2014 Playoffs - Round 2, Game 4 - San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Trailblazers

[Nathan89]

Why the is Kawhi on the bench?

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu's airballed 3 seems to have changed the game. Instead of down 1, Blazers go on a run and build a real lead.

Airball 3 and that Batum 4 point play basically sealed the game for Portland

[DPG21920]

Manu with some of the worst misses I have ever seen too. It's not just that he's settling for 3's; he's settling and his 3's are barely even hitting the rim (or not at all).

[superjames1992]

This is not an exageration. Manu actually cost us the game. Airball 3 when game was close, next posession gives them 4 points. Next posession guards Batum like a re and +3 for them

Such a simpleton view per par.

Spurs are doing a walk through. Shows how easy it was to beat Cleveland in that series 4-0.

[KaiRMD1]

To be fair, Spurs fans did believe we'd lose one in Portland

[CGD]

Manus play this series is very concerning. Not worried about this series but the next.

[Cry Havoc]

That's no excuse, Spurs cannot execute, & have not played with any effrort

Let's play a game of 1 on 1. When you go up to shoot, I'm going to pick you up and throw you off the court. When I get the ball you aren't allowed to come within 3 feet of me. Then I want to see you talk about how you need to do more to win the game.

Spurs can still win this tbh. You guys gotta chill the up

[timtonymanu]

Cliff jumper in a series that ended up being 3-0.

It could be worse, we could be ending this game 2-2. The Blazers are capable of flukey games too. We win this Game 5, if not tonight.

[NYspursFan]

From the minute the game started did not like our energy. Blazers will not give us this game we need to earn it play hungry and desperate. Terrible game.

[Cry Havoc]

He's a thunder fan.

[RD2191]

A contender would win this game

ING THIS

Just get it to 8 going into the 3rd. Our defense hasn't been there all post season. Needs to show up right now. We have no chance against OKC if we can't play D for a quarter against Portland.

Yeah anything <10. I don't know if it'll happen tho. This team looks like they don't give a .

[DPG21920]

don't mind Lillard hitting 3s... he's been a good 3 point shooter... but Batum is a 30% shooter and his shots have been contested.... but he does go through this streaky ...

Well he's hit some pretty big 3's all season and he punished Manu down low too and got confident. Every time he has Manu on him he knows Manu can't bother his shot and is just abusing him.

I just don't see us winning tonight, tbh.

[KaiRMD1]

Here we go, time to make a run

It's not the second quarter dude it's the third now!

[FromWayDowntown]

The officials have nothing to do with this. This is a big time effort from the Blazers and a complacent effort by the Spurs. The fact that they hung in the game for a while seems to have just made them even more fat headed about this game. Now they get to play again on Wednesday against a team with some renewed confidence.

I keep thinking you are Designated T

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw. Chip away at the lead.

[ElNono]

lots of poor performances tonight... Manu front and center... but also Danny and Tim for stretches... Kawhi was underwhelming on offense too..

Looks to me Pop doesn't mind throwing this game though

[Crookshanks]

To be fair, Spurs fans did believe we'd lose one in Portland

And I'd rather it be this one when the Spurs are up 3-0. If the Blazers had won game 3, it would've given them confidence and it could've changed the series. Now, they're desperate and they'll probably get this one game - but the series is over.

Not really. Not one person in the Spurs organization gives a flying about what anyone here feels or says. We don't control the outcome. We can be as sheep-like as we wish... baaaaaa....BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
