[Play Boban]

Sucks the game isn't until Thursday. Guys are going to be rusty tbh

LOL, I was wondering if someone was going to say something.

[Russ]

Puro pinche spurs puto!!! Fuk the chicken nuggets..... Downtown 210 is going to be live as once we win, .... I suggest you join us for a night of honking, drinking, yelling, and acting a ass..... Then heading to the airport to greet em, best fans in all of sports!

I think the team is flying straight to Portland if they win.

Things I'd like to see (and that I think might actually happen):

-Continue to stagger DWhite/Derozan's minutes. Bot should be getting 35+ tonight tbh barring any foul trouble
-Jak and LMA each getting close to 40 minutes. The big lineup is their best bet unless one of the bench guys are dynamite from 3.
-Continue to single coverage Jokic with a rare double team. The Spurs will lose if losers like Craig, Beasley, Barton, Morris are going off. Stay home on them.
-Make Paul Milsap beat you. Whether it's rotating off him to double or defender or the 3 or letting him try to score on Aldridge.
-Everyone, I mean everyone is crashing the defensive boards. They lose this game if Denver controls the boards.
-DWhite trusing the jumper. Let it fly, you big foreheaded mf'er. Let it fly.

[TimDunkem]

DD goes into hero ball mode.
LMA can't hit a jumper.
White gets into foul trouble early...again.
Wombat gives up 25 points.
Spurs lose.

[benefactor]

The stars(and up and coming star Derrick White) need to be stars and Rudy and Grande Beli need to show up. Those things happen and it's on to Portland.

[Maddog]

I was encouraged by Thursday.
Let's get this.,

[Ignazzz]

Tony Brothers???

Tony Brothers???

Yep, and we are the away team...

[vavvi]

Win or lose, as long as the team plays with heart tomorrow, I’ll be happy.

Precisely. Intensity and composure!

All of this.

Also I really hope they can win because I think the Spurs can beat the Blazers too and get to the WCF. Also Rockets can very well beat the Warriors too so who knows what can happen.

2012 Game 6 at OKC.

San Antonio Spurs 99, Oklahoma City Thunder 107

Oklahoma City wins series, 4–2

Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Referees: Joe Crawford, Bill Kennedy, Rodney Mott

[FlAVaK]

Brothers has also received scrutiny, in particular, for targeting the Denver Nuggets in a handful of games. Denver center Nikola Jokić has fouled out, or been ejected, in multiple games in which Brothers has been a referee.

[smaka]

^that doesn't sound too bad, tbh

[FlAVaK]

In one stretch late in the fourth quarter, Michael Malone and Jamal Murray were whistled for technical fouls. Malone, apparently for clapping and Murray for asking about a call. Tony Brothers appeared to have an axe to grind with the Nuggets and the stretch saw three questionable offensive fouls called on Nikola Jokic, that fouled him out of the game.
