Game 5: Western Conference Finals- Thunder @ Spurs

[therealtruth]

I'm tired of hearing Pop say in the post games that " adjustments don't matter" or " x's and o's don't matter" - it is how hard you play and how smart you play."

Well, dammit Pop, what the are you doing about any of that?!!? And doesn't it just work so well for you that it is all on the players?! Aren't you lucky that they are simply insufficiently motivated or too dumb to win the games that you have put them in to play?? Because in some situations and
on some teams, the GD coach might actually be required to take some damn responsibility for a team collapsing!!?

You have called out Parker and he took the public humiliation and all the responsibility for Game 3's loss. He played better than any other Spur not named Diaw in game 4, but your comments were just a broader brush than the game 3 comments!!

When the do you take any public responsibility, Pop? When? Because I know that basketball is not the most important thing in the world, but if it is your damn job, it is also not nothing!!

Try manning up yourself, Pop!! I'm tired of your ing about your team!!

They're grown men. He doesn't have to tell them anything.

[EVAY]

They're grown men. He doesn't have to tell them anything.

Then he is getting massively overpaid!!

[SupremeGuy]

Play will balls. That's all this team needs to do. Don't let one turnover destroy our confidence. Keep going hard. Don't be scared.

[philldafunk]

That dunk reminded me of this...

I am so scared

I dont think the spurs can win game 5

I'm sorry but this is a pretty gay post. Try this. Assume the Spurs have no chance and have already lost. Then go back and realize we have home court and routed OKC twice at home. Then consider anything good we do from here "found money." From there entertain the possibility that we play much better at home and Pop tries some extreme tactic to get Ibaka out of the paint (like putting one of our best 3 point shooters on him).

I'd probably alternate Bonner and Daye on Ibaka just to with 'em, tbh.

Daye is terrible tbh

Daye is terrible tbh

Daye is tall and can shoot 3s.

"Hold me" (your moms voice)

[LakerHater]

Daye is tall and can shoot 3s.

hes not on the playoff roster

[justinandimcool]

pretty ing stupid to have someone as perfect for this series as Bonner on the roster and let the season slip away without even trying him

[21209]

If the Spurs are all about getting redemption for past mistakes, this game is the first step to showing it.

[Knoxxx]

hes not on the playoff roster

Bull he's listed right there on my "The Score" app, 0 minutes! The Score app could not be wrong about the possibility of him playing more than 0 minutes?!?!

There's some crazy stat in series' tied 2-2 where the winner of game 5 almost always wins the series. I believe that will be the case in this one as well.

didnt that happen last years finals..

[Nathan89]

In theory Bonner could start because that's when thunder have a two big lineup with Ibaka roaming. I doubt Pop is going to do it though. I expect 30+ minutes for Diaw. I'd like to see Diaw take it at Ibaka early and set the tone early.

[outmap]

We got this. Go Spurs Go!

[spurraider21]

i cant see Spurs overcomming this, !

overcoming what? a tied series?

[Rapper]

Sorry to inform you guys that this Game 5 will be our last home game in this season.

Yep the truth hurts but its damn true.

[Rapper]

How come our destiny is always like that? why do we have to lose every big game? why do I need to be hurt after every important playoffs game? why God dont allow us to enjoy the moment of winning championships?

why we have to be beat? why do we have to suffer a heart broken backdoor swept?

why?Can we afford the Game 5 loss? I dont know cause I really dont want to imagine how hurt will it be.

We have a 62 wins season the overall first thoughout the league. we have won the coach of the year.I dont want to see that we finish the season like that.

Spurs fans . we should have a remarkable summer and why?

[Texas_Ranger]

so lets not do the 2012.

[hommeaetage]

If Pop is really interested in winning that game, Belinelli has no business being on the the court tonight

[TampaDude]
