马刺 @ 雷霆 114 - 127 技术统计 | 视频集锦
By Mateo Mayorga | Pounding The Rock (PtR), 2026-05-27 03:24:29
圣安东尼奥马刺已被卫冕冠军逼到了淘汰的边缘,他们现在将回到霜冻银行中心球馆,力求在周四的比赛中挽救赛点。他们没有从维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 那里得到足够的火力支持,他全场26.7%的命中率仅得到20分,外加7个篮板;达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 同样手感冰凉,以相同的效率仅得9分。此外,球队在防守端最终开始过度赌博。
马刺打得过于吃力,而雷霆则展现出更强的侵略性,后者的传导球和突破分球制造了更多的空档。谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 毫无疑问是全场最佳球员,在球队缺少重要火力的情况下,他用大师级的表现统治了比赛。
比赛观察
首节的防守压迫感极强,但随后马刺有所松懈。虽然防守并未彻底崩盘,但这给亚历山大和贾里德·麦凯恩 (Jared McCain)(在第三节)提供了足够的喘息空间来找回手感。此后,在没有犯规麻烦的阶段,马刺曾一度找回防守节奏,但斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在第四节初就分别领到了个人第5次犯规,这严重影响了球队的防守轮转。值得注意的是,主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在约翰逊领到第5犯后仍将他留在场上。
第二节打得十分艰难,亚历克斯·卡鲁索 (Alex Caruso) 甚至在客场听到了MVP的呼声。马刺送给了对手太多罚球,这打乱了他们自己的进攻节奏。在第一节通过转换进攻拿到大量分数后,他们不得不陷入更多的阵地战。期间他们曾有过短暂的高光时刻,打出一波9-0的小高潮,其中还包括约翰逊顶着切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 强攻篮下得手。然而,由于接踵而至的犯规,他们未能延续这一势头,半场结束时落后11分。
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 拼抢极其积极,仿佛“房租今晚到期”般拼命,但他有时在防守端用力过猛,反而作茧自缚。他在防守亚历山大时犯下愚蠢错误,在防守三分失地后又送对手上罚球线。他未能控制好自己的防守动作,这也是他在垃圾时间之前仅出场不到三分钟的原因。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在首节手感火热,包揽了球队单节27分中的13分,帮助球队度过了数次得分荒。他最精彩的一球是迎着霍姆格伦突破,并在底线顶着他的防守完成终结。
此外,尚帕尼和约翰逊是上半场马刺队仅有的两位至少命中3个运动战进球的球员。
除了约翰逊之外,圣安东尼奥的替补席贡献寥寥。在麦凯恩首发且阿杰·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell) 未出场的情况下,雷霆的替补得分比马刺多了7分。尽管如此,约翰逊投中的记三分球和积极的拼抢,依然是马刺在下半场重新咬住比分的关键。
比赛初期,当文班负责协防时,马刺试图用体型较小的球员去给霍姆格伦施压,但效果不佳。不过,随着比赛的进行,霍姆格伦的威胁逐渐减弱。
雷霆在今年季后赛中还从未遭遇过连败。此外,根据NBA官方数据统计,在七局四胜制的系列赛中取得3-2领先的球队,晋级概率高达84%。
篮板球本是马刺赢球的关键因素,但在G5中,他们输了9个篮板,并让对手拿到了26分二次进攻得分。
比赛初期失误是个大问题。尽管马刺此后在控制失误方面表现尚可,但关键时刻的投篮打铁成为了比赛后期的致命伤。例如,在进攻端毫无存在感的德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 投丢了一记上篮,随后麦凯恩迅速推反击飙中追身三分,在比赛还剩6分钟时帮助雷霆确立了13分的领先优势。

San Antonio at Oklahoma City, Final Score: Spurs stars struggle in Game 5 loss to Thunder, 127-114
The San Antonio Spurs have been pushed by the defending champions to the edge of elimination, and will now return to Frost Bank Center, trying to hold it off on Thursday. They didn’t get enough from Victor Wembanyama who only scored 20 points on 26.7 percent shooting, with seven rebounds, and De’Aaron Fox had nine points on the same efficiency, plus the team eventually started gambling too much on defense.
They were working too hard while the Thunder played more forcefully, and their ball movement plus dribble penetration exposed more openings. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the best player, and seized the day with a masterful performance while his team was without significant firepower.
