马刺 @ 雷霆 111 - 103 技术统计 | 视频集锦
By Mateo Mayorga | Pounding The Rock (PtR), 2026-05-31 02:58:01
圣安东尼奥马刺队在俄克拉荷马城赢下了一场史诗级的抢七大战,时隔12年重返总决赛。至此,马刺队史在抢七大战中的战绩改写为5胜7负。
马刺队员们似乎完全没有受到紧张情绪的影响,开局前五次投篮全中,且每位首发球员在开场六分钟内均有得分。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 虽然没有打出极其劲爆的得分数据(22分、7个篮板、2次助攻),但他依然在防守端一马当先。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 同样挺身而出(16分、6个篮板、6次助攻),表现得老练沉稳,甚至在陷入犯规麻烦时也依然保持着强硬的对抗强度。
在缺少了杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 和阿杰·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell) 的情况下,当谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 遭遇多人包夹时,雷霆队无法为他提供足够的支援。尽管亚历山大依然开启了疯狂的砍分模式,但马刺施加的防守压力让半场阵地战变得像泥潭摔跤一样艰难肉搏,这导致雷霆的其他球员心态失衡,甚至在三分线外错失了空位机会。
观察与思考
这标志着NBA历史上第二次 在抢七大战中同时出现常规赛MVP和最佳防守球员。两位超级巨星都展现了各自的本色,亚历山大疯狂砍分,而文班则破坏了对手的大量战术配合。这一次,亚历山大在个人表现上略占上风,因为他给对手防线带来的喘息机会更少,但由于雷霆输掉了比赛,历史对这一细节的关注度可能会大打折扣。
马刺拥有更多的持球点,在有一段时间里,他们的传切配合创造了更多的防守崩溃点,从而创造了空位三分机会。随后,退无可退的雷霆提升了防守强度,在此后的比赛中,马刺的每一次得分都变得异常艰难,他们在禁区内仅得到34分。需要注意的是,马刺本赛季(包括季后赛在内)的禁区得分单场最低纪录是32分。
亚历山大的体能储备堪称顶级。作为雷霆唯一靠谱的高使用率持球手,在面对马刺如此高强度的防守时,他并没有显露出通常会有的疲态。在登场的43分钟里,他几乎为球队倾其所有。
在首节文班下场休息的阶段,马刺起初领先10分,到重新换人时依然领先9分。在这期间,卡斯尔在维持进攻运转方面发挥了关键作用。那套轮换阵容最大的软肋是在攻防转换中被对手打成了两次。下一个关键的“无文班阶段”是第三节的一小段时间,马刺成功守住了9分的领先优势。而在最后一个文班不在场的阶段——即文班领到个人第5次犯规下场后——卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 对以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 完成了一次惊天追身大帽(堪称本场最佳防守)。
切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 在防守端被德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 以及其他外线球员轮番限制,整场比赛几乎毫无存在感。有人甚至会称这是季后赛历史上最令人尴尬的“隐身”表现之一。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在第三节迎来了他本赛季最闪光的时刻,在双方僵持不下、胜负悬而未决之际单节砍下11分。这给球队带来了极大的士气提振,同样起到鼓舞作用的还有凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在第四节初段连续命中的三分球以及一次快攻上篮。
马刺的防守凶悍且毫无松懈。他们在第一节就完成了6次抢断,其中2次来自德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox),他们不断切掉对手的突破球并拦截传球路线。此外,他们在控制犯规的同时也做好了防守。
雷霆在二次进攻得分上占有优势,但马刺在下半场缩小了这一差距。其中最关键的补篮莫过于迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在比赛还剩不到五分钟时将领先优势扩大到11分的那记补足,以及卡斯尔在比赛还剩不到一分钟时的那次致命补篮。

San Antonio at Oklahoma City, Final Score: Spurs punch their ticket to the Finals, 111-103
The San Antonio Spurs survived an epic Game 7 in Oklahoma City, and are going back to the Finals after 12 years. The team’s record is now 5-7 all-time in Game 7s.
