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

I think that Pop was complicit in throwing the game, if not actually instigating it.

Eh, no offense but that's just stupid imho.

[DPG21920]

Spurs actually took care of the ball a bit better in the 2nd half and didn't put them on the line too much, but it was all and-1's it seemed like. Spurs just didn't hit shots, gave up too many offensive rebounds and had some costly TOs despite the limited overall number.

Normally 11 TO's is manageable.

The historic backdoor sweep 2003 Yankees style begins..the basketball gods love Oklahoma City..they're going to gift us Portland for a WCF opponent..

you look extra happy and chatty tonight

Amazing that Pop gives up with a whole quarter left

Yeah I hate when he gives up so easily!

[Nathan89]

Pop put the bench in to end the third tbh. Since they didn't do anything the starters never came back

[DMC]

Two minutes left in the third.

12 minutes.

Two separate answers. Pulling the plug doesn't mean playing the 1st string bench guys. It means putting in Ayres. When did that happen?

[Ice009]

Haha everyone is thinking this Portland team was gonna be easy.

I certainly didn't think they were going to be easy, but giving up the series like you are with a 3-0 lead is a joke.

[UZER]

How much time was left on the clock when Pop pulled the plug?

I've been calm all night but Batum on Parker is something to watch. I doubt the Blazers win Game 5 but if they do then watch out.

We were struggling more because of Tim and Manu and not Tony.

[Mugen]

I hope they push it to 40 tbh

[weebo]

Blazers just played with more effort tonight...Spurs didn't bother to give a

That's my thread. Get your own material.

Pulling the plug meant not playing TD and TP at the start of the 4th tbh.

Jus wait and see. There are too many Spurs homers in this board to be able to see how many flaws the Spurs have. If the Spurs shot is off, they lose. Like tonight. There's no Defense. Point guards blow past Parker and become all stars. Offensive rebounds is an issue like tonight.

Oh, please!!! Lillard IS an all-star and Parker has outplayed him three games to one. Give it a f&^%ing rest! Everybody played poorly in this game.

That guy always post like a cuckold. I don't think he's positive ever.

Wtf! All of the scrubs are in! Wtf!

My Nono..always, my ..

At Reggie saying this 2nd unit for POR has shown up big tonight when Robinson is the only bench player out there right now..

[UZER]

Looks like nobody really brought it tonight. Pop hasn't even yelled at anyone either. Oh well.

Someone beat you to it..

I've been calm all night but Batum on Parker is something to watch. I doubt the Blazers win Game 5 but if they do then watch out.

Parker was 50% from the field, but no one else stepped up to make POR pay for putting Batum on TP. Just awful from everyone else. It stifled the ball movement some, but TP still got good looks.

Well yeah because it's more entertaining watching the cliff jumping than watching the intentional tank job I saw happening near the end of the 1st half when Leonard intentionally misses that 3. You see, I'm a pool player and I know you miss small if you're good but you still miss sometimes, but the Spurs all missed big and that's because they aren't accustomed to intentionally missing shots.

Think what you like, but the refs were in on it as well. Why watch the magician when you've seen his trick book?

[weebo]

refs tryin to even out calls now

[crc21209]

2nd unit? Hey Reggie! That's our 3rd unit out there with Joseph and Ayres...
