Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 5

11 tos ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

[loveforthegame]

So Westbrook blocks Green taking a jumper after the buzzer and just walks away? OKC slapping the Spurs around and doing nothing about it.

Will Parker and/or Duncan show up this half?

Not expecting much to be honest.

What happened to Duncan

How does he get fatigued in game 5 after a week long rest prior to this series


There's no question Duncan is tired

He's the slowest guy on the court on both sides he's more anchoring our d for crap

I think he got a new tattoo so he's playing injured.

[blkroadrunners]

Just gotta buckle down and relax this 2nd half.

[Russ]

More Splitter.

More Jack.

Shake well, stir . . . and pray.

still searching for that miley cyrus sex tape

[loveforthegame]

How are we only down 8? Stumped.

[JohnnySixString]

I hope they can make this happen

I think they should slow down a bit on half court offense. If you have the chance to run do it but when you're on the half court set settle down a bit. They are rushing things too much and playing way too anarchic and that helps OKC scramble defense. Make them work a little bit more.

[Nathan89]

You know what, I hope that wakes Danny up some. He doesn't seem like the guy who is ok with getting punked/shown up.

He's playing like a under pressure. He's a .

Whole team is playing


SOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Charles Barkley have Parkinson disease?

I just don't understand why they are not playing with a sense of urgency! I know they got out rhythm when Timmy and Diaw got into foul trouble (how convenient refs, so much for home cooking?) and taken out the game which made us go small and no-one could make shots except for Manu and Jackson! Everyone playing soft, Parker too scared and Neal playing like a rookie! No rebounding and the BS goal tends that are not being called for us is pissing me off as well! Come on Spurs, after all of this, do you want to end this run now! Really! That Westbrick, what kind of is that! Green needs to knock this bas out!

Spurs need a couple of special performances. Seems likely that Jax and Kawhi are the other guys to step up. But I am still all about the movie storyline where Danny plays the hero.

[illcendiary]

They played pretty terribly in the first half of Game 1 as well. They played badly in the third quarter as well before turning it on in the fourth. Hopefully this game follows the same trajectory.

[urunobili]

TD and TP would need to explode if we're going to win this...

[Nathan89]

Manu on pace for 34 minutes. Not enough...Not enough...

[EVAY]

TP is getting double teamed every time he brings the ball up. Then he gives it somebody else who doesn't want to shoot it, and it all goes downhill from there.

Spurs will come back!!!

I believe!!

[ploto]

That crazy first few minutes running around like roosters with their heads chopped off seemed to wear out the Spurs.

[spurspokesman]

Jesus, people... Believe or gtfo.

There just venting dmc lol. It was a pathetic first half.

[TDomination]

I really want Danny Green to start in the 2nd half...just go back to our original starting lineup, please Pop

[Keepin' it real]

And jesus people in the arena, get drunk if you need to but show some emotion!! Your team needs you

I'm at the arena. Wearing my whiteout shirt and yelling in the lower level. I'm doing my part. The Spurs players...not so much. Sickening to watch. But still within striking distance.

[baseline bum]

What an abortion of a first half.

This would have been a good time for a halftime beer, tbh.

Man, I went to the liquor store today and saw one of my favorite beers (Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron), but figured it wasn't a good beer for watching the game at 11% ABV. How wrong I was.

[Quiet Strength]

Should the spurs switch on defense like okc? Might be better than leaving them wide open on offense. The spurs have to experiment a little and find a way to get more stops.