The Spurs seemed to be unaffected by nerves, starting off making their first five shots and each starter scored within six minutes. Victor Wembanyama didn’t have the highest scoring night (22 points, seven rebounds, two assists), but he was leading the charge defensively. Stephon Castle also stepped up (16 points, six rebounds, six assists) as if he’d been there before and maintained his edge even while in foul trouble.
The Thunder being absent Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell didn’t have enough help around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander when he was seeing multiple bodies. He still went on a wild spree, but the Spurs’ pressure made the half-court as nasty as a mud wrestling match, and it had OKC’s players shaky, missing easy ones behind the arc.
Observations
This marked the second time in NBA history that a Game 7 featured the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Both stars were true to their nature with SGA doing a boatload of scoring, and Wemby blowing up a lot of sets. This time, the edge this time goes to SGA because he gave the opposing defense fewer breaks, but history will remember that detail less because OKC lost.
The Spurs had more ball handlers, and for a while, their motion created extra breakdowns to unlock the 3-point line. Then OKC, sensing desperation, raised its intensity and nothing came easy for the rest of the game as they scored just 34 in the lane. Keep in mind that their season low, which includes the playoffs, was 32 points.
SGA’s conditioning is next-level because he was OKC’s only capable high-usage ball handler, and he wasn’t as tired as one normally would be seeing a defense as sharp as San Antonio’s He was doing everything for them in his 43 minutes.
The first non-Wemby minutes started with the Spurs ahead by 10 points and they were up nine when the substitution came. Stephon Castle had a big part keeping the offense rolling in that span. The biggest weakness of that rotation was getting beat twice in transition. The next critical non-Wemby minutes were a short stretch in the third, and the Spurs maintained their nine-point lead. Then Luke Kornet had a huge chase down block (play of the game) on Isaiah Hartenstein in the last one after Wemby picked up his fifth foul.
Chet Holmgren was guarded by Devin Vassell plus other perimeter players, and he spent the game invisible. Some might call this one of the most embarrassing disappearing acts of all time.
Julian Champagnie had his best moment of the season in the third quarter, scoring 11 points while the game was for the taking. It was also a big emotional boost for the team, and so were Keldon Johnson’s consecutive treys and fastbreak layup early in the fourth.
The Spurs defense was fierce and unrelenting. They had six steals in the first quarter, with two belonging to De’Aaron Fox, as they swiped at drives and intercepted passes. Additionally, they did a decent of guarding without fouling.
The Thunder had the edge in second-chance scoring, but the Spurs closed the distance in the second half, and there was no bigger tip-ins than Dylan Harper’s to put the team up 11 with fewer than five minutes to go, and Castle’s with under a minute left.

我到现在还激动得坐不下来!这是一场不可思议的胜利。每个人都在拼,每个人都做出了贡献。米奇和斯威尼,请接受大家的掌声。
我们之前一直希望凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 能在投篮上站出来,他们做到了。永远不嫌晚,他们来得正是时候,哈哈!
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和文班的出手比平时少,但他们在防守端拼尽全力,其他人在进攻端挺身而出。
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 真是超级新秀,无所畏惧,投进了关键球。达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 展现了老将风范,最后时刻那个提前犯规非常关键。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的盖帽太棒了。
这支年轻的球队把西决冠军奖杯收入囊中。文班终于拿到了他的MVP奖杯。
年轻且缺乏经验?确实!但他们在乎吗?一点也不!卡斯尔在第六场赛后说得最好,他们知道作为一个整体,他们是更好的那支球队。马刺加油 (Go Spurs Go)!我们太开心了!
