Ibaka hit shots. Harden made a killer.
Tip your cap they're the better team.
No shame in losing to the better team.
what a wasted performance by '05 Manu...
Manu and SJAX really the only guys showing emotion out there.
We have to close out quarters better.
Have to take care of the ball, too many TOs when driving into the paint.

Duncan looked slow the entire game, had not played good defense the entire series.
Duncan looked scared in crunch time, did not want to take open jumpers
Parker played great defense in second half but it obviously gassed him.
So much for that "I'm only 29" talk
We wasted a good manu game, but set the same time, he turned it over way too much
On tip of that, the refs ed us multiple times on our own court
Yeah, all this "pride" and "heart" bull . They ed up as an entire team 3 losses in a row.
Proud of Manu and Jackson!Played hard the whole game! ing refs made it difficult for them to come back and played against 8 all night! So close, the ball was out on OKC touched his arm, but what do we expect they were against us all night! ing fans didn't chant refs suck until it was too late! Lame as fans! Not giving up yet on my Spurs! They hadn't had a losing streak in a while so they can win the next 2! I still believe in this team! Go Spurs Go!
Except the Spurs completely morphed to a turnover prone, no ball movement defensive seive.
George Hill would have played better at point than Neal.
Deep is overrated in playoffs, the best players make the difference. The OKC big 3 were better than the Spurs big 3. Spurs bigman rotation is not quite as good as OKC's.
The game was lost in the second and third quarters, it was difficult to come back against OKC being 12,points down. Kudos to Manu for great offensive game, Parker disrupted Westbrook and the OKC offense that's the adjustment to make for game 6, Duncan and Jack made some clutch shots.
The Spurs had to play hard earlier, not just in the 4-th.
Please, dont blame refs.Proud of Manu and Jackson!
Harden & Westbrook both hit amazingly tough jumpers in the final minute.
Props to them.
Hope we take Game 6.
After that goaltend what was the next play? Was that the 4 point play by harden?
If so, that was a huge momentum turner.
There is no big 3 in OKC. Westbrook is piece of . They have Durant, who is clutch as , with Harden and then there are roles Ibaka, West , Fish, Perks, Cook, Collinson. No big 3. Dont give any le to Westbrook
It's all about conditioning. If TP doesn't play that way on a regular basis and then has to do it now, of course he's going to get gassed.
Cutting minutes back doesn't build stamina. Players have to be conditioned and build stamina at the same time. Something Pop doesn't seem to know about.

like the announcers say, no one played good except Ginobilli and maybe SJax. I can't be too mad at Tony he carried us all season BUT he couldn't even get off against Fisher, it's not just the myth of Sefalousha
No fast break - no win. Big ing surprise.
BTW, how's that genius job of tanking game three to let the Spurs sit there and think about it working out?
Westbrook is playing a little smarter, otherwise they wouldn't be up 3-2 in the series. They've ripped off the Spurs game and are beating us at our own game with ball movement.
If Westbrook totally bought into it and didn't go off on his hero mode plays then they probably win tonight's game by more. He froze out his teammates at times tonight.
They can't get stops anymore when they absolutely must. Defense is still > offense.
Only losers tank. Spurs never tanked games in their championship years.
It never works out.
They're too fast
Every thunder player beat their man down the court every time
Well maybe Pop can say to himself the offense was good enough, but the defense wasn't good enough.
In 2008 when we lost to the Lakers in 2008 WCF he said the defense was good enough, but the offense wasn't good enough.
Hey Pop, it was always about defense.
Jax being real in his interview
"If they can do it, we can do it."
We're going to be in the Finals. Book it.
The Thunder are just better--too fast, too long, and especially more clutch this series. Every single time they have NEEDED a shot in the last three games, they have gotten it
They are growing up before our eyes, including Brooks as a coach, and unfortunately we are the victims.
It is not impossible, but it does not look likely right now.
I don't think there's anything left for Pop to do. I'd like to see us take some more chances on defense and risk them getting by you for a dunk. This whole giving Ibaka jumpers bull is not working.
That's what I am thinking. If they had competed in game 3 they might have actually had a chance. That's a looser mentality that they were going to turn it on for game 4.
I love Jackson and am glad I was one of the only people here for the last 3-4 years that wanted him back. Actually make that 8 years cause I wanted him back in 2005.
It's up to Pop is game 6. I have no idea with Pop's crap coaching and lineups if we'll have a chance to follow through on what Jax said.
