#2 Spurs vs #3 Thunder - 2016 Western Semifinals - Who Ya Got? - Page 21

Spurs are triflin on the viewers.

fullmetal · 05-12-2016, 08:12 PM

Unless Pop makes some drastic changes this will be a 20pt loss. The playoffs are not the time to experiment.

My wife has refused to watch this series. I'm leaning on watching some DVR recordings. This is not enjoyable. I did type in my first post of this thread after game one that I was not counting the series over. I've seen the Spurs lose too many times to be confident before the books are closed.

Long time until college football starts. Sports boredom between the Spurs' last game and college kickoff.

Maybe San Antonio should follow the trend and shoot 40 three pointers.

fullmetal · 05-12-2016, 08:24 PM

This is embarrassing, Coach Pop!

imbluestreak23 · 05-12-2016, 08:25 PM

Spurs offense is 100% 1 on 1. OKC is 100% team oriented. The rolls have switched.

And just to think, Stephen Racist Smith has been hating on the Billy Donovan Hire since day 1. Donovan has shut down the Spurs offense.

spurs50fan · 05-12-2016, 08:28 PM

Captain Jack ain't walking through the door....

They need to grow a pair and unfortunately I don't see how beating the Thunder to see the Warriors will make them grow

moose84 · 05-12-2016, 08:28 PM

24 point deficit

imbluestreak23 · 05-12-2016, 08:28 PM

Time to watch something else

Halbert · 05-12-2016, 08:30 PM

Sad to think this might be it for The Great Fundamental, Tim Duncan

That "beautiful game "game left when they signed LA. It's been 1 on 1 for a while. Right around all-star break. Sad to see Pop get out coached yet again. By a rookie coach

blackbears86 · 05-12-2016, 08:32 PM

definitely the upset of the playoffs if this continues. Spurs just look lifeless.

Jonathon M · 05-12-2016, 08:32 PM

Thank you for the memories Tim and Manu..

Disappointing to end this way, but massive props to OKC...

This series has really highlighted the need for an aggressive (defensive) Centre to compliment Kawhi and Lamarcus... Who would have thought Steven Adams would be the difference (In hindsight it seems obvious though)

If you can't rebound, you can't win

Psufan80 · 05-12-2016, 08:33 PM

Thunder haters can't blame the referees tonight !! Excited for next round. Thunder seem to have gained mental toughness

hazenuts · 05-12-2016, 08:34 PM

OKC vs Cavs Final

gingerscards · 05-12-2016, 08:35 PM

Wow, Thunder taking it to the Spurs. KD on fire !!!!!

jj2 · 05-12-2016, 08:35 PM

Spurs running out of juice.

Durantula · 05-12-2016, 08:38 PM

Wow Im impressed! OKC is clicking on all ends at the right time.
Game is far from over though!
Seems like as of now that OKC would give GS the better competition!

hazenuts · 05-12-2016, 08:39 PM

OKC has their own death lineup:

Kanter
Adams
KD
Russ
Dion

I think GSW will have trouble with this

drobfan8 · 05-12-2016, 08:42 PM

Uhhhhh, bummer to see the Spurs go down.

But the writing was on the wall. Just not enough athleticism.

Adams has stepped up.

Portland beating the Clippers was the upset of the Playoffs.

I agree...

OKC could kill GSW on the boards (like they have done to the spurs) and OKC have the offensive power to keep up with GSW in a shootout... If I was a GSW fan... I'd be very nervous

OKC can't have two people that can't guard the perimeter on the floor at the same time. (Well, they can, it'll just end poorly)

moose84 · 05-12-2016, 08:48 PM

People will just have to accept reality, whether we like it or not

Game 4 and 5 will be talked about, especially the 4th quarters. Spurs had a 2-1 lead. Def. could have taken control of the series and won, but couldnt close and thats what it came down to. OKC wins 2 and now comes in tonight at home and cruises (as it looks like)

EDIT: Timmy D playing Casper this series.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that went out the window when CP3 and Blake were out the rest of the series

There is always 1 cocky guy that drops in after the work is done to poke the bear while he is down!

Not really. More anxious than anything to get back to the finals.