神图胜过千言万语
今晚尽情骄傲吧,马刺大家庭。享受这场胜利——抢七的胜利是拼出来的。
但记住……相信体系。
波波还在——你们看到他走进更衣室时的样子了。大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 在那里。蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 在那里。马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 在那里。那种文化从未离去。这超越了一场比赛或一个赛季——这就是马刺的体系。
看着卢克·科内特的盖帽,让我想起了蒂亚戈·斯普利特 (Tiago Splitter) 的那个盖帽——努力、时机、牺牲,做好那些赢得总冠军的细节。这正是这个组织一直以来的立身之本。
我们与众不同。不张扬,不喧哗——只有纪律和坚韧不拔。
所以今晚尽情庆祝,但别得意忘形,也别像傻子一样招摇。马刺篮球的真谛在于保持谦逊、保持饥渴、尊重付出的汗水。
享受这场胜利……现在,让我们去让斯蒂芬·A·史密斯 (Stephen A. Smith) 和他的尼克斯闭嘴——重温99年的荣光。
马刺加油。
在2014年(我知道),我经常用另一个名字活跃在这里。和父亲一起看那次夺冠历程是我一生中最美好的回忆之一。后来我生活中发生了很多变故,我就不再评论了。但我从未停止关注马刺,也从未停止阅读你们写的那些优美、引人深思的文章。我记得在那些艰难的岁月里,我一边吃着一大盘沙拉,一边看着丹特·坎宁安 (Dante Cunningham) 防守勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James),对着电脑屏幕大喊大叫。留在脑海里的记忆总是很有趣。
Anyway. 我只是想上来露个面说一句,无论总决赛发生什么,这都太不可思议了。这支球队太棒了。而且,我的天呐,那只柯基居然预测对了!这多少让我对这个世界又恢复了一点信心。
语言无法形容我的心情,这是一场彻头彻尾的团队胜利,每个人都做出了贡献,但我特别想提一个人——凯尔登·约翰逊。他的表现太棒了,我认为他是最配得上这一切的人,在我们最艰难、最糟糕的时期他就在这里,而现在我们进总决赛了!!!
除了连续的主场比赛,其他比赛之间都有3天的休息时间,而不是隔天打,这对休整很有好处。
我们不能再让OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby) 击败我们了,没必要一直包夹杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson),还有篮板,我们最好卡好位,防住乔什·哈特 (Josh Hart) 和那个该死的米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson)!!!
已赢下12场,还差4场!!!冲啊!!!!
几点看法:
我知道之前有一种舆论认为“这套核心阵容以后还有的是机会,这次输给雷霆也没关系”等等。但我认为,抓住我们更好的伤病运气是很重要的,因为这种好运并不是每年都会有的。
别人想怎么议论我们的乐透签运气都行,很多确实也是事实,没必要否认。但在文班乐透抽签前三个月,我们从“垃圾堆”里捡来的尚帕尼所做出的贡献,提醒着人们,马刺甚至在辉煌时期就一直擅长淘宝有用的自由球员。
(临时的)媒体支持者们:很高兴过去几周有你们相伴。很遗憾看到你们要离开了,但期待着随着总决赛的进行,看到你们失望的表情。
在客场的抢七大战中顶住卫冕冠军的猛烈反扑,说实话,在他们争冠窗口的早期阶段,我不太确定他们是否有这样的韧性。回到总决赛的感觉真好!不得不说,在经历了通往总决赛的这么多美好时光后,12年似乎也显得没那么漫长了。
Just_Another_Spurs_Fanatic:
在那些艰难的岁月里,我一直关注并坚守着,但我大概自拉马库斯·阿尔德里奇 (LaMarcus Aldridge) 时代以来就没登录过这个网站了。多么不可思议的一个赛季!多么不可思议的一轮系列赛。
我的意思是,赛季初取得10连胜,整个赛季从未遭遇连败,而且当维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 缺阵时,球队在没有他的情况下打出了12胜6负,展现了阵容深度……所有的迹象都在那里。我相信他们能做到,但直到今晚比赛还剩40秒左右时,我才敢奢望梦想成真。
太激动了!再次向大家问好。感谢你们一直保留着火种。总决赛一定会非常精彩!
