame feed to see the presser?
Try nbatv pop just talked
edit- my bad didn't read the feed part

[SAGirl]

Nope. Rooting for the team that beat my team.
I hope it's OKC' s year TBH. To be fair to them injuries to key guys has
Verobbed them of chances other years and this series has given them experience. They have a lot of younger guys when Durant and Russ are their veterans. Rooting for them.

[Arcadian]

The '16 Spurs were a historically great defensive team, but horrifically atrocious on offense. Interesting season.

[DarrinS]

Got beat 4 of 5. Tip your hat, but OKC fans in for a big letdown.

[ElNono]

Props to my boys BillMc and BatManu20, holding the line all season long...

[DarrinS]

Still like them better than the dubs. They are overdue. Who knows.


Overdue? They've only existed since 2007

Don't give a fuck about what you think - you think anderson should get meaningful minutes in big games - dumb

[SAGirl]

yup, and you could tell from a mile away he'll panic when it's too late... turns out Miller could play...
I was hit with melancholy seeing all the veterans there playing ... (with Kyle :lol). Let's cue in all the shenanigans bc we have to make fun of someone. The vets retirement game (maybe, not sure yet but melancholic) I mean the geriatric crew and balding baby (wasnt he called that his rookie season b4 fathead was coined by Kawhitrorm?) Fathead, you need to grow a pair. Let's get you freaking schooled.

Bah I can't make fun of it. It's still too sad.

[kobyz]

Most ugly, sad and humiliating season that could have been, i preferred even not to make the playoff instead of this, at least would not have the dissepointment and humiliating of a great regular season discover as a pretender and losing once again in falling under the pressure fashion... We are a cursed team no doubt for years now and it's only getting worse!

[RD2191]

I tried the Spurs forum on realgm, that place is a graveyard, like 3 Spurs fans

cry havoc gay right there

[SAGirl]

Overdue? They've only existed since 2007
Perspective teams break up too soon to compete legitly. Durant maybe about to leave that team. I'd rather he stays there. Variety is the spice of life and all that. + That's longer than I have been following the Spurs.

[cjw]

Outshot 31-16 at the line and outrebounded by 10. The refs let them play and Spurs can't match that physicality.

Now OKC will get to deal with all of Draymond's moving screens.

[DarrinS]

Wow, you didn't start watching until Spurs had their 4th?

Better late than never, I suppose.

[ceperez]

They are built to beat the Dubs with big ball. I think they will.

Spurs had a real problem with their size. Could not really match up considering Duncan never got back to form.

You can see that almost all Spurs shots were contested while a lot of OKC shots really were open.

Pop gambled on an old style ISO basketball and lost that gamble badly.

I had hope all season that Spurs developed athletic wings like Simmons.... unfortunately that wasn't in the cards.

Besides, this isn't the first time the Spurs lost 3 consecutive games to be eliminated by the Thunder. Spurs 2011 lost 4 straight against Thunder after winning first two games. That was the first year of Diaw on the team.

[SAGirl]

Wow, you didn't start watching until Spurs had their 4th?

Better late than never, I suppose.
Yes I really didn't watch sports at all previously. I Started following them just in 2013 believe it or not with the finals appearance. Mainstream casual fan I guess turned devotee.

Don't know what Pop was thinking. Leonard should have played almost the entire game. Why did he have Anderson out there so long? And no Diaw - Diaw is a much better player than Anderson. And Pop had LMA on the bench for so long after such a good start. It's almost that he WANTED to lose.

And playing Boban (a rookie) to further clutter the paint instead of going small in the first half and chucking 3s. Probably the worst game I've ever seen him coach.

Hats off to OKC. They really WANTED it. They went after all the loose balls while the Spurs looked at each other. Too long and athletic for the Spurs. Time to cheer for OKC now.

Rough post-op?

Oh, well...Warriors will dominate anyway...

Let's be honest, Spurs didn't make the shots that they needed to make to win.

The offense is just not there and the defense isn't as stringent as it should be given there are too many weak links.

Parker isn't that good anymore and unfortunately he's the only Spur who can make his own shot. Leonard isn't dominating enough on offense. LMA showed in the first 2 games that he could score, but didn't show enough after.

In summary, Spurs could not take it to the next level.

Most ugly, sad and humiliating season that could have been, i preferred even not to make the playoff instead of this, at least would not have the dissepointment and humiliating of a great regular season discover as a pretender and losing once again in falling under the pressure fashion... We are a cursed team no doubt for years now and it's only getting worse!

Then don't watch and stay off spurstalk - lowlife troll.
