[ducks]

150

[John B]

150 points :lol

[Blackhaus]

Crazy good game by LMA

[Capt Bringdown]

One of the best games I've ever seen

[DAF86]

If I see DeRozan and Forbes or Mills outther for defense, I will blow a gasket.

[$pursDynasty]

Reggie REALLY wants DeRozan to close this game.
No Reggie wants us to lose the game that's why he wants Demar taking shots when everyone knows it has to be LMA

[Spurs fever]

White is a defensive juggernaut!

[Spur|n|Austin]

WHITE POWER!

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs should've killed more time on that inbound after the review.

Let's see if White can make both.

[Chinook]

Really? That old-ass Geico commercial with the squirrels came on.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Not over with these refs and DDR

[Robz4000]

LMA: A+

White: A

DeRozan: Fuck off

[skin27]

LA should take the freethrows so that he can get 60

[timtonymanu]

Yeah fuck you Ferguson. Regressing to the mean with that awful turnover. Fuck you your 7 3 pointers.

[FkLA]

Fluky scrub coming back down to earth. :tu

[anon]

That should do it. White, niggas.

[phxspurfan]

Refs by 50 in OKC

[boutons_deux]

Havlicek Stole The Ball!

[John B]

Spurs need to win this cause no way OKC loses at home after this kind of game
I think we can with a healthy squad

[DAF86]

We are so lucky White had to switch into George there, because if it was up to Pop and DeRozan this would have gone to hepta-OT. :lol

THANK YOU FERG

[Ron Swanson]

You have to be shitting me.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Muahahhahahaba

[$pursDynasty]

Derozan is an imbecile he needs to be on the bench

[Spur|n|Austin]

Way to go Derozan, keep fucking us here...

[Robz4000]

Get. Rid. Of. DeRozan.

[timtonymanu]

Man I wish the worst on all nba referees. Bunch of human waste on this earth.

[TimmyBuckets]

Thank you again Demar. Not only did you fail on offense, but you fouled for a 4pt play. Sit down.

[DAF86]

Can somebody kill DeRozan, seriously? :lol

[John B]

Demar???

LaMarcus Aldridge now has more points tonight (54) than Tim Duncan had in any game in his career.

Duncan’s scoring high in 1,392 games was 53.

[hater]

:lmao this poor ref :lmao

What the fuck are they doing?

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I really don't understand how DDR is on the floor. This is really bad on Pop

[FkLA]

Bruh sit the cancer the fuck down. WTF.

[TimmyBuckets]

Nvm lol refs saves us. Thank u refs.

[objective]

DDR is having the game from hell.

[hater]

:lmao this poor ref :lmao

What the fuck are they doing?

[Nathan89]

DeRozan just wants to lose.

[playbonner15]

LOL get derozan out

[BD24]

Derozan trying to give the game away

[KDKSpurs24]

Hell the refs have been making some bad calls. I kinda feel bad for the Thunder in a way. And I’m never like that

[John B]

Good foul by Demar :lol

[phxspurfan]

Adams gifted LMA some more points

[RD2191]

Fucking dodged a bullet there

[MultiTroll]

Great rim bounce throw by Adams then quick pass out for the quick trey attempt.

[313]

Spurrefs :hat

[hater]

This poor retard ref who keeps talking on the mic gonna get fired :lol

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Gawd Reggie miller is stupid.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Bbut Derrick White sucks. Bbbut he's white trash. Bbbbut he makes lazy passes. :lmao:lmao:lmao Hater with the biggest shit sandwich of the season.

[John B]

Aldridge ticket to All Star

[resistanze]

Hopefully this ends the 'DeRozan isn't so bad!' delusions here. I've watched this cancer for too long tbh

[playbonner15]

Lol INSTA 5 PTS LOOOOL

[Mikeanaro]

Announcers were expecting to count that 3 and make Adams shot fts.

[KDKSpurs24]

Hell the refs have been making some bad calls. I kinda feel bad for the Thunder in a way. And I’m never like that

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

DDR has done nothing except try to lose this game. His value on the floor was for OKC. Where was Davis or Marco?!?

[$pursDynasty]

We win by 30 if LMA got all of Demar's touches

[RD2191]

Great job by LMA

[playbonner15]

WOW WHAT A GAME

[Nathan89]

Lma stealing the ball smdh

[Spur|n|Austin]

Demar looks shook

[GusT15]

DeRozan what the fuck are you doing man... You cannot possibly be so mentally weak,so unable to control yourself in the clutch... This is sad.Just sad.

Fuck it,Spurs win. DeRozan sucks.

[ducks]

Spurs go spurs

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I would have rather had Gasol on the floor than DDR

[skin27]

Victory!!!! What a hard fought game

[ECOV]

Awesome game !!!!