这真的是一场团队的胜利。每个人都做出了贡献,这是我们带走胜利的唯一方式!带着这样一场胜利前进太棒了。而且在我们将他们淘汰时,亚历山大打得很好,这很棒。这突显了我们球队的伟大,以及文班为证明谁才是真正的MVP所做的一切。多么棒的球队,多么美妙的夜晚,多么精彩的赛季!作为马刺球迷,这真是一个最好的时代!
留给你们这个……我们拿到选下文班的状元签的那天晚上。谁能想到仅仅3年后我们就会站在这里?!
https://youtu.be/OjGdeIMrkKA?si=xzAXFBENIz1sWX5x
已赢下12场,还差4场!
荣耀归于您
虽然我不是什么虔诚的基督徒
但还是要感谢您
马刺拿到了门票
走出了荆棘丛林
去那里夺取胜利
开拓者、森林狼、木偶们
天呐,这真是一场严酷的考验
天呐,这是怎样的一个分区
12场胜利已收入囊中
这是一场与恶棍们的拉锯战
还差四场,马刺加油!
“他们根本不在乎‘经验’这个词!”
米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)
我错了,我错了。我错得太光荣了!马刺加油!
切特被按在板凳上了
我看了比赛……太棒了。为小伙子们展现出的斗志感到无比自豪。
如果卡斯尔和文班没有陷入犯规麻烦,最终的分差可能会大得多。
马刺打得像一个团队……而雷霆没有——一旦发生这种情况,比赛就结束了。
以尼克斯目前的打法,他们会是一个难啃的骨头——但在漫长的系列赛中,主场优势应该能帮到马刺。
看到斯蒂芬·史密斯在谈论雷霆应该去追求字母哥;在切特于抢七大战中上演了类似克里斯·波什 (Chris Bosh) 在2013年总决赛抢七(他拿了0分)的隐形表现后,这表明雷霆不能指望他。这感觉就像……一个冷酷的刺客,对文班来说这带有个人恩怨——我很难分清哪一个对他来说更重要:是马刺晋级总决赛,还是击败切特。这两者对他来说可能同样重要,尽管如此,这依然是一场令人极其赞叹的比赛。
我们在裁判吹罚如此离谱的情况下走到了这一步,这只能证明马刺这支球队有多么出色。我们才……刚刚开始。
为这支马刺队感到无比自豪——我们已经在这里建立了一个王朝。米奇,干得太漂亮了!
新的时代……同样的文化。马刺加油!!!!!!
让我们完成未竟的事业!

I’m still ahhh can’t sit down! This was an amazing win. Everybody worked. Everybody contributed. Mitch and Sweeney take a bow.
We asked for Keldon and Champs to step up with their shooting and they delivered. It was never too late. They were right on time LOL
Devin, Castle, and Wemby shot less than they normally do but they worked hard with their defense and others stepped up on offense.
Harper super rookie, fearless, timely shots. Fox great vet move with a very important take foul at the end. Luke’s block was awesome.
WCF Trophy in the bag for this young team. Wemby finally got his MVP trophy.
Young and inexperience? Heck yeah! Did they care? Heck no! Steph said it best after Game 6 that they know they are collectively the better team. Go Spurs Go! We are so happy!
Meme for the win
From a Rockets fan (don’t hate : ), congrats, and pulling for the local SA five (via Austin) GSG ! like '99, crush the nyk’s
Be proud tonight, Spurs family. Enjoy this one — Game 7 wins are earned.
But remember… trust the system.
Pop is still around — you saw it when he walked into that locker room. David Robinson is there. Tim Duncan is there. Manu is there. That culture never left. This is bigger than one game or one season — THIS is the Spurs system.
