To be fair, David West has been part of the problem this series

David West in one series has blown an entire season of good will. And I'm not sure why Pop continues to play him. To be honest, I'm not really sure WHAT Pop is doing. Why has he not at least TRIED putting Martin or Simmons out to at least see if they can provide an offensive spark? Not like Mills and Green have not been disasters.

Warriors 4-1 over OKC. Book it. Corral Durant and Westbrook inside. Let Westbrook and Roberson chuck away to their hearts content from 3.

I wonder how much he's regretting that pay cut right now.

 

[Starphoenix]

I wonder how much he's regretting that pay cut right now.

Considering he's been costing them this series, probably not too much.

 

[LyleLanley]

Considering he's been costing them this series, probably not too much.

But he could've been getting bounced in the second round with Indiana for $8M.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Damn. So this is how Duncan goes out?

 

[Fjordson]

Duncan being done hurt David West tbh. West is solid, but he's a backup big to hit a few elbow jumpers at most. Tough matchup for him and Duncan against young athletic guys like Steven Adams or Enes Kanter.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Damn. So this is how Duncan goes out?

Just thinking the same thing. Oh well, not gonna feel bad for the team that whooped us in '07

 

[PadWarrior]

Wow

 

[Battersea Power Station]

I wonder how much he's regretting that pay cut right now.

Not at all. He's said numerous times the experience of playing with this squad has been life-affirming. And he and his wife have been incredibly smart with his sizeable career earnings.

 

[LyleLanley]

Ainge should offer a 2nd round pick for Kawhi.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Not like this Spurs.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ya know, this game is also reminiscent of the 07 ECF between the Pistons and the Cavs.

LeBron scored the last 30 points or something ridiculous to steal game 5, then The Pistons were DOA in Cleveland where Boobie Gibson hit like 10 three pointers or something also ridiculous, and the Pistons got steam rolled.

Never thought I'd see this from the Spurs though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Gonna be real interesting to see how the Spurs reload around LMA and Kahwai. Maybe they go after a PG?

 

[Team Alucard]

Spuds flopping all over the place

 

[NervousXtian]

This is embarrassing.

As a Blazer fan I am getting joy in knowing LA got only as far they did.

Finally grab one of those Euros they have stashed abroad maybe.

Whoa whoa, don't get crazy here.

Spoiler

Conditional 2nd.

I remember that. LeBron was on fire that night.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Spurs have problems scoring at times. Been a thing all season. But their defense doesnt look elite against this quick Thunder team.

 

[Tubobutts]

I just started watching and holy crap at the score.

 

[NervousXtian]

Aldrige winded there.. damn..

 

[notoriousKTR]

 

[Elfforkusu]

This shits just pure salt.

I don't have any skin in the game, except that I've been hoping for peak Warriors vs peak Spurs all year. It's not gonna happen, so I'm bummed.

I don't think OKC has a shot. They might take 1, I guess.


Cavs vs Warriors could be really interesting, though.

 

[santeesioux]

There's more than a few Blazer fans that are laughing right now.

 

[Starphoenix]

That's the problem with the Spurs this year: they have not had a consistent offense all season. They've survived by keeping the game low scoring and edging out teams, but against the offensive firepowers they've been buried. Spurs from two years ago would have kept this game much closer. :\

 

[Cooter]

It depends if GS brings their A game. If they do I agree with you. If they don't OKC can most definitely win the series.

 

[KaYotiX]

Man San Antonio..... What the hell. Atleast give a little fight.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Anyone give OKC any chance of beating the Warriors?

Of course. They crushed the Spurs, they could beat Golden State or Cleveland.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Yeah, offense wins championships in basketball, and apart from LMA and Kawhi, they can't score.

It depends if GS brings their A game. If they do I agree with you. If they don't OKC can most definitely win the series.

Only if Curry gets hurt again.

 

[cyborg009]

Damn Manu with a -27 at the half and Kawhi -18

 

[random25]

This is sad...not like this Spurs.

 

[J2 Cool]

Damn. So this is how Duncan goes out?

He had a player option to go out with a title at 38

 

[Fjordson]

Man I hope Roberson isn't becoming good right before they play the Warriors. Needs to go back to bricking. 3's.

 

[unknownstranger]

Lol Spurs getting killed by Roberson.

 

[PadWarrior]

Duncan coming in to put this team on his back. Here comes the run.

 

[Cheebo]

Only if Curry gets hurt again.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Not comfortable saying this game is over. For some reason.

 

[Kevtones]

If OKC gets throttled by GSW...


Thinking Portland gets one of the key FAs.

[friskykillface]

Thunder will over achieve and go to the finals, then get swept

 

[Elfforkusu]

Always a possibility


I'd actually love to see OKC give GS a run for their money. I just don't see it happening with Curry healthy.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

If OKC beats the Warriors I'll put all the money on Cleveland. All of it.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Thunder will over achieve and go to the finals, then get swept

I'd be OK with this

 

[Hyperactivity]

Man, Spurs...

 

[friskykillface]

shitty role players always have that break out game in a close out game

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Man, Spurs...

damn shame how this going down

 

[KazenY2J]

Robertson drank some of Mike's Secret Stuff

 

[Mr Cola]

Some extreme payback for game 1

 

[Lionel Richie]

Ainge should offer a 2nd round pick for Kawhi.

Don't get greedy, maybe Sullinger + Mavs pick would work.
