Game Thread: Spurs vs. Thunder - March 11 @ 7:30 PM CDT

[Darius McCrary]

Diaw singlehandedly cut our lead in half with one play.

[TDfan2007]

Sobering fact: Timmy's one on one defense has taken a nosedive since his injury.

[Brazil]

You didn't hear? Everything the Spurs do is on Manu

At least when tp is out, the only one to have a good life with spurs fans is Tim

[BillMc]

Love to watch Leonard develop.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

i just don't know why diaw's so scared to shoot 3s

[maurolv]

it's hilarious to see the mood of this forum go in such bipolar directions
we were down by that much and came back that quickly. guess what, it can happen to us just the same if we get too confident about it

I've said it before. We have the most cyclothymic fans on the NBA.

Tim is excused for life, tbh

[Chinook]

Green's pull-up three was the second-best play of the half, in my opinion. If he can hit those consistently, his play-making ability will increase dramatically.

I haven't read the game thread yet, but I hope the meltdowns in the 1st quarter were mild, tbh..the Spurs are missing their best player and only consistent shot creator, huge loss, obviously..

I still expect the Spurs to lose this game, but nice effort so far..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Tiago has been our best player IMO

[EVAY]

WTF is up with Manu's FT shooting this season? I almost trust Splitter to hit them more than Manu lately.

He is such a rhythm player and has had so many injuries this year that he is just still out of sync. He can come back and occasionally play brilliantly, but we all expect too much of him anymore because he used to play brilliantly all the time and can't really do it at that level consistently any more. He is still the most fun to watch though, although Leonard is quickly getting about ready to take that mantle away from him.

[Richie]

This game is a perfect example of how the Thunder miss Harden. If Harden had the ball instead of Westbrook in the last 5 minutes, the would score no question. He'll get to the line or hit shots.

[BatManu20]

If Diaw could shoot the 3, this offense would de devastating. He almost single handedly hurts this offense cause he gets so many open looks, and just holds the ball. The defender plays way off of him cause he's not a threat to score. I love Diaw's passing, but we need a stretch 4 badly.

[ShoogarBear]

Gary Neal, 6 assists?

[hater]

Diaw was wide open just inside the line for about 5 seconds. he chose to turn it over.

[ElNono]

Jack jumping like a little kid on that Kawhi dunk

Diaw can shoot the three as well as anyone. He just chooses not to.

[SpurPadre]

not sure if mentioned but maybe Pop has a new defensive adjustment: when Splitter is out there, put him on one of the guards , seemed to work during that stretch in the 2nd quarter.

Hmm, we'll see but they had Fisher out there more often than I would've though, tbh. But what will the offensive adjustment be when Sefolosha slaps TP again should the teams meet in the playoffs?

tbh, I expect the Spurs to lose this game too, but because OKC is unguardable... I expect plenty of whistle in the 2nd half

[spurspokesman]

Screwed up alsowhen he passed up a wide open look and picked up a charge smdh

[EVAY]

Unfortunate but undeniably true.

[Mugen]

God help us all when the refs realize KD hasn't shot a free throw yet.

[HarlemHeat37]

Green's pull-up three was the second-best play of the half, in my opinion. If he can hit those consistently, his play-making ability will increase dramatically.

He can barely dribble a ball..if a defense focuses on him, which will be the case in the playoffs, his only production will be generated from open 3s, as usual, which isn't necessarily a bad thing..

[Budkin]

Just caught up to half. How many times is Diaw going to pass up shots??

[SpurPadre]

Neal with 6 assists? In one game?! What the is this bizzaro world or something?!
