Preseason Game Thread #6: Thunder @ Spurs

by Tim C. on Oct 18, 2010 1:00 PM CDT

Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs, Oct 18, 2010 7:30 PM CDT

Tonight, the Spurs square off against their newest nemesis. Last year, we got the better of the up-and-coming Thunder, winning 3 of our 4 games against them. The year prior to that, however, their length and athleticism was like kryptonite for the Spurs. Did we get lucky last year, or was two years ago the fluke?

According to the media narrative, we're old and in the way - but with time comes wisdom, and these whippersnappers don't know what they've got coming to them. Time will tell.

Also, watch this Tim Duncan tribute, since we're talking about how old this Spurs team is. (h/t to Drewlius of SpursTalk)

Key Matchups

Point Guard: In the game against Caja Laboral, Tony seemed to show everyone that he's "back". Tonight, though, he's facing one of the better up-and-coming point guards int he league. Westbrook was critical to team USA's success in this summers olympics, and seems to have a knack for disruption and solid D. Tony's got his work cut out for him. Vive Baguette!

Bench: Both teams have a lot of quality players on the bench, and it'll be interesting to see who the difference makers will be tonight for both squads. Also, the Thunder had 19 players on their roster as of their last game, so they might be the first team to use just as many players in a preseason game as the Spurs, who only have 16 remaining.

Key to the Game

Defense is going to be the key to this game. OKC is excellent at using their length to disrupt their opponent's offense, and this Spurs team is largely unproven on that end of the floor.

Winnner:

Watching/Listening to the Game

TV

This game is not being aired in San Antonio. My only hope is that it is being aired in OKC, which would enable someone to find video(see below for instructions on video feeds).

Online

As always, NBA league pass is recommended for those who are willing to pony up the cash. Almost every Spurs game will be broadcast there, which is especially helpful for those of us who aren't in the San Antonio area.

Please don't post links to illegal game feeds in the game thread. Links to illegal feeds are not permitted on SBNation, but you can probably find them out there on the internets if you're resourceful and desperate. You can also shoot an email to poundingtherockmail@yahoo.com (IMPORTANT: please include your PtR username in the email) for more assistance.

League Pass Audio is still free this year, so check it out.

Radio

If you're in the San Antonio area and aren't near a TV, tune in to WOAI (1200 AM).

A Look Ahead

On Thursday, the Rockets come to town in a rematch of the preseason opener that the Spurs lost in Houston. That'll be the final game of the preseason, as the Pacers will be in town on October 27th for the regular season opener.

It was even awesomer since he was actually a good 5 to 6 feet behind the 3pt line, and he let it go less than a tenth of a second before the buzzer. Plus three more reasons: a) he’d just made his first three so, b) everyone knew he’d take another and c) as he took it, you just knew it was going in.

And then, of course, the roof came off the place.

by bj1der on Oct 18, 2010 10:19 PM CDT reply actions

What do you mean the last preseason game? In Pop’s calender the season starts after the allstars. You know the big festival to start the NBA season. That’s why he hasn’t played Tiago yet. He’s got plenty of preseason games left, Don’t worry.

by SaSleepless on Oct 18, 2010 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions

Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit the ground running when the regular season starts. We have a nine-man-deep roster coming back from last season (most of them rotation players) and except for Tiago, the rest of the newcomers might only get spot minutes early on.

by TD21 on Oct 18, 2010 11:21 PM CDT up reply actions

If they get only spot minutes early on, do you think Pop would play them heavy mnutes come march? Let me answer that for you : NO!

That’s why I think Manu will start with our best starters. This way we can finish games faster and with limited minutes for our starters while the rooks and bench can just hold the fort for at least 15 minutes. If the big three don’t have to play any 4Q minutes, it would be bonus.

At least that’s what I hope for.

by SaSleepless on Oct 19, 2010 3:37 AM CDT up reply actions

I’m really interested to see whether Manu continues to start once the season starts.

The point with intangibles is that no one can see them.

by J.R. Wilco on Oct 19, 2010 9:13 AM CDT up reply actions

Not necessarily. Unlike last season when RJ and Dice came aboard and were expected to play significant roles and eat up a lot of rotation minutes, our new additions may not be expected to contribute significantly right away. When given minutes and not doing so well, they can watch and learn on the bench. Does that mean they will do so for the entire season? Most likely not, as Pop knows Tiago can definitely help the frontline and Anderson and Neal needs pt to further improve. What I was trying to say was, unlike last season when we had to sacrifice wins early in the season to get RJ and Dice up to snuff, this season, we don’t have to do that as most of our rotation players are returning. Like you I am hoping one of Pop’s reason in making Manu a starter is to jumpstart the offense from the get-go and create situations where the reserves get experience while our starters rest up.
