I'll be shocked if we win this game. Games like this give me false hope. The Spurs will stay close and make their run in the fourth.

That foul seems to have ignited Green.

Oladipo... Traded? Nah. He's one of the only guys that can shoot threes.

Hope the defense can hold up. This is the best defense I've seen in a long while from the guys.

Alright I didn't watch any of this. Was tired, took a nap, been watching college. Saw they were winning and didn't want to jinx it.

I'm confused but OK.

Now at least we have some competition between Gibson/Sabonis and McDermott/Abrines. Hopefully this will make them better. For next season the SF position needs to be adressed. As much as I like Roberson“s defense, noone frustrates me as much on offense.

But a nice performance to beat Spurs. Its so much easier to watch OKC games with old Adams back

I don't even know anymore. I know the Spurs didn't have Parker or Ginobili, but we just beat them soundly. This iteration of the Spurs is still better than the last four teams we played and lost to; not to mention the Spurs were riding a nine game win streak coming into tonight.

On another note, I checked the score with around 2 minutes to go and we were up by 20 and end up winning by 10. What did we do the last two minutes to let the Spurs go on a 10-0 run?
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

Don't wanna overact over a regular season win but I don't know if it's best to play houston or the spurs.
On one hand, I prefer playing Houston because Roberson defends so well against Harden and I hope the rest of the team can do his job. On the other hand we play so well with our bigs against the spurs and they have no answer for Westbrook.

Well, still better to play the rockets but I would give us some 15% to beat the spurs on a play off series ( which is still a lot comparing a 60 wins team to a 40-45)

Took Russ out of the game.

This is what we need every night. Vic needs to average 20 a game and Adams and Kanter both played solid.
