[Capt Bringdown]

my goodness relax!!! Spurs have more free throws! It's one game too! Give okc some credit! Is there a place where i can talk with good fans? Too many people freakin out here!

gfy

[Hooks]

Lmfao, that foul the refs called isn't even legal. You can no longer draw contact when shooting by going through a defenders arms like that.

[Keepin' it real]

Shutty.

Huh?

[WeNeedLength]

If Spurs don't regroup and come out playing smarter in the 2nd half, Pop will wave the white flag faster that you can say durantula...

[Creation88]

no resemblance of defense tonight....Thunder taking what they want...killing the pt...pathetic defensive effort right now.

[TE]

Lol damn Durant uses his arms to get space which should be called but it's not. Spurs gotta play through this officiating to have a chance. Limit turnovers, play with poise, and we are back in it.

Yeah go to spurs report and make ty threads over there you ing chump

[Richie]

That looked like Hubie Brown behind Pop. Why don't they have him announcing?

Turn on ESPN radio

[Chachachango]

Bonnnnnnnner sucks

[timvp]

Ugly half but cut it down to single digits by halftime. There is a ton of room for improvement.

If the Spurs lose this game, this series is going to be a WAR. This Thunder team ain't no joke, tbh.

Right the ship and gain your footing at halftime.

Believe.

[Manu20]

All I ask is for the Spurs to be down by no more than 10 points to end the half!

[MannyIsGod]

This deficit is on Pop, quite honestly. His rotations aren't making much sense, and he's taking too long to call timeouts to halt runs.

That said, we've manage to mitigate the damage for the most part because our plodding pace has prevented an explosion from the Thunder.

He's coached a below average half, but honestly the Spurs have been lazy on their passing and that a huge reason they are down.

Those TOs are everything in this half.

[siraulo23]

Whatever the Thunder is doing it's working

They've kept the spurs out of the paint

[EVAY]

Gotta give some credit to the Oklahoma team for figuring out some ways to make it harder for Tony to do his thing, and for Duncan to have any kind of offense at all.

Our adjustments (or lack of) will tell in the second half.

Maybe Pop is ready for this streak to be over so the Press will stop talking about it.

Maybe Holt wants another game at home for concessions and tickets.

Maybe, on a given night, somebody can play better than we play for a while. Can we come back? Yes. Will we? Dunno

[Admidave50]

Pop pushing the wrong buttons so far

I think he is trying to loose this game! lol

[TE]

Get it to five.

I thought it was still a foul just not a shooting one. But @MannyIsGod pointed out that they were most likely over the limit

[MannyIsGod]

Neal SMH

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Neal

[Chachachango]

Yeah, spurs have to end the quarter in a good way.

[noles1983]

Neal...

[pikkiwoki]

Why is Neal taking ISO 3's?

[Kidd K]

Playin some pretty crap ball right now. Way too many turnovers for us while we're not forcing them to make any.

11 turnovers to 3 right now. If we weren't throwing the ball all over the gym this game would be a lot closer right now. I expect the adjustment to be made, but OKC is going to get calls in the 2nd half. . .you have to be up already to overcome that. You can't come back if you're down too much. 1st half scoring is important as . . .

Come on Spurs, close the lead to single didgits by halftime.
