Superb to watch, aren't they?![]()
On the flipside of Green, Leonard was an assassin in the 3rd and 4th. He seems impervious to pressure. Has been all season.

Duncan really schooled Ibaka out there. Ibaka is a bad man defender. It's all ive got guys.
Not according to NBA players and coaches. And not against a team like the Thunder. There's a lot of reasons why holding a large lead is difficult in the NBA.
???
Huh, he shot 2-11.
They just set so many good screens that the passes become almost trivial.
Sarcasm. I was told earlier today Ibaka is a weak side defender and nothing else and that TD would school him. Good game. SA too much to handle
Tony just said in the press conference that HAS per se disrupted their rhythm. I win.
@ Durant - "Tp hit some 3s". No he didn't, he hit one 3 while your team stood around and watched him eat lunch, then shoot it.
An encouraging thought:
The worst record the Spurs could have to finish the Playoffs and still win the championship is 6-6. We could win HALF of our remaining games and still be champions.
The Spurs are 31-2 in the last 33 games.
What are the chances the Spurs finish worse than .500 in their remaining games?
It's possible, of course...but extremely implausible.

Durant and Westbrook in those glasses remind me of the youtube with Nash and BDiddy screwing around on the streets of LA:
Kawhi is an old guy in a young man's body. And, yes, he's a cut above. One of the biggest things is that when he does make a mistake, he's not beating himself up about it. He's getting down the floor to make the next play. He's a rookie in name only.
But don't forget how well Green played in the first 2 rounds. And if I remember right, he was in at the ends of some of those games. He's just never seen anything like this. (There aren't any real soft spots on this Thunder team to cherry-pick.) But from what I've seen, Danny is a quick study.
Just got back from a bar in Austin and drunk off my ass. Was leading the cheers there. GO SPURS GO!
Great game. Hope the Spurs don't relax too much in OKC with their leads.
less matt bonner more nasty!!
Manu played just 26 min... incredible it felt a lot more
Agree, the screens are amazing. that is why I cant kill wesbrook on defense on offense however ...![]()
You know you're a ing spoiled ass SpurFan when you're pissed that they didn't win by 20.![]()
Im with chuck Perk is useless this series because Duncan is the fulcrum, not the focal point of the Spurs offense. Perk is one of the best screeners in the NBA on both offense (great for Durant) and defense (horrible for Russ) he creates plenty of open shots on BOTH ends of the court. Parker was killing wesbrook by running his man in to Perk and either Duncan and Tiago. No way Russ can get around both those guys AND stay with TP ...
Haven't forgotten how good Green was in first two rounds, but this series is another level. And yes, you can see that Green gets down on himself when he misses open shots while Kawhi just gets on with business and often gets the ball back at the other end.
Hope Green finds his mental comfort zone in game 3.
A nice win tonight. Up 2-0 and keeping the streak alive...see if they can finish it out in OKC.
Scary, tbh.
That's two...now get the next two...
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
Scary good.![]()
