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

[Mouth is Bleeding]

watching post-game listening to these redneck oklo ians and their dumb-ass questions

almost don't mind Pop being an a-hole

[kobyz]

I used to think this was true, but honestly I'm not sure you understand how difficult it is to play against that big of a ref impact. The sad thing is I expected it to be almost that bad, so it wasn't quite as hard to take.

No, you should focus on the spurs and pop how mental midget they are year after year...

[Arcadian]

See, this is why we all worried when Scott Brooks was replaced. They massively upgraded at coach.

[Harry Callahan]

Screamin A Smith obviously has an agenda on ESPN. That poor performance and loss by the SPURS, in his opinion, was due to LMA. PLEASE. Does he even watch the games?

The BENCH DIED in that series. David West was awful. Manu could not make any plays. Mills was really bad.

Kawhi and LMA did not get enough help this series. Danny Green showed me a lot out there. He competed hard and did a good job.

Tim Duncan busted his butt tonight - I hope he comes back, but his knees may not allow that.

Tony Parker was average at best. 34 year old point guards don't discover the fountain of youth.

SA needed more good play from more people and did not get it. Every key player on that Supersonics Squad that played is under 29 years of age - they have not had many long playoff runs since they eventually always flame out.

That Oklahoma team reached the brink of falling apart and the Spurs bailed them out.

That group will probably lose in 5 games to GSW. I'm not that impressed with a bunch of undisciplined, out of control volume shooters that beat a team with two good front line players and a legend past his prime. The Warriors will go through the Supersonics like through a chicken, you can count on that.

[kobyz]

Then don't watch and stay off spurstalk - lowlife troll.

Yes, I was a fool letting me get once again engage, I should have known better that this season would end once again in the most disappointing and hurting way knowing we so cursed team... But now with Duncan out i will have much less emotional connection to the team, but i still have to live with that ugly way he is walking off instead of retiring year or two ago...

[Harry Callahan]

Outshot 31-16 at the line and outrebounded by 10. The refs let them play and Spurs can't match that physicality.

Now OKC will get to deal with all of Draymond's moving screens.

If they let them play, how come OKC shot 31 FTs? They did not let them play. Twice as many free thows for OKC. That included 2 tech FTs for the 16 for SA.

Three of those FT were Anderson at the end too, right?

Thunder are good at drawing fouls. Spurs are good at avoiding fouling. The former won out.

LMA lost them game 5 with his choke ass play so he's not completely wrong.

[spurtech09]

Shout out to the real MVP's.....Congrats to the refs.

[Mugen]

What? No they didnt. Donovan is a lateral move at best...

The Spurs just have had a massive coaching downgrade since 2014 tbh....

[kobyz]

So now you all see that there is no doubt we are a cursed team and that the all time biggest dissepointments we always having are writing from above and inevitable? Adding now to the story a 67 wins team and 40 home wins team melting down and collaps in the semi against a lesser team with rookie coach and that the superstar head is more in free agency and thinking where his next stop... Cursed team! Accept it!!

Cursed teams don't win 5 NBA les.

[kobyz]

Cursed teams don't win 5 NBA les.

They do if 5 is very very underachievement and with all those heartbreaking and dissepointments we had like no other team in history of sport!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Most ugly, sad and humiliating season that could have been, i preferred even not to make the playoff instead of this, at least would not have the dissepointment and humiliating of a great regular season discover as a pretender and losing once again in falling under the pressure fashion... We are a cursed team no doubt for years now and it's only getting worse!

Agreed, somewhat. I called this season a nightmare after the Game 5 disaster. 67 wins, but it always felt like this team was doomed to collapse. I think we'd all be whistling a different tune if the Spurs instead lost to Golden State, but nevertheless this feels like a devastating waste. Duncan probably gone, Manu probably gone, Aldridge arrives yet flames out the day after his old team did, all after a record season that will only be remembered for the what ifs.

[Horry Hipcheck]

I'm done with this NBA season, but I hope Golden State embarrasses those ers in 5 games or less and then it, let Cleveland win it all.

[gameFACE]

Recorded the game. Debating whether I should watch it just so I can see TD's final game or wait until later.

[kobyz]

Was hoping for one year as it's Tim final year we would have a break from being a cursed team but it's just get worse with 67 wins team losing in playoff like no one in history and another all time biggest dissepointment in our side...

[Kawhitstorm]

If LMA stayed in Portland he would go fishing at the same time. Thats just sad...

Unlike Carmelo, he knew he wasn't worth the SUPER max & did the right thing by leaving money on the table.

[Kawhitstorm]

Curry, LBJ or Westbrick will ring. That's a ing sandwich. I don't see much reason to stay glued to the tele. This is good news for the league though. They're gonna get their ratings.

I want a Cavs/Duds rematch to settle "injury" agendas to bed once & for all.

Gaymond/WestBrick & Adams/Bogut is must watch TV by itself b/c of all the shenanigans. Barnes is also going to be fighting for his job.

[Kawhitstorm]

Adams should be able to beast against GS. Especially if Bogut doesn't heal up.

Sideshow Bob/Speight aren't going to roll over like Diaw/West. Ezeli is most likely going to bang w/ Kanter.

I know you are a stupid troll account, but try a little STFU from time to time. OK?

[Darius Bieber]

Seriously this team. How could you score the LOWEST POINTS IN A HALF DURING THE SEASON IN A ING ELIMINATION GAME? 31 points. Golden State got almost 20 points in a 5 minute overtime period. Spurs deserved to lose this series and deserve to be a lottery team next year. There was no heart. It took a 40 year old GOAT Tim Duncan to carry this team in Game 6. That's pathetic.

[SASdynasty!]

Like my HS science teacher always said, better luck next year.

[kobyz]

I know you are a stupid troll account, but try a little STFU from time to time. OK?

That's what I belive, you have a better idea why all those "miracles and wonders" always happened to us?

[Indazone]

K-Mart only got 5 min? ugh