[davidbowie]

we shouldve won by 20 and ended this shit an hour ago lol

[Robz4000]

:worthy: LMA :worthy:

[DAF86]

Because White has to defend Westbrook and the Spurs have no other defenders. It's not like Forbes or Mills or Marco would do much better on George.

Westbrook defends himself.

Also, Bertans >>>>> DeRozan on defense.

If DeRozan would have been benched on crunch time this would have been a double digits win for the Spurs on regulation.

[John B]

Pops #3 winningest coach

[FkLA]

dat LMA and DD bromance :cry

[Barfunk]

Fluky scrub coming back down to earth. :tu

Who's that?

[Quiet Strength]

DeRozan vs Aldridge all game wtf Aldridge should have turned around and punched DeRozan when he poured the water on him

[Mikeanaro]

Hell the refs have been making some bad calls. I kinda feel bad for the Thunder in a way. And I’m never like that
And OKC stole playoff series from Spurs getting all that shit, fuck them in the ass, fuck them in the face, fuck them in the ears, fuck them in the forehead.

[sasaint]

Well, we got the split.

[BillMc]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwXDPxDUwAAW7Bq?format=jpg&name=small

[FkLA]

Who's that?

That Ferguson scrub on OKC. Scrubby scrub came in shooting 30%, averaging like 5 PPG and he was 6/7 from three at one point smh.

[timtonymanu]

Who's that?

Terrence Ferguson. The Spurs probably win more comfortably if he wasn’t shooting like Curry out there

[BillMc]

Victory!!!:flag:

[Degoat]

Gutsy win! Although DD struggled, good that we can win when he struggles

[marinoman]

Tbh Aldridge could’ve easily had 60+ if he didn’t fumble some easy passes under the basket out of bounds

[Budkin]

Unbelievable win. Wow.

[TDMVPDPOY]

DD inner channeling that no.10 rodman to waste a good game by his team mates...fck this clown 27m

[Rosewood]

Great win, I know there will be a lot of Ref talk near the end there (especially for OKC fans, I know my hypocritical ass would if I were one) but almost all the calls were legit. The taking away Paul George's 3 was kinda fucked though. Don't think that was the right call.

[barakz21]

Wow.. LMA’s surpassed the big fun’s career high.

[cjw]

Lamarcus just scored more points than Steph ever has, and since 2010, only AD has scored more as a big man (Demarcus matched him). Insane performance.

Since 1991, only one game by Shaq had a higher number of points scored with zero three point attempts than LMA tonight.

Spurs have five of eight top scoring performances this season of guys who’ve taken zero three attempts.

My muthafuckin touches! Dayum...just came home from work to see the score. I heard on the radio though that OKC got jobbed by the refs and that we were gifted the game. Is that true? I usually hate winning that way but OKC fans have NOTHING to bitch about given how they've historically been gifted playoff games against us, tbh.

It was awesome but to be fair Steph has scored a crazy amount and then would sit the entire 4th quarter. Multiple times too.

Yeah Paul George's 3 should've definitely counted for sure but the refs did waive off an DDR layup in double OT because he pushed off slightly. Like to think it was evenish.

OKC fans have a right to gripe, it should've been a 4 point play when they were down 146-152 but they ruled the foul occurred before George took the shot (probably would've counted had it been in regulation. Also George got T'ed up after getting fouled on made layup in OT.

To be fair though, game 6 2012 so they can fuck off tbh.

[cd021]

That White block on Grant :wow

kid can ball. Can't wait to see him and Murray together next season tbh.

Fuck no. If anything it was the same old thunderefs all game. Jumping into our bigs who had their hands straight up was automatic FTs. No calls on the other end for our guys.

[SpurPadre]

Thanks. Good to know. How did we choke in the 4th, though? Comfortable lead after 3.

[Arcadian]

Just finished the game on a recording. Great fucking game. Must be one of the best regular season games ever.

Brilliant game from Aldridge. He scored more points than Duncan ever did in a regular season game.

[FkLA]

Thanks. Good to know. How did we choke in the 4th, though? Comfortable lead after 3.

DeRozan was a legit cancer this game. Like horrible. Not just poor shooting but fucking up the flow, making dumb passes, dumb decisions on both ends of the court. Some of their scrubs had fluky ass games. Chimbrook shot over 50% which is unheard of for him. Oh and thunderefs helped out too.

[SpurPadre]

DeRozan's recent struggles are concerning. I'm also reading that Marco got the ball stolen with 5 seconds left that tied the game for OKC. Were they trying to foul but Marco stupidly turned the ball over?

Didn't Manu score 55 points once and TP had a 51 point game too?