Observations
The pressure in the first quarter was unforgiving, but they loosened up, and while it wasn’t terrible, it allowed enough breathing room for SGA and Jared McCain (in the third) to get hot. The team subsequently got back to its ways at times, when they weren’t fouling, but Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson picked up their fifth fouls early in the fourth, which gravely affected coverages. Notably, coach Mitch Johnson kept K. Johnson in after his.
The second quarter was rough since Alex Caruso got MVP chants, and they allowed too many free throw attempts, which cut the flow of their offense and they had to play too much in the half-court after scoring a good chunk in transition in the first. They had a brief spurt of success, going on a 9-0 run that included K. Johnson powering through Holmgren at the rim, yet couldn’t sustain it because of more fouls and went to halftime down 11 points.
Carter Bryant hustles like the rent is due at midnight, but he can be his own worst enemy by trying to do too much on defense. He committed a foolish foul on SGA, putting him on the line after giving up a 3-pointer. He wasn’t in control and that’s why he played fewer than three minutes before garbage time.
Julian Champagnie had the hot hand in the first quarter, scoring 13 of the team’s 27 points, and he helped the them get over multiple droughts. His most impressive move was driving against Holmgren and finishing against him on the baseline. On top of that, Champagnie and K. Johnson were the only Spurs to log at least three first-half field goals.
San Antonio’s bench didn’t do enough, aside from K. Johnson, since OKC’s outscored theirs by seven when McCain started and Ajay Mitchell didn’t play. Still, it was Johnson’s multiple treys and hustle that was critical in making the game competitive again in the second half.
The team initially struggled to pressure Holmgren with smaller players while Wemby played help defense. But Holmgren got weaker as the game went on.
The Thunder have not lost consecutive games in the playoffs. On top of that, teams that lead a best-of-seven series 3-2 advance 84 percent of the time, per the NBA’s Facts and Figures.
The Spurs’ rebounding had been a big factor in their wins, but they got beat on the boards by nine and they permitted 26 second-chance points in Game 5.
Turnovers were a problem early, and while it was just an OK night in ball security, timely misses emerged as the late problem, like when Devin Vassell, who was a non offensive factor, missed a layup, and McCain raced down the court fro a transition triple to put OKC ahead by 13 points with six minutes left.

