it was 103-106 after that harden 4 point play, Manu missed the 3 that could of tied the game.

Dunno, it just seems like the Spurs are in some jaded mood like, 24 minutes of the game, and then they are like "oh shit" and start playing really hard.

Probability wise, Spurs prob gonna lose, I don't think theres a lot of teams that come back from 3-2, but, as a fan, I BELIIIIIIEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE.  In Manu I trust!  What a game he played! too bad everyone else sucked major D.

No way! If these old geezers win they'll end up giving LeBron his first ring in the finals, and we can't have that. Also, talking about Manu not getting enough shots? Durant got hardly any there at the end when it was coming down to the wire. Not sure if Westbrook is going renegade or if Scott Brooks is just letting him do whatever he wants, but he's lucky the game wasn't thrown away like in game 1.

Dude we aint thaaat old, besides like Duncan and Manu we are a pretty young team..Tony's 30, Sjax is 33, Boris might be 30 or something, but besides that everyone's like under 27.

I don't think we'd lose to Miami, or the Celtics.  The Spurs and OKC I thought were the best two teams in the league, and pretty much whoever wins the WCF would be the NBA champs.

Yeah, that's just typical Russell, I said if OKC was going down, he would be their downfall, the fool never passes.  That's why I say like, if you trade Russel for a pass-1st good/elite PG, Durant would be a god.

[M.Holmes]

Don't forget Jackson and Bonner who are up in their 30s as well

Yeah I said SJax already, but dude, the Spurs aren't that old, we aren't even like top 5 oldest teams in the league

Can't believe we're gonna lose to pubic hair beard and a guy who dresses like craig sager *cries

[M.Holmes]

Even Barkley says it''s a wrap! Both Manu and Parker nearly played the full 48 and they still lost at home, so I'm going to have to agree with him. The Thunder just have better players at the end of the day.

Unless there's some major choking or injuries on OKC's part, it's pretty much over. There's still a chance though, I'll admit.



Looking to tomorrow, I think the Heat will seal it off at home with the return of Bosh. Not sure what's going on with Wade lately, but I hope he returns to form before the finals so it'll be a good series no matter who faces them.

Also, don't hate on Westbrook's swag! It's all he has going for him as of late.

nah i gotta believe.  If we can push to a game 7 on our HC, there's still a chance!  Manu only played 38 minutes, he needed dat full 48! lol NO REST.  I'm going to pull the "OKC is young" card and the "experience" card.

THERE'S A CHANCE.  That's all I can really hope for...to be quite honest I'm not very confident, and I'm kind of depressed, because this might be the true death of this Spurs dynasty as we know it.  Timmy's 36..Manu's 34..Tony can't carry an entire team by himself.  We don't have a 1st round draft pick this year...I really wanted Timmy to ride off in the sunset with a trophy in hand.  Pop ain't gonna stay and coach w.o Manu or Timmy...

..gonna go commit sepukku now.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Bosh is coming back already? Yeah that'll definitely change things...

[Beastly]

What a game despite both teams seemingly under-performing. The Thunder have shut down the Spurs who previously had a 20 game win streak - they deserve this series.

No the Spurs deserve this series!! OKC is gonna win like the next 10 years, let our franchise go out with a bang!  I refuse to accept this new age of players and style of athletic guard basketball.

Anyways, I'm pretty sad.  The one good qualm I noticed was that Spurs played really hard that 4th quarter, and almost tied the game.  If they can play that way in a die or go home situation for game 6, it can be pushed to a game 7 on homecourt.

From the most recent games, I just don't feel confident when San Antonio gets the lead, because their defense is so bad and can't stop Kevin Durant, freaking insane.  It doesn't help that Thabo and Ibaka are having career games in this series as well.

Gotta play perfect this next game, the big 3 all have to play big, none of this only Manu BS I've been seeing, and for the love of god, pass it to Manu more Tony.  Especially when's he that hot...

With you bro... Celtics/Spurs please? But for Ab Strain my Father who is a doctor told me that if you felt you're healthy wait after like 10 mins of physical activity and it will probably be back... But of course this is the NBA and they have top notch doctors... But hard getting into rhythm, KG will bully this Ostrich... My only gripe is they will have better plays/spacing now with him there rather than get LeBron or Chalmers the ball in the first half and Wade or LeBron Iso/fast break in 2nd half.

I'm probably not going to school because of this so hopefully Cs win.

Thunder are going to take this looks like. I'm holding out hope that the Heat get this together tonight and hoping Bosh is ready to go for at least Game 7 if it comes down to it (if not earlier).

[M.Holmes]

Rondo and Pierce are throwing up Westbrick-like numbers as far as FG percentage, but the Celtics are still in great position to take this away game in Miami. Only down by 2 at the half despite Bosh's return and missing a lot of shots - not sure why Miami is playing like a post-injury Chicago Bulls.

[dilbertschalter]

(anti)-hype!

heat are so pathetic near the end of the game, though i suppose it was really the second and third quarters that did them in. also bosh coming back was not good for the heat- he made some shots, but couldn't move, which meant that on balance his contribution was negative.

[Beastly]

YES YES YES NOBODY BELIEVES US BUT WE GOT A BIGGER GOAL...

P.S. how we go into the all star break under .500 and now 1 win away from getting into Finals? Unreal...

[dilbertschalter]

thunder will 4-1 the celtics. might be close if the spurs somehow manage to pull through.
