    OKC will close it out in six and the only thing historic will be how overrated the Spurs were in this series.

    Yes, I was just referring to the offensive side of the ball. Defensively, the adjustment on the pick and roll has been very important. To me, both have played a big role in the turn around of the series.

    I honestly didnt care who won this series until last night. The Spurs tried to flop their way to a win. Every play they complained to the refs it was sickening. I don't stand for flopping and Parker and Ginobili are the two worst, more so Parker.

    Hope the Thunder finish them off in game 6.

    The Spurs are getting finished Wednesday night, sorry. The talent of the Thunder and the OKC crowd will push them to the finals.

    Yep can't stand him or our very own Scola!!! It's embarrassing when Scola flops and still gets a call.

    Agreed. One big reason I can't stand Rockets ball either anymore is the way Scola and Martin flop around. I dont understand how anyone can find this entertaining. It is not basketball.

    Harden is a flopper too.

    Everyone flops, but Ginobili and Parker took it to levels unseen last night.

    Yeah but not as bad as Parker was last night. Parker spent most of the time flailing him arms in the air and on the floor last night.

    The worst part was they flopped so desperately late in the game. They wanted the Refs to get caught up in the emotion of the crowd and get a charge on Thunder players just moving without the ball.

    They knew they couldn't stop the Thunder with their defense so they resorted to just falling down, sad. Westbrook got a layup because Manu fell over in the paint. I lol'd.

    Just look at Jax here:

    Pathetic.

    I was seriously upset at the flopping by the Spurs last night. I usually don't get this upset unless it's the Rockets, but it was a **** stain on the NBA. There was one replay they showed while going to a commercial break where Tony Parker got stripped, looked back, then threw his arms in the air and fell to the ground. The refs fell for it at first, but props to them for letting it go late in the game. I absolutely hate Ginobili. I wish excessive floppers could be banned from the NBA, and yes, that includes Scola and Martin, and Lowry is traveling down that path as well too.

    They were flopping so pathetically that even Ginobili's bald spot flopped.

    This one between Manu and Harden is priceless:

    The Spurs just look gassed...their best bet was to finish of this young team quickly and really stunk up the joint in OKC...now after losing last night...Sadly this spurs team looks all but done...OKC is just playing on a different level...One more thing...

    KD was limited in touches down the stretch...Westbrook was extremely poor down the stretch with some ill advised shots and poor isolation plays...The ball should be in Kevins hands when its closing time...OKC was lucky for Harden to hit such a huge shot...bc if not...the spurs were closing in (they were down 10 with 2 minutes to play)...Harden saved OKC last night...and westbrook almost cost them this game...Kevin Durant should have ball at all costs...

    Btw...if OKC loses Harden via FA in a couple of years...they really would be foolish....Harden, Ibaka and Durant should be the core that should always be in OKC...they should look to trade Westbrook...he is too erratic and too emotional...i can really see him being a cancer for this good chemistry in the future...just imo

    I understand Manu flopped but damn he was amazing when he wasn't on the floor.

    The Spurs are 2-5 in road game 6s. Both those times they won the game 6 on the road the proceeded to come back home and lose game 7 . The spurs have never won a series when faced with a road game 6. In recent memory only against New Orleans did they come back from a 3-2 hole. They lost to LA in 04 and Dallas in 06.

    lol. honestly, if you know Ginobody is going to do that to you, you might as well either mirror him or punch him. Who got the call, btw? I don't remember it.
