GT: Thunder vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Tue Apr 12, 2016 12:20 pm

When: 6:00 PM MT Apr. 12th 2016
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio TX

Last home game of the regular season and it's against a very tough and talented team that we we may have to beat in the playoffs. Still no word yet on whether everyone is suiting up, but it should be a good game regardless.

Go Spurs!!

Spurs playing everyone, Thunder resting their two stars.

Should be a win to equal the best home record of all time. Hopefully we get a good rhythm going into the playoffs.

Mills, West and Martin in early. Aldridge still out there. I actually don't understand why LMA is even playing. He dislocated his finger on his shooting hand and two shots in a row, went left handed. Then next play bricked two free throws and just bricked a long jumper, running back adjusting the strapping on that finger. His shooting form is different, not a good sign. Not at all.

edit: And we are down 11 after one...

Marv Albert needs to retire.

I said in a game thread earlier this season I couldn't fathom how he was calling Diaw, Duncan. How he called Anderson a rookie etc.

Tonight he has called Dion Waiters - Wade Waiters and also Waiter.

He then called Anderson a rookie.

He then said 'the Spurs lost to the Warriors and now have lost three in a row and now the Spurs can become the only team to have never lost back to back games'.

Then said the Spurs beat the Spurs.

How do useless 'experts' like Marv keep a job in sports broadcasting?

I missed the first half, mostly because I don't care after the GS embarrassment. Looks as if the team doesn't care either thus far. Tony looks ok in the 3rd but against scrubs it doesn't mean much.

As much as I hate to say it. I really think this is the end for Timmy. He just looks so old and slow and frustrated. I hope he gets a spark in the playoffs because i think this is his last one.

This is just an ugly game. Kind of expected it though. I really thought we were going to beat the Warriors and lose this game but now it doesn't matter either way. I'm ready for the regular season to end.

D is struggling because Boban is so slow.

Kawhi looked inexperienced and unsure on that game winning miss but other than that he is Jordan like from mid range. Just amazing.

If LMA and Diaw get healthy we will be fine going into the playoffs, I expect everyone to rest against Dallas.

Obviously in the West, any of the 8 teams are capable of winning but it's now on this team to build up to their best for a potential Warriors conference final.

Strange game, when we play like that I get nervous.
