Time to take care of things at home.

You do know we lost Game 2 at home right?Quote:

Fortunately, wasn't able to see the game except for the final minutes due to elections here. :lolQuote:

Not really..they were controlling the game at several points and just melted down..
This series has been worrisome, as OKC isn't a great team, they're poor defensively and erratic on offense..it's evident that the Warriors are on an entirely different level than these teams, although I think everybody already knew that..
What's the deal with you Rob? For the past month...you've been a "Spurs 1st/2nd round exit" posting machine. Now we "should of swept OKC".Quote:

Thunder have the Spurs figured out. Kanter and Adams together equals 10 tries a possession. They win easily in 6, it's 2012 all over again.
Yeah it's over. OKC will rape the Spurs on Tuesday. It's over.
Um. Spurs are 43-2 at home this year. That's pretty OK.Quote:

Got to make shots to win. Story gets old With the spurs. They definitely need help on offense still. Outside of diaw, who made an impact besides Parker, Kawhi, and lma?
Thunder had foye, kanter, Adams, and ibaka all step up and make shots off their superstars creating. Got to have it.
To anyone worried, It's a 3 game series with two home games. Spurs should be alright.
Thunder lost and had struggles vs. a horrible Mavs team:lolQuote:

Maybe this game will drive the message home that we can't play to 75% of our potential and expect to win in the playoffs. Also I was wrong about this series, it's not 2014 vs. the Heat, it's the first-round 7-game series vs. Dallas. This is our chance to get our asses into gear and start executing like the elite contender we're capable of being.
Should is the key word. I like what I've seen from Kawhi and Parker. Starting to play more consistent. Role players will be better at home as well.Quote:

I expect a different team in Game 5, and a solid close-out win in Game 6.
Yes..losing to this OKC team with HCA would be embarrassing as fuck..Quote:

Spurs did exactly what they needed to do, get home court back. You know this team ain't losing at home again. You can count on them coming back and playing well enough to win game 5.

No way.
They don't stand a shot if Curry is remotely healthy and at home to boot, neither team is passing them but it would BE NICE to pass this Thunder team and break it up.Quote:

All those passes are to get that open look, but they up fake, put the ball on the floor, get trapped, pass out of to a wide open shooter who hesitates, up fakes, drives in and looks lost again.Quote:

Exactly. This Spurs team is nothing special. Had OKC not choked with the turnovers and just slowed down in Game 3, the Spurs would be on the brink of elimination.Quote:

EXACTLY.Quote:

How about the refs don't fuck us then it's a 15-20 pt lead to start the 4th. Td has to play to help rebound and protect the rim he can still do that.
Meh I mean thats the way we are formed. Pretty top-heavy. Unlike 2014.Quote:

People keep saying this, so it should probably keep being repeated, that of those losses, it was to this very team. HCA means less against them than it does to Milwaukee in February.Quote:

loser mentality
When the Spurs beat OKC, KD will have an excuse to leaving the Thunder. When the Duds lose to the Cavs in the Finals, KD won't have to feel guilty about signing w/ a championship team since the Cavs are going to win it all.Quote:

And, don't get me wrong. I still think The Spurs are favored in a best of 3 with HCA, but I won't be surprised to see OKC get a 14-0 free-throw advantage again in the first quarter like in game two to keep them "in it". Then all it takes is a little bad luck, godmode Westbrook or Durant, or a cold-Aldridge...and hello upset.
HCA is no panacea.
Hyperextension in the second half. I think he missed all his shots after that.Quote:

I never understood the "Spurs in 5" predictions. This series always had at least 6 written all over it and the Spurs losing 1 at home probably clinches 7, though I actually like their chances of winning a second on the road now far more than I did before the series.Quote:

I hope they all get going man, we need a big game from them in game 5 or else it will be another down to the wire anyone can win type of game.Quote:

Add to that, OKC, again, has beaten us, so what our record is against the teams that can't beat us at home is just that. The record against the teams that can't beat us at home. OKC can beat us. These are not just random trials. Opponent matters.Quote:

They're certainly a top 5 team, but IMO, they have no shot at a championship (even if they beat us and advance).
without that game 2 collapsterfuck, this shit would be overQuote:

The Spurs have looked like shit in all games except for 1. Game 3 felt more like the Thunder lost it than the Spurs won it. Not sure where all this false confidence is coming from.
This of course Amuseddaysleeper is overreacting like he has all season. Durant will come down to earth, and OKC will be screwed if that happens.Quote:

True. I did bring up Milwuakee. (I just pulled it outta my ass. I don't know they played M in F, just using random scrub stat padding home win team.) That doesn't mean the Dubs victory was as telling as some may think.Quote:

I hope you're right, and we beat them both times at home, as our record implies they should. I will be glad to have worried about these things unnecessarily.
Westbrick is a straight up loser. He was arguing with his teammates like a little bitch and he picked up a second T in this series tonight. F'in fag.
It's a best out of three series with Spurs playing two games at home, and have outplayed OKC throughout most of the series tbh, and Spurs have the ability to play even better. Calm down :lol
And, I didn't say we couldn't beat them. Only that they can beat us. They have, even if they stole/were handed one.Quote:
