Game 2 loss: How's it feel OKC?

[thunderfan]

OKC. I don't get people who can hate Lebron for his decision(which he apologized for and said he understood why Dan Gilbert was angry). All Cleveland lost was one player. A really, really good player but still just one.

OKC's ownership group LIED to the fans in Seattle and stole their entire team along with their history. A team led by Kevin Durant that's in the finals right now. That is bull .

Uh huh. An if you lived in a city with no pro sports team and they moved one in I'm sure you wouldn't support or attend any games because of the injustice done to Seattle.

SA got pummeled for long stretches of that series
Out hustled and outplayed. They were sloppy, flat, turnover prone, and couldn't hit open shots. That's why they lost the series. I suppose you just want to forget all of that and look at a few questionable calls late in game 6 and blame them losing the series on the refs.

Once again, as far as I'm concern i haven't seen which team rightly prevailed cause of a few questionable calls late in game six. Basketball is a game of momentum and it usally come in stretches so when a controlled source such as an official is preventing and/or creating momentum it not only influence a game, more time than not decides a game and i'm tired of seeing it. I have nothing against OKC, Durant is my favorite non Spur player but as good as they are that series was going to seven games, and as far as i'm concern we all missed out what could have and probably should have been an epic game seven.

I never said OKC fans should dump their team, they are after all "your thugs."

Never said OKC fans should not have accepted the team since they were stolen from elsewhere.

Just that your team played like a bunch of heads, got away with it, and I agree 200% this should have been settled in a game 7, in S.A.

We all know that.

As for Harden, should not OKC fans be embarrassed by now about his gross flopping, finally admit that the he did in Game 6 was complete BS, and apologize to all Spurs fans worldwide, the game of basketball itself, and even James Naismith for letting things devolve into that?

After all the Spurs play the Naismith way, unlike your goon squad.

Wow, that's charitable, I think I had about 10 blown/missed/bad/non calls.

Your statements are laughable. You've got no less than 3 players on the SA roster that flop so regularly and blatantly it's a complete joke. Then you want to run your mouth about Harden flopping? What a hypocrite.

[thunderfan]

On top of that you come out against this thug move of Perkins of pulling a jersey when you've got Tim Duncan who will regularly do the same exact thing when he can get away with it to compensate for his ailing athleticism.

[Harry Callahan]

You are becoming a tiresome troll.

Go to thundertalk and because you might be able to impress someone there with your basketball knowledge.

The Supersonic's accomplishments pale in comparison to the Spurs, even though they have been in the NBA since the late 60's (being on OKC guy you may not realize realize that).

I will give you Manu that flops, but I don't see the "at Least 3" as you state.

Can you give me examples of Duncan grabbing jerseys "numerous times" like Perkins did? You cannot.

I don't recall him resorting to grabbing jerseys and I've seen him play hundreds of times. Dozens of times the last two years.

Duncan can play straight up still and anchor a defense even now.

Enjoy the Thundersonics championship run. Greed and immaturity by the players outside of Durant will corrupt what is a good thing right now. Just you wait when its time for the underlings to get paid.

Supersonics management will not max out their next two guys in Hardin and Ibaka. They will have to be creative. It may not work out.

[thunderfan]

SA has a more successful history than the Supersonics. Great. I knew that. What's your point? Thats out of the context of the conversation. No one cares about your little pop shot Thundersonic references. People in OKC just laugh at those lame references. Enjoy the offseason.

[Harry Callahan]

My point is you like to point out all the shortcomings of a group of players that have accomplished a ton. You can't seem to take ANY criticism of your team at all.

You are a thin skinned one - that's my point.

Enjoy the OKC success while it's here. They probably will beat Miami.

I don't understand why you are so concerned about what the fans of the old ass Spurs think anyway.

Haven't you moved on to bigger and better things?

"Enjoy the offseason" - WOW! What a comeback.

BTW, you didn't answer any of my questions. Why not? Because you don't have an honest answer.

