By the the time Pop put him back on in the 3rd the horse had just bolted.

he was a -11 if i am correct.

Putting aside the horrendous refs we saw tonight, how many of our many turnovers were unforced? I didn't see many. I thought most of them were forced turnovers due to their length, speed and athleticism. The length is gonna be an extra if and when Sefolosha comes back. The team is gonna have to devise a heck of a game plan to find answers to that should we meet them again in the WCF. I believe we've got a shot but how would we get it done? In '12, Pop's big answer was to reinsert Manu into the starting lineup but that wasn't enough and neither was Jackson going ham in Game 6. So, how would we turn things around if we meet up again?

That is the question man, hopefully the answers come soon.

See this is what I don't get about many fans around the league.. Spurs go on a great 19 game winning streak, lose one game and suddenly they're underdogs? What the ? Spurs were on a back end of a back to back, while OKC were resting at home for four days. Of course that's not gonna end well.

So what? OKC sweeps the Spurs in the regular season. Wow. Okay. Nice. Cleveland did that too in the 2006-2007 season. And what happened? Spurs swept their asses in the finals.

All I hear around other League message boards is that OKC is too good for the Spurs, that the Spurs can't beat them, etc.. Bull . Tonight is one game and you bet your ass the Spurs will take care of business on the playoffs like always.

Spurs regroup, get healthy, and go into the playoffs with a gameplan to beat RefKC.

True, but Parker was -4. But who clearly played better? Mills clearly. I use both those cheeky imposters (eye test & stats) together tbh.

We're not underdogs against OKC? lmfao I'm gonna root as hard as but I'm not going around pretending healthy OKC doesn't have the odds in their favor.

Who gives a what other boards say, Tony Parker can't score against OKC's length and we have to play perfect basketball to beat them. No agenda/spurfan/thunderfan sensationalism can illustrate better than what we see on the television.

oh and more B2B/refs excuses, awesome

2006-07 team not the same as this one. Hasty to think they can pull one off. Different team, different landscape. We aren't going against James and Ilgauskas and frickin Donyell Marshall.

People are giving too much credit to the Thunder because of that backdoor sweep in the WCF. Harden was a huge part of that series and a major reason why they won 4 straight. Our regular season struggles with them don't mean , tbh. We used to struggle with the Grizz and the media and fans alike would overreact when we would lose a regular season game to the Grizz, but what happened in last years WCF? Swept their asses and we own them this year. Same with the Clippers, even the Heat give us problems in the reg season yet the Spurs still took them to 7 in the Finals. I will worry about the Thunder when and if they beat us in the playoffs, until then those ringless gots and their fans can go themselves in their trailer while doing meth and watching thunderstruck on local tv.

Great take, son.
