Game Thread: Western Conference Finals: OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Get Durant and Westbrook to play the entire 4th quarter.


Don't let them get a second of free rest...Popovich


The rest will not be there with a one day turnaround.

 

[thunderc]

Westbrook just now came back in the 4th.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I feel it might be early to bring this up but OKC at full strength and SA isn't in the game...

I really hope Ibaka can play this series out, it will go 6.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

If they can make Durant and West play 35+ minutes, I like their chances in game 2


I was worried Pop would empty the bench and let them get an easy 4th quarter


The big thing in game 1 and game 2 was that Durant/West had nothing left in the tank.

 

[Kold]

Well, like I said, I don't think Ibaka makes a difference as far as the outcome of the series goes....but like I also said, he makes a WORLD of a difference on defense(and also offense) for okc.

 

[thunderc]

Brooks played a lot of guys in the 1st half tonight and I wish he would do more of it. They were the best team in the NBA for a while when Westbrook was out and they were running 10 deep.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Brooks is playing IBAKA still????


Why is he running him into the ground? That is some poor coaching.


They don't game 4 days off next game.

 

[SilverFalco8]

Great job by the Thunder tonight.

 

[outlaw okie]

Adam's gonna be special for this team over the next few years.

 

[thunderc]

If they keep stats on missed dunks Westbrook leads it.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

SPUR set a 40 year record for the fewest free throws in a playoff game?


That is cool.


At least there was something of note.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

7 FTs is kind of ridiculous...wait make it 9 after these.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

This is a series again, Spurs better watch out. This series could be a replay of what happen to them by the Thunder 2 years ago. Yiles!

 

[thunderc]

Not to be ignored should be the fact that Brooks finally wised up and left Sefoloshas ass on the bench.

 

[SilverFalco8]

Adam's gonna be special for this team over the next few years.

Yes, he is!

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Damn it, they got their NINTH freethrow


I wanted them to set a record.


If OKC is going to get 31 freethrows, it would be funny for the Spurs to make history.

 

[bksballer89]

Not to be ignored should be the fact that Brooks finally wised up and left Sefoloshas ass on the bench.

Did he really have a choice?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

SPURS racking up the freethrows late here in garbage time


Lets give them an extra 8 meaningless freethrows late so it looks closer.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

35 point home win


9 point road loss


Is Serge Ibaka worth 44 points?


It is probably a combination of the homecourt, the extra 3 days rest, and Serge Ibaka.

 

[thunderc]

Ibaka such a good dude.
