Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 1

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I love Bonner as a regular season weapon, but that man does not deserve a single important minute in the playoffs the remainder of his contract

[Paranoid Pop]

Tbh, Ginobili was playing like dog in the first, tbh, but tbh he completely turned it around in the second quarter. Westbrook is, tbh, killing us more than Durant, and tbh Fisher. Tbh though I think we are in good shape, tbh 13 TO's is tbh probably just a result of rust, like Duncan said before the last series its gonna take about a half tbh for us to get in gear. Tbh, i think that tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh.

imo tbh.

You sound mad tbh.

Bonner has a history of disappearing in the playoffs, particularly when it matters. But Pop likes to play him a lot for some reason so he has to contribute something. If he's not hitting shots, he's a liability.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fisher also will cool off...trust me on that, dude shot horribly this season and will go cold.

The percentages don't matter when Fisher plays the Spurs in the PO. We're talkin' Twilight Zone stuff here.

[wut]

Also, it'd be nice if TP, Manu and Neal stopped trying to pass the ball in mid shot...that hasn't worked once.

first off Thunder are playing the passing lanes....which is something Spurs need to realize, slow down and stop forcing a bad pass.

Secondly while we've made a name for ourselves on this alone, the Spurs need to stop leaving their feet to pass the ball....it's risky, especially when the defense are watching the passing lanes and have length to stop the passes and intercept.

[SpurPadre]

Bonner's cut off should be this: you miss your first shot attempt, then you're ing useless and you're out for the rest of the MOTHER ING GAME! Ride the bench and eat a ing sandwich or something!

[DPG21920]

Spurs should be fine; only thing that concerns me is that both Dallas and LA seemed dismayed at how they kept melting down vs OKC. Why is that? Why has every team vs okc this playoff just played so uncharacteristically?

[Brazil]

But if TP followed that advice, he won't pass at all in the 2nd half. He's looking to get his tonight, and that's it.

shut the up your dumbass

This guy gets it

[Ice009]

TP is playing like a neutered dog. He seems to always play like this against teams with great length and shotblocking. Teams like the Pistons used to make him look this bad. HE NEEDS TO PLAY A LOT BETTER. Having said all that I have confidence in him to turn it around.

The main issue for me right now is Matt Bonner. Can we afford to keep playing him? It seems like they got a gazillion rebounds when he was out there and it seems like every shot he missed was a huge momentum turning shot with them scoring off of every miss.

I am just shocked how bad Bonner is. Pop needs to forget about that game where Bonner hit like 7 or 8 threes against the Thunder. That is not going to happen anymore, hopefully Pop isn't playing him because he thinks he might go off.

Is having Bonner out there helping the Spurs at all?

[LakerLanny]

Jax needs to step up. He's looking to passive for my liking.

Yeah, I don't like the way he is playing at all. It seemed like an odd add to the team anyway in my opinion.

[EVAY]

Anything to get the ball out of Tony's hand.

What a brilliant comment. Take the ball away from the only Spur to have made the all-NBA team (whichever one it was), who was the only all-star player this year, who was in the top five MVP voting, who remains the team's scoring leader and assist leader...Yes, Let's Do Anything To Keep the Ball Away from TP.

Brilliant!!

[tlongII]

I expect Durant to get hot at some point in the 2nd half. It will be interesting to see how the Spurs react.

[wut]

oh and Diaw with a great first half tbh

I have to be honest.... wtf is up with people hating on Splitter, he had just as solid a first half as Diaw and isn't being ripped. Bonner on the other hand, is KILLING us.

[slick'81]

i will switch sigs so fast if this game gets in doubt

I wish he would disappear like his face on that kid's haircut

[Spurs Brazil]

Stop the turnovers, rebound. Win

[spursfanincolorado]

I think TBH is better than (lmbh - let me be honest)

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lets go Spurs!!

[SpurPadre]

shut the up your dumbass

What the is your problem? I'm a fellow Spurs fan.

[100%duncan]

We need Green in this half. Non-existent earlier.

[wut]

Thunder talking confident this whole time; Spurs talking nervous....we have to change things. If Pop didn't come up with something remarkable at halftime, we're done for.

[Ice009]

Not feeling good about this game, but not worried about the series. Spurs have been begging to lose a game for a while now.

Gotta come out and lay it all on the line, can't throw away anything.

[Budkin]

15 points for them off TOs... we should be killing them.

[bayareaspursfan]

Its not our fault that we ahve 13 TO's. Its the thunder defense ya'll. Give credit where credit is due. After watching the way thunder is playing, I am kinda worried now.