Watching Luke Kornet’s block reminded me of that Tiago Splitter block — effort, timing, sacrifice, doing the little things that win championships. That’s what this organization has always been about.
We are built different. Not flashy, not loud — just disciplined and relentless.
So celebrate tonight, but don’t get too confident or act like idiots. Spurs basketball is about staying humble, staying hungry, and respecting the work.
Enjoy this win… and now let’s go shut Stephen A smith up and his knicks–back to 99
Go Spurs Go.
The Kornet block, the Harper putback, Castle’s D, Champagne’s treys and D, Fox’s steadiness, D, shooting, and smarts on the foul to give, in fact all the non-Wemby big moments reflect what a team victory this was. And the passing was often fast and crisp and correct - we all remember what that was like!
I used to be here a fair bit back in 2014 (I know), under a different name. Watching that championship run with my dad is one of my favourite memories of anything, ever. Then a lot of things fell apart in my life and I stopped commenting. I never stopped following the Spurs, though, or reading the beautiful, thought-provoking things you all write. I remember eating a gargantuan salad while watching Dante Cunningham guard Lebron James during the lean years, yelling at my computer screen. It’s funny what sticks in your mind.
Anyway. I just wanted to pop in to say that whatever happens in the Finals, this is amazing. This team is amazing. AND HOLY GUACAMOLE THE CORGI WAS RIGHT. Kind of restores my faith in the universe a little.
Words can’t describe my feelings, this was total team victory, everybody contributed, but I want to point out one guy Keldon Johnson, what a way to deliver I think he is the most deserving, he was here when were really really bad and now we are in the finals!!!
Except consecutive home games, others are not every each day but 3 days, good for the rest.
We can’t let Anunoby beat us again, no need to double all time Brunson, and the boards, Hart and that mf Robinson we better box out!!!
12 down, 4 to go!!! Let’s go!!!
I’m drunk and I’ma do it.
I been tellin y’all all season. Belive in Keldon. Believe in W3mby. Believe in the youth and the vets. Fuck a playoff experience, we play off Experience in the regular season. WE GOT THEM DAWGS. TF YA’LL THOUGHT. WE UP. GO SPURS GO. THAT’S WHAT THE F*CK I’M TALKING ABOUT. THAT’S WHAT WE DO. THAT’S WHO WE ARE.
A few things:
I know there was a feeling out there that “there will be other seasons with this core, it’s OK if we don’t get by the Thunder this time,” etc. But I think it was important to take advantage of our better injury luck, which isn’t necessarily going to be the case every year.
People can talk about our lottery luck all they want and a lot of that is accurate; no point denying it. But the contributions of Champagnie, picked up off the scrap heap three months before the Wemby lottery, is a reminder of the kind of fishing for useful free talent that the Spurs always did well even in their glory days.
(Temporary) media supporters: nice to have you along these last couple of weeks. And sorry to see you go, but looking forward to your disappointment as the finals progress.
Weathering the storm on the road in a Game 7 against the defending champs is something I honestly wasn’t sure they had in them at this early stage of their contention window. Good to be back in the finals! I have to say 12 years doesn’t seem so long when there were so many good times leading into them.
Point 2!
DV has been HUGE!
KJ finally came in in the clutch!
Luke the unsung signing hero of the off-season!
Fox the saavy pickup while giving away nothing!
HB another saavy signing to take on his vet leadership.
Yeah I mean the lottery luck is huge, but how many times have we seen other teams with similar luck just flounder for years still. SA and the FO are special. They know what to do to maximize their talent. Let’s go!
Just_Another_Spurs_Fanatic:
I’ve been reading along and hanging in there through the lean years, but I don’t think I’ve even signed into the side since probably the Aldridge years. What an incredible season! What an incredible series.
I mean, started off with 10 wins in a row, never lost consecutive games all season, and when Victor was out, the team showed how deep they were by going 12-6 without him… all the signs were there. I believed they could, but didn’t dare hope they actually would until there were about 40 seconds left in the game tonight.
