Is anyone else seeing what the Spurs are doing to OKC and letting out a huge sigh of relief? It's not just us man. They're making the Thunder look like amateur hour. I actually think we did a lot better than the Thunder are doing. It will be interesting to see if they even win a game.

Honestly, another team's failure doesn't make me feel any better about our team.

I think our boys are well on their way to being a highly competitive team. We'll see how they respond next season.

You don't think it vindicates us? A lot of people were saying we didn't belong in the second round because of how badly we were beaten by San Antonio. The fact that they're actually beating OKC even worse, in my mind, says that San Antonio is just fucking really good and we were another bug in the road.

Jordan and Pipp win that matchup by quite a lot for sure. But Spurs would make them work and tired just as what happened to Durant and Westbrook in quarter 3 of game one. Bulls never had to play against teams with this much pace up and down the court. Spurs reserve would murder bulls reserves.

Durant and Westbrook aren't even close to MJ and Scottie, yet. Also, the Bulls top 7 were pretty good.

Don't forget, Jordan got past the Bad Boy Pistons and they would make him work infinitely more than these Spurs would. Unless you think the Spurs team defense is better than the Bad Boys piston (in which I'd find that VERY hard to believe, especially if you include how much more physical they were allowed to be.) And finally, the 95-96 Sonics pace was 93.8. The Spurs is 95. I think they'd handle it ok.

Scottie understood his role. Westbrook does not.

Would Scottie have ever told MJ to "wake up?"

I think Westbrook knows his role. Attack the basket, shoot a jumper, or hand it to Durant so he can do the same. Their offense has always been pretty simple.

I do expect the games to be close in OKC.

I'd agree Pistons defense was superior. But Spurs D is still good and their offense is lights outs compared to the Pistons.

As others have said the rules would be a factor too. Those Pistons teams were built on being able to do things you can't do in today's league. I think the changes are for the better of the game but it makes a comparison difficult.

Def not, but pippen would never have had to tell him.
MJ was always awake.

Spurs are just good. Ibaka is day to day. Guy isn't going to make up for getting blown out by 35points.
 
After watching spurs demolish okc the other night I dont feel as bad. Everyone from bench role players to their stars are playing out of their mind good. Its really impressive to watch the ball movement. I thought we were moving the ball like that to start the season but then we got away from it as guys got tired. The spurs are shooting incredibly from the 3 point line and its mostly due to being wide open from great movement. I think blazers have potential to move like that but everyone has to buy in and not get lazy.

We belonged in the second round because we beat Houston in the first round. That was quite an accomplishment!

Many people knew SAS were going to be a force to reckon with before the playoff series started. Hopefully our boys and management took some lessons from it.
 
I was so wrong about the Spurs this season. I thought we'd beat them. They are playing perfect basketball and I don't see anyone giving them any trouble. If they win the title, we could consider the Blazers a contender because we won a game against them. Not sure if anyone else can.

Then the Mavericks are a powerhouse with your analogy.

Heat can. They can be broke. No team has come close to doing that. But any team with LeBron James has a chance.

If Indy wins, Atlanta can consider themselves a contender too?

Charlotte beat us by 40, so they're contenders because we beat the Spurs 1 game

Spurs werent playing like this till game 7. They typed in the god mode code and moved their 3 point sliders to 100. Im pretty sure they just rested for the 1 game they lost against us.

Well, twist the night away! I guess I should specify 2nd round of the playoffs as opposed to the post allstar regular season...yeah, we're better than Charlotte too! Everybody knows the Spurs cranked it up in the series against us and the last two games against the Mavs. But I always respect Charlotte fans!

Well from your viewpoint, I guess they would, them and Charlotte. My point is we're one playoff win up on OKC against them but hey, you knew that all along right?
