This victory was all due to Spurs' playoff experience.
OKC couldn't shake them even with the 4 pts lead in the 4th.
Punch them in the face in Game 4, Spurs!

Re: PLEASE LET'S NOT BE ARROGANT
This fanbase is annoying, if we lose Sunday they will all flip out again. IMO we got what we needed obviously, Sunday isnt house money but we can play with a tad less pressure, than had we lost tonight.

OKC gave this game away. They were poised to blow the game open in the 4th but choked. This is going to be a 7 game series.

Re: PLEASE LET'S NOT BE ARROGANT
This team isn't a shadow of those 2012-14 OKC teams. The defense of theirs is much weaker, I feel like we can penetrate whenever we want.
I'm usually pessimistic but I think we got this in the bag.. Plus, their crunch time offense is cringe worthy

Not really, Spurs hurt themselves by missing 10+ free throws.

That's true but the Spurs still made 24 FT's compared to OKC's 18 (34 vs 20 total). I don't expect that kind of disparity to continue against the Thunderefs

That has to do w/ the FACT that they are switching the PnRs & daring WestBRick to chuck up jumpers rather than giving him driving lanes. Durant is also operating on the perimeter rather than driving to the hole.
On the other hand, they have to bite on LMA's pump fakes & Kawhi was playing layup or foul when he drove to the rack.

2012 is irrelevant b/c Harden killed the Spurs but in 2014 WB played out of his mind in Gm 4 & the Spurs (esp. Tiago) were scared of Ibaka before CoJo slayed him during garbage time.
WestBrick is going to come out gunning, he's either going to drop 40 or shooting 10 for 40.:lol
"It was a backbreaker," Thunder forward Kevin Durant said. "We played good defense and were down seven with a minute to go and cut it to two. We made him (Aldridge) miss his shot, and the ball kind of fell in his (Leonard's) hands. He was in great position to get the rebound, and that sucks.
It fell into his hands. :lol

They wasted a season high performance from Roberson.:lol
The strategy is to let WestBrick chuck away by switching PnRs & having Ibaka's man have one foot in the paint. Adams didn't get any of those lobs b/c WB couldn't get into the lane against a set defense.:toast

Re: PLEASE LET'S NOT BE ARROGANT
arrogant? we barely won on a kawhi offensive rebound. Missed a boatload of ft's... couldn't get defensive rebounds at the end (game 6 -esque)... offense absolute crap outside of lma kawhi and parker tonight. Bench worse than okc's.
Most of us are pretty worried.

OKC's defense was never that good. In 2014 we hung 110+ in games one and two without ibaka. Same thing in games 5 and 6, when we gave bonner and Diaw more minutes which pretty much made ibaka useless, as we're seeing now. OKCs defense was heavy dependent on Ibaka roaming the weak side, now that he regularly guards stretch bigs OKC's defense has been exposed.
