Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC -- Game 3 - Fri (5/6) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga)

I actually have a feeling Duncan is going to sit most, of this game. if not all. this series is not for him.

Looks like no series is for him, sadly.

[BillMc]

Mills looked good, hopefully he get heavy minutes in the 2nd half, too..

Yeah. More Mills.

[spurtech09]

Might

i had OKC winning in 6

-1,000 LMAO

[hater]

Part of me wishes the Spurs don't go to the WCF. This team would get annihilated.

I still believe Spurs are the better team. we have lots of old finished guys but OKC has so many scrubs... Payne, Waiters, Roberson, Morrow etc... terrible scrubs...


BTW, speaking of Scrubs, where is Foye?

[TheDoctor]

Spurs should be up by 10. They've had strong 3rd quarters this season, they're going to need one to hang on to win this game tbh.

Arguably their best quarters.

[spurtech09]

So much cliff jumping in here. Relax.

+1

[Kawhitstorm]

Ginobili, Patty, LMA and DG playing well.

Kawhi, West, Diaw, Parker not playing well.

Kawhi wasn't so hot in the 2nd quarter but he was the best player in the 1st quarter.

[BillMc]

Spurs have 9 assists at the half.

Sad. Fortunately Thunder have only 7.

[testies]

Andre Miller will be on the floor by minute 8 in 4th quarter

[midnightpulp]

We'll lose this game by double digits. Westchuck is 6-17, Durant has been quiet, their bench has 2 points, we've hit 7-11 threes, and all these dip s could manage is a 5 point lead?

Don't care that we're up on the road. The halftime score should've been something like 57-42. You need big cushions whenever you can get them, and the Spurs predictably shrunk.

[Spurfan4ever20]

Im wondering if Kawhi pulled a hamstring in the first game on the the first play when he dunked. He fell down after the play and grabbed his hamstring. He could possibly playing on a pulled hamstring which could be the reason of his poor play lately. Anyone have info on this?

[DarrinS]

Missed FT are from exhaustion playing D, tbh

[SouthernFried]

Duncan is still better than West or Diaw in Defending the paint. Those 2 are simply terrible on D.

Put him back in.

[Darius Bieber]

OKC feeling good at only being down 5. They've played absolutely horrible. Spurs need to take advantage, otherwise this series is over once OKC starts realizing their full potential.

[RD2191]

67 win team against a team clearly inferior to the Warriors and even the Cavs, that's why.

I don't understand why people thought this series would be easy. OKC knows how to play us. Also their scrubs love to go off on us. A win tonight even if it's ugly is still a win.

[SAGirl]

Spurs lead 47-42 at the half

TD stat line:
He will barely play against the GSW if we get that far.

[Capt Bringdown]

I know they're only playing the Pistons and Hawks

Both the Hawks and Cavs looked better than the Spurs and Thunder tonight. Pretty miserable basketball.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Feed Aldridge more

[sasaint]

Sad. Fortunately Thunder have only 7.

That is NOT our game. Not too surprising for the Thunder, though.

Several people have mentioned this, including me. But, we would never know...that is something they'd never tell. But, it definetly looks like something has been off with Kawhi the last 2 games.

[HarlemHeat37]

Sucks that Tim looks so bad at the rim, offensively..he's still a far better defender and rebounder than Diaw and West, but he's killing the Spurs on offense in this series..

I'd still give him a shot for a few minutes, hope he can find something for small stretches..

[unleashbaynes]

More LaMarcus please.

He's playing fine, so far

Put him back in.

West/Diaw got bailed out b/c Payne/Waiter were jacking up terrible shot & turning the ball over.
