Relax man.

Will do! Friday night in Riga, hard not to.

Yep. A 1 point loss after a 32 point win and he's convinced. Imagine if Manu/Patty/LMA had made that last bucket? All they would have talked about all week is how OKC blew another 4th Quarter lead. The teams would effectively had played the same, but the narrative would be completely different.

Loved the Slater in game tid-bit when Pop pulled Manu and asked for the called play. Showed the team in general was outta focus.

[TheDoctor]

first game i'll get to watch live
they'd better tear up that thunder pussy tonight

As long as OKC can consistently keep LMA's offense looking like prime Hakeem we good The Spurs just need the rest of the players to up their intensity and focus a notch.

Yeah. Good point. They'll be focused tonight.

That point also shows that after all these years Pop still has no problem lighting into a future HOFer. As mentioned many times, that he and Tim and Tony take it, is an example to Kawh and LMA and the roleplayers.

Alright baby Game Day!!!!!

[SAGirl]

It was all in fun. Hope you're enjoying your time here SAGirl. Most of us don't mean to offend. Keep postin'.

I know you don't Bill no offense meant or taken.
Don't want to make that a schtick either.

[Dex]

I'm sure Game 2 left a bad taste in the Spurs mouth. And now they've got some end of the bench scrub talking trash about our MVP.

Awaken the beast.



FTT.

[DesignatedT]

More Boris Less Duncan. Tell Leonard/Wings to crash Defensive Glass.

[hater]

More Boris Less Duncan. Tell Leonard/Wings to crash Defensive Glass.

Definitely agree with the first part

[Silver&Black]

Bout damn time....

[Mugen]

I just want Pop to coach an okay game. Just give the team a shot tbh.

[SAGirl]

Pounding the Rock says no West, no Parker-Manu pairings and we might consider going small against the Thunder.

Thanks for sharing that. I agree with Gomez on West. This matchup is tough for him and his rebounding issues are exposed, so is Diaw, but Diaw's range and versatility make a him more likely to be able to punish them but he has to be willing to hit from 3.

I think Pop will not overreact and will stay big but give more minutes to Boban than D west. We shall see.

[Arcadian]

I've avoided ESPN and sports shows all week because of that loss on Monday.

Let's go out there and play ball.

Can we please stop trying to run our offense early in the game through Tim and Tony? Thanks. I want either Kawhi, LMA, or Danny to shoot the first 15 shots for us. Everyone else, just get out of the way.

Danny? Ew no. Only if he gets wide open looks.

[Budkin]

Just under 3 hours until we get this going!

Let's take control of this series again

I'll pick up your wife.

I'll pick up your wife.

Nice.
