Game Thread: Spurs @ Thunder - April 4 @ 8:30 PM CST

[Strategic]

To elaborate, I don't think the Spurs are contenders right now, but if they aren't, then no one else is besides Miami. We're probably the only team that can give them a run over 7 games. Of course I'm worried. Manu isn't 100% and we don't have nearly the cohesion that we did last year.

But again, those things have a habit of fixing themselves. I think if we're healthy, we're the best team in the West and probably stand the best chance to make the Finals. That's all I can ask of a team that was supposed to be too old to compete back in 2009.

Knicks may be able to give Heat a series.

I'm glad the media didn't fall for his for my daughter bull when he left Dallas. Well for the most part.

Tbh there is few players I don't want for them to ring again and Fisher is one

[hater]

what an awful halftime show

ing terrible

[Johnny RIngo]

TP looks like he's not feeling up to par tonight. too bad.

Parker playing like , once again, against an elite team.

[Cry Havoc]

By that you mean they might win a game, correct?

[FkLA]

If Parker wakes up

Good luck with that, timvpimp.

[twincam]

He looked pissed after he hit his last shot. He was upset the time before he didn't get the foul call where he got hit in the head.

I noticed that too. He gets a rebound and immediately starts to run down court. The man can dribble and score almost at will.
He needs to become a primary scorer. We need his energy.

[100%duncan]

well last year he was passing more and so was timmy, i am fairly confident in saying that they are slowing down the offense a bit comparing to last year.

He's better this year than last year.

Parker playing like , once again, against an elite team.

I just started watching the game. Is he playing bad because they're defending him well or is he just playing bad?

[TE]

Parker is clearly not 100%. That has some to do with not playing up to par the last few games (Including this one)

[timtonymanu]

A mix of both. Though he isn't as aggressive as he usually is.

[Strategic]

Hoping for more than that. It might help the west if someone from the east gives the heat a series and they have a 3-1 advantage over them this season.

Just playing bad. He said if someone here was right, he's hurt. Westchuck's been guarding him.

I don't disagree with that overall with the exception of the Spurs not being healthy and playing well. I don't know with everything going on that they will fix themselves and I am not confident of that. Could it happen? Absolutely, but right now, Spurs don't appear to be able to beat OKC but that could change rapidly (which I do hope for).

[TheyCallMePro]

Leonard and Duncan are playing great. Tony Parker is a no show. Our bench is MIA. And our defense is horrendous.

Parker hasn't been right since he got back from the injury. Before that, people would criticize him for hogging the ball. Now he's being criticized for giving the ball up too much. His shot was around 60% before he got hurt; now he is shooting poorly.

Anyone who suggests that he is just lazy or asleep has not been watching him play for much this season, or else has their head up their ass.

[100%duncan]

Here we go again.

[FkLA]

People making excuses for Parker, as if him disappearing like this hasnt happened before.

[BatManu20]

Danny Green gets lost on D, costs us 3 per par

[bklynspursfan]

Ugly start on both ends

[crc21209]

Perkins = made . Taking an extra hit on Timmy after the foul was called already...

[100%duncan]

TD got bailed out there.

[NASpurs]

Spear chucker with the foul
