Game 5: Western Conference Finals- Thunder @ Spurs

[Knoxxx]

The questionable calls came at the exact times when the Spurs were about to catch the Thunder. Also, the FT disparity in the second half was criminal.

None of that matters now, though. Spurs in 7.

I like any good Spurs fans questioned the 22-0 free throw disparity in significant knee jerk fashion. It was hard to stomach in the context of live watching in a hotel bar. Returning home with my DVR, almost all of the Spurs shooting fouls on OKC were OBVIOUS. We played like and deserved to get whooped. OKC some credit for the perfectly scripted Ibaka return yada yada.

If you went back after cooling down and rewatched the game like I did, and don't agree, you are a BLIND HOMER.

Regardless, as you alluded to, Spurs fans unite we are back in the hunt and in command of the series again no less!

Box score was empty, but his job was to keep Ibaka away from the rim which he did well. Had a few open looks and couldn't knock them down. He's probably pretty rusty I'd imagine.

We didn't want to win by 40-50 points anyway, that might have pissed OKC off a bit too much!

ST thinks past series control the future.

See 2nd go round with Memphis after we lost to them 1st round.

Oh no it's 2-2 just like last year, it will therefore end up 4-2 again, they sweep us last 4...

Just go with a pie to the face, please.

nice win by the Spurs...now that you think of it as Kerr or was it Reggie suggesting that the Spurs might take Game 6 off and just prepare for Game 7, since they haven't won in OKCs homefloor..hmm..

i'm still pissed with the Ginobili missed dunk no foul and they gave Russel "TMNT" Westbrook a 3 free throw shot at the other end..NBA after reviewing the game should hand out suspensions or fine for referrees missing calls.

Could they have been any more depressed?

I saw that....they looked pathetic with their heads hanging down, no eye contact. LMAO!!!!

What's with Durant wearing a backpack in the press conference?

That is where he keeps a box of kleenex in case he starts crying!

[pgardn]

Scotty highlighting the FT count for the Spurs again tbh

Just a huge, huge got IMO

The sign of how poor a coach he is. That's all he's got.

[heyheymymy]

brooks is such a crybaby, im so done with this thunder team.

I am just happy prayers were answered, on to game 6.

And had we lost the game?

It's all a part of God's plan

You can never lose.

[rasuo214]

lol a lot of those extra FTs came in garbage time in the 4th (10-2).

God is always in control but I am glad He let us win this one.

All that yelling from being fired up, tbh.

I'm a little hoarse for sure. Great crowd!!

[heyheymymy]

broke the 2012 backdoor sweep curse

broke the streak where spurs couldn't beat okc with ibaka

broke the streak where okc was undefeated with brothers officiating

set nba record for streak of 7 home wins by 15+

Tim and Pop are both quitters, tbh. I am so disillusioned by these last two years.

Pop taking Tim out in final moments. Tim missing easy-ass layups against Shane Battier. Tim looking really hesitant to take any shot further than 2 ft from the basket.

It all makes sense now. I've been denying it since Tim missed that putback against the Pistons in '05 only to have Horry save our asses, but it is plain as day:

Tim's mentally weak, so is Pop and that mentality is reflected in our team when times get tough. It's not that he's just old. There is just lack of will and waaaay too much fear.

There's still room on the Heat bandwagon. You can leave your username at the door on the way out.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Spurs got more free throws bc they were the aggressors. Thunder get more when they are. Its not conspiracy.

Anyone have a clip of this? I was waiting for that moment when Manu would rise up and throw down a hammer dunk on these OKC clowns. I assumed it was a clean block but don't recall a replay that showed it. I will go back and look myself if anyone can provide the minute mark (approx) of that.

The amazing thing---almost unBELIEVEABLE thing--was that the TNT crew actually admitted it was a foul and a missed call, instead of "good acting."

did they show that fan cussing out tony brothers on tv?

[soxxx]

[heyheymymy]

They didnt show it on TV, it was when the game was 29-29 I believe, and actually after that the Thunder missed like 6 of 7 shots and the Spurs began to pull away.
