My fantasy is that if the Spurs win the title, I want Ginobili to get MVP, just because Parker and Duncan already have one.
That's typical Thunder. I'm just not that impressed with the Thunder defense, even with Ibaka. In my predictions, I said Ibaka would most likely be swatting air.Originally Posted by Eze
Tony Parker puts on his Westbrook jersey and gets a rebound.
Wonder if the Thunder got a bit cocky - not in the typical sense, but, just settling thinking they had the game after the third.
Yeah, this hurts for OKC.
I don't think SA is going to blow them out next game, but they have the momentum now. They were down by a decent margin and showed up OKC in the 4th.
Ginobili had some plays where he made the defense looked silly. I don't know what to say for OKC..maybe they just got tired. But SA did play well too down the stretch, and hit their shots. OKC missed a lot of jumpers.
The tired thing is lame. Like I said, the Thunder were in control, but realistically in control. It's not like they had some absurd stat like shooting 70%.
Tony Parker didn't even have a great game. If he and Ginobili get it going in the same game, it's going to be trouble. (Kramer voice).
So a team can't get tired in the 4th quarter, on the road? OKC doesn't have the experience. When San Antonio was going on their run early in the 4th, OKC would counter with jump shots. KD wasn't involved at all.
It's just one game..OKC Could come back and win by 20 next game..just fell off the map in this one. This isn't LA..if they play shitty down the stretch, they won't escape with wins.
I think tired usually shows up for a whole game. One of those games where a team seems a step slow in everything, not just the 4th quarter.
I think Durant needs better ball handling, then he can be more involved. He scores mostly from the perimeter, or the foul line. He needs to be able to get more shots in the paint.
Also, the Spurs are just good at making a shooter like Durant, or LeBron James, take bad shots. They just send a bunch of defenders at them.
The teams that have beaten them, it usually hasn't been one guy, but just a good system that beat them. For example, when Memphis beat them, it was an all-around performance, not one guy going for 30.
When Phoenix beat them in 2010, it was another team type win.
Similarly, the Thunder need Durant, Westbrook, AND Harden all going in the same game. Harden wasn't that good today. Durant was ok.
When Dallas beat them, Dirk only scored 21 or 22, he hasn't had 30 point type games.
I don't think Ginobili will play as good the rest of the series. He's been really inconsistent all season. He just had a good game.
Harden will probably play better, and Westbrook can play better too.
But, the Spurs role players could make more 3's.
Reporter: Can you elaborate on 'I want some nasty'?
Pop: Why would you say something like that?
Reporter: That's what you said during the game.
Pop: I said that? Oh, sometimes during the heat of the moment, stuff just comes out of my mouth.
Jimmer Fredette tweeted that it was a fun game to watch.
19-11 San Antonio, early on.
Parker has 17 points, 8/10 from the field.
I have to go somewhere exactly at 10 pm, and won't be back for a few hours..so I won't be able to watch the end of the game
Duncan with a crazy running one-handed dunk. 54-44 SA
Duncan stuffs Westbrook at the rim. Way to demoralize OKC at the half
55-44
It seems that in at least 1 quarter each game, the Spurs find a way to just go off on offense.
Thunder looking like a team thats going to get swept. Spurs are way too polished for them.