'Me & Aldridge' :lol classic QPon

[Robz4000]

Great win, but still can't get over how cancerous DeRozan was most of the game. If playoff DeRozan rears his ugly head like he did tonight Pop needs to realize it and bench him, especially when there are other options like he had tonight. You had LMA playing unconciously and several bench players playing well in multiple facets yet you stick with someone continuously fucking up on both sides of the ball.

[SpurPadre]

manu’s career high is 48pts I think

parker is 55pts

You're right about TP but I could've sworn Manu also dropped a 50 spot once.

[skin27]

Raptors benched him last year in the playoffs when he was playing exactly like he was playing tonight.I have the outmost confidence that Pop will bench him as well.I am also pretty sure he will need to be benched at close games in the playoffs.

Dude was a trainwreck.It's not just the bad offensive choice,play after play,hero ball instead of moving the ball just to brick a long two,wrong positioning and bad passing.Noooo,he takes screwing up the clutch in another dimension.

That foul on Adams while PG was shooting the 3 had me close to sending a punch through my TV.I couldn't believe my eyes.

[Duncan87]

Russ gonna get hella calls in OKC

[Duncan87]

Bet LA picks up quick fouls NBA refs=BS

[superbigtime]

Was at the game. Demar was profoundly bad and unclutch, let refs mess w his head, bad body language. Aldridge had a hell of a game. I am so extremely pleased for him. White and Beli and bertans were terrific. What a game.

[Arcadian]

1. Robinson 71 (1994)
2. Gervin 63 (1978)
3. Aldridge 56 (2019)
4. Gervin 55 (1980)
4. Parker 55 (2008)
6. Duncan 53 (2001)
6. Gervin 53 (1980)

:toast Historic

[TimmyBuckets]

Derozan gonna bounce back in OKC. Hopefully. Godridge was Godridge. Vaporized OKC and all the scrawny bitches that they threw at him. Got lucky Adams was hurt, even though hr was eating him alive before.

[SASdynasty!]

Didn't Manu score 55 points once and TP had a 51 point game too?
Lol Manu having more than Parker, no

[Duncan87]

Guys DD defense is as bad as we thought seems like everyone beats him and Marco only

[barakz21]

Wow.. LMA’s surpassed the big fun’s career high.

[szkorhetz]

16-19 from deep.
Pop is a fucking legend.

[Fireball]

what a game ... I knew I was in for a ride when I opened League Pass app and started to watch the tape as it showed a running time of over three hours. glad we won ... LA was a beast while Derozan is falling off more and more ... he gets frustrated too easy by phisical play which is why he sucks in the playoffs

why did we not shoot more three pointers? after three quartes okc seemed to take that one out of our game ... another reason for LA‘s career high

[gospursgojas]

Anyone know when the last time a player scored 50 without a three?

[Russ]

You're right about TP but I could've sworn Manu also dropped a 50 spot once.

Manu scored 50 on April 9, 2005 vs. the Clippers . . .

[Duncan87]

Gasol just old .When Rudy come back lots of DNP in paus future wish I knew plan with him trade or keep

[gospursgojas]

Manu scored 50 on April 9, 2005 vs. the Clippers . . .

Wrong. That was minutes. Not points.

[Trainwreck2100]

shaq in like 2000

[Robz4000]

Anyone know when the last time a player scored 50 without a three?

Shaq against the Clippers in 2000 or 2001. Dropped 61 on his birthday.

[Spurs Homer]

16-19 from deep.
Pop is a fucking legend.

how many of those 3’s did pop hit?

[Russ]

Wrong. That was minutes. Not points.

Ouch . . .

[skin27]

Hope can we beat them in Oklahoma..it will be huge

[Indianman]

Where can I watch the full match online?

[KimmyGib]

Gotta give it to Westbrook. What a display of lightning fast decision making and passing after breaking down our d again and again and again.

[SpursScandal]

Is SpursPadre even a Spurs fan? I discovered this website a few months ago (Spur fan since early 2000) and all I can read from his posts are all negativity.

[cd021]

Demar has not been able to adjust . His ball dominant off the dribble moves a arnnt working. Let the offense come to you when you have a teammate scoring 50.

[r0drig0lac]

amazing game!!

[NameLess Scrub]

DeRozan's recent struggles are concerning. I'm also reading that Marco got the ball stolen with 5 seconds left that tied the game for OKC. Were they trying to foul but Marco stupidly turned the ball over?

Beli was struggling to protect it from WB so PG took the ball from his blind side.

Benching him eliminates a star from the team though.

There's gotta be a way for him to work on that mental stuff he goes through. He must learn to deal with bad/disappointing reffing, physical play, multiple misses and all that.

