Game Blog: 12/14/08 - Spurs vs. Thunder

[duncan228]

Duncan228, why does Pop insist on playing Tim damn near the whole 1st quarter, even in blowouts?

I can only guess.

Who's on the floor with him, opportunities for different groups to get used to playing together. It is a different game when he's on the floor, it's good to mix it up.

Keeping Duncan in a rhythm.

Letting them play like it's actually a game, at least for the first half, and let Duncan sit more the second half.

And, we know that Duncan wants to be on the floor, even in a blowout.

is Ian dress?

will we see him tonight?

[EvaLongoria]

If this game was a 2k9 online game, my opponent would quit or drop the game. This is a massacre

[Manufan909]

Spurs up 39-19 after one

Sit TD and TP for the rest of this game

Fab and Ime FTW!!! i only want to see JV if the Spurs have a 90 pt lead.

[Reck]

Your complaining?

I actually was hoping for a tight game but so far only Green and Durant have shown up.

Nah its just sad that they cant even compete at the other end. Talk about a one sided game. lol

I thought City would come out with a little bit more heart than this. The Thunder look like they are just going through the motions. Escort service defense and no coordination what so ever on offense. Thunder offense = give the ball to Green/Durant and let them go one on one.

[sonic21]

7/11 3pts

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 7-11 from 3PT in the 1st quarter

So it is with young teams. Especially losing a hearbreaker last night to Dallas. After a while it must mess with thier confidence.

[Reck]

Hah Thunder players are getting frustrated already.

I haven't noticed if he's in uniform, but he was listed as 'Projected Inactive'. I don't think we'll see him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D Bruce

[Spurologist]

Durant blocked by Bowen

[Manufan909]

Poor KT can't get up for an easy dunk anymore.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass, Thomas from Mason!!

[Reck]

Nothing better then watching your team giving someone else a beat down while you'r sipping down Coronas. Good day indeed.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP J!!!

TD already back

I agree. This should be a gimme game.

[peskypesky]

Let's hope the game continues this way so Duncan can get rest. He's been playing his ass off so far this season....too many minutes...

I love the way the Spurs have been playing lately.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup!

[024]

take duncan out. then start him in the 2nd half for a few minutes and then take him out again for good.

[Fernando TD21]

Just 1 assist for OKC so far.

[Manufan909]

Fin tip, nice to see him get it. The less athletic Fin of last year probably wouldn't have made it in time.

When will Fab and Ime get love, it's a blowout.

[Manufan909]

Matt is ING money this year. Why would you leave him or Mason open???

[Armando]

Wow I expected more heart from OKC not expecting them to win but at least show more fight. 1 assist is not going to get it done against the Spurs nor playing swiss cheese defense.
