Game Blog: Spurs vs. Thunder - Game 5

[DPG21920]

I believe in Tony man. I hope he plays better in the 2nd half. Its hard to watch him get so much ing hate after his amazing season. I hate how quickly so many turn on him.

I agree, but he's not doing himself any favors. This isn't a role player and this isn't the regular season. Tony has not played well at all. He has to be better. I am a huge TP fan regardless, but he has to step up.

I've been pretty dissapointed with Kawhi tonight. He needs to shoot that 3 instead of pump faking and trying to drive.

He's trying to put some Bonner in his game.

[wut]

The amount of rest Tim Duncan gets is just plain laughable. It's the most important ing game of the playoffs. All starters needed all ing game!!

I agree, what does it matter to give them rest when losing means the season.

[spurspokesman]

First few minutes of the third is huge.

[ShoogarBear]

The first six minutes of the third quarter will tell all.

[Obstructed_View]

Seriously, Spurs. It's there. Just find it. Let's get this. .

[$pursDynasty]

I would really like to see the footage of the Spurs huddles and halftime after this series is over, I'd really like to know what Pop is saying, especially tonight.

[bonesinaz]

How ppl here have thrown in the towel and accuse the Spurs of doing the same when the game is only half over.

Just. win. the. 3rd.

[ginobili fan]

REally disappointed by TP.
It's like watching the old TP disappearing against double team.
come on that's fukin old school now I thought he was MVP caliber...
Wake the up or leave the spurs!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

So does Manu start the 2nd half?

I'd go back to Green imo

[DAF86]

Fuk Timvp's game threads clown

Yeah, why the did he strat going all forum Nazi with the game blogs?

[spurspokesman]

Bonner will save the day

[dbreiden83080]

Need to be down by 3 or less to have a shot in the 4th.. OKC is gonna come out looking for the haymaker..

[DMC]

I think the young guys are clinching their ass cheeks, they see the inevitable and don't want to be held responsible for it. It's natural. You cannot expect Leonard to not feel that.

"Do you like my lineups? I put some NASTY lineups out there for ya"

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I agree, but he's not doing himself any favors. This isn't a role player and this isn't the regular season. Tony has not played well at all. He has to be better. I am a huge TP fan regardless, but he has to step up.

Its like the TP.detractors have always said

The man's.stats go down for his playoff averages compared to regular season averages


Dude got his rep for never stepping up in the playoffs and he hadn't done much to change their minds since 07

[wut]

Isn't that it though, the Spurs have played really poor 3rd quarters...

[DPG21920]

Calling it now: Parker goes for over 20 this half. Will that be enough?

[AnthonyM]

The Spurs can get back into it. Pop needs to just stick with logical rotations and not just throw guys out there willy-nilly.

If you're going to try Blair, find a way to make him work with Duncan, Diaw, or Splitter. Anything but Bonner.

I still think the Spurs can win this game.

Logical line-ups, play smart, take care of the ball, don't pass up shots.

Let's do it.

[DMC]

Spurs need a 15pt run.

[Richie]

Biggest quarter of the season. 12 minutes, win or go home. Let's get this tied, or at worst within 1 or 2. score on first possession and get the crowd going.

[01Snake]

Get back to moving the ball and finding the open man. We've gotta hit some shots from downtown.

[HI-FI]

time to quit playing scared and just play with confidence and instinct.

they can still do this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[Libri]

Calling it now: Parker goes for over 20 this half. Will that be enough?
