What were they thinking on that play?

fullmetal · 05-06-2016, 11:20 PM

Westbrook with a fine on that atrocious flop on the final play

moose84 · 05-06-2016, 11:20 PM

Good W Spurs

dasiegel · 05-06-2016, 11:21 PM

Mental mistakes

spurs50fan · 05-06-2016, 11:22 PM

Tense......

When the hell did Ibaka become Curry?

drobfan8 · 05-06-2016, 11:22 PM

Boom! Great win Spurs. Great win.

hairyangryfella · 05-06-2016, 11:25 PM

Such a badly coached team.
At least it was close.

Rareairx23 · 05-06-2016, 11:27 PM

Man 10/31 just isn't gonna get it done by Westbrook, had a nice statline but missing 21 shots just doesn't cut it

Litwing · 05-06-2016, 11:27 PM

Congrats spurs for the w and 31pts for kawhi!

Final score:
Spurs 102 - Thunder 96

I was 2 points off.

Great win for the silver and black. I was on pins and needles for the entire 2nd half. Very entertaining game from start to finish. Lots of back and forth. Can't wait for Sunday night!

Westbrook cost then the game in the last few mins. Leonard with a big rebound to ice it.

Absolutely terrible. This Game is another great example why People hate on him. Such an ego unbelievable. Every time he gets the Ball Im like pass, pass.

Good and well deserved W for SA.

Well hey, at least he has the balls to step up in the clutch, unlike Durant.

I like Durant, and think at this point he's actually UNDERRATED in some ways, but the guy just does not close. That's why I can't put him in the same breath as Lebron, Kobe, etc.

Maybe, but does Durant have a chance with him handling the ball?
Westbrook was 6-17 or something and hastily rushing for layups or jacking threes. Admittedly some of his supporting cast suck, but at least take smart/good shots!

I see what you are getting at, but if Durant were the true alpha of the team he would get the ball. Kyrie wouldn't dare take the ball out of Lebrons hands in the clutch if he didnt agree with it.... Pau Gasol wouldnt have taken the ball from Kobe with the game on the line, and Scotty sure as heck wouldnt have played keep away from MJ in the clutch.

Thats part of being the leader, being the man, being clutch.

Not to mention, RWB also followed up Durant's missed shot with a monster dunk and sunk some clutch free throws with the pressure on. At least the guy asserts himself. Let's face it, Westbrook's the guy at the party that's always going all out and looking like a tool but still getting laid by the hot chick while Durant is sitting in the corner with his 6 out of 10 girlfriend who has a 'great personality'.

bas · 05-07-2016, 04:06 AM

kawhi was best on the floor today and in the fourth, i believe he is the better player then wstbrk or durant

Hegotgame15 · 05-07-2016, 04:32 AM

My take,

Westbrook is a nuclear missile with no guidance system...

Russell Westbrook takes blame for Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 3 loss - Oklahoma City Thunder Blog- ESPN

"21 of Westbrook's 31 shots were taken on possessions where he started and ended a trip without passing"

Dude couldn't even free himself from any Spurs players. He had to catch the ball like 40 feet away from the basket. He just did not cut hard. He would stand at the corner.

JustinVerlander07 · 05-07-2016, 09:22 AM

Thunder need a coach with a backbone that pulls Westbrook after every 3 point attempt, dude once again costing the Thunder a win.

It's been great watching Kawhi grow as a player. FO did their homework as always. The mix of defense and offense is amazing but when you watch how he gets his points (midrange, post, 3pt, drive) he really has matured into a superstar

He's amazing and cares about getting better and honing his craft. I love him. I wonder how he'll do when his career goes past Pop's retirement? I hope the good habits don't leave him.

Kingchrispaul · 05-08-2016, 08:01 PM

Refs thinking we better try foul Timmy out it's our only shot of getting this past 5 games

fullmetal · 05-08-2016, 08:23 PM

Duncan only played 14 minutes in Game 3. Foul issues likely won't change the strategy. He played 21 and 28 minutes in the first two games.

I hoped Pop would start intentionally fouling Adams in the second when the team was in the penalty five minutes in
