Meh, Spurs got what they came for

[Budkin]

We lost 2 games at home the entire ing season... we can take care of business there, and we should... if we don't, we probably don't deserve to move on...

EXACTLY.

[Trifecta]

The Spurs will find their offense back home and take game 5!

[Horse]

How about the refs don't us then it's a 15-20 pt lead to start the 4th. Td has to play to help rebound and protect the rim he can still do that.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Ugh no, no. Spurs should of swept OKC. ing goty by everyone not named Parker tonight.

[100%duncan]

The Spurs offense is so predictable that even OKC has made adjustments. A more disciplined team like the Warriors can make sure Danny doesn't get hot.

Meh I mean thats the way we are formed. Pretty top-heavy. Unlike 2014.

[Darius Bieber]

Maybe this will be the loss that gets SA fully motivated, but I still wonder if Pop and Duncan are emotionally exhausted from 2014, they exerted so much energy that year and I'm just wondering if they can find that again. And not to mention the wheels have fallen off for Duncan. Duncan is my favorite player ever, but I think they'll be better next year if he retires, hopefully they can find a solid big to replace him.

If the Spurs aren't motivated after that Game 2 demolition by OKC, then this is a pathetic team.

[100%duncan]

And to think SO many Spurs fans had Spurs in 5.

No way.

To think about it, Spurs had the chance

If the game 2 loss didn't motivate them...nothing will.

Get off this forum already you cliffjumping fairweather fan got.

Spurs in 6!

Honestly Spurs are playing some really bad stretches of basketball in these games. Not sure what it is or how to fix it specifically, but it's like every game they play the Spurs play about 30-35 minutes of great basketball, then the bed for the remaining minutes. Maybe this game will drive the message home that we can't play to 75% of our potential and expect to win in the playoffs. Also I was wrong about this series, it's not 2014 vs. the Heat, it's the first-round 7-game series vs. Dallas. This is our chance to get our asses into gear and start executing like the elite contender we're capable of being.

They got spotted 10-15 calls, Durant can't miss, and our "bigs" are getting murdered. A lot like the first game of the season, except it was officiated more fairly.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This could easily be a 3-1 series in favor of the Spurs. Despite the fourth quarter collapse tonight, the Spurs have looked like the better team - with just some frustrating lapses in efficiency - all series.

I agree, but outside of Game 1 the other victory by the Spurs was a come from behind victory which is great but it's now like we've been blowing OKC out of the water since Game 1. We tend to do well in the first half and falter in the second.

This is true in fairness.

[ECOV]

Yeah it's over. OKC will rape the Spurs on Tuesday. It's over.

lol calm down

[Keepin' it real]

I'm fine with a 2-2 series and HCA.

Hope Kawhi's knee and TP's calf ok.

People keep saying this, so it should probably keep being repeated, that of those losses, it was to this very team. HCA means less against them than it does to Milwaukee in February.

This...Thunder just proved that HCA means nothing against them this series. They have the Spurs figured out and should probably be favored for as long as the Spurs are still alive this series.

People keep bringing ty teams, but we beat every team in the league, including the Dubs, at home. So yeah, it's no a fluke or due to weak opponents.

What knee? Havent watched, sorry.

Mathematically it means more because one OKC win in SA was unlikely, two are downright improbable.

Bogutless Dubs? Yeah. We beat them. None of those game did the teams break out the full arsenal.

[ElNono]

Bogutless Dubs? Yeah. We beat them. None of those game did the teams break out the full arsenal.

So Bogut is the Dubs star now?

Not saying we're better than the Dubs, but we definitely have beat every other team at home all season long. 40 games is not a fluke.

[oh crap]

loser mentality

[Kawhitstorm]

I just don't see how either of these teams stand a chance against the Dubs tbh. I guess for pride's sake we could feel good about winning this series, but will it be worth it to be completely embarrased once the Dubs go on hall of fame mode?

When the Spurs beat OKC, KD will have an excuse to leaving the Thunder. When the Duds lose to the Cavs in the Finals, KD won't have to feel guilty about signing w/ a championship team since the Cavs are going to win it all.

Good thing we didnt get swept imho

And Aldridge's right hip is ok-he didn't look as comfortable tonight. Aldridge looked like he was in pain and limping a bit in Game 3. when he went down. Hopefully, with HCA coming, all the Spurs show up but most importantly the new big 3.
