Spurs vs. Thunder - 2012 Western Conference Finals

Someone should make a Spurs Heat NBA Finals thread.

 

OKC should stick with the line up they had at the end minus Fisher

 

I think that title holds up and gives them the most credibility to win this year considering Dallas is out. We don't know how the spurs will repsond after a grueling series with the thunder.

 

Refs typically favor the aggressive team

 

The refs are helping the electric Spurs through each and every series because they are the clear draw in today's NBA. Who wants to see Durant in the Finals anyway?

 

The game was fairly officiated, most of you guys are just sour that the spurs are in the finals. Just enjoy the beautiful game they're playing and stop complaining. It's impossible not to like them at least a bit, if you're actually a fan of the game of basketball.

 

The Spurs' average point differential through the playoffs so far is +12.2. They are not just winning. They are blowing people out.

 

Not sure how Fisher took Sefolosha's spot.

 

Fisher is a scrub compared to Maynor.

 

16-21 FG tony parker...damn

 

Take out hack a Splitter and the Thunder shot 12 more free throws.

What about James Harden's 4 step travel AND 1 where he decided that dribbling is for idiots.

 

Pointing out a few instances wherein you personally believe that there was a bad call does not prove any alleged bias from the referees.

This is especially true when you check the box score and realize that the Thunder shot 36 FT's vs. 35 for the Spurs. OKC shot more free throws despite intentionally fouling the Spurs for over 2:30 minutes at one point in the game.

Seriously, just stop it.

 

well said... but the first halve calls... like fisher out of bounds.. and the clear block by west brook add up to the Refs winning the game for a team and not the play of the coaches and players

The Spurs won but the Refs Killed my hope of a great game!!!

ZZpot

 

i've complained all season about all the calls the thunder get. but they were on the bad end tonight. i mean indisputable stuff like durant getting hit to force an airball, parker getting a shot spiked into the floor only to get free throws, goaltending on a block, fisher being called out when he wasn't particularly close to being out. those types of things. and that's not to mention how nice the refs are being on okc drives when it comes to the spurs big challenging shots and sliding under guys with no calls, but i guess everyone always thinks they don't get those calls. but the indisputably bad stuff was mostly going the spurs way tonight.

ginobili just drove straight into harden's chest and then hit him in the face. that can't be a foul on harden.

 

Well, I'm actually going to OKC to see game 3 live. I just hope it's half as entertaining as the last 2 have been.

 

it was literally the big three out there for oklahoma and NOBODY else.

what a joke. they better they win at least 1 of the next 2, break this ******* winning streak...

 

what about ginobili tackling harden on a 3 with no call? they're, now we're equal on those 2 plays.

 

Before the foul fest hackathon at the end of the third Spurs only had 2 more FTs than the Thunder and they're at home. That doesn't explain the 16 pt lead at that point..

 

I can't remember if Tony Parker missed a mid-range jumper tonight. He is unguardable if he is making his jumpshot. I thought the Thunder played him the right way on defense.

 

He was tripped by Ibaka. Kerr even mentioned this over the broadcast.
