We were down 15 and lost by 6 and Blair will be taking all Bonner's minutes. Best thing about this game.
You talking about Leonard? He had 17. Not impossible for him to do.

Bonner -8 in 2:05 minutes is ing awesome.
But Leonard had the worst +/- with -12 and surely he was our best player tonight.
I don't give a about +/- stats
Bonner played only 2 minutes.He sucks but we can put the loss on him.
OKC is going down game 5! There is no way their big 3 scores like that again. Their home crowd gave them the lift they needed to excel.
Plus no more Bonner will help. Kawhi rocked it tonight. He has shown he will be a player to contend with. Wow- really impressed. Parker sucked balls tonight and Manu made stupid turnovers.
Another thing is that our role players will play way better at home and I'm pretty sure Ibaka, Perkins, Collins, and Sefolosha wont play this well in SA. They wont be as jacked up energy wise with the help from the crowd...
8 of 9 is pretty close to 11-11, especially since when you factor that KY took plenty of 3s.
Tbh Pop wasn't that bad today. He made some good adjustments. They spread the floor better, the game plan was good. Diaw and Green both had lots of wide open shots. Diaw didn't hesitate this time around, last shots just weren't falling. Bonner got a shot to redeem himself, but he was horrible. Him being together with Green on the floor with both players looking for their ball sacs, was a a really bad stretch though.
Thought Parker was hesitant and hesitant while dribbling a little too much. Manu can play a lot better. TD was struggling a bit with his own demons in the first half but gave good effort nonetheless. Refs were horrible. Ibaka couldn't miss, Perk was getting away with a lot of things offensively, leading to easy baskets and KD was a monster in the end. All things considered it was still a close game. Jack and Leonard are getting really confident heading to game 5. Blair (with playing time) and TD will have a chip on their shoulder.
There's no reason to not be hopeful for a game 5 win.

Westbrick scored in single digit, Harden didn't do much better I believe, it's 99% likely that their big 3 scores more in game 5 tbh.

Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. 'Nuff said.
Agreed. TP and Manu getting cute with passes causes a lot of needless turnovers...Duncan came around in the 2nd half so I'm less concerned with him ting the bed as the series goes on.
I'm actually energized by the second half of this game. No Bonner, TD hitting shots, Kawhi tearing it up. Look at the box score for the Spurs, that's a win any other night when Ibaka/Perkins aren't on god mode (which never happens for either, much less both at the same time).
Don't be scared, homies. This is awesome. Make love to the pressure (no rubber).
It will always be hard to counter the fact that Durant can play almost the entire game. He played 43 1/2 minutes tonight and could still play like that in the fourth quarter. Ibaka played 41 minutes.
For all the kudos for Durant's scoring, he also had 8 assists.
TP had only 1 turnover.
I'm talking about Perkins, Ibaca and Collison.
manu 6 turnovers wow
duncan shouldnt hold on the ball too long, should always decide where his going to score first b4 receiving the ball, and attack straight away b4 the defender settles his foot...
parker and gino needs to limit their turnovers....
Turnobili needs to play off the ball with a real PG.
It's not as simple as Bonner playing like . He's mentally weak and scared less out there.
If everyone goes back to the first game of the season against the Thunder, Bonner the bed and make Collison look like a superstar. Remember kareem collison olajuwon? The first game of the season against the Thunder told the story of Bonner.
How in the Pop continued to play Bonner in this series is beyond me. Before this game started it was obvious that he shouldn't play, but Pop decided to play him in the exact same situation as game 3 and the Thunder went on a 10-0 run again tonight. I really think that cost us the game this time as we were playing great at that point, unlike game 3 where we started poorly.
Perkollibaka! All the big men on the team were pathetic leaving these guys open and not even putting their hands up.
People around here need to stop making assumptions. If you're going to play defense and leave players wide open like that and not even put your hands up, they sure as could have another great game. Splitter was atrocious at defending these guys. He didn't go up to them or even put his hands up at all.
Not happy at all with Splitter's soft ass play. Finesse bigs stink. GET DOWN AND DIRTY TIAGO.
tp had 1 yes one turnover
spurs had 10 tonight
So what's your call? Have you quit?
Game 5 will be a battle and the Spurs can definitely win it.
Home crowd MUST bring the intensity. Can't have a lazy, fat, soft Spurs home crowd for game 5.
Tiago Splitter Is Having A Bad Second Quarter
Spurs big man Tiago Splitter committed a turnover, nearly committed another, and has been punished defensively in the beginning of the second quarter. His combined defense with Boris Diaw (as Tim Duncan gets a breather) has been laughable. Serge Ibaka hit a wide-open jumper, Thabo Sefolosha and James Harden have scored buckets at the rim without much contest. Splitter has been more than passable so far in this series — especially in the Spurs' victories — but he's been an absolute negative in Game 4.

Unsurprisingly, Duncan replaced Splitter after the next timeout.

Wouldn't be the first time, tbh.
Carig Sager in his short red drawers-omg, please stop!!!
