Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC -- Game 3 - Fri (5/6) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga)

[wildbill2u]

Parker still part of the Big 3--just a NEW Big 3. We can't win without his scoring and playing well. There is no one else to be the 3rd scorer.

[unleashbaynes]

I just like how both Leonard and Parker had huge nuts and there's nothing for either fanbase to argue about

[weeks]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!

[BillMc]

Not sure how they won the game, but wow. Props to that Spurs D.

Good defense, idiotic plays by OKC at the end. Usual formula for beating them, tbh.

[GSH]

When Kawhi forced his way in for that dunk, the game changed. Up till then, the Spurs were up but it felt like they were losing.

[SupremeGuy]

do you understand how the cat crew works? Parker had a huge game, clutch FT. Kawhi has a good game, clutch FT. IT's literally a tie between troll factions. You always seems to be a day late and a dollar short.

Haven't you already been exposed as a lolakers troll?

[ducks]

Parker said they want game 4

[baseline bum]

nce to tie or win. Not smart a


That would be the dumbest play of the year. Thunder score quickly and the Spurs have five seconds to inbound the ball. Spurs can't get the ball inbounded and the Thunder have the ball underneath their basket with a chance to tie or win. Not smart at all.

Didn't the Spurs have a timeout? Worst case scenario they shoot a 70 footer to win if they steal the inbounds.

[SpursIndonesia]

We need a Tony Parker symbol or something.

This is a blasphemy after a fabulous night by TP, but what the heck ......

[Kawhitstorm]

What ing shoes are Kawhi wearing? Dude needs a new pair...

He started the series by slipping & falling after a dunk on the first possession

[BillMc]

When Kawhi forced his way in for that dunk, the game changed. Up till then, the Spurs were up but it felt like they were losing.

Yep. That and when he ripped that rebound away from Kanter. It was like seeing KL take another step in his career, willing a team to victory!

[dbreiden83080]

hahaha, Derek Fisher is on NBATV...you can tell he's pissed.

ing jag off that guy. Hit the luckiest shot maybe in the history of the league.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop with praise for KD in post game, CIA move

It's also exactly what they did vs Cleveland in Game 4 of the 07 Finals when Manu hit the FT to go up 4 with a couple of seconds left. Damon Jones shot a meaningless three to make a one point game.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Adridge came back down to earth a bit and we still secured the win. very satisfying game!

I will happily take Aldridge coming back down to earth in the form of a solid 24 point outing.

[99 Problems]

TP was great. Danny's D super in first half. Kawhi, kept slipping all night which worried me but great. Westy solid. MVPatty big 3 and got charge up other end, big plays.

Ibaka, man, stop him lol. Kanter, man, this guys a nice player. He's Spurs like.

[Slime Baller]

Pop and Becky with the matching blazers, heh.

[itzsoweezee]

Why did the Spurs even contest that three? That could have easily been a foul call and he hits that and it's ing OT. If I was Pop I would have just put all five players right in front of the Spurs bench. The are they doing out there where they can get called for a foul?

Watch the replay. West was like 3 feet away from Westbrook when he took that shot.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Huge stat to differentiate these franchises: Kawhi and Westbrook both had 31 points. Westbrook took 31 shot attempts to get there. Kawhi did it in 17.


Bonus: Spurs won the first, third, and fourth quarters.

+1

I thought ripping the ball from Kanter was really huge for Kawhi and for the team.

[Russ]

34-20 FT edge for the Spurs at OKC.

Please shut up forever about "Thunder Refs."

[Mikeanaro]

Those final 3 minutes were unbelievable these ers keep shaving points missing calls and giving fouls that always are against the Spurs if not we would be 3-0.
You must perform like a machine making no mistakes but the other team is human and they need help blablabla.
Name just one game that was Spur-reffed...

[J_Paco]

Even in the win God it is depressing to see Tim playing so few minutes. Just saying.

I understand that West is more mobile of the two, but the son of a had just 2 rebounds. He was getting absolutely eaten alive by Adams and Kanter on the boards.