热评
周四回到主场打第六场(G6)。伙计们应该会为此充满能量。你早就知道今晚无论如何雷霆都会做出回应。我希望托尼·布拉德斯 (Tony Brothers) 不要再执裁任何一场比赛了。
米奇(主帅米奇·约翰逊)叫了挑战却被无视。漏掉了雷霆一次明显的干扰球。这样的回合可能会改变比赛走向。我希望我们的伙计们在周四能像周日那样摧毁雷霆。
这是米奇执教最差的一场比赛。伙计们打出了季后赛最烂的一场球。我知道他们对自己很不满意。他们会想在周四的主场完成复仇。
#GoSpursGo
听着,当像我妻子这样对篮球完全不感冒的人看这个系列赛时都会说:“我看雷霆打球时,他们倒地也太频繁了。这让我想起了《野鸭变凤凰》里教练告诉孩子们‘假摔!装作受伤!表现得义愤填膺!’的场景。” 他们的打法绝对有问题。
更不用说我妻子还是土生土长的俄克拉荷马人,她以前还说过她为雷霆感到高兴,因为俄州是她的家乡,而俄克拉荷马城(OKC)是我们现在居住的地方……
他们的球风实在有些难看,甚至连极度业余的球迷都不喜欢。
明显的马刺球权,不知怎么就变成了争球。
• 裁判漏判了一个明显的干扰球
• 球明显是碰切特的脚出界的
• 教练的挑战请求被无视
• SGA(亚历山大)被白送罚球
• 米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 不知怎么被吹了个技犯
• 卢·多特 (Lu Dort) 和布拉德斯在场边相视而笑
卡鲁索在场上又化身巅峰克莱了,文班则是用打铁的砖盖了一整个小区,漏掉轻松的空接,看起来完全累瘫了。
不过要给尚帕尼和卡斯尔点大大的赞,他们是今晚唯二让马刺保持悬念的人。
谈到体育,我是一个非常看重竞争的人,你本应该击败对手,无论裁判的判罚如何,但是……我想这是我第一次对自己说,哇……这真的太糟糕了。托尼·布拉德斯,自从森林狼那轮系列赛开始——我真的……哇。他简直就像是想挑起冲突,让打手们上场一样。在今天的比赛中看到这些,真是令人作呕、不自然且匪夷所思。
如果你感到好奇,去看看雷霆的每一次篮板卡位——他们直奔文班的膝盖和球衣去。如果你每次都得保护自己的膝盖,你根本没法抢篮板。没错,就是有这么糟糕。大家都心知肚明,马刺依然是天赋更高的球队,甚至超过了雷霆。我简直不敢相信,每次我看SGA打球,都觉得他越来越平庸。只有我一个人这么觉得吗?感觉他就只靠那一招。卡鲁索打得更好。以赛亚·哈滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 影响力更大。贾里德·麦凯恩 (Jared McCain) 手感热得更快。总之,这是一场诡异的比赛。
比赛结束时,看到俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 和梅森·普拉姆利 (Mason Plumlee) 上场,我笑了。我们看到了雷霆的反应,他们赶紧把心爱的球员撤下场,包括哈滕施泰因。没错,让其中一个首发,立刻奠定比赛基调,是时候让米奇把这当成武器了。我不喜欢使用肉盾打手,但看起来雷霆就是想逼我们这么做。求仁得仁,小心引火烧身——我们可以承受内线球员犯规,要多少有多少;雷霆可承受不起。
我很高兴我们的替补阵容依然打得很拼,我不希望我们像克利夫兰布朗队那样,输球时就直接摆烂装死。
让我们在圣安东尼奥干翻他们。如果注定要被吹犯规,那就狠狠地犯规。摊手。
挺疯狂的是,SGA在这个系列赛里其实打得很差。他今晚的大部分得分都来自罚球线,而且其中很大一部分是在雷霆处于罚球奖金状态时的非投篮犯规。
就像我跟另一位论坛网友说的那样,马刺是上限更高的球队。不幸的是,雷霆被证明是更稳定的那支。我们的比赛起伏太大了。
在打出第四场那样的表现后,我们没有任何理由打得这么沉闷。诚然,雷霆把这场比赛当作必须拿下的生死战,而现在马刺必须在周四的主场第六战中展现出同样的决心。我感觉他们能拖入第七场,但我认为在这里再偷走一场胜利会非常困难。尤其是如果托尼·布拉德斯还要来吹罚比赛的话。
我们整场比赛都毫无活力。表现完全不连贯。作为一个身高7英尺6英寸的超级巨星,上半场仅有4次出手和1个篮板是不可接受的。哈滕施泰因打得比文班更好。达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的表现对于一个顶薪球员来说是不可接受的。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 整个系列赛甚至整个季后赛都像个隐形人。凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 已经沦为了他昔日自我的躯壳。甚至我们最喜欢的哈珀也打得像垃圾一样。只有卡斯尔、JC(尚帕尼)和CB(布莱恩特)展现出了斗志。
虽然我承认我们打得不够好,配不上赢球,但我依然无法释怀今晚的裁判到底有多么糟糕。
我真的不明白联盟为什么不因为假摔而罚SGA的款。这太明显了,球迷、解说员、推特、TikTok上全是关于这事的讨论。这毁了篮球这项运动。
这让NBA感觉像WWE。
没错,这都是事实,而且考虑到这是西决的第五场,这简直不可思议。不知道米奇让这帮家伙打的是什么进攻战术,看起来极其像是一个接一个地站桩单打,然后试图“打快”。这招偶尔管用。其余时间需要跑战术、设掩护、打挡拆。哪怕是最简单的配合。没必要非让文班去设所有掩护,而且我也承认他确实不擅长掩护。但难道这就是我们在文班接下来的职业生涯中要指望的进攻吗?站桩、单打、在三分线外把球扔给文班,没有人空切,没有人通过掩护跑出空位,没有球权转移,没有挡拆?
