Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Game 3

[EVAY]

Just swat the graphic that Duncan is 8 of 24 for this series. He needs to step it up, and if they go small, he should have a terrific night.

I'm thinking about pussying out and sleeping through the game so I can just check the score afterwards. It's been so long since a loss I don't know how to take it lol

Come on man you gotta enjoy the ride while you can! Good and bad.

The fouls are gonna play huge roles in these games in OKC.

Couldn't agree more with this. I'm very worried about how many whistles OKC is going to get in a desperate attempt to make this a series. If SA wins this game, it destroys public interests and kills OKC's chances entirely. The NBA needs OKC to win this to keep the "good conference finals" alive and interesting.

I'll put it this way. . .if the NBA really does "fix" things, then there's no way OKC loses this game. The better the Spurs play, imo the more FTAs OKC is going to get (and almost all on their good FT shooters too, not just on anyone on their team) to keep them in it or keep their lead(s).

Since I'm cynical and think the NBA fixes games/drafts, i think the Spurs have no shot tonight unless they shoot 60% to overcome the lopsided officiating that's inevitably going to be taking place.

Lol having to flaunt Oklahoma's success on National TV when it's irrelevant to anything on the set, great political move for the governor though tbh.

I found it funny too lol but a very smart move to do so

Let's get this one tonight and put the Thunder in the dreaded 0-3 hole. Step on the throat! Sweep the leg! Kick them in the balls!

Believe.

Know how you feel.

I hope the laws of physics aren't changed after tonight's officiating. If this is a fairly officiated game through four quarters, I like our chances.

Don't. Take advantage and watch it. Even if we lose, it's still Spurs basketball. The less fortunate like me have work tonight and will miss it .

[mVp]

Come on Spurs I want some nasty tonight!

Sweep OKC!

[timvp]

Toughest game of the season.

Believe.

I would too if I didn't believe the NBA is fixing this game. OKC has had no answer for us so far besides getting a bunch of calls in a row. So unless we're just cold on open shots, I don't see OKC outplaying us legitimately. What changes are there for them to make exactly? All three of their big three went off in game 2, they had ref assistance in the last 15 minutes. . .and they still lost by 9.

Basically OKC had a perfect game from all respects, but we won anyway due to unstoppable offense. We basically have to be cold while OKC plays a perfect game and gets more calls in order for them to win. I ain't worried unless we're gonna see some Lakers/Kings game 6 type calls in OKC's favor.
