Tons of deficiency on this team offensively, not the Spurs of old. People overrate KL and LMA and think they have a championship mentality, when in reality few player ever do. And those few players WERE Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. Not this group, Duncan hardly plays and contributes basically nothing.
You will see a changing of the guard tonight in SA, and the true championship dynasty(D, P, G) will finally come to an end.
THEY JUST DON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE. Just watch, it will be painful to watch the refs attempt to keep SA in the game with all the blatant "home calls" but around late 3rd/early 4th people will start to realize it's coming to an end. (And announcers will start talking about how this could be the last game ever for Tim and Manu to play on this court.
My humble opinion, I honestly don't think it's close tonight. I think the Thunder run away with it and leave the SA crowd in awe/shock...
Ps, if Duncan wasn't such a shell of himself I would NOT feel this way. But rumors are he can hardly walk around right now as his knee cartilage is severely gone. And supposedly he's been on pain killers every game to keep pushing.

The reason why LMA is on the Spurs is because he took less money to play for an organization that wins. Oh and LMA is the best PF in the NBA. I lost brain cells reading this.

I agreed with you but take San Antonio for a easy win tonight. When you lose just take it, don't take excuses because of referees or vegas or fixed games.
The game have to be like that, it's second round. It does not easy like first round as you think ok.

I was leaning SA last nigt, but today Im leaning OKC for tonight. I do feel SA are on the decline although they had the 2nd best regular season record. Parker, Manu looks old, obviously Duncan too.

This conversation would not have happened if the refs hadn't done anything in their hands to make OKC the winner of game 2. Series should have been 3-1. I see a clear pattern this series and that's pushing OKC forward.
SA is the much much better team, but with today's NBA officials... Who know... That's just awful. Just to sound objective, yesterday I had GSW -5 (posted) and I totally think that Donaghy's best friend, Foster, pushed GSW as they struggled keeping up with the blazers (every time they cut the lead in the 3rd and 4th, CJ or DL or GH buried jumpers).
In an uncorrupt world full with justice - SA should have won 4-1 or 4-2 max (which can still happen).

To say the refs gave OKC the win is laughable. There were over 5 different fouls on both teams during that last inbound play in game 2. It was just bad officiating. No way was it fixed towards the Thunder.

I'm not taking about the last seconds of a game...I'm taking about the whole game in general. People say there is about a 4.5-5.5 point home court advantage at home in the NBA playoffs. I think that is absurd!! Call the game how it is...if it a DAMN foul then call the foul. If it's not then don't. I'm so tired of watching games and feeling the refs officiated a game a certain way to please the home crowd/team. Shouldn't be like that. And basketball is the 1 sport where home games seem to affect the split wayyyyy more than another sport.

You watched Spurs lose At thunders homecourt and now they are now they have zero chance to win? You should not be betting on games and find another hobby

Some valid points in this thread. The Spurs offense is getting to be too predictable and Manu n Duncan are hard to watch. The ball is almost always going to Aldridge or Kawahi. Sure they are both amazing plays but dont have much support around them. Sure Mills, Green , Diaw and West will get theirs , but OKC looks like the more athletic and quicker team. Westbrook and Durant are a killer playmaking combination , if Ibaka can keep hitting those 3s and Adam keeps playing tough I could see another close game tonight.
What do u guys think?

Mtolliver, reading your thoughts here, all it does is affirm how off you are. I chose a nicer word there. Parker looks 5 years younger?! Are u serious. Of all the guys to say that about, this isn't the guy SO FAR. He had one good half. Maybe he turns it around but what an a$$backwards assessment to make so far. 5 years younger?! Wake up. Are YOU watching this series bud?

And you are telling me that that game was reffed straight up at the end? The ref was 2 feet away watching the ball being in bounded yet no whistle? Did you know where the money was on that game?! Come on! So what was it then? A human error?! These refs go through extensive video and training yet you fall for the media saying they've never seen anything like that?! Regardless, it's a violation. Wake up please. That game was 100 percent fixed.

Trey you need help. Kawhi and LaMarcus overrated?! Yikes. With the spurs going out in the first round last year, something tells me they are ultra focused tonite. Something also tells me the duncans, ginobilis and the bench step up. Lastly, Pop or the college coach from florida? Hmmmm. Trey get help please.
