I was shook to death, saying okay this is our par of the course losing one at home in a game one so we go out and get the next! YES I was on that TIP for a second.
YES BUT HARDLY our best shot either so..... Both can go better.

That was OKC's first shot.....great game, but, doubtful that was their best shot. Spurs still need game 2. Can't wait.
Both teams can play better, for sure.
I think the Spurs can continue to adjust to the Thunder. Not sure how much the Thunder can adjust game to game. We'll see.
Disagree.
We opened their abdominal cavity up in the 4th Jack the Ripper style.
The only thing close was the final score. They broke down.
Quick series, probably not. They can make some changes. Having Ibaka on the bench says layup drill.
Exactly.
If Westbrook could ever stop being a knucklehead OKC would be truly scary. More than anything else, his poor decisions cost them the game tonight.
This was far from their best shot. I think Barkley's comment during the postgame was correct, about this would have been a good game for the Thunder to steal if they could have maintained that lead they took into the 4th. But they didn't. Spurs just played better than them down the stretch, but this was an ugly game for both teams. Mount Ginobili erupting from its slumber and Jax's defense on Durant were the only bright spots honestly.
Spurs missed a lot of easy at the basket though.
Maybe not their best shot, but a very good one nonetheless. Spurs still out-executed them down the stretch. OKC won't get 14 TOs in a half again in this series. If they can't come up with another defensive adjustment this series will be short.
if spurs contain harden from drives and gets charges
thunder do not get easy baskets unless spurs turn it over
spurs get lots of easy shots in 4
spurs therefore won
look at the spurs in the paint score
In the 24 minutes Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker were on the court together, the Spurs outscored the Thunder by 14 points. In the other 24 minutes, they were outscored by 11 points.
Neither team played well tonight. Ginobili came up HUGE For us tonight. OMG that ball fake on Durant was sick. What a great series this is gonna be. Spurs definitely showed me some balls tonight. When they were down by 9 towards the end of the game was a great test. Especially when nothing was falling. I never lost faith though I new we were comin back.
Here's to a hard fought tough win.The playoffs have officially begun.
while this wasnt the thunders best shot, they have no chance beating us 4 of 6. , spurs havent lost 4 in like 35 games or something ridiculous. 19 in arow es. suck on it
we didnt take their best shot.
to me, we gave them our worst shot and came out on top thanks to giving our best shot in the 4th quarter. If that makes any sense lmao
We gave them so many points of turnovers. I don't really think they can score against our half court defense.
Thunder were WAY stronger than I thought they would be... this series is going to be a war.
They had 15 pts off turnovers in the first half. That won't happen again.
I think this was their one shot I think that because we are such a deep team that the latter rounds favor us. To me we just wear down teams that in the fourth quarter they are so gassed they can't stop us...
.Either way OK has class love their players and so happy that the Flakers and Mav's are home fishing...
OP must not have seen game 1 of Thunder - Lakers
That was their best defensive shot. Thunder haven't had much adversity in this playoffs - being beaten after building that lead has to cool their swagger a bit.
Well, the Spurs making that 4th quarter e in offensive and defensive execution really put to bed the similarities to the 2006 mavs series.
To me they just don't get enough from anyone outside of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. Those three will have to shoulder so much of the load offensively that it's a tough task to ask of any 3 players in this kind of a series against this versatile and deadly an opponent. If one or two of those guys has an off game it would take a legendary performance by one of the other 2 (most likely Durant) and a subpar game by the Spurs for the thunder to win. A ton of pressure on those guys.
Today the Spurs weren't great at all. Parker was pedestrian for most of the game but Manu, TD and the role players picked the slack up enough to win. Tiago boosted the team by himself early in the 4th, I just don't see Collison or Perkins ever having the ability to do that. To me that kind of thing is the difference.
I think they exerted too much energy on defense in the first half. Despite the 14 turnovers the Spurs were only down a point. Then when they made the run in the third they hit a lot of tough shots.
I thought the Thunder played pretty well the first three quarters. Spurs didn't play that great which made the Thunder look better than they really were.
But I do agree that the Thunder gave everything they had to win this game.
No way in that this was OKC's best shot. Nor San Antonio's. However, I will admit that the Thunder blew a HUGE opportunity to steal a game tonight, and they failed. Tonight just proved that this series is going to be an all out war....
best shot? lulz
have you seen okc crowd? this was nothing