进攻打得毫无章法,缺乏联系,没有转移球,没有流畅性。防守也是慢半拍。从跳球到终场哨响,我们看起来都慢吞吞的、各自为战、心不在焉。卡梅隆·安东尼 (Carmelo Anthony) 说这是精神疲劳,我不知道该怎么形容,因为我在那个年纪时精力充沛得很,但今晚我们全队都没进入状态,我觉得教练今晚也没在状态。
文班甚至缺席了新闻发布会。他知道自己今晚打得很失常,甚至不想谈论这件事。谁知道怎么回事。通常他在输球后都会发言。也许他只是在生自己的气。
输掉一场拼尽全力的比赛我可以接受,但我不知道今晚打的是什么鬼。希望我们再也别看到这样的比赛了。如果福克斯和哈珀非要这么打,我宁愿让他们坐板凳,像第一场那样去打,哪怕有20次失误,起码还有赢球的机会。
裁判吹给他们的那些轻微接触犯规,基本上断送了我们在那种状态下逆转赢球所需的奇迹。让我们寄希望于成为少数几支在2-3落后情况下完成逆转的球队吧。此时此刻我像第三场结束时一样无语。但随后我们赢下了第四场。
希望米奇能让伙计们做好更充分的准备,在攻防两端执行好战术,而且我们要真正拼起来。
我只是觉得这帮家伙有能力赢球,所以我才给出我的分析,但归根结底他们还年轻,能走到这一步应该感到自豪,只是当你亲手把胜利送人而不是拼到最后输掉时,真的很难接受。
这场比赛让我对刚才看到的一切感到非常困惑,我唯一的选择就是试着停止去分析它,因为我觉得除了全队状态全无之外,根本无法解释。是他们酒店的火警响了,还是吃了坏肚子,或者是雷霆球迷在他们的佳得乐里下了泄药?他们是不是收钱打假球了?我的意思是,除了你提到的那几名球员,整支球队动作迟缓,运球和传球懒散,没有球权转移,没有投篮,没有努力。肯定是累了,而且没有主场 crowd 来激发他们的能量。这根本不是我看了整整一年的那支马刺队。
明天谁来写WWL?应该会很有意思。
输球的关键……失误、上半场强度不够、投丢了6个近在咫尺的空篮、文班没有打出超级巨星的表现。
展望第六场……如果有人在10月份说我们能在西决打到第六场,虽然2-3落后,我们肯定都会说……太棒了,绝对愿意!!
所以我很知足……对周四充满期待。文班在打完一场糟糕的比赛后总是能闪耀全场。
这是我本赛季对这支球队最失望的一次。
主要是态度问题。第四场他们打得像是在打生死战,而今晚他们打得就像是三月份的第63场常规赛。
球队最好做好心理准备,因为对于队里的大多数人来说,周四将是他们职业生涯第一次面临“赢球或回家”的生死战。
*布莱恩特、科内特和KJ到目前为止表现都很糟糕。我很想看看轮换会怎么调整,因为球队承受不起负贡献的登场时间。
欢迎指正,但在我看来,只要马刺输掉第二节,他们就会输掉比赛。我做了一些挖掘,以下是我的发现:
G5:雷霆 40 - 31 马刺(输)
G4:雷霆 19 - 22 马刺(赢)
G3:雷霆 32 - 20 马刺(输)
G2:雷霆 31 - 20 马刺(输)
G1:雷霆 17 - 24 马刺(赢)
如果我们想让这个系列赛打到第七场,除了限制失误之外,马刺还应该赢下第二节。
说起来容易做起来难,但以前也做到过。再说一次,马刺应该把每一场比赛都当作抢七大战来对待。
马刺加油(GSG)!

Game 6 at home on Thursday. The guys should be energized for that. You knew OKC was going to respond tonight no matter what. I hope Tony Brothers doesn’t officiate another game.
Mitch called a challenge and was ignored. Missed a clear goal-tend on OKC. Plays like can be a game changer. I hope our guys destroy OKC on Thursday like they did on Sunday.
This was Mitch’s worst coached game. The guys played their worst game of the playoffs. I know they’re not happy with themselves. They will want revenge on Thursday at home.
#GoSpursGo
Listen, when someone as uninvested as my wife watches this series and says, “when I watch the thunder, they just fall so much. It reminds me of the mighty ducks when he tells the kids to ‘take the fall! Act hurt! Get indignant!’” There’s something screwy with their game.
Compound the fact that my wife as a native Oklahoman has also said in the past to shes happy for the thunder because OK is where she is from and OKC is where we live…
There is just something ugly about their style of play, and even the extremely casual fan doesn’t even like it.
We played so lethargically early that it’s muted a lot of the anger we could rightfully feel towards the refs, because they were especially bad tonight. But a team coming out looking careless and exhausted for Game 5 is even less excusable than Tony Brothers still being allowed to officiate.
Wasted a bounce back shooting night from Champ
I’m really bummed out and disappointed in Wemby’s effort tonight.
This was not a “let the game come to you” type of night, this was a “follow my lead” defining moment.
If he won’t manage to muster the energy/focus/aggressiveness to play like an absolute superstar for 2 straight games, then even if his likely (judging by this trend) monster Game 6 produces a win, what will he have in store for us in Game 7?
