Singing off till next game. Cliff jumpers and trolls would be unbearable til next game.
The nba got their story with the returning hero hopefully they'll be satisfied with that and not ing rape us again. When a team sets an nba record for ft disparity in a quarter don't tell me it wasn't the league. Hope our guys get pissed off and come back angry.

That makes one of us, I feel sick
Can't imagine the refs will set another record in game 4. We won't shoot that bad again also. Lots of unforced turnovers. We just have to take what's there.
I sincerely wish the refs would make it more of a mystery instead of it being as blatant as 22-0. Get your together ol' sports. Whatever, next game, Spurs will break it open and kick their in
It doesn't matter whether you're scared, unless your name is Tim Duncan. Your name is not Tim Duncan, is it?
Game 4 will be closer. Right now, though, Ibaka's return made a huge difference and - I hate to make this comparison - the Spurs went out and did what they did in 2012. Took the first two at home, then showed up in OKC and let the Thunder mind them into playing ting desperation ball, and got blown the out. Three games, three basically identical outcomes. I still don't think the Thunder will win 4 out of 5, because DESPITE similarities to 2012, they're a role player down from that series and the Spurs have just gotten so much better since then.
I'm not shocked the Spurs lost tonight. I am shocked that Ibaka's reinsertion into the lineup made Parker into a little stain D-Leaguer. The Spurs have no shot if Parker doesn't go hard into the paint.
Can pop get this ing guy on the move a little bit defensively? All I saw tonight was him sitting in the paint waiting for people to attack. How About some pick and rolls make this mother er move laterally a little bit..
I am of the assumption that Scott Brooks was going to go with Ibaka anyway if not for anything else get into the mind of TP which wourled wonders tonight. That being said, we lost by nine, on the road, Parker playing like a scared rookie, ft debacle in the 3rd qtr, and everyone else really laying an egg outside of Manu. For us to only lose by 9 should right there be a sign of encouragement.
I'm very encouraged we didn't have killer instinct tonight these s can't beat us without ref help.
I think Pop's the kind of person to gauge something's effectiveness before making decisions. He could have and should have made a switch at halftime, but the Spurs were pretty much already cruising for a loss with how Parker was playing. I'd expect different plays on Ibaka in Game 4.
Lost by 9, but were down 20 when Pop threw in the towel. Garbage time FT's and bricks from OKC's third stringers made this a 9 point loss. In reality, it was 20.
Oh ok. I didn't watch the game I was just following the score from m phone. Each time I checked the score we were only down my 7 point or so. I guess the lead swelled during the few minutes I couldn't check it. I shoulda figured from all the meltdown post that what you said more than likely was the case. lol
Hovered between a 4-5 point deficit and a 9 point deficit until Mills hit a corner three that SHOULD have cut the lead to six but was called for a questionable offensive foul and the basket was wrongfully disallowed. From there, the Thunder erupted and pulled away.
This and then some. The outcome is much different than in 2012. Games 3 and 4 were non-compe ive. This was much different despite the fact that the Spurs played like crap.
They couldn't let it come down to execution this game because it would have meant OKC goes down 3-0. If they give a about avoiding the WWNBA perception that is out there it will be more difficult for them to call it like game three. We will see it sure looked like they didn't give a in 2012 but who knows how they gauge the importance of not writong the script too much.and over influencing the outcomes. It looks like this team has the firepower to execute and overcome

I was disappointed in how the Spurs played tonight, but I'm not surprised the Thunder won. It was a must win game for them - the odds are against a team coming back from 0-2, but the Thunder did it in 2012, so they have some confidence they can do it again - but no team has come back from 0-3. That desperation, plus the resurrection of Ibaka, just about guaranteed a Thunder win. It didn't help that the Spurs played probably the worst game this playoffs, and the refs kicked in with lots of home cooking in that 3rd quarter - so there's lots of room for improvement. Now, if the Spurs play this badly again in game 4, then I will be worried - but not now with just this one bad game. No one thought the Spurs would sweep the Thunder, so we can't get too upset with this loss.
The NBA didn't care in '12 too. Rig me once, shame on you...rig 4 games, media still will cover it up for you.
The defense was poor. Got to move your feet or the refs will call a foul.
We lost one game in the Conference Finals against a very good Thunder team playing at home. Whatever...y'all knew a sweep was unlikely, even without Ibaka. Now that OKC got their "home crowd win" in, the Spurs will close this series in 5, per par.
It's going to be a Spurs-Heat Finals rematch, folks. Y'all know it's coming. Get ready.
Completely agree. I don't understand how Randolph and Gasol beat OKC's interior so easily and Splitter and Duncan are so ineffective.
Like your thinkin' man!
The combo of randolph and gasol is worlds tougher and more physical than splitter and duncan and not to add they are just as talented offensively
That foul on Patty was complete and utter bull . Couldn't believe the call
maybe you shouldn't intentionally foul, and there won't be such a disparity. Or maybe you should get aggressive and attack and there won't be a disparity. Whining about the fouls is weak. You got beat. Plain and simple.
