Game Thread: Spurs @ Thunder- Dec. 17 @ 7:00 PM CST

Hey hold up guys. I saw Abaka throw the basketball in the air but it didn't go within the cylinder. Is that allowed to happen, tbh?

Could be worse all things considered

Down by 5 . Ill take it.

The Thunder are a Manu type player from owning the league tbh.

Parker has zero to work with, whilst Ibaka and co. have everything to work with, as we just let them shoot.

OKC announcers said that was a hip check lol

Parker is making plays out there attacking the paint fk what ya heard

Haven't played great but down 5. Not the worst half, expect Durant to light it up in the 3rd and blow us out.

That turnover by TP killed some momentum (would have been nice to cut the lead to 3 or 2), but all things considered, great game overall and fun to watch.

Yep, but you can't compare Westbrook to Nash (on the receiving end).

These OKC announcers are terrible.

If the Magic offered us JJ Red for Gary Neal, would you guys do it?

good chance ... there were some close games for the Thunder in the 1st half, but they overwhelmed many opponents in the second. But also they did not face the Spurs but many not so good teams during their 11-0 streak

Diaw with the Robert Horry special. Hope it means Abaka's suspended one game tbh

Saw that too, he took 3 steps.

Durant is easily the toughest cover in the league. He'd be a monster without the calls but the touch fouls make him virtually unguardable.

Way (not to) bring it tonight.

Nine points on six shots. Six assists and the one late turnover. Numerous breakdowns of the Thunder's defense. Getting Westchuck to go into Westchuck mode by overplaying his right hand. Parker could have hit another shot to be 3-for-6 but other than that he's been pretty damn good.

You mean like Harden?

Mostly at home too, so they definitely benefited from home cooking.

but they called Tim Duncan "The Big Discount" because of his cheap contract

Parker's been part of the reason for the Spurs last few losses. The Spurs just can't out score the other team when Parker's on the court.

This... if Neal weren't missing point blank layups the game would be tied

Westchimp shooting better than Parker so far... pretty strange tbh