So stoked! And hello to you all again. Thanks for keeping the flame. Finals are gonna be a blast!
Game 7, on the road. Against the champs, with the 2 time MVP. Simply unreal.
Remember how they kept saying that we needed to trade for Giannis\KD\etc if we were going to contend? And people still pay attention to what these guys write?? Turns out the only “big move” we needed to make was to sign Kornet, who’s really made a difference.
This was truly a team win. Everyone chipped in and it’s the only way we walked away with the win! What a game to move forward on. And it’s good that Shai had a good game when we closed them out. It highlights our team’s greatness and all thay Wemby did to prove who the real MVP was. What a team, what a night, what a season! What a time to be a Spurs fan!
I leave you with this… The night we got the #1 pick for Wemby. Who would’ve thought just a mere 3 years later we’d be here?!
https://youtu.be/OjGdeIMrkKA?si=xzAXFBENIz1sWX5x
12 down, 4 to go!
gentlemen–more so for the older spurs fan-- and to the new ones as well-- trust the system–pop, robinson, duncan, ginobilli are still there-- this young team is going to be amazing-- wemby is great, but castle and harper–man-- future is set-- lets enjoy this today but job is not finished–lets bring back that 99 memories..
Spurs fan since 1980 here with the Iceman days. We’re witnessing the potential birth of a champion here before our eyes, similar to Timmy, David, Sean and the rest of the team. Very exciting times indeed
Glory be to Thee
I ain’t much of a Christian
But thanks be to Thee
Spurs punched their ticket
Made it out of the thicket
Went there and take it
Blazers, Wolves, Muppets
Boy, it was such a gauntlet
Boy, what a bracket
Win 12 in the bag
A tug-of-war against thugs
Four more, Go Spurs Go!
Haven’t really let myself consider the finals seriously until now. Would love to win #6 and take down the Knicks. A rematch from 1999 is almost poetic. They are the one team that truly gave us fits this year, but we have been given the toughest possible path to the finals and will come leveled-up and ready.Never in my wildest preseason dreams did I expect us in the finals - WCSF was my highest hope and WCF was a pipedream. We are playing with house money now. Let’s go all in and win!
Luke Kornet’s block really was the highlight of the game. Solid performance all around and a well deserved trip to the finals.
Everyone contributed today and the Spurs showed confidence and high energy. Onto the finals!
To think there just may be a parade in a couple of weeks is crazy to think about. This is feeling like 99 all over again only with a much younger team. Once Dylan hit that 3 to make it 107-95 us in the 4th, I said that just might do it. 99 was a heck of a year and this is beginning to feel a lot like that title run back then. My mom and I are sitting here at 10:33pm in total disbelief at what this season has brought to us and our team. Now, I hope the Lions follow that up with a Super Bowl win come February 2027.
I just finished watching the game. What a rush. Spurs were the better team. Almost everybody played very well. Fox played much better, all his baskets were timely. Keldon looked like he was going to have a bad game until the 4th and I am so happy that coach trusted him in the 4th, he made 2 huge shots and ran the floor on that perfectly executed fast break.
Luke’s block, and Wemby’s insane close out, Harper’s put back in the 4th were amazing to watch.
This team is not only very athletic and smart but plays with incredible heart. Such a joy to watch.
I am from Istanbul/Turkey and I live in NY so I have nobody in person to share the joy other than this place. I am happy this platform is here.
In 2003 the NJ Nets came into the Finals on a 10 game win streak… In 2026 the NY Knicks are coming into the Finals on an 11 game win streak…
And just like 2003, I’m taking the Spurs in 6.
Somebody get that Corgi awesome treats!
What a great season for the Spurs. Stuck to their guns and came out the winners in a tough series.
OKC could not find any rhythm outside of SGA and the defense as the last game was amazing.
