Game Thread: Spurs @ Thunder- Dec. 17 @ 7:00 PM CST

lol okc has our number... manu was probably our best player in the WCF last year and he has missed both games against them this year. we also dont have our primary defender for durant on the floor, the guy that had 5 steals opening night. pop also threw in the towel way early so as not to exhaust tim/tony/tiago.

[Chomag]

Shoulda, coulda , woulda but to think if the Spurs would have gambled on batch this offseason...

[timtonymanu]

And to think posters up here actually supported this Thunder team in the Finals, .

Grades:

Pop: F, for bad rotations to end 2nd quarter and start of the 3rd.

NDC: A, showing his playmaking skills working against long/athletes of OKC

[spurraider21]

at least dirkbaka is filling up my fantasy statsheet

[timvp]

Bonner with a legitimately good foul

[Boomersgold]

Ibaka vs Bonner

[ElNono]

wasn't it 90% in December?

[Dr. Robert Lee]

De Colo needs more playing time. Dude is going to be GOOD. Honestly, he should get playing time over Kobe and Green at this point.

[EVAY]

Pretty gutsy of Bonner to foul Perkins like that, tbh.

[racm]

Kawhi plays = Spurs win
Kawhi out with injury = Spurs lose

QED

Man, ace3g is mad at Pop tonight

true

over under on tbh being used in a game thread 312

This has been some great experience for De Colo

I was wrong about De Colo. He's starting to become quite a player for the Spurs.

[SpurSpurSpurs]

I like what Pop has done. Bench the starters, but Scott Brooks keeping his starters like he's sending some message to Pop.

[HI-FI]

lol, finally bringing in their subs

Agreed tbh. NDC should be taking minutes from Neal and Green.

[racm]

Durant stat padding

[ace3g]

and with a B2B, he could afford to rest the starters during that stretch at end of 2nd quarter and start of 3rd when they weren't playing well, should have used more bench...

[timvp]

Life is easy for Scott Brooks when he has a team that can play all day and literally never gets injured.

[Manu-20]

I really think De colo is going to get the backup PG job.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

JA is still a scrub, as soon as Kawhi and Manu come back he needs to leave SA for good.

[racm]

I'm of the CoN, tbh...

[tim_duncan_fan]

At least De Colo has continued to show some moxie. Dude has 3x the vision Tony Parker does. He has the ability to get his guys easy buckets.
