Game Thread: Spurs v Thunder -- Game 6 -- Thu (5/12) -- 7:30 CST (3:30AM Riga)

[Arcadian]

We got this. The Thunder will not beat us three times in a row. No ing way.

[spursistan]

I personally think this thing is over..Spurs have lost other times playing (and coached) better than what has transpired here after G1 in this series..(Actually they put a better fight against the Clippers with all do ented handicaps last season)..

You just get the feeling the Thunder have grown confident with each game and after each Spurs' self-aborted run...They are going to ride the crowd and refs to clinch the series..They won't pull a Hornets and we don't have a Wade in our roster..

What I'm most interested in is the window we are going to get into future of the Spurs in this game..what the main core of LMA/Kawhi, is made of ? will they go down swinging or just completely shrivel? If it is the latter, then dark days are ahead us before even TD/Manu officially call it a day..

[NameLess Scrub]

Are you guys ready for Timmy's and possibly Manu's last NBA games?

Don't miss this game. Maybe they can even announce it and get some pity treatment like Kobe.

[spursistan]

At least give TD/Manu the chance to wave us goodbye at home ..

[houston spurs fan]

If Duncan does truly retire after this. He should play one game at the ATT center he built next year in November and call it a career. Don't go out with a loss in freakin' OKC...he deserves better than that.

If they both know that they are retiring they should tell the team before this game. No need to let the media know, just teammates. If they retire without telling the team before this game, that's just wasted motivation.

I know some Abuelitas praying their hearts out tonight.

Spurs are a small 1.5 pts favorite tonight according to the market but will it stay that way? Increase? Decrease?

Before game 5 we opened between a 6 and up to 7.5 pts favorite but before game start that had shrunk to between 2 and 3 pts.

Trends like that are usually quite telling...

Like when SA was a 7 point favorite in Game 5 and lost?

So OKC has had calls go in their favor. Confidence growing. Hitting big shots from all of their players. Rebounding well. More free throws in 4 out of 5 games and yet? SA has been in every game, including the past two with double digit leads.

OKC may have confidence. They may be hitting shots. They may present rebounding problems. They are getting calls. They are dominating the free throw disparity. Spurs are still right there. The Spurs have the higher ceiling to change fortunes.

those 7 points shrinking yes, meaning all the money (including the smart or wise money) went on the Thunder.

That's what I meant usually being telling.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

But I mean it's basically a deemed a toss-up and I'd expect it to stay that way.

On oddschecker it's Spurs odds that's been shortening a little on the majority of the bookies that they list.

[look_at_g_shred]

When was the last time we were favored in an elimination game on the road?

[hooperflash]

4 hours

[Boogie Munster]

I'm gonna take a shot every minute Kyle Anderson is on the court to cope with the loss.

[Robz4000]

I'm gonna shotgun a beer for every offensive rebound given up by the Diaw/West combo tbh.

R.I.P

[Mouth is Bleeding]

I will not be able to tolerate any more Kyle minutes unless it's a limited part when others get rest from small-ball rotations killing the Thunder.

If once again he'll be on the floor when KD and/or Russ is in for OKC and Kawhi+Danny is on the bench, then I'll smash my tv. Everytime it has happened DREAD just comes rushing over me and I'm basically ready to concede the game, the series, POP, my life RIP.

Jesus ing christ just writing this it seems unreal that this scenario has actually happened, but it has over and over KYLE ANDERSON VS KD, and even if not exactly major minutes OKC and KD has been absolutely killing us whenever it did.

This has been very costly and not staggering certainly Danny is inexcusable. Hopefully Manu can also have some more minutes.

[SupremeGuy]

Me and my robdiaz gonna go light some candles at the shrine for tonight. This got serious.

[smaka]

Short sleep and then game time... I can only hope the Spurs show some heart tonight and don't lose 3 in a row. Believe!

Go Spurs Go!

[Gametight]

I'm not optimistic about tonight's game but one thing I know for sure is we are definitely capable of putting together 2 good games to win this series. They just need to do it and the ref's need to quit ing us.

[Brazil]

Time for Jax quote... If you are scared go to church tbh

[siraulo23]

Its been a great ride tbh

thank you timmy and manu

[BillMc]

Byron Scott picked us tonight. I feel better already.
