The refs did everything they could to make Andre Miller the patsy tonight but Durant going cold from mid range saved the day for Denver.
I was surprised at the final FT differential. Denver usually gets the kind whistle at home, even against a ref-coddled team like OKC. Nice to see Denver pull it out int he end.

OKC's playmaking down the stretch was:
Durant ISO. Brick.
Durant ISO. Brick.
Durant ISO. Decides to drive, gets the layup.
Damn, that sucks, guys.... it's crazy that all of the top point guards in the league (CP3, Parker, Rose, Ra'on) have missed or will miss significant time this year....
Maybe a bigger sample size will change things
Anyway here's the thin silver lining:
Parker gets to rest and heal the rest of his body
Mills might lose a few pounds
Splitter might be able to prove he can have more than just a supporting role
Duncan/Manu get back into form
Godspeed
You know, Lebron has never had a serious injury that's kept him out more than a few games..
Definetely, we're the San Injury Spurs.
Why always happen to us and the ers from okc and miami stay healthy for all the season?
Miami lost Bosh for half the playoffs last year..
Maybe the Spurs will actually peak at the right time this year. They peaked too early the last 2 years. Parker just needs to be back for the playoffs. Whoever we play in the first round will be relatively easy - a tune-up of sorts for later rounds.
Well, Dwyane Wade is pieced together with duct tape he benefits from Lebron being a freak o' nature. Hopefully this will make the Spurs a stronger team on the whole.
Again, the first 48 hours is so key. Spurs have a head of the class training facility and I expect that the Docs and trainer, Will Sevening, already have Tony on cryotherapy keeping the injured ankle cold to minimize the swelling. Once they control that, then they run the MRI to see the grade of the sprain. Since he came off a jump, the velocity is such that it's amplified...HOWEVER...when I look at it, it's not that he just turned it to the side, his foot came forward at the ball first and then he turned. In that case, that's not a bad thing, it means he didn't just go straight to the side for a typical inversion sprain which would result in a higher grade injury. Grade 2 means severe stretching and that is 2 weeks no on court play and then however long until training and Pop feel he's good to come back.
The possible complicating thing is if the force was re-directed and then became a high ankle sprain, that means it involves the ligaments not only in the ankle, it also includes the ligament above the ankle that joins the 2 lower leg bones. When that gets injured, it's an automatic 4-6 weeks of just straight healing. Let's hope that the syndesmotic ligament aka tib-fib ligaments aren't affected.
Again, it's critical to minimize swelling and then to see the alignment. I've hypothesized from the Duncan scare that I feel a team as equipped as San Antonio already knows what a normal x-ray or MRI looks like for TP. It's how much difference between normal and the ones taken after the injury that will help them determine course of action for treatment. It's the beginning of March and that means the teams have 6 weeks until the playoffs give or take, let's just hope TP's ankle is a no more than a grade 2 sprain and that he is a quick healer so we see him on the court in 3 weeks limited with the 4th week a giant uptick in minutes player to help Tony get back what he calls, "my ritim."
I plan on watching the team there at the end of the month and I hope to see him on the court.
Go TP...heal thyself!

Watch as he's rushed back for the OKC game.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but his left ankle did land on the foot of Thomas.His left ankle didn't land on the foot of anybody according to this image:

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Parker would likely be out “a while” after rolling his left ankle on Sacramento guard Isaiah Thomas’ foot following a layup with 4:40 left in the third quarter.
Early indications are that “a while” could mean a couple of weeks.
He'll be back before the POs, it looked kinda bad but he hopped right up and didn't grimace too much. I'm sure he'll be back on the court soon. Maybe this will force the Spurs to learn to play without TP effectively
This looks like 2005 Timmy all over again
I hope he gets back before the playoffs
Well, this blows but nothing to do now but throw the other guys in and soldier on. As long as he is back by the playoffs is the main thing. This is where De Colo and Mills need to use their brains.
Hopefully we've been CIA Popped, Tony has looked a little fatigued of late.
Now we have to play shut down defense. Thats a good thing.
The Spurs have played elite D over their past few games. Their O just wasn't there in the OT losses @GS and vs PHX
The Spurs have one of the most best offense in NBA history, and Tiago is about to be freed. Tiago is about to put the team on his back.
most best?
That's right, .
Doesn't that mean two?
