Game Blog: Spurs @ Thunder - Game 3

[SpurPadre]

Blair should play over Bonner no doubt but the big adjustment has to be how to counter that asshole Sefolosha defending TP.

[Supergirl]

You guys are going to when the Thunder do this again in game 4.

they won't. Spurs will adjust, Thunder will fall apart again, and Spurs will find their groove again. BELIEVE.

good point by announcers, Spurs got outtoughed tonight, we need more Blair next game less Bonner, heck Less Splitter if he doesn't play better than he did, some one to get up in Perkin's grill.

Agree to a slight extent. It is cliched, though, and too easy to throw out the "tough" card.

The story tonight was Sefalosha. He took away the guy that our offense runs through.

No it's not. OKC needed to win this game - they would be dead in the water if they went 0-3. And the refs were only too happy to oblige. So, Pop, reading the situation correctly, pulls his starters for good in the 3rd, and the game becomes a rout.

Spurs will win game 4, OKC probably squeaks out a game 5 win with more ref help, and Spurs will close it out in 6. That's my prediction.

isn't game 6 in OKC

Spurstalk fixing to be unbearable until Saturday's game TBH.

Probably. A win can't be expected every game but play with conviction and make it respectable. Nothing more or less.

[InRareForm]

This is going to be a hard series now. The time to kill them was tonight but the Spurs didn't show up to do it.

Now they're going to be playing well and the series is going to be tough.

We could lose this series

hahahah wow.

Same logic as I might cross the street and a car could hit me and I could diee!

[spursparker9]

Is it just me or I feel that bonner's posture of running kinda look like an idiot?

[Knoxxx]

The subsitutions were just pretty weird tonight. Not enough Leonard, too much Bonner, then logically Blair was the first relic we should have dusted off not James freakin Anderson.

Also Brooks FINALLY found his best five, which was as simple as benching Perkins for Harden, DUH.

Against that OKC lineup, certain people can't seem to play at all, Splitter comes to mind.

[Libri]

Reporters are going to be terrified to ask Pop any questions.

[sammy]

This game sucks! Too many turnovers, Parker playing like and throwing crappy passes to Duncan and another turnover! Can't buy a free throw from the refs and these little es ratching up the score after Pop pulled starters in the beginning of the 4th! Really, if they get hurt they deserve it! All of the hacking and grabbing and no calls! I would so love to see some hard fouls from Blair or Bonner, who did nothing tonight except throw bricks! After, that Sefolosha did not even attempt a shot at the ball and went for Manu's throat! I wanted some payback for that !

Oh well, Spurs in 5! you OKC!

[Supergirl]

isn't game 6 in OKC

doesn't matter, Spurs can win in OKC

[rasho8]

Blair would do good on the glass if he tried.

[Spurologist]

SpursTalk has seen this story countless times but we're probably due for another meltdown.

[TE]

I hope Blair gets some burn next game, I can't believe I'm saying that.

[SpurPadre]

You guys are going to when the Thunder do this again in game 4.

Are you even a Spurs fan? What's with the defeatist mentality. We ARE winning Game 4. Stop with that bull .

bonner is such a clown, should never see the floor

Blair getting double figures in garbage time.

[Quiet Strength]

lol blair. At least he can score against okc's scrubs. Bonner cant score against anyone.

[ShoogarBear]

bonner is such a clown, should never see the floor

He certainly never sees the rim.

Spur player of the game: Blair

[Supergirl]

People here don't seem to get it. Pop saw the way the refs were calling this game and pulled our guys early - Did anyone even play 30 minutes tonight? I don't think so. Pop would rather give this one to OKC, let them pump themselves up like they've actually done anything, and get back to business in Game 4. He's done it before. In just about every playoff series I've watched him coach, in fact.

[pikkiwoki]

blair earning more PT next game
