What if Joe just sits both JT and JB in the OKC game and stick it to  the NBA?

Like I said, if I'm SA I don't feel great.

Missing 3 players, 60% JT and it wasnt a blow out despite shooting GSW level from 3.

SA definitely enjoys a very favorable whistle.  Wemby should have at least 3 more fouls just on his post-basket shoves.

Should've been like 25 fouls on Castle...

Looking forward, how do we solve this Wemby puzzle?

Again.....missing 3 and 1/2 of our best players......needed a crazy game from 3
....and it was in reach most of the game.

SA is not beating us in a 7 gm series.

Holy hell, Harper!

if we meet in the finals, SA will be tough.  a lot of talent there.  that's without getting into whether they're getting their usual helpful whistle.  C's will need all hands on deck and Tatum will need to be at or at least near peak Tatum to have a chance.  Most importantly, Joe's going to have to figure out how to limit Wemby on offense. 

as for SA, they'll feel good about a double digit win tonight regardless of who's on the court for the C's.  Tatum being below par, no PP or Vuc and JB getting tossed not to mention ridiculous shooting by Wemby won't matter to them

[radiohead]

I love how Joe is putting a smaller guy on Wemby. It seems to be bothering him a lot.

[jpotter33]

Come on, White. Stop chucking bad shots that early in the shot clock.  Just killed any chance we had.

[Goldstar88]

Least Harper Jr had a good game.

The NBA needs to post these fixed games so I can do other things with my time... Wonder why viewership is down?

[Silas]

Tough loss to the refs and the Spurs

Can?t wait for JB?s podcast. I expect him to go all out against the refs, and expect Silver to fine him big time.

They're not getting to the Finals lol 80 percent of their starting lineup hasn't even seen the playoffs, and the one player that has has been in a single series. And their bench isn't much better. It's literally never happened, and it won't happen for this group either.

Agreed that they shouldn't come out of this feeling super confident, or at least neutral at best. Took a major anomaly game from 3 plus some generous help from the refs and health for them to win both games - including a historically poor whistle for Boston in the first game.