Go to Thundertalk, so you don't get your feelings hurt anymore.

[Knoxxx]

Well I think we have a clear case here of the truth hurts. TF is just sticking up for his team though, I would not quite play the troll card for that.

I am sticking to my assertion that Miami, the lesser of two evils at this point, has the goods to handle OKC, and your off season will be no better than ours.

The jig is up on Harden, the refs have finally figured it out. Stripped of the "superstar calls" advantage too, your team will come back to earth quite quickly, as it should have been a series ago.

[thunderfan]

I'm only pointing out these "shortcomings" in response to the assertion that OKC wins in a dishonorable fashion by way Of flopping, erc. I'm simply pointing out that one shouldn't really label another team's players as dishonorable when the players on your own team do the same thing. Not once did I ever come here and just out of the blue start saying negative things about any players. I've generally said nothing but positive things about spurs players. I'm about as thick skinned as you'll find. I have noticed Harden getting fewer calls. That's fine. No arguments from me. I don't like flopping either. He will have to adjust to the way the game is called. I also do not disagree that Miami can beat OKC. I don't have comebacks. I honestly was wishing you to enjoy your offseason. You chose to take it otherwise. What was your question? Who flops? Parker, Ginobli, Duncan, Splitter. They all do it. The first two are top notch floppers

[thunderfan]

You were the one coming up with BS that's completely out of the context of the conversation. Thunder sonics an the spurs have had more success, etc. Irrelevant. Noone cares. What am I supposed to say to that garbage? Ok Okc we screwed Seattle. Fine. Beside the point. We are talking about a guys assertion that okc won dishonorably by doing the exact things the spurs are guilty of themselves. Then talking all this bull that SA plays it the Naismith way. Lol. That's so absurd and hypocritical.

[thunderfan]

The Naismith way. Real honorable.

More honorable Naismith basketball by the Spurs in the WCF. I could keep going and going if you want to keep claiming OKC plays dishonorably.

I think you are getting a little unhinged here.

You must be some immature college kid, huh?

You sure sound like it with this ranting. Calm down, kiddo.

I've not made any personal attacks or assumptions about you and I don't care to respond to ones made against me. I've only disagreed with your opinions. I do not make personal statements about people I don't know. Apparently it is you that is unable to disagree with someone about basketball without making personal attacks. Thats too bad.

Please. I wasn't born yesterday.

Wishing me to enjoy my offseason? That is the snarky rambling of a child. Grow up.

"They all do it?" That's all you've got.

The only player that puts himself into that position of drawing the charge a lot is Ginobili. Parker and Manu absorb a ton of contact on the offensive end of the floor. Parker does not regularly draw charges. Duncan rarely draws charges. Splitter will flop some, but he didn't play much in this series. Sorry, your comments are not really accurate.

When you start to post a smattering of profanity in your remarks, what am I supposed to think? A rational person with self-control is on the other end?

[thunderfan]

I've stated my opinion. I don't have anything else to say on it. All teams have their floppers. SA has more than 1. Cry foul on the refs or the NBA if you want to go the pathetic conspiracy theory route, but don't act as if Hardens flop is anything different from what the spurs do.

[Harry Callahan]

BTW Harden tripped Parker on that so-called flop if you watch closely. Sorry, your point was not really made in that case.

I am impressed with your ability to search and download You Tube videos. Congrats.

[thunderfan]

The " okc" was an exact quote made by someone else that I found to be ridiculous. I was simply using the same phrase in mockery to express how lame I thought it was. I'm sorry the word bull offended you.

Of course he did. Have a good evening.

Thanks for clarifying your mockery.

Good luck as your point has been made, I guess??

Oklahoma City Plunder.




you ers stole the sonics. that team will never be yours. thieves.

41 years in Seattle and in 3 years you think that team is yours..... off.

...and the only reason that stern let you guys in so fast was try an erase the memory.....but it ain't gonna happen.


You would think a town that had 168 people killed by a tragic event would know what its like to have its heart ripped out.

YOU SUCK.
