GT: Spurs @ OKC (7:00 PM CT/3:00 AM Riga/ESPN) sponsored by Andre Roberson's will

[SAGirl]

I'd definitely take Manu back next year provided Tony is gone and the Spurs have a new lead guard.
more likely:
this is Manu's swang song and Tony is the bench dude next year... Spurs start someone else. Dijon makes that leap or they sign someone.

[Russ]

The thing you guys should be worrying about is the Spurs maybe getting back into this game . . .

[Ron Swanson]

Det pass by Manu

[Robz4000]

Tony sits, team makes a run.

[TE]

Never saw the Warriors play this poorly.
They actually did. Then Curry/Thompson and be rest of that cast started playing the way they did last year.

[Darius Bieber]

How can Pop, as a tenured head coach, not realize how much less trash this team is when Parker sits?

[Robz4000]

more likely:
this is Manu's swang song and Tony is the bench dude next year... Spurs start someone else. Dijon makes that leap or they sign someone.

Unfortunately. I can't picture Parker doing anything but dragging this team down in that situation. Best thing he could do is retire.

[Uriel]

The sleeping giant has awoken.

[gambit1990]

someone should put superglue on tony's seat before he sits back down.

[Robz4000]

When Manu plays well it's a joy to watch.

[HI-FI]

:pop: "Parker get back out there, give the System a teaching moment."

[bklynspursfan]

When Manu plays well it's a joy to watch.

Guy is amazing. Great block too. Idk if he's retiring honestly.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi three...wow it's a miracle

[SAGirl]

Unfortunately. I can't picture Parker doing anything but dragging this team down in that situation. Best thing he could do is retire.
I
agree... he doesn't even fit in with the bench guys... but since they are all so cheap and some of their contracts are up this season they can remake the bench for him.
It would not be worth it probably but it's perfectly doable... save Gasol and Manu all of them are in cheap contracts and some are expiring.

[PopTheGOAT]

There's that 3 Kawhi!

[sasaint]

It will never happen, but tony should be cut and his contract stretched out. Is it an ootion per cba?

In less than a week I have changed my mind. Id even be ok with bringing in derrick rose.

Not so sure after this season. I think the folly of PATFO's loyalty may even be apparent to PATFO after this season.

I agree. After this week, PATFO should recruit Rose despite his baggage and physical question marks.

[Ron Swanson]

MVPatty!

[rastaspur]

more likely:
this is Manu's swang song and Tony is the bench dude next year... Spurs start someone else. Dijon makes that leap or they sign someone.

What you say is the reality of how it most likely play out. The pg position needs more reinforcement though. I want to see a legit starter brought in who can get into the lane consistently and plays halfway decent defense. Dejounte needs to be coming off the bench next year.

Bring in a 1 or 2 year rental. D rose could stand to gain alot if he came in on a cheap 1 year deal if he can make an impact

[bklynspursfan]

Patty!!

[FkLA]

Terrible shot selection, Kawhi.

[sasaint]

MVPatty!

Patty! (Your feed is about a minute ahead of mine.)

[SAGirl]

Just when you think Mills is not going to get paid the big bucks, he tells you: yes I am!
:flag:

[gambit1990]

this fucking game :lol

[RD2191]

Why aren't any of you faggots calling out out highest paid player? 6 points. :lol

[james evans]

Do you guys see how we play when we have a set rotation on the floor and lineups aren't being fucked with constatnly just so a coach can "show how great he manages the team?". Also, parker was on the bench..

[Darius Bieber]

Why aren't any of you faggots calling out out highest paid player? 6 points. :lol

[Horse]

Let's go we cannot afford our usual shit lineup to start the fourth. Play all out win this one sit everyone against Utah.

[DarrinS]

This team needs to develop Murray, pronto

[rastaspur]

Patty!!

[RD2191]

21-2-7. Kawhi carrying the team per usual.

[kuato]

Spurs without Manu is hopeless

[skin27]

I hope the Spurs continue their comeback and this thunder shit..

Derrick rose wants $30 mil. I don't know in what league that's a bargain for a broken down pg.

[rastaspur]

Derrick rose wants $30 mil. I don't know in what league that's a bargain for a broken down pg.

Yeah, fuck that.

Delusional mofo shouldnt get that. I figured he might be willing to play on the cheap for one year in order to improve his stock.

