Game blog: Spurs vs Thunder game 6 -OKC on their way to their 1st Finals

[Ice009]

KD is just out of the ing world. That's why the Spurs don't stand a chance the rest of the way. Just like our season, this first half is nothing but fool's gold.

you and Durant.

[AnthonyM]

That's a good thing. If the Spurs can beat them at their best, they will win the series. Beating them when they aren't playing well one game doesn't give me any warm fuzzies unless it's game 7.

Good point, but I just want a win!

Its crazy how they hit (meaning OKC) so many "momentum" or "Just Enough" shots. Westbrook step back 3, Harden draped 3's, Durant prayer 3's....They do just enough to keep them in the game or stomp out momentum. THey have to start missing a few of those.

To be fair, we're shooting 60% from three-point range. Thunder have to be thinking the same thing.

not sure as to why Westbrook was on TP defensively for most of 1st quarter but that really got TP going..

that's fair but tp forced Brook's hand. Tp was scorching Sefalosha hence the move to keep Westbrook on tp. If Sefalosha isn't having much effect on tp, his minutes will be very limited.

Damn, my paws are sticky after that first half.

[Brazil]

anyway Spurs have no chance to win that game...okc is toying with us... they win that by 15

[phxspurfan]

I definitely downloaded doo doo jump, instead of streaming Durant's game winning shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Durant played the whole 1st half. I know he's young but damn he'll better get at least a little tired

[Actually]

Thunder by 20+

spurs 0.2% winning

[Dex]

Can't believe we lost after that great first half.

[timtonymanu]

OKC just coasted through that first half while we gave our all. We're ed in the 2nd half. Only champs like OKC know how to close it out.

[RashoFan]

Thunder by 20+

You and Lefty doing a reverse Psychology/ Mojo/ voodoo thing?

[DPG21920]

To be fair, we're shooting 60% from three-point range. Thunder have to be thinking the same thing.

I am not talking about the normal run of play shots. Agreed the Spurs are shooting lights out, I am talking more about the momentum, tough game changing shots OKC seems to do a great job of making.

[it's me]

Hope TP s all over us.... not over yet.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thunder will have a 24-0 run and never look back. We're ed

[Richie]

More nervous now than before the game. Now we have something to lose.

Tbh, I think if OKC can't manage to cut our lead to single digits by the late 3rd, it's going to turn into a bukake with SA blowing them out by 20+.

I'm still paranoid about ref favortism for OKC, but thus far I would say they haven't gotten more than a few bs calls so far, which I can live with, as opposed to a ton of them like they've been getting last 3 games. Course. . .knock on wood, there's still the chance Stern gets up from his seat in the stands and adjusts his tie to signal the refs for the fix.

[DPG21920]

Lefty, your thoughts on the first half?

[Arcadian]

Charles Barkley. That is totally disrespecting Parker, saying he can't maintain this level of play. WTF? He has 21 points and 10 assists in one half. He's the best remaining PG in the playoffs. If this were Derrick Rose, nobody would question him. that.

[ace3g]

did shaq just say yabadabado ?

[Spurologist]

Shaq yelling on live tv

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Did Shaq just say "yabba dabba do ?"

[spursfanincolorado]

Where is the OKC fans on here?

Its only half time but I bet that smug look has evaporated of their faces for a bit....

GSG - wrap this up Friday

[noles1983]

yabba dabba doo lol

It's gotten to the point where I just expect those shots to go in. Hopefully the pressure starts mounting, but they're pretty stone-cold.
