OFFICIAL Around the NBA thread - End of season/Playoffs!!

[PapaG]

Without Ibaka, OKC is bad on defense. Patty Mills is lighting it up. OKC will have to out-offense the Spurs to win this series, because I don't think they'll be able to stop the Spurs consistently on the defensive end of the court.

San Antonio looks as dominant versus OKC as the did Portland. Didn't think these older players had it in them.

Wonder if they will slow any in a years time.

With over 8 minutes to go in the 1st have Duncan is 8-10 with 18 points. Yes, they miss Ibaka.

San Anton is on a mission. They want to get back to the Finals.

67-59 at the half, and Derek Fisher is shooting out of his ass.

He REALLY doesn't want to go coach the Knicks until he absolutely has to.

OKC's d is just on another level compared to ours

They play defense. We didn't.

Russell's jumper looks so reliable. dafuq

They play defense. We didn't.

Seriously.

I'm amazed at how few open shots SA is getting.

 

[ripcityboy]

They are collapsing in the middle and cutting off those pass outs that SA does so well.

Love watching the Spurs ripping OKC apart. Pure poetry.

Amazing. The thing with them is they are so disciplined and they play the game a the way most teams and players are unwilling to play it. I think it's the coach. But they don't beat themselves. They are an amazing ball club.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I love watching the Spurs play team defense. Just watch a guy like Diaw or Belinelli - guys who are not good individual defenders. They know EXACTLY where they need to be at all times. The Spurs team defense is a thing of beauty.

The Thunder play great defense. They're so much better than us.

 

[BUNTA]

Good night OKC!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

The Thunder have completely shut down the Spurs. I am amazed.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

This game ain't any closer than the Blazer games were.

This has to be in reaction to some guarantee some idiot made.

 

[KingSpeed]

This game ain't any closer than the Blazer games were.

But the Thunder play great defense!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This game ain't any closer than the Blazer games were.

Nobody is stopping the spurs this year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

But the Thunder play great defense!

I'm sure DPOY Serge Ibaka being out is the real reason the Spurs are dicing them like a carrot.

I think they are a little better than Portland but in the end this a is lil less about the Thunder and a lot more about the Spurs.

Hope they can do it this year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Totally.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I think they are a little better than Portland but in the end this a lil less about the Thunder and a lot more about the Spurs.

Hope they can do it this year.

Holding the Spurs to 120... so far.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm sure DPOY Serge Ibaka being out is the real reason the Spurs are dicing them like a carrot.

Ibaka isn't DPOY. He has never won the award. Someday, he may be named in the same breath as great defenders like Marcus Camby and Tyson Chandler but that day hasn't come.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

OKC has led for 86 seconds this series.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Holding the Spurs to 120... so far.

I know, did we ever give up 120?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ibaka isn't DPOY. He has never won the award. Someday, he may be named in the same breath as great defenders like Marcus Camby and Tyson Chandler but that day hasn't come.

That was sarcasm, Eric.
