and the Thunder just standing and watching, not one attempted to block the shot
Time just stopped. I was OMG when TP went into the corner.
Parker just somehow knew, he just went into the corner, HE, Parker, not a 3 point shooter, but somehow he knew, he was confidentmy favorite play of the game after Duncanīs Dunk.
PS: and the 20 point lead in there.

that play was awesome : )
Tony's spin move that made Perkins literally look like a statue should get some credit too!
Pretty much sums up a lot of what went on last night. Let's just look at the MF'ers (I call them MF-ers with affection) while they torch us. Get a camera, take a picture while you're at it.
At that point, the Okies seemed resigned to getting stomped, but they kept fighting back.
Absolutely cold blooded. At that moment that play was the Spurs saying "we can get any shot we want any time we want" and the Thunder saying "yes, you can".
Gotta give the Thunder credit though, they shook it off and came back.
let's not forget Timmy's dunk
Gotta give OKC credit. I didn't think they'd get back off the mat after that. Most teams would have crumbled. Like a punch-drunk prizefighter though, they weren't quite the same after we connected with that haymaker.
NBA put that play and some others in the top 5:
I just want a gif of Manu Ginobili's reaction when he hit that three. I thought he was about to turn into the hulk like in that guy's avatar.
gotdam all 5 were Spurs plays![]()
There was only one game, and the Spurs never trailed. Of course all five were Spurs plays.
I loved TP's spin move.
Key baskets in the game, though, were by Ginobili and TP with under 2 minutes to play. OKC had battled back from being down by 22 and Durant had just cut the lead to 7 points. Ginobili makes a long three from the left wing with 1:30 remaining. If he misses that shot it is likely an immediate rim run for 2 or more Thunder points. Then with 33 seconds remaining, Parker nailed a jumper that ended the Thunder's hopes of a successful comeback. I thought those were the 2 key plays for the Spurs.
everybody just stood there and watched parker eat his lunch and then drain that 3.

Defensively, my favorite play was Timmy's block of Westbrook as the 1st half was ending. He managed to not get called for the foul when Russell created the contact, then contorted to block his shot.
Read the thread le, genius.

I know there was only one game but I'm sure Ok has some good plays
I was in a bar in Austin watching the game and people went flippin nuts.
Pretty sure Tony stopped to crack a smile there
There was an specific dunk made by Durant that amazed me. On the 4Q I think.
I thought the play before was just as, maybe even more impressive. The Leonard trey that broght the Spurs to 75 points.
Spurs do a good job of getting a "team" tipped rebound and get it to Tony who takes it past halfcourt:
1. Parker with ball just past halfcourt lobs it to Duncan. The lob is pretty well defended and maybe a tad too long/Dunks can't *sky* anymore so Duncan extends and catches the ball and before he runs out of bounds...
2. Duncan does a nifty high jump off one leg and throws a baseball strike to Diaw about 12 feet diagonal from the hoop.
3. Diaw fakes a shot, drives it into the lane, does a quick stop and crossover. Ibanka does not bite, so Diaw fakes it again then turns around and threads a pass just beyond Spiderman Durants grasp (Spidey actually grazes the ball) and it arrives to Leonard just outside the arc.
4. Leonard immediately gives the ball to Parker who is between the top of the arc and halfcourt.
5. Tony does a few dribbles then goes past a double screen by Timmy and Diaw on Westbrook. Tony blows past Ibaka and then makes it look like he is going to shoot one of his extended layups. Durant is there for the swat, so Tony expertly lowers the ball a bit and shovels a sideways pass to
6. Leonard, who meanwhile has gone and positioned himself for the corner trey. He takes a breath, gathers the ball. The Spurs crowd is on its feet. Kawhi launches, swish.
If anyone can .gif this plllease do.
Westbrooks swat of Parker looked like all ball and no body foul. I had t.v. on mute so as not to have to endure Ragina Miller.
Anyone have the stats for shooting percentage on 3s off Manu behind the back passes...I can't remember a time when someone missed. I told my bro right after the pass that the 3 was going in.
Do you have the video? Otherwise you have a remarcable memory
Who can have such a stat?Anyone have the stats for shooting percentage on 3s off Manu behind the back passes...I can't remember a time when someone missed. I told my bro right after the pass that the 3 was going in.
But iīll admit its intriguing.
