Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC -- Game 4 - Sun (5/8) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga)

Only 6 assists though, need more ball movement. Big reason this isn't a double digit lead.

[SPURt]

Wow, Spurs with more turn overs than assists. If that regress back to the mean OKC is in trouble

[Budkin]

Thunder will surely tie it up again but at least we have a little cushion.

[BillMc]

Durant and Westchuck combined 6-21

[SAGirl]

Tim with 4 fouls....

[Splits]

Kawhi. Is. A. Monster.

And no that wasn't a goaltend.

[Keepin' it real]

Pinche farmers

[Capt Bringdown]

Will Patty ever regain his stroke?

Good question. We need him - desperately.

[rastaspur]

To be a fly on the wall of that locker room right now with Russ trying to blame everyone else on the team.

Me too. Pornstache looked like he was going to seriously eff up Westbrook last game. It was hilarious. Adams would eff him up imo

[SpursFan86]

Need to come out in the 3rd and punch them in the mouth

[Horse]

Payne looks exactly like fivel that mouse

[wildbill2u]

Please God, let Danny make a couple of baskets in the 2nd half. And Timmy too if he gets back on the floor.

[Kawhitstorm]

No, and it's probably his last chance, unfortunately, since he won't play vs. GS and Cleveland has been increasing Frye's minutes at the 5..

He could play against Ezeli/Tristan who destroyed D-West.

[midnightpulp]

Gonna be another nail biter. Spurs held another double digit lead in the 2nd, and yet couldn't blow it open. Westbrook isn't getting held to 5 points in the 2nd half. Can't complain about an 8 point halftime lead on the road, though.

[BillMc]

Hats off to slomo defending well against his future teammate.

[HarlemHeat37]

Russ, Durant and Ibaka are playing with a very poor level of energy in this game..Westbrook has only attacked the rim aggressively like 2 or 3 times, Durant is playing loosely and Ibaka has been invisible..

[Horse]

Hit em early this thing is over

[DMC]

1st half observations:

1. Tim Duncan.. wow.. no
2. Refs.. allowing contact/physical play. Might change in 2nd half.
3. Spurs.. not pushing the ball, seem content to walk it up most of the time
4. Westbrook is our ally, has no concept of team basketball. No wonder Kobe likes him so much
5. Ibaka silent thus far, I expect that to change
6. That lineup with Tim/David/Danny/Tony/Kawhi.. No, because the ball doesn't move.
7. Manu.. yes, more of it.
8. Shoot the goddamn ball already.

[Splits]

53 points without a 3ptr has to be some kind of record.

[beirmeistr]

Ginobili is almost 40 and has more hustle than 80% of this Spurs team right now.

truth

[Kawhitstorm]

OKC has 1 more run in them..if they don't make it early, they will probably implode

WestBrick is going to go full heroball mode since he has already made full game's worth of passes.

[HarlemHeat37]

He could play against Ezeli/Tristan who destroyed D-West.

Maybe Ezeli..I don't think he would last very long vs. Thompson's energy, though, but I suppose we'll see..regardless, his minutes are going to be limited IMO

At least the Spurs can go small a lot more vs. GS..

[daslicer]

WestBrick is going to go full heroball mode since he has already made full game's worth of passes.

[Harry Callahan]

If the Spurs can play straight up without fouling and contend the 3s, they should be able to take this.

The Thunder will likely continue to cough up the ball some more.

That 2nd Q whistle was a hot mess.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Russ, Durant and Ibaka are playing with a very poor level of energy in this game..Westbrook has only attacked the rim aggressively like 2 or 3 times, Durant is playing loosely and Ibaka has been invisible..

Durant looks like he has his mind made up about the summer already
