Thunder are no fluke.
Seriously, its game 3.
If you've watched the NBA playoffs throughout the years, this happens in almost every series where it is 2-0..
No fluke thunder and 2nd best team behind spurs in west.
Almost every series before this season we've had games where we lose by 20+ we've just been spoiled this season. We'll be back in game 4.
Spurs got their asses kicked today. No real excuse. They need to bounce back Saturday and show them why their in the WCF in the first place. A loss like this was bound to happen. I just hope the Spurs know how to respond.
Yes and no. Thunder are a tough matchup but this game was a fluke. Watching the type of shots they made and the type the spurs missed is awful flukey. The refs have been letting both teams play but the the spurs defense is much less physical than okc. Thus, okc is getting away with fouls they normally wouldnt and san antonio is not getting away with fouls because they wouldnt commit any fouls either way. Shouldnt be like this game 4
I think what OP means is that the Spurs playing terrible D and O is a fluke. A team thats averaging 110 ppg (in the series) putting up 70 points by the middle of the 4th is a fluke. A Thunder team that has allowed 110 PPG only allowing 70 is a fluke. this is a product of the Spurs being overwhelmed by a thunder team that absolutely had to win this game. we all knew they were good. we all knew they were gonna come out blazing. guess what, thet got the win they needed. but guess what else, after every blow out loss this season, the Spurs have come out and gone on a 10 game+ winning streak. this trip is gonna be a split and the spurs are gonna close it out monday at home. book it here. the Spurs will now play like this again, we may have just seen their only loss this Post-Season.
Not necessarily saying spurs would have won, just saying it could have ended a little differently
People calling this game a fluke just like they called big 3 of Thunder 88 point performance in Game 2 a fluke.
This series could very well go 7 games.

The Spurs playing with this level of intensity is a fluke.
Thunder role players playing this well offensively is a fluke, but give credit where it's due...Thunder played unselfish ball and took the Spurs out of rhythm with their defensive adjustments.
pathetic coaching and lineups on the court
when jax hit those b2b 3s in the 3rd quarter to get the lead down to 14, he was playin with fkn on the floor slow with the defensive rotations, allowing the thunder to continue to pull away.....i was hoping the lead would be around 10 heading into the final quarter...fkn pathetic showing tonight
gino didnt get into the game late in the 3rd quarter, dunno what pop was doing leaving him on the bench when we needed scoring....
game 3 home cooking