He's a talented guy and should be able to play off the ball. Didn't like watching him try to iso PG and getting owned.

Maybe Pop let him in to show some trust and let DD work through it. Everybody in the team must be seeing what's going on. He even shows it with body language.

[8FOR!3]

DeRozan missed a lot of shots he usually makes last night. And part of the reason was because he had guys like Russell Westbrook and Paul George and Jerami Grant guarding him and he had little to no space.

[pgardn]

White is a very limited player. Almost a poor mans Kyle Anderson



Stupid quote of the night ^
Typical hater strike out.

[couchman]

Pop made the right call to stick with DDR. The guy has to figure out how to contribute, even when his shot isn't falling. This team won't accomplish much unless DDR plays well when it matters.

If there's a way to work on his mental stuff i'm sure Pop and the rest of the coaching staff will do their best.They have worked wonders in that department with LMA,so they are to be trusted.

But the established route of helping a player get out of a mental slump,when the game isn't flowing as it usually does for him,is pretty simple.Pull him out early,talk to him on the bench to reassure him,wait till they sub out the primary defender,send your player in to find his groove against easier match ups.
I don't know how many times that will work with DD.

The way his body language expresses his frustration is pretty graphic.Everytime he had a bad play on offence or defence he showed that emotion pilling up in his mind.
On the other hand the man wants to win obviously,he cares about the game,he wants to succeed,he is passionate.
It looks like nobody ever taught him how to channel that passion into game winning plays in the clutch.Who was the veteran that mentored him as a kid up in Canada?

Thanks. I'm gonna stream the game somewhere. I had to work and forgot to DVR the game. I can't believe we couldn't get them to foul us in that situation.

I saw the interview with LMA after the game. Are there any others? Did pop say anything? Where could i see these? I want to see the teams reaction to this awesome game!

[Russ]

:lol Russ ... my dude wtf

I was in Argentina in April 2005 -- right before that great playoff run that ended in Game 7 vs. the defending champs Detroit.

Even the soccer-mad Argies were talking about Manu, especially if you got outside of Buenos Aires. "50 points" I can still hear them say in English. I could have sworn Manu scored 50 in April 2005.

i loved seeing this. it reminds me of the times when Manu, Parker, and Tim would pull little pranks on each other. A player won't do this to another player unless they get along. Good Times.

[GreekSpursfan]

White and Murray might be the perfect pairing and it sucks that we can't see if thats the case. Throw Lonnie in to the mix and we might continue to be spoiled like the Duncan era. Lets hope they stay healthy though. Go Spurs!

I wasn't thrilled that the fans booed Kawhi when he returned (I was at the game and just gave him the silent treatment which he was much more deserving of).

But I have to say I think all that negative (and positive) excitement may have really bonded this team.

I think these new guys may have looked up at those banners and been somewhat intimidated by the Spurs history. Like they were just impostors who didn't really belong in this championship setting.

But when those new guys saw how much they were supported by the crowd and how Kawhi was scorned, it seemed as though they finally felt they were a part of the Spurs and worthy of that legacy.

It was something you could actually feel at that game.

when murray was declared out for the year, followed by injuries to white/walker, i found it difficult to be excited about the season. but pop has managed to deliver a fun to watch product on a team that has been playing very well over the course of the last month.

That's a very good point... They probably felt that Spurs were about accountability and respect and that if they were giving that they'd belong... That's was the occasion to create a connection with the fans, the organisation and its history, by not letting Kawhi get the last laugh in SA, even it was just symbolic.

I guess Patty certainly, and to some extent LMA and Rudy, must have make them understand this one was important for the fans...

that's also maybe the game where Demar turned the page and really accepted, embraced he was a spur and put Toronto behind him (even though it will always be his team, unless maybe he wins a ship in SA... hey who knows ?), his frist trip dub also as a symbol...

This game was a little greek tragedy in itself with Kawhi's treason, fans revenge, and Oedipus with DDr killing his father Toronto...

It was something you could actually feel at that game. Great take. I go to most games, but was not wanting to go to that game. Mainly because I don't like the guy and didn't want to spend the night booing him. However I think it was obviously necessary and for the team to come together put it to nephew. I do get you preferring the 'silent treatment' to the booing. Either way I think nephew and uncle got what they had coming. Great time for DDR to express himself...it was an intense night emotionally I'm sure.

When we lost by 34 to the Jazz, it seemed there was no hope.

Good to see Pop nixing the practice. Going to be tough beating them back to back. Ninja Turtle probably slept restlessly thinking about a quadruple double.

All of bryns 3 point shots have been wide open. 0 of 6.

Spurs would be well ahead if not for his misses.