Shout out to Keldon for the timely buckets which sucked air out of the building! Momentum there!
OKC were injured but their style of play needs to change for them to be back in contention.
Bring on the Knickerbockers!
To my great despair, could not watch the full game, but a few plays in 2nd and 3rd, and last minutes of the fourth. When WemVP picked up his 5th foul my heart skipped a beat ! Bit they did it ! Great team effort.
Thunder is a great team with a class act coach. These 2 teams will go at each other for a few years probably.
On to the Finals ! Feels good to write this !
PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999…I don’t want to jinx the Spurs by declaring a Spurs ring, I’ve learned NOT to TEMPT the basketball gods, but I’m feeling really confident about the Spurs chances…don’t think it will be a problem, but I do worry about us being OVERCONFIDENT after defeating the defending champs in their lair…if this Spurs team shows up for Finals, I like our chances…the Knicks have been sitting on their asses for days now, haven’t been TRULY TESTED…they haven’t had to play with their backs against the wall…2-1-0, San Anto, GO SPURS GO!!!
So proud of my spurs. Really disappointed on Danny green not picking up Spurs to win game 7. I can understand though OKC was a champion, home court advantage and all the experience. Hey, we arrived. I am so proud of Harper kid….he is in a star making. So many unsung heroes tonight.
Hey Pounders:
I just got back to the house after working all day…AND SAW THE NEWS…
tHEY FRIKKIN’ DID IT…WE ARE GOING TO THE FINALS WITH HOME COURT ADVANTAGE…AMEN!!!
tell me. how was the reffing…who was the hero besides Wemby of course…was it anxiety filled game (my heart has a hard time with those)…yours, santafefan…
The young guys showed out. BIG TIME! Wemby, Harper, Castle, Bryant, all showed more maturity than one could reasonably expect, especially the rookies.
Big plays, no shirking from the moment by anyone, no melt downs. just tough play. They can still be a fair bit better, but this was a BIG step forward to beat the champs.
Fox hitting key buckets, Luke’s block, KJ in the 4th, Champs hitting some, Wemby hitting deep too, offensive rebounds, tough defense by the whole team.
I thought Harper’s play was just outstanding for a rookie.Just a great team win.
We did it!!!
4 more to go baby!!!
Chet got benched
For perhaps the first time in a big win, I have few words. I think our team did all the talking, our coaching staff put us in the position to win, and everyone on the squad and in the franchise deserves their flowers. Let’s get this ring. GSG!!
Now, I am going to enjoy the next few days, but… this post season, I think:
Jalen Brunson > SGA
KAT > Chet
Robinson > Hartenstein
OG Anunoby > Dort + CarusoBridges > McCain + Wallace
It’s going to be epic!
It’s going to be a very tough series. The Knicks has been a difficult matchup the last couple years. We lost twice against them this year already, including the NBA Cup final. Btw, it’s good publicity for the Cup, now that it predicted the same matchup as in the actual finals – hope the result will be very different.
I watched the game…it was soooooo good. So proud of the fight that the lads showed.
If Castle and Wemby weren’t in foul trouble, the final score could have been much greater in differential.
The Spurs played as a team…OKC did not - game over when that happens.
The Knicks are going to be a hard nut to crack the way they are playing - but home court advantage should help the Spurs in a long series.
Saw Stephen Smith talking about Thunder should go after Giannis; after Chet’s best Chris Bosh impression in game 7 (he had 0 points) back in 2013 shows that the Thunder can’t rely on him. This just felt… Like an assassin, it was personal for Wemby- it’s hard for me to see which is bigger for him; Spurs advancing to the finals or beating Chet. Both just might be equally as important for him, nonetheless, damn impressive game.
We got this far- with ridiculous refs, this only prove how damn good the team Spurs has been. We are just… GETTING STARTED.
So damn proud of this Spurs squad- we have built a dynasty here already. Mitch, helluva job!