Gotta leave it all on the floor.
Clear Spurs ball somehow turns into a jump ball
• Refs miss an obvious goaltend
• Ball clearly comes off Chet’s foot
• Coach’s challenge request gets ignored
• SGA gifted free throws
• Mitch Johnson somehow gets a tech
• Lu Dort and Tony Brothers laughing together on the sideline
Caruso out here turning into prime Klay again, Wemby building an entire subdivision with those bricks, missing easy lobs, and looking completely gassed.
Big props to Champagnie and Castle though, they were the only ones keeping the Spurs alive tonight.
I’m a serious competitor when it comes to sports, you shsould beat another team regardless of the outcome from the refs but… I think this is the first time I ever thought to myself, wow… That was pretty bad. Tony Brothers, ever since the Timberwolves series- I just… Wow. It’s almost like he wants a fight. For enforcers to enter the game. That was just tasteless, unnatural, and bizarre to see that in today’s game.
if you wonder, watch each rebound box out by the OKC- they went after Wemby’s knees and jerseys. You can’t rebound the ball if you have to protect your knees each time. Yeah, it’s that bad. Everyone knows it, the Spurs are still the most talented team, even over the Thunder. I can’t believe that the each time I watch SGA, the less impressive he gets. Is it just me? Like that’s all he relies on. Caruso played better. Hartenstein had more impact. McCain can get hot faster. Just this was a weird game.
At end of the game, I smiled when I saw Biyombo and Plumlee entering the game. We saw how the OKC reacted, pulling out their favorite players off the court including Hartenstein. Yep, Start one of them, establish that tone immediately, it’s time Mitch weaponize this. I ain’t fan of utilizing the enforcers, but seem like the Thunder wanted us to go there. Be careful with what they asked- we can afford to have our bigs foul many as we need them to; the Thunder can’t afford to do that.
I’m just glad that we still played hard with our 2nd strings, I didn’t want us to be chumps like the Cleveland Browns when losing a game and they just plays dead.
Let’s f them up in San Antonio. If we are going to be called for the foul, foul hard. Shrugs.
It’s pretty crazy that SGA has had a really bad series. The majority of his points came from the line tonight, and a good chunk of those were non shooting fouls while OKC was in the bonus.
Like I told another pounder, the spurs are the higher ceiling team. Unfortunately, the thunder have proven to be the more consistent. These games have been too up and down for us.
After a performance like game 4, there is no reason we should’ve been this flat. Granted OKC treated it as the must win as it was for them, and now the Spurs have to show that in game 6 at home. I think they push to 7, but I think it’s gonna be really hard to steal another game here. Especially if Tony Brothers is here to call the game.
We had no energy all game. Completely inconsistent play. 4 shots and 1 rebound in the first half is unacceptable from your 7’6” superstar. Hartenstein outplayed Wemby. Fox’s play is unacceptable for a max player. Kornet has been a ghost all series, if not playoffs. KJ is a shell of himself. Even our fave Harper played like garbage. Only Castle, JC, and CB showed any fight.
And while I acknowledge we didn’t play well enough to win the game, I still can’t get past just how TERRIBLE the refs were tonight.
I honestly don’t understand how the league doesn’t fine SGA for flopping. It’s so obvious that everyone - fans, announcers, twitter, TikTok all are covered in it. It ruins the product of basketball.
It makes the NBA feel like the WWE.
Yeah that’s all true and wild considering it’s game 5 of the wcf. Not sure what offensive gameplan Mitch these guys running but it seemed an awful like stand around and iso one by one and try to “play fast”. That only works sometimes. The rest of the time needs to be running actions, screens, pick and rolls. Even if they are simple. It doesn’t have to be wemby setting all the screens, and I acknowledge he isn’t good at setting screens. But is this the offense we have to look forward to the rest of wemby’s career? Stand around, iso, throw wemby the ball at the three point line, no one cutting or setting screens to get a shooter open, no ball movement, no pick and roll?
The offense played with no rhyme or reason, no connectivity, no ball movement, no flow. The defense was slow. From the jump to the finish we looked slow and disconnected and out of it. Carmelo Anthony said it was mental fatigue and I don’t know what you would call it because when I was that age I had lots of energy but our entire team didn’t show up tonight and I don’t think the coach showed up tonight either.
