The Oklahoma City Thunder were in a must-win situation Sunday night against the San Antonio Spurs. That meant that everyone was going to need to go above and beyond the call of duty. They'd have to play harder than ever and if they happened to get hurt as long as they could walk they needed to suck it up and play on.Yes, even if they got a gash on the head with blood flowing out like Derek Fisher did...

Needless to say he a super fan; maybe even a super hero. With...
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich managed to make a sly reference to the injury status of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka with a joke during his postgame press conference after Sunday night's Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Finals.When asked about whether Manu Ginobili would be OK after heading to the locker room late in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury, Popovich...

It’s that time of year again; the time of year when coaches get fired, fingers start pointing and NBA fans and media alike start assigning blame and second-guessing management. It’s time of year when teams that thought they were contenders find out they’re not, and someone has to pay for that revelation. The Oklahoma City Thunder are not yet out of the running for this year’s championship, yet as they...
The Oklahoma City Thunder have made it official that Serge Ibaka will be back in the starting lineup for Game 3 against the San Antonia Spurs.

With Serge Ibaka back on the court, this series has become a fun one. The first half of this game was unreal. It was a very exciting, fast and crazy first half. To end the half, Manu Ginobili and Russell Westbrook exchanged insane three pointers. First, Ginobili bobbles the ball and still hits a contested three, and then Westbrook comes down and hits a three from the parking lot. It was one of those...
As the Oklahoma City Thunder on well on their way to beating the San Antonio Spurs in game three of the Western Conference Finals, Caron Butler decided to dial long distance in the fourth quarter. After hitting a three-pointer, Butler decided to do a “phone call” celebration and Hasheem Thabeet decided to pick up the phone. Check out the SB Nation NBA remix of the clip which includes “Call Me Maybe”...
Gregg Popovich had an epic zinger during his press conference after the Spurs Game 3 103-96 loss to the Thunder Sunday night. When asked about Manu Ginobili’s health (he was seen leaving for the locker room in the 4th quarter), Pop dropped a Serge Ibaka “out of the playoffs” joke, saying “He’ll be fine….or, he’s out for the rest of the playoffs.” The post Gregg Popovich Owns Postgame Press Conference...
Gregg Popovich may come across as a super-serious, no-nonsense dude — and he is that most of the time — but he also has a pretty darn good sense of humor, too. Pop was asked after his San Antonio Spurs lost Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Sunday about the status of Manu Ginobili, […]...

The Spurs didn't believe Serge Ibaka was done. Looks like they were right. "I'm shocked. I'm so surprised," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich deadpanned. "I told you from the beginning I know Sammy and we knew he would be back, and that's good. "Nobody would wish that on anybody to miss the playoffs. We've had guys miss the playoffs before and it's obviously a downer. If he gets back in and I'm sure he will,...