[james evans]

Let's go we cannot afford our usual shit lineup to start the fourth. Play all out win this one sit everyone against Utah.
we're talking about popovich here. I wouldn't be surprised if he started forbes, parker, aldridge, lee, and anderson

[gambit1990]

21-2-7. Kawhi carrying the team per usual.
3 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers
kawhi haters :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Jesus Pau...

[Darius Bieber]

What's with this shit lineup poop?

[bklynspursfan]

This lineup is terrifying. I would have LMA out there instead of Pau

[Uriel]

Manu wants this game more than the rest of the team combined.

[bklynspursfan]

And as I write that LMA is off the bench

[BatManu20]

Danny struggling too.

[Ron Swanson]

And as I write that LMA is off the bench


:toast

[Robz4000]

God damn Danny

[SAGirl]

That was great ball movement.. Danny just missed wide open shot.

[Ron Swanson]

Lazy passing.

[bklynspursfan]

Such a bad pass by LMA. And Danny needs to go to the freaking Ball harder than that

[Darius Bieber]

LMA, Green, such trash.

[Robz4000]

Parker checks back in, things go to shit.

[RD2191]

3 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers
kawhi haters :lol

TBH

[$pursDynasty]

Damn Lamarcus

[UZER]

The way Kanter just posted up is the way Aldridge should post. Get physical and make the refs call something.

[SAGirl]

Danny bad hands with LMA sheesh

[Russ]

LMA so scared to throw a bad pass, then he throws a bad pass . . .

[hater]

:lmao this lineup

Sucky Patty, one trick Pony, vending machine head and Lamarsha :lol

We are so fucked

[ElNono]

MVPelon trying to get us back into this game... gonna get wasted by these scrubs

[FkLA]

Trade LMA in the off-season. I'm off his bandwagon. He's a faggot.

[james evans]

we're talking about popovich here. I wouldn't be surprised if he started forbes, parker, aldridge, lee, and anderson
I was close. sub out forbes for Green. I think it's time for Popovich to fucking retire. He has no idea how to ride the momentum

[RD2191]

Danny struggling too.

He's had 1 good game the entire season.

[DarrinS]

Lol, when you can't get the ball to your aging PG.

[Horse]

Thunder begging to lose and this is what we do?

[bklynspursfan]

Dangerous pass to Lee. Worked out fortunately

[Ron Swanson]

Oladipo trying to take out Spurs again.

You have a great point.

[SAGirl]

Lee great hands it must be said. :toast

[Ron Swanson]

Bad awareness by Lee

[GB20]

The whole team is losing faith in Danny.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Porker

[BatManu20]

We're getting opportunities. Just can't capitalize on any of them.

[Ron Swanson]

Just awful, Tony

[ElNono]

holy shit Tony is a disaster

[Darius Bieber]

GET PARKER OUT JESUS FUCK

[SAGirl]

Lee had Danny wide open, but this is why guys need reps together tbh I love Pop didn't give up on this game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

holy shit parker needs to retire right now

[Robz4000]

Fuck Parker, take his worthless ass out.

[SAGirl]

Tony sheeeeesh

[Budkin]

Wow TP

[Ron Swanson]

Bonner gave the compromising photos of Pop to Tony on his way out.

[Darius Bieber]

Parker in, lead goes up.

[james evans]

we get the momentum back and are only down by 5 going into the 4th and what does the "goat coach" do?

[weeks]

parker :lmao

[DarrinS]

Parker, sad

[spursistan]

Aldridge/Parker completely drag the ship down when they are bad..even fossil Manu can still contribute in sneaky way in his..Take these two faggots off my team..fuckin losers..

[FkLA]

Still going to Lamarsha in key moments. :lol

[CGD]

Hubie Brown with some truth bombs: "nothing good had happened tonight when parkers been on the floor for them."

[rastaspur]

It's real hard to have a positive outlook going into the playoffs. Up until this year I have for the most part and I felt like I could justify it and not feel like a blind homer.

I like to stay within the realm of reality. That positive outlook is gone. Things need to be shaken up this summer.

Lma needs to be traded. Green needs to go to the bench. Parker needs to be offed by the husband of his summer side ass.

[SAGirl]

Kiwi get your 3
buckets!
:claw

[mexicanjunior]

LaCarcass is such garbage...He should have gone ahead and had his triple bypass...

[Ron Swanson]

Westbrook wants that triple double.

Holy shit, Manu

[bklynspursfan]

Manu! Refs did not want to call that smh.

[ElNono]

MVPelon really trying <3

[FkLA]

Bring Paddy in you senile faggot.