Wemby even skipped the press conference. He knows he was off tonight and doesn’t even want to talk about it. Who knows what’s up there. Usually he talks after a loss. Maybe he’s just upset with himself.
I’m fine losing a hard fought basketball game but I don’t know what that was. Let’s just hope we never see that again. If Fox and Harper are going to play like this I’d rather sit them and play like we did in game one and have 20 turnovers and have a chance to win the game.
All the touch fouls called for them was basically making it so the miracle required to pull off the win in that state of play wasn’t going to happen. Let’s hope for being one of the few teams who come back from 3-2. At a loss for words at this point like game 3. But then we won game 4.
Hope Mitch has the guys better prepared to execute a gameplan on both sides of the ball and that we actually hustle.
I just think these guys are capable of winning so I give my analysis but at the end of the day they are young and should be proud for getting this far but it’s hard when you hand the game over rather than lose it.
This game has me so confused over what I just saw my only choice is to try to stop analyzing it cause I don’t think there is any explaining it except the entire team was off. Did the fire alarm go off in their hotel, eat bad food, did a thunder fan pour laxatives in their gatorade? Were they paid to throw the game. I mean the while team besides the players you mentioned had slow movement, lazy dribbles and passes, no ball movement, no shot, no effort. Must be tired and didn’t have the home crowd to energize them. That’s not the spurs team I watched all year.
Who writes the WWL tomorrow? Should be interesting.
Keys to the loss..turnovers, poor intensity in 1st half, 6 missed bunnies, Wemby not playing like a superstar.
On to game 6..If someone had said in Oct. we would have game 6 in WCF, down 2-3 ,we would have all said..Heck yes!!
So this guy is happy..Excited about Thursday. Wemby always shines after a bad game.
This is this most disappointed Ive been in the team all season.
Mainly on effort. Game 4 they came and played like the season was on the line, tonight they played like it was game 63 in March.
The team better be mentally prepared, for the first time for a majority of the team they’ll be playing for the season on Thursday.
*Bryant, Kornet, and KJ have been bad so far. I’ll be interested to see how the rotations go because the team can’t take negative minutes
Well… JC and KJ had bounce back games… But no one else in a Spurs jersey came to play lol. Also, I looked up what OKC gave up for McCain, wow highway robbery lol. Philly gonna Philly but it sure is hurting us haha
What a disheartening loss.
Between Wemby being an absolute no factor in the biggest game of the season, a puzzling offensive game plan, horrid officiating, a plethora of young rookie mistakes and OKC playing without their 2nd and 4th best players, I think it’s almost (almost) safe to assume we’re not ready just yet…
Hopefully we’ll live to see the light of a Game 7, but that one really brought us down to Earth and national media will have a field day shitting on Wemby for the next 48 hours.
Very tuff loss. I don’t mind losing when we play Spurs ball, but we never really got there tonight! Not sure why our guards have such a hard time driving and dishing in OKC, but they will need to figure that out soon!! I still believe!! Need to get Wemby more shots at the rim GSG!!! And rebound!!
As I had predicted before the game, Spurs would not be getting the same foul calls like they did last game. However what I did not see coming was how half hearted the star players would play. Zero intensity by Spurs starters. Wemby once again disappeared in the most important game of the season similar to game 3–he showed some life on the bench only after being down by 20, too little too late against number 1 seed. Castle, DV and Fox were no shows. Champagne (and CB for a few minutes) finally showed up but it was wasted. KJ hurt us more than he helped us but he got his empty stats this game. Wemby should be dominating the paint and the boards, hate him standing at 3 pt line, he was a non factor this game on either side. Kornet is not playable this series. Mitch did not play HB enough this game, too much KJ. Harper hasn’t been same since his injury, some costly rookie mistakes. Terrible coaching by Mitch.
thirtynineyearfanversion2.0:
Castle was a no show? Didn’t he lead the team in scoring tonight with 24 points? On 7-11 from the field? With 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals? Sounds to me like he was one of the few players on our team who had a good game.
Feel free to correct me here, but it seems to me that whenever the Spurs lose the 2nd quarter, they lose the game. I did some digging and here is what I’ve found:
G5: OKC 40-SAS 31 L
G4: OKC 19-SAS 22 W
G3: OKC 32-SAS 20 L
G2: OKC 31-SAS 20 L
G1: OKC 17-SAS 24 W
If we want this series to reach G7, aside from limiting TOs, SAS should win the 2Q.
Easier said than done, but it has been done before. Again, SAS should treat every game as a Game 7.
GSG!
