Spurs started off the game well, then went on a scoring drought starting at the 2 min mark of the 1st quarter; back to hitting shots again; but their defense has been terrible all night, and our bench isn't sharp tonight.

RJ just hit a 3

SA 40-46

Perkins and Blair have to be separated!!!

Double Ts

Blair just smiles while Perkins, well Perkins just has his normal scowl


I like that Pop is giving Kawhi a chance to guard Durant; and he is doing a decent job at it.

This is looking like one of those games where the Spurs can only get within 4-5, but then other team extends lead again


Oh what a pass and run in the Broncos game!!!

48-54 Halftime

Spurs are playing sloppy all around, but these refs aren't helping;

Thunder most likely win

63-77...

Agreed, that was ugly, but the refs definitely seemed to be "hometown".

This was one of those traditional loses for the Spurs; before it got ugly, Spurs got within 4-5 points numerous times, each answered by a Thunder run.

96-108

Parker couldn't finish at the rim all night.

Green wasn't even half the level he was at the 2 previous games.

Our main bench rotation of Ford, Green, Leonard, and Splitter didn't bring the energy and didn't seem to have the chemistry they had last couple of games.

Kawhi Leonard with first career double double (13 and 10). Did a decent job guarding Durant.

Ike has to go, he let C. Aldrich(not exactly the quickest guy in the world) go right past him on the sideline to the basket, starting at the 3 point line.

Next up, Bucks on Tuesday.
