From an individual standpoint, Tim Duncan has been the most MIA player this series. Parker, Ginobili, KD, Westbrook, and Harden have all taken turns having great games.

Duncan has played like a bum. Ibaka is outplaying Duncan. It's actually surprising the Spurs will take the Thunder to 6 games with Duncan playing so bad.

But from a team standpoint, the Spurs have flat out abandoned their team offense. So you can't pin it all on Duncan.

This isn't by choice. OKC has had something to do with that.

I'm in shock over how different the spurs look in the last 3 games. I know okc is very good, and they made some adjustments...but this is not the spurs who won 20 straight

I love the press conferences. Both of these teams have players who give good answers.

Professionals.

OKC is really this good folks. Hell if they wouldn't have choked away Game 1 this series would be over right now.

He missed the game winner and 84% chance the spurs will lose the series now a result.

Yeah id say thats not clutch.

Because he missed one shot? I'd say he's done enough over his career to say that the claim that he isn't clutch is flat out retarded. It was a tough shot that was double teamed. He was facing a defense that basically was only guarding him.

How did you come up with that calculation?

Easy...espnstats

With a best of 7 series tied 2-2 the game 5 winner wins it the series 84% of the time.

Also.... if OKC moves on and plays and beats Boston in the finals, OKC will have beaten the last 4 NBA champs in this years playoffs.

I hope OKC wins it all, so when my wife and I visit Seattle next month we can rock some Thunder gear (too much?)

I like our chances.

But seriously though the spurs have been here before. I wouldn't be surprised to see them comeback the next game.

This board is ridiculous.

Manu goes for 30+ and misses game winner with good D and everyone needs to "calm the F down" because he is the man.

Lebron goes for 30+ and misses game winner with good D and he is unclutch and a loser who will never win the big one. Oh and it's Spoelstra's fault.

Hipocrites...

Haha, Shaq has been good the last few minutes. I'll give him that.

Only this show can make me laugh after the way the Spurs have played lately.

I won't actually do it though. I grew up in Houston and lost the Oilers in HS, I know the feeling.

If you are quoting me as the general public, then that is kind of stereotypical. I have not mentioned Lebron James, nor quoted him; nor do I give a **** about him.

TP is 16/51 in the last 3. Green/Leonard/Bonner have missed quite a few wide open 3s, and OKC has collapsed the paint on TP. The spurs just aren't going to win missing the shots they've made all year.

TP's performance has been by design by the OKC coaching staff. They've forced SA to go to their 2nd and 3rd options and let somebody else create offense and SA as a team hasn't reponded.

I have only watched about 20 Spurs games this season. I don't remember any other team corralling TP like this. Did any other team try this defensive set or were other teams just not as effective in doing so?

The Thunder have done an excellent job of keeping him out of the paint. I think the reason you won't see this in the regular season is because the intensity level is just not there, and teams do not necessarily have the time to make those adjustments.

I also think Tony hasn't played with the fire and passion we saw earlier in the playoffs and this series. The defense can take some credit for that, but the careless passes and lack of protecting the ball is a focus problem.

Had a dream that the Spurs won a very close game after a huge comeback. Hope this comes to pass next game.

I have had OKC in 6 from the start.

That was a helluva game last night!

This OKC team is a very, very good team, and that was a great game last night.

I was pissed last night. Hopefully, Spurs can get 6 and 7.

This is one of the best playoff series I've seen in a long time in terms of the quality of these two teams.

Rocket fan checking in here......

This thing isn't over yet. If the Spurs pull out a win next game, anything can happen in a game 7. Even if it is over on Wednesday, there's no shame in losing to OKC 4-2.

With the rockets being down the last 15 years or so, it has been really fun to root for the Spurs. They have been much more likeable than the Mavericks.

Harden makes a 3, Ginobili misses one.