[Spurs9]

Start Lee tbh

[hater]

Manu with a throwback game finally

[Darius Bieber]

Bring Paddy in you senile faggot.

[unleashbaynes]

Fuck parker.....

[ElNono]

Why are Porker and Lee still out there?

[Darius Bieber]

Start Lee tbh

Yeah why even start Dedmon if he rarely gets any minutes?

[SAGirl]

Manu wants this game.
21 minutes and counting and I bet he insisted on playing.
One has to admire the heart of a champion.
Manu
:worship:

[DarrinS]

MVPelon really trying <3

Always does :tu

[Robz4000]

Manu has his bad games, but every three or four games he looks amazing. He's worth bringing back just for that.

[james evans]

Does everyone see in this game how Westbrooke's triple doubles are set up by the team. The same with harden. As soon as he coems down and kicks it to a teammate, they shoot it every time without even hesitating. this dude isn't playmaking. This shit is planned and bastardized as he's stat padding. Plus he's leaving his assignment open at times going for rebounds.

[FkLA]

MVPelon really trying <3

Can you imagine Enrique at 39 years old? :lol

[hater]

Why are Porker and Lee still out there?

Lee is our best bigman out there

[rastaspur]

Manu wants this game.
21 minutes and counting and I bet he insisted on playing.
One has to admire the heart of a champion.
Manu
:worship:

This is why manu is my fav of all time. He is all heart and a top 10 competitor of all time easily

[sasaint]

The way Kanter just posted up is the way Aldridge should post. Get physical and make the refs call something.

Don't hold your breath.

[skin27]

Miss free throw!!! Smh

[BatManu20]

Turnobili rearing his ugly head at the wrong time. Can't hate on him too much though cause he's one of the few players who came to play today.

[ElNono]

Kancer flopping like a faggot

[Robz4000]

Manu got fouled to shit there and no call.

[Russ]

Spurs should have some back door opportunities down the stretch the way OKC is defending . . .

[Robz4000]

Turnobili rearing his ugly head at the wrong time. Can't hate on him too much though cause he's one of the few players who came to play today.


Manu got fouled to shit there and no call.

[boutons_deux]

duncan shot better FTs than these Spurs

[ace3g]

Patty up

[skin27]

Thunder will hang on and break the Spurs fans heart..

[rastaspur]

I wish tony would just go bang charles oakleys wife or something. He would be a deadman walking and would free up a roster spot and some much needed cap space.

[SAGirl]

Yeah, fuck that.

Delusional mofo shouldnt get that. I figured he might be willing to play on the cheap for one year in order to improve his stock.
He recently made a statement that money wasn't it for him this upcoming offseason. He wants to play in a winning team.
One never knows with him, but he's looking around.

[UZER]

Don't hold your breath.

Oh it'll never happen. I'm just pointing out why Aldridge is garbage soft.

[ace3g]

chance for the lead

[Spurs9]

Westbrook is going to win this game late for us with his chucking.

[Ron Swanson]

Horrible foul by Patty

[ElNono]

come on Kiwi, this is your moment

[FkLA]

El Profesor MVPelon orchestrating

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Leonard needs to take it hard to the rim, he settles way too much sometimes.

[sasaint]

Kawhi with a frustrated forced shot.

That's game, Spurs just don't have it.

[Ron Swanson]

Pau!

[ace3g]

Pau "stretch 5" Gasol

Midrange shot :bang :bang :bang

[BatManu20]

Make your FT's boys!

[wildbill2u]

Obvious that Pop can't trust Green to shoot any more.

[midnightpulp]

Thankfully LMA was there.

[Galileo]

Go Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Need a big stop here.

[GSH]

obvious to opponents too

[bklynspursfan]

God the officiating sucks

[sasaint]

Obvious that Pop can't trust Green to shoot any more.

Or even play D?! :wow

Why no Leonard on Russ?

Plain as day offensive foul

[SAGirl]

What a nice pass Pau... I am starting to appreciate Pau

[james evans]

we left 7 points on the court in the 3rd. 5 missed freethrows and a Gasol wide open missed layup. We should be up more now. but I like the gutsy comeback regardless of game outcome.

[Uriel]

Holy shit my heart :lol

[BatManu20]

Aldridge with the block and Kawhi with nail in the coffin! Holy shot. Completely stole this game.

[Robz4000]

What a comeback

[Russ]

That was an Academy award quality tank job.

