piss poor defense by the Spurs

[Reck]

This is why I dont like when Spurs have 20+ point lead.

They alway and I mean always fall asleep. Its ing Oklahoma Thunder. Wake the up.

green with 22 points. gonna be a big game for him.

Green and Durrant have been the only thing worth watching from OkCity's side of the court.

[Chieflion]

Can the Spurs close the game out already, Green and Durant are bringing the Thunder back.

I love Bonner, he's really fun to cheer for, but i would bet against a double double if i had to bet. Just because the odds are against him doing that well in any game. That being said, i would love to see him get double doubles every night. He's really doing good so far this season. He's kind of filled Brent Barry's role, as well as Roger Mason. Barry was one of my favorite Spurs, but I gotta say, these two replacements are really filling his role well, almost better than Barry did himself.

<<<<drunk ramble.

I was hoping you were drunk, otherwise I'd have to label you an idiot. Bonner filled HORRY'S role, and odds are against him having a BAD game as of right now.

Yup. Could have been a 30 point blowout if it wasn't for the weak defensive effort.

[Fundamental]

haha what did pop just tell bonner?

[kace]

just a question. i know that before when a player was fouled, if he made one of his two FT, the assist was still credited to his teamate. since when it has changed ?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD scores and look at the ref

That never happened. No assist should be recorded. An assist is only recorded if the player makes the basket after the pass. (Three dribbles at most I believe)

Quoted from wiki:"In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score by field goal."

"A pass that leads to a shooting foul and scoring by free throws does not count as an assist." also from the same source.

[Yorae]

Duncan and Parker should sit, yes?

[loveforthegame]

These turnovers are ridiculous

[TDfan2007]

dunkfest for OKC

[duncan228]

TP from THomas

[loveforthegame]

I know Hill has 3 fouls but I'd like to see him out there for Parker.

[Reck]

We are sooo not ready for the real teams. We are gonna get our ass whopped when we play the likes of Lakers, Boston, New Orleans, Orlando, Denver.

I'm already dreading that.

[Chieflion]

Two.

I stand corrected but

"An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball. However, the original definition of an assist did not include such situations, so the comparison of assist statistics across eras is a complex matter." Quoted from wiki.

Thus, the recording of assists is vague in basketball.

wouldn't go that far. This team has a different mentality against weak teams. It's not good, but what can you do? We've also missed a TON of chip shots tonight. This should really be a 20+ point game.

[Fundamental]

wow. gs hill

[Chieflion]

Not again, go guard Jeff Green, Bowen!
