    OK, 10 since 1980 then!
    We like 1999 as the modern era.

    As for the 1999 * cited by Laker fans. We count that twice.

    50 games in the regular season is the appropriate number. Regular season games would actually count and we would not be allowed to rest players as easily. Everyone would get their moneys worth.

    So by my counting we should have 7 after all is done (since 68 is more appropriate than 82). You guys will have 5. So that makes you the 2nd best franchise in the modern era, congrats.

    The Thunder played good all game. In the first half, it wasn't their
    defense that staggered the Spurs, it was the Spurs just playing sloppy,
    trying to figure out the correct pace to run their offense. It resulted in
    a few turnovers, & blocks.

    But Pop nipped it in the bud, with his "nasty" speech.
    & the Spurs played aggressive ball, allowing them to figure
    out the pace. Jackson held down their fire-starter, and while
    he held the head of the snake, the body gyrated and quivered
    as it was being punctured repe ively by the Spurs' fearless lieutenant.

    Even in victory, there's much to look forward to.
    Do you think Danny Green is going to go 0-6 again? That's something
    to doubt after seeing Danny tap into a reserve of over-looked potential
    this season. He isn't the picture of consistency, but he is a fantastic
    shooter.

    Do you think the ice in Neal's veins will somehow melt after
    performing so well in game 1? We all know the answer (but his defense
    may remain lackluster)

    Do you think the Spurs will procure 14 turnovers in the first half again?
    Even after succeeding after adjusting to playing at the
    Thunder's pace?

    Do you think Parker will miss those jump shots next game, or
    do you think he'll stand idly by as Ginobili carries the team alone?

    Like I said before, Spurs in 5.




    Will D Fish go ape next game like he did?

    That is why they play the games and not rely on computer simulations to declare the winner.

    Manu may not have a great game Tues and I don't count on it. I figure Bonner's nutts are so far sucked in his body that they won't drop until regular season in Nov. Green prolly makes a few timely threes and Jackson won't have such success with Durant again.

    The next game is gonna determine who can capitalize on the adjustments.

    There may be a new hero, Kawhi Leonard may go nuts, who knows but it will be fun to scream and yell in jubilation and frustration either way...

    Watching the near meltdown was funny and entertaining as well

    Westbrook is not overrated, much like Tony Parker....he is actually underrated.

    He had a poor Game 1, but he is a flat out stud.

    Overrated NBA PG #1 is Chris Paul. 2nd place for most overrated would be Derek Rose.
    Not surprising that Laker fans bow down to any player that chucks the ball as much as Kobe does.

    As much as I could care less for cp3, he is NOT overrated. The hornets had a bunch of scrubs on their team when cp3 was there and he still led them to the 2nd round. Clippers were nowhere near reaching the playoffs until cp3 arrived.

    Derrick Rose, on the other hand is overrated.

    Spurs went in the game with an abundance of appropriate fear...this was to their detriment in the first half as they were feeling out the Thunder too much and not being aggressive enough. 4th quarter was the 'ok we've feared them enough' turning point.

    Thunder fans might be a little over-confident about this series because they've never really faced a healthy Spurs team; but the 4th was the beginning of their end.

    How do the Thunder really get better? Hitting more shots is not the answer Thunder fans, I'm sorry.

    The thing that makes the Spurs and every other champion better is that they always have a hidden effort that going into the 4th makes them just better than your best.

    But seriously Thunder fans I get it, you're not used to a healthy Spurs team.

    David West, Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojakovic and Bonzi Wells are scrubs?

    Peja and Bonzi were by the time they hit the Bayou City.

    If anything, blowing a healthy lead and getting abused in the fourth quarter is probably planting seeds of doubt for OKC, tbh.
    I saw doubt in there eyes when the game ended. Kinda like what the just happened?

    I think we have officially entered the realm of over analysis.
    Happens every year. At half time with a one point lead the talk was about how OKCs athleticism and length was a problem for the Spurs. At the end of the game it was all about the spurs versatility etc.

    I'm sure thunder players could really care less what fans of the spurs think just a guess though...
    How about their fans?

    Ps: wtf do other teams fanbases find their way to ST? I've never given a damn to look and sign up on some other forum not spurs related. Btw, SR! Glad i never had the thought to sign up at SR either.

    I've not encountered 1 Thunder fan that was very confident about this series. Not sure where you're finding them. Maybe some idiot who jumped on the bandwagon 3 weeks ago might feel pretty confident. These are both very good teams here. These guys don't let themselves get too high or low about anything. Game 2 is a clean slate. You just go out and compete every possession. Noone on either side has any concern about game 1.

    Interesting to read the other side's perspective on things. Some people are just bored and like to cause problems and harass the other team's fans, but a lot of people just like discussing basketball with fans of other teams as they usually have a diff. perspective on things being more familiar with that team.

    I wonder how sixers felt after blowing game 1 to Boston... Clearly not much

    It won't matter in game 2 here either... It never does. It doesn't have any bareing on the next game on any series.
    Lol losing 2 games doesn't matter.

    Because it looks a good place to post and it is? It's very active which Attracts alot of different fans.

    I joined mainly for this series but realised I would stick around and post every now and then after our series is over and if spurs do win the series then I will be cheering the spurs on vs Miami.