[Keepin' it real]

Vegas ...

[sasaint]

No Thunderrefs on that LMA block?!?!?! Unbelievable! Completely incredible comeback!!!

Good reverse jinx!

Thanks :)

[Robz4000]

Come back one more year, Manu. Tony you can go kick rocks.

[Horse]

Debbie downer cliffjumpers suck my cock

[Uriel]

Spurs have been doing this ALL YEAR. Getting into 20 point holes and winning basketball games.

[Spurs9]

Refs letting Leonard stat pad :king

[james evans]

that's why Leonard is the mvp. That stat padding caught up with the Thunder. They were up BIG and then the team decided, "hey let's get Westbbrooke another triple double" and went away from what got them their success.

[Arcadian]

Daaaammmmnn, Westbrook just got niggr'd right there!

Kawhi the real MVP, bitches.

[AztecSpur]

:lmao

[Horse]

Where is that **** beiber?

Our starting PG had 15... if you add together points, assists, rebounds, and turnovers. :lol

[Spurs da champs]

Kawhi mentally strong.

[sasaint]

Spurs have been doing this ALL YEAR. Getting into 20 point holes and winning basketball games.

True. It is not a good way to go - especially in the playoffs.

[bklynspursfan]

Helluva comeback . We've had lots of come from behind wins, but this on is at the top.not for any seeding significance or anything . Just for mental toughness / confidence

[SPURt]

Can't believe Manu is still winning games for the Spurs! It's been a pleasure old man!

[ace3g]

I think GS and Thunder are going to regret showing their hand early with doubling Kawhi. Yes it worked, but now it gives Spurs/Kawhi time to game-plan for that tactic before the playoffs.

[DarrinS]

Enrique and Verde need to be waived

Just Enrique. Danny can play D, at least.

[spursparker9]

Seem like every after every game, Pau will talk to some of the opposite players

[HI-FI]

Props to Pop for swallowing his pride and keeping Enrique on the bench.

[Ron Swanson]

MVPelota got shit done tonight.

[james evans]

No Thunderrefs on that LMA block?!?!?! Unbelievable! Completely incredible comeback!!!


:flag: Spurs win!
Westbrookee and Harden flop the whole game playing for fouls, then they flop with seconds to go and wonder why they don't get the calls.

[rastaspur]

The thunder could be a borderline contender if westbrook put his stats aside and concetrated on winning.

If he can change his priority and not worry about a triple double average in the playoffs they could get out of the first round.

[sasaint]

Helluva comeback . We've had lots of come from behind wins, but this on is at the top.not for any seeding significance or anything . Just for mental toughness / confidence

[SAGirl]

40 year old Manu closing over Danny.
Danny didn't have the shot tonight and he got chances and the shaktin a fool moments got him out.
Simmons, the aforementioned mistakes and just unreliability bc one doesn't know which Simmons came to play: the Juice or the dleague Juice.... he also didn't play in the second half.

One has to admire Manu. He really was their playmaker... and Pau was huge.

Kawhi is just not a playmaker and it has to be acknowledged by Pop... and get him some more help at the point, specially if manu retires, which we don't know.

Tony is done.

[Robz4000]

Thrilled with the comeback, but we needed Manu to play perhaps his most impactful game of the season. They can't depend on that throughout the playoffs. Parker either needs to get his head out of his ass or be benched.

[Ron Swanson]

I think that secures the 2 seed. Pop sitting everyone on Sunday.

[SAGirl]

Loved this gritty win.
Ball of the game goes to Manu, but Kawhi, Mills and Pau were huge too.
:flag:

[bklynspursfan]

He can't imo. These guys need time together

David Lee had 8 points, 8 boards, and 3 AST. Pretty solid.

[SAGirl]

His statue of liberty defense really prevented me from appreciating him much I'll be frank... but he was huge in this game, and competed hard. Loved him in this game.

[Russ]

Antonio Daniels on the OKC postgame show complaing about the officiating.

[rasuo214]

Does Parker retire before Manu? Manu seems to have more left in the tank.

Yes,
I agree.. he just played less minutes and didn't close so I forgot him, but he did give solid minutes and competed hard as well.

They almost lost dat mothfockamang

[skin27]

Nice comeback win

[Horse]

Pretty big to beat this team at home after they've won 8 of 10 especially after wed and our history with the thunderefs.

[Mr. Body]

Pau was incredible down the stretch. Maybe the best player on offense the last few possessions. Totally in control.

