Got no choice but that really was some bull .
If you can't tell that was a team that battled their hearts out but just didn't have enough legs at the end to pull it out, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Pop went with the guys who were ready to compete. He did what he had to do. It just wasn't enough.
It happens.

Let it go bros or you'll be Looooost in the twilight zone!
I was about to book all my flight and game tickets for San Antonio 2 min after the whistle if we won.. ahh I guess it will be for next year then!
Damn proud of my Spurs, I'll be bleeding black & silver for life!
say it...... I said it for the first time..... it was so blatantly obvious the refs/stern ed us bad..... the thunder is a terrific team but... come on, let them prove they can win without all the bull calls.
You are proud that the spurs played that intense in the last game?
what about game 3 4 5 ?
On the whole, OKC didn't miss many shots, played better D and got to more loose balls. They played better. Sure we could have had a few more calls go our way but the mistakes, turnovers, poor showing by our bench were all factors leading to this loss. Good season nonetheless.
OKC is a great team.. the refs shouldnt have had to carry them to win game 6 but yeah I'm proud of the spurs. They should have won tonight.
I came to terms the Spurs weren't gonna get over the hump during the fourth quarter. But yeah, I'm damn proud of this team. They gave it their all enough for fans to know they left it all out on the court.
After watching this game though, I don't think I'll be able to take the NBA as seriously as before. Only games I will take seriously are in international compe ion like the Olympics.
They hit amazing shots but damn, the refs were ing disgusting
Before this I hoped the Thunder would go on to win, now I hope Boston rapes them.
Road games are difficult to win in the NBA playoffs. Against a great team that is hitting on every single cylinder, it takes perfection from things you can control and things you can't control.
But, no, the refs didn't lose that game for the Spurs. The Thunder went out and did what they've done all series: respond with a acious run whenever the Spurs got on a roll.
I'd weep if I wasn't so damn disgusted.
Proud of collapsing?
The biggest one in history?
Proud of this team. They left it all on the floor.
Man, I'm disappointed because we squandered an incredible performance by Jack. And this maybe it for us. The window is probably shut.
You Bill Kennedy.
What he said! oh yea glad to be back after a loooong break from posting here. Games 3-5 done it for me. we need a coach that can make common sense adjustment and not just throw players in the dog house cause they make a mistake! what a confidence breaker.
......and the big 3 era with it.
I don't get people. Spurs choked. Really hard.
They had a 2 game lead. They won 20 straight. They had home court. They had minutes managed all year and in the playoffs. They played the bare minimum games in the playoffs as is humanly possible.
They stopped playing their way. They turned the ball over. They showed poor body language. They blew the biggest half time lead in their franchises history. They were the better team and lost a series they should have won, even with OKC playing great. If OKC plays the exact same way, but the Spurs don't have unforced turn overs and poor play for entire halfs of basketball, they still win.
I know that sounds negative, but it's my honest opinion. They went further than many of us thought they could; but that was before the trade. That was before the optimal playoff draw. That was before they had homecourt throughout. That was before they were up 2-0. They beat themselves because even if OKC played the same way, the Spurs could have played better for stuff they control and they didn't.
I am with you guys. I am sad but yet proud of my Spurs. Go Spurs Go!
Well said. This team far exceeded my expectations. I really thought we could win it all this year after the first two series but OKC's young guns were too much.
They made the proper adjustments and the Spurs just couldn't muster enough to over come it.
HUGE props to RC for getting Stephen Jackson back on this team. He'd played like the man he is. This season was a success just seeing him in the silver and black.
To make it to the next level, the Spurs will need to make some more additions and keep improving. We need an inside Defensive presence and a solid back pg. Poor Danny Green failed on the biggest stage but he certainly helped us get there. He improved tremendously. Great year for Leonard too. He'll only get better.
Spurs almost did it - they played almost good enough. But time is not on their side against a young dynamic OKC team.
I wonder how much interest will LJ have with his grades next season hyhy
what can we look forward to for 12-13? We don't have a 1st round draft. We'd need to giveup talent again to get youth. Timmy and Manu probably have 2 more years left in them as productive borderline-all-star talent.
You going to make a thread for the offseason and future timvp?
The Thunder have been getting calls all season long. No reason for that to change especially when they're 1 game away from the Finals.
Spurs had to play perfect ball to win this game and they came damn close when everything wasn't in their favor.
Let the ty calls go. Be happy they made it this far and lost to the superior team.
How is it battling when you meltdown and don't respond to runs? OKC took haymakers and pushed hard. They battled. Spurs did not do what OKC did when faced with adversity. OKC's best players stepped up. They didn't disappear after having tremendous first halfs.
They are going to have to live with that all summer. Especially Danny Green and Matt Bonner. No shows.
