Game 4: Western Conference Finals / Spurs vs Thunderefs @ OKC!

[01Snake]

Where is Mills??

[hitmanyr2k]

Mind games making okc starters work vs our scrubs sending a message to our starters it's what pop does

Messages don't win playoff games. A message should have been sent in the last 48 hours after Game 3. You don't ever waste a chance to win a freakin playoff game. We've seen so many improbable comebacks in NBA history. The Spurs just had it down to 12 and OKC is starting to play like . Why waste the chance?

Why the would you put the starters in when they got us down by 25 tbh? This 3rd unit has show more heart than any other lineup the last two games.

To check if those called startes, learn a lesson..... Bench guys cant play for 20 minutes..

[eDizzle20]

The starters effort tonight was awful. The bench guys won't win this game, but at least you can see their effort.

[$pursDynasty]

not the starters but put some 2nd stringers in there, Danny and Patty.

[ElNono]

Sure you are.

One of those turnovers Westbrook was out of bounds…two were from bad possessions by Green that were laid at Tony's feet.

Parker was absolutely and appropriately chagrined after the last game - and Ginobili was the one star who showed up. This game the starter that showed up tonight was Tony.

Your sarcasm does not always disguise your meaning, my friend.

I'm not blaming him any more than any of the starters + Gino. You don't have to tell me what I think, I know very well.

His heroballing along with Manu was incredibly stupid, and one more reason we lost this game.

My sarcasm simply states the obvious: words are cheap.

I'm not sure how keeping this lineup out there is "quiting." The starters are .

These guys brought the Spurs back to a somewhat respectable margin, and they deserve to be out there. The starters are the only ones who quit

[spurspokesman]

Go hard or go home

[$pursDynasty]

KD is in

[tim_duncan_fan]

We're as soft as the Pacers are, tbh. Lucked into the Finals last year.

Pop being pop nothing new here

You play to win...your starters are your best players

[spurs1990]

How many teams have overcome a 15+ pt 4th quarter deficit in a road playoff game?

I'm guessing a couple if any. Pop is right. On to game 5.

[TheGoldStandard]

Have you not been paying attention to the pump faking that the Spurs have done the past two games? It hasn't worked with ! Take it to the rack or don't go at all.

lol, it worked a few times this game.. better than being two steps behind ibaka and then trying to float it up over him, lol.. He jumps at everything... everything.

[SupremeGuy]

Pop, why not have at least Green and Kawhi out there? They're young, they can play even if we're getting blown out. Maybe Green finds his shot again. I understand not playing the big 3, but come on man!

Completely agree. Same reason he refuses to play Baynes more, he's just being stubborn.

[Mal]

14 pts game with 9 min left.....

[cd98]

I'm watching recording of game 2 and remembering happier times.

[.G.]

ing refs

[mclinejr]

I'm sure Pop has his reasons, but damn.....

[smaka]

Chimp stat padding. You know injuries like to happen that way.

[Admidave50]

Extremely bad coaching, WTF Pop

We were lucky that our bench got us closer. Dont push our luck, cash out, and put our starters in

this when Joseph,bonner and baynes are showing up splitter,Duncan and co. Then this is what happens

Bro we lost this game before it starts.. Don't blame anyone.. The whole team sucks..

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't understand playing your 3rd string bench to get them into a rhythm, it's not like they're going to start game 5. Play your starters so they can knock down shots and get confidence.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That's the first ticky tack foul Durant has been awarded all game, tbh...
