    I hate that OKC didn't go small yet.

    Wow, of all the illegal screens in a game, that was a weak one to call.

    SJax and TP brought their games faces and the Spurs need to ride them until Manu and TD wake up. The scary thing is KD hasn't done anything, Harden is shooting bricks and OKC is still up 9.

    Spurs need TP to take over and for those 3s to keep falling.

    I wonder if Thunder learned how to pass by watching SA game tape.

    That Leonard shot should not count. Spurs are lucky they aren't down more.

    as much as the refs would love that 3 to count, it looked like it was still in leonard's hands. a palming violation and a moving screen called on the other team in a spurs game? come on now.

    Are there a lot of Spurs fans on this board? 'Cause the Thunder are playing great and this thread is dead.

    Do you remember the Suns game in the middle of the season where it was clear Westbrook was copying Steve Nash?

    That one doesn't come to mind. Was that the Harden 40 point game?

    I'm shocked by the Spurs and can't believe they didn't bring more in the 1st half. If KD and Harden get untracked in the 2nd half, it's ballgame.

    TP and Manu have to pick it up and create for themselves and the Spurs 3-point shooters.
