Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 1

[TampaDude]

Harden ed the gamblers in the ass with that meaningless 3 at the end, but the Spurs hang on to win.

19 in a row!!!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[LakerLanny]

down 6pts

if u betted on okc +5.5, u needed that last 3pt basket hahahahah everyone leavin a winner, unless you bet spurs -5.5 fail

Harden does nothing all game then s the gamblers at the end. I hate him with the intensity of 1,000 suns.

[EVAY]

This was a team win for sure. Tim and Tony both had sub-par games due to the focus of the Thunder being almost totally on them. That is as it should be. It doesn't mean that Tim and Tony were not playing as well as anyone could against that kind of defense.

But Ginobili was the MVP.

And that is what is so great about this team...shut down one or even two and WHAM...they still beat you!!

SJAX over Green in the starting lineup??

Interesting question...but I doubt Pop will tinker with it to start Game 2, unless Green has another stinker. I hope Pop at least plays Blair more than Bonner, though.

Mother ing Jack. Could you imagine this being a win with ?

[Spurologist]

I loved that Scott Brooks couldn't decide between Thabo and DFish down the stretch

[TampaDude]

Note to Tiago Splitter: I love you, man, but hit your goddamn free throws!!!

[PingPong]

The main players of OKC do lots of fouls... Westbrook, Durant, Harden and their bigs too, except Ibaka.

SJAX over Green in the starting lineup??

Actually I am very interested in that move.

I kept saying the Spurs need to go to a money lineup in the second half and I had Jack in that lineup every time.

this team bring tears to my eyes

never felt this way about a sports team before

[TampaDude]

This Spurs team just doesn't know how to lose...

[DAF86]

Are fans chanting Barkley sucks?

[Ice009]

Anyone got a link to the TNT postgame show. Can't watch it on International LPB.

[Budkin]

I like this female reporter who is not taking Pop's . Made him laugh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

we had plenty of open shots but shot like and 13turnovers in the first half costs us the first half

There's rock, there's paper, there's scissors. . .and there's Ginobili. Ginobili smashes rock, rips through paper, and stomps on scissors!

Im stealing this.

SPURS WIN!

me toooo!!!!!!!!!!

[therealtruth]

Green had a bad game. I think the Thunder lost their best chance of winning a game. The Spurs won't turn it over like crazy in the first half again.

[Budkin]

Why are they chanting Barkley sucks? WTF

[Budkin]

Shaq and Barkley with the San Antonio love!

[DAF86]

C'mon Charles is good people.

The first quarter was mostly bad shot selections, too. TP was a little too high-strung to start the game and it affected everybody else. I'm sure he'll be more settled to start Game 2, though.

Anyone got a link to the TNT postgame show? ILPB was showing it during the regular season, but not the playoffs.

[therealtruth]

It's a compliment. He's been playing so well the Thunder paid extra attention to him. He's never had to contend with that before. He'll adjust.

He's got to make up for it on the defensive end if shots aren't falling.

Interesting question...but I doubt Pop will tinker with it to start Game 2, unless Green has another stinker. I hope Pop at least plays Blair more than Bonner, though.

Bonner is so freaking useless. Jax hasn't been shooting well but he makes a huge 3 pointer. Bonner shoots 45% but can't make them when it counts.