Aldridge with some huge plays down the stretch, too. That block/tap-out was sweet.

[rastaspur]

Pop should really think about expirementing and bringing tony off the bench and starting patty for five or so games before playoffs start. Might have a positive effect like with pau. Give it a shot.

2 seed is locked up. Why not give it a try. Fuck tonys feelings

[Ron Swanson]

Does Parker retire before Manu? Manu seems to have more left in the tank.

I hope so because that would mean Parker retires after this season.

[SAGirl]

No arguments from me on any of those points. :toast

I am not aboard the "bring Manu back" train, though.
Do you have any doubt whatsover PATFO wants "the bar of soap back"?
It's up to him. He still helps win games, it's up to him. I don't mind him back as much as I did to start the season. He is a game changer.. but at this point it's really about knowing when it's time. I don't want Manu to reach Tony-looking levels and then call it a day.

[sasaint]

Thrilled with the comeback, but we needed Manu to play perhaps his most impactful game of the season. They can't depend on that throughout the playoffs. Parker either needs to get his head out of his ass or be benched.

Agree with this caveat: Tony doesn't have his head up his ass; he is simply done. On that score it is POP who needs to get his head out of his ass.

[rastaspur]

No arguments from me on any of those points. :toast

I am not aboard the "bring Manu back" train, though.

I will take manu back for one more year at 7 mil or less

[HankChinaski]

Gutsy come from behind victory. Green needs to get his shot dropping come playoffs. Same goes for Mills. As much as I like Manu putting up solid minutes tonight despite some scary passes he made I don't how much you can rely on that kind of consistency from him every game in the playoffs.

Manu, Mills, Green can provide consistency on court making plays Spurs would look solid. Right now I just don't know what to expect from those 3 players every night.

Aldridge played some solid D
Kawhi with a stronger 2nd half

Exciting game to watch tonight though.

Now for the Jazz to finish off the weekend

[kuato]

Is people still beleaving that Parker is a better choice than Lapro?

Pau and LMA made their FT's down the stretch. And that 3 by Pau was stone cold. If the Spurs just had to have a 3 down the stretch right now, there's no one on the roster I'd rather have shoot it.

[venitian navigator]

with second seed locked up there era still seven games...how to use them? mmmmh....how long for Murray to be back?

When is Murray coming back?

Good point. I wish the Spurs had brought him up instead of signing Joel. Tbh, I bet most of ST hasn't given Nico a thought for months.

[sasaint]

When is Murray coming back?

Next season for all intents and purposes.

[rasuo214]

This team is so streaky, they can come from behind 20+ and they can also choke away a 20+ point lead.

[GSH]

Good point. I wish the Spurs had brought him up instead of signing Joel. Tbh, I bet most of ST hasn't given Nico a thought for months.


Not after Murray played as well as he did. Nobody saw his injury coming. I think Lap should have been on the roster, and Forbes left in Austin. But they must have forgotten to call and ask me.

[KDKSpurs24]

Kawhi is just not a playmaker and it has to be acknowledged by Pop... and get him some more help at the point, specially if manu retires, which we don't know.

Tony is done.
Actually.. throughout the game Kawhi handled the double teams better and better. He was growing throughout the game and it surprised me. He calmed down and kept pushing himself. I liked what I saw. Now it's time for the teammates to be more consistent whenever he gets them the ball after being doubled.

His statue of liberty defense really prevented me from appreciating him much I'll be frank... but he was huge in this game, and competed hard. Loved him in this game.I remember you feeling that way. Guess youre not swayed by those fancy shmancy threes. Pop should hire you.

Wotsup comeback kings?

This team is so streaky, they can come from behind 20+ and they can also choke away a 20+ point lead.
and the reason behind both of those was coaching. The reason we choked away a 20 pt lead is because Popovich got cute with his bullshit lineups and reason we came back from 20 is that popovich didnt overcoach at the end of the 3rd. But he almost gave the game back to them at the start of the 4th

Some people is, some people ain't.

Pop should really think about expirementing and bringing tony off the bench and starting patty for five or so games before playoffs start. Might have a positive effect like with pau. Give it a shot.

2 seed is locked up. Why not give it a try. Fuck tonys feelings

Or let Hero start but play Paddy 30-33 MPG. None of this even minute distribution bullshit. Similar to Deadmon/Pau.

Have we mathematically clinched the 2 seed, or do we have to chase the fisherman for one more game?
