its called going in on that ass
Both Durant and Westbrook on the floor with 4 minutes to go, while Spurs have their scrubs on the floor.
its called going in on that ass
Exactly. They love to toy with the Spurs, both for their own psyche (though their confidence is already sky high against them), but also for the Spurs'.
Worst yet, the Spurs do nothing about it; they just accept being emasculated by this team over and over again. It's embarrassing and sickening. I don't expect a key player to do something stupid, but it's inexplicable that Ayres didn't lay out Westbrook in garbage time, with all the he pulled. I don't get this team.
I'd buy Ayres' jersey if he ever layed out Chimpbrook or Durant. you know he has it in him, it just might be too classywhile Thunder are stat padding.
Nawh, that's what you're supposed to do. Do your best to not allow them to come back.
I love this
If the spurs were repeatedly losing playoff series to these guys or something than I could see your point. These games are ing meaningless. Only a team full of inexperienced nobody's and coaches would think these games have any affect on anybody's psyche.
The Spurs worry about the playoffs and that's it. Been that way for 17 years. They don't give a about this game or some dude dunking and pounding his chest with a minute left in a regular season matchup. Only fans get caught up in that meaningless crap.
The same game has played out virtually every time they've met since game 3 of the WCF. Even if you don't know much or you're just a blind homer, look at the ease with which they play against the Spurs, as well as their confidence level and body language and compare that to the Spurs'.
They haven't played a meaningful game since 2012. At least not meaningful for the Spurs. If you don't believe that or can't see that I don't know what else to say. The Spurs do not care about regular season games. Pop even said it on national tv tonight.
Exactly. There was the same talk about Memphis when we lost in 2010... just a bunch of babbling. They're a good team, but the whole psyche talk is stupid.
This game was very important to the thunderefs. Questionable letting them play so long into the 4th -- makes you wonder
You're an idiot if you don't think they care every time they play this team. Of course they do. There's a level of frustration, particularly with Pop, that's just not there against other teams.
Look, I don't enjoy this anymore than any other Spurs fan. I hate admitting they can't beat someone and I doubly hate that it's a team I probably hate more than any other since the O'Neal led Lakers, but I'm not going to be a blind homer either.
Whatever, we got them in the playoffs tbh
Lol an idiot. Yeah since Pop went for the throat tonight, sitting Manu and starting belinelli in the second half. Sure they want to win, sure they want to beat these guys, they are compe ors, but they in no shape or form are treating these games like its a WCF game. Not even close.
Wtf do you keep talking about blind homer. If you want to take a bunch of regular season matchups and form a conclusion then be my guest. All I'm saying is they haven't played a meaningful game since 2012. The spurs didn't treat this game any different than they did the in sixers last week.
The Spurs lost the second night of a back to back on the road to a team coming off three days of rest, Pop sat Ginobili, the refs eliminated any indication that this game was going to be a balanced affair early on, and the Spurs still had it down to within 10 late without the starters on the floor. This entire forum chalked this up as a loss a week ago. So ing what. When they beat the Spurs 4 times out of 7 in May, for which they will not have HCA, then we can bemoan the end of Spurs western dominance. This game was a hugely frustrating display of meaningless showboating by a team still hoping the team they just beat manages to hand them the 1 seed they've spent all of March letting slip further away.
It's a lot like this
Ayres just saving the hard hits for the playoffs when it counts tbh. By June he'll be a living a legend.
I honestly think Spurs had mixed emotions coming into this game. First off, Duncan, Parker, and maybe even Danny Green shouldn't have been playing this game since it was a back to back. Spurs threw in the towel with 8 minutes remaining in the 4th when Thunder was up by maybe 14 points. It was clear the Spurs were conflicted on whether they should risk injuries to their older players and try to get their consecutive win to keep the franchise record alive, or just throw in the towel because it was a back to back.
As much as I hated seeing the Spurs lose their winning streak to the Thunder of all teams, I'm one of the people who thinks this game was meaningless - Spurs held on for the division le and has a a locked seeding position, this game was purely for keeping the win streak alive.
Lol, yeah, that's why they lost. Holy !!!
Durant played 40 minutes and didn't drop 40 on the team. He shot terribly and Kawhi pestered him like he does every real perimeter scorer. If they lose tomorrow to Houston, it'll be because they didn't have the sense to use their bench like Pop did.
I didn't say that . But only a fool would think this game was played and coached like a playoff game from the Spurs end.
I'm sorry OKC emasculated you.
