    If he has a Tony type game & OKC gets blownout in Gm 5 then he's going to go full chuck mode in Gm 6.
    He won't make it past the second half of game 5.

    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...

    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.
    No, definitely not, though in Games 1-3 I really think the Spurs have looked like the more hungry, seasoned team. Even with the frustrating play in Game 2 and the come from behind win in Game 3 (if you call it such, a four point fourth quarter deficit after the Spurs had led all game). OKC's two wins in the series are less impressive than the Spurs' two wins, and I know that doesn't matter but it makes me think the Spurs are just a few bad plays away from being ready to close this out, and as such I think they're just too good to ultimately lose the series.

    I saw lma and Parker breathing heavy in the 3rd. I think they just got a little tired... they let OKC get out and run way too much. Gotta do a better job controlling the pace tomorrow

    Fans are hilarious, most of you had us winning in 6 I would say, that means we were going to have to lose twice, which we did, it also meant we would have to win game 6 in OKC.

    So really nothing out of the ordinary has happened yet. I still feel confident about this series, I dont think the Thunder figured anything out, I think the refs called a poor game also. Moving along.

    Without a gritty game 3 win, the Spurs would be on the verge of being eliminated. Perspective is a .
    Am I the only one who remembers we dominated most of that game?

    Hard to do when you can't get boards (Diaw/West combo).

    Yea, that's why I think they should start Diaw. West/Duncan will board better and Diaw will have Leonard/Green/LMA to help on the boards.

    It'll add some more fluidity to our starting unit's offense, and give us another weapon/open up the floor a bit which always works in our favor.

    Westbrook is like Kobe. He can't sustain the passing version of himself for more than one game.

    He eventually turns back into the hulk and hurts even the ones he loves.

    the 2014 Spurs would have swept this Thunder team with +10 margin...This team just doesn't have the firepower to blow open games against elite compe ion unless they fluke their way to it once in 2 months (ie. Game 1 and reg season vs Clippers)..twice we were up +10 points in Game 3/Game 4 and ended up trailing by first minutes of the 4th quarter.

    This a series OKC can feel good about winning, now..

    Not really..they were controlling the game at several points and just melted down..

    This series has been worrisome, as OKC isn't a great team, they're poor defensively and erratic on offense..it's evident that the Warriors are on an entirely different level than these teams, although I think everybody already knew that..
    The team that just got blown out of the building by one of the worst Western Conference 2nd round teams in the last 20 years?

    The truth is, the 3 stars the 2014 team had, Tim Tony and Manu, were far more consistent than Aldridge and Leonard, specially Leonard, in terms of not only producing himself but make others better.

    Kawhi is a ty distributor and LMA is not that great at passing of double teams, as a consequence our role players are taking shots very sporadically and not always open looks.

    Elephant in the room, Leonard is shooting 30% from 3 for the series, with the amount of shots that he takes that 12% drop is a lot.

    The "elephant" in the room is actually Patty who air-balled a potential game winner, is shooting 20% & just got outplayed by Randy Foye when he was supposed to be having Dion Waiters type impact on the series.

    Even if he was averaging 10 pts, Kawhi has made a huge impact on the series by making WestBrick seem ordinary. It would also help if LMA could rebound like a 7 footer instead of getting pushed around by Adams/Kanters as if he's Bonner.

    I wonder if he's dumber than Kobe probably is. One thing I remember about Kobe was he would immediately go into facilitator mode whenever he was desperate for wins. The best example of this was the '12-'13 season when the Lakers nearly missed the playoffs. I remember there was a stretch during that season where hey were several games below .500 and Kobe suddenly starting averaging 7-10 assists game to get them back to .500. Once they got back .500 he started chucking again. That's one thing I hated about Kobe was he was a chucker but he was always smart enough to dial it back when he needed to win games.

    We can't take care of business at home, we have no business advancing... we got a fairly fair whistle, and we choked, plain and simple...

    Had we won that game 2, we would have been 3-1 coming to SA.... instead elimination game on the road.

    The same issues we saw all season long, are back to bite us plus some unexpected one (like TD missing layups). POP could have been more experimental earlier but an elimination game on the road is not time to start throwing Boban and Kmart there. They are not going to save the team's stars if they cannot close a game at home. There was a choke job, quite simple and I am bitter about it.

    Can't remember when was the last time the Spurs lost two consecutive games in playoffs with 5 points lead at halftime and +2 entering into the 4th quarter.

    Unbelievable.

    If the team is being stifled by an undisciplined team like OKC then they would get embarrassed by the Warriors. It's all for naught, tbh.

    Kawhi's got to figure out how to average 30.
