Send them a gif of the duncan facial. That should stop the calls
Really, the Spurs gave up a lot of rebounds and the lead could be bigger. However, the Thunder also got a lot of shots to go that were "tough" shots. Aside from a few corner threes, the Spurs really did not give an inch on defense.
The offense that first half flowed extremely well and they got most of the attention but really the Spurs D was DAMN good.
OKC shooting only 36%.
That ain't gonna last.
fwiw? i'm lost with all these ebreviations
. I just said 410 @Culebra
Purrrrrr.
It was not a foul, it was not a dirty play. It was an aggressive block, very good defensive recovery and block. Don't be a pussy because a dear Spur was on the receiving end. Gotta recognize good plays from other teams, it happens.
Deja Vu from rounds 1 and 2:

This is quickly turning into a clinic.
What astounds me is the ease with which Spurs are scoring. Crisp, clean, precise passing and easy, open buckets compared to OKC, who are pounding the ball, dribble dribble dribbe then a long jumpshot -> brick. The more OKC tries to play 1-on-1 basketball, the more Spurs pass and play team-ball.
The gap in talent is pretty apparent now. I'm sorry, but I don't think it's OKC's time yet this year. They need to take a good look at the way SA plays and learn something from their efficiency and unselfishness. At this point, OKC needs to start thinking about how to prevent themselves from getting swept by the Spurs.
Honestly, this board amazes me. We have a team that has 19 wins in a row going into this game, has just played their hearts out, is up 11 points at the half, and posters in here are pissed that the lead is not more?
Get over yourselves!
I like the lack of turnovers we have, and the fact that OKC thinks Fisher is going to go 6-6 to start the game again as if that wasn't a fluke in game 1. Their terrible decisions on offense are why they're shooting 36%.
I'm happy with out lead. . .but we're giving up way too many offensive boards to expect to be up this much later. I think either someone needs to hit Splitter in the back of the head and tell him to in rebound, or we need to put Blair in there instead of either him or Bonner.
Bonner: 0 rebounds
Splitter: 0 rebounds
Duncan is like our only frickin rebounder right now, with 8 first half boards. Diaw has 4 too, and he's mostly been playing WITH Duncan.
looked clean to me. Even if there might have been body contact, the ref that called the foul couldn't have seen it from his angle. Westbrook had a clean block from up top. Ref might have reacted to the tp fall and called the foul as they sometimes do.
I yelled pretty damn loud myself. I was just shocked he dunked it.
This is why I said I was glad Fish went off last game in a loss for them. He would keep shooting, and he did. He hit one shot and that opened the flood gates for him, but he's no idiot and will dish the ball. Westbrook is embarassed. He's going to go all Kobe. I want to see the Thunder players arguing amongst themselves, doubting their coaches, see them driven before us, hear the lamentations of their women.
The spurs actually boxed out really well for the game, the only problem was that a lot of taps from the rebounds ended up being caught by Thunder players
Yep. They're going to fall in love with those 3's because it's the only thing working, and it will bury them.
Kenny
lol every big city in the US has like 10 of those guys
I thought he was trying to tear the rim down. I screamed "GODDAMN Tim, Please don't hurt him!!"
We're not pissed so much as concerned -- concerned that we're playing so well in the first place, yet the score doesn't reflect that. It concerns us because it could be indicative of how narrow the disparity is in talent between the two teams, and how very different things could be in future games in this series.
I get your point, but the point that everyone has bringing up on offensive rebounds is valid. I think everyone would be happy with any margin of victory in a win but they see something that is exploitable and is keeping OKC in the game.
100% agree
Give spurs D some credit bro, spurs playing great d aside from neal leaving fishers corpse out there.
I screamed too. People downstairs are probably used to it, and , their kids make enough damn noise!
The winning streak will do that to you. We've become a spoiled bunch.
Lol at all these Thunder supporters showing fake love to the spurs. Were no longer boring. Were NASTY
