That's the dagger.

This OKC team can beat the Warriors

no shot

 

[OregonDucks]

forecast here in Portland is rain for the next few days. Strong winds from the North are traveling South carrying the storm front. It's believed to be the tears of Sonic fans.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

All along when idiots were saying the Spurs/Warriors were a lock for the WCF. I kept warning people do not sleep on OKC. They have 2 of the top 5 players in the world

This is true.
I thought Spurs/Warriors was pretty much a forgone conclusion.
It wasn't that I didn't respect OKC, but I never saw OKC wnning 2 road games and the Spurs none.

Spurs went from beautiful ball movement all yr to stand around Iso ball/stupid shots

 

[Krispy Treat]

Spurs got hella trolled by LaMarcus Aldridge. They are finding out this guy is not a championship caliber player and he is not a guy who can carry a franchise. He is not your next Tim Duncan, the dude is soft as hell.

He started off the year flat for them, but he ended up finding the right chemistry with their system after like 2 months. The jury is still out for me.

no shot

That's the stupidest thing I heard on here in a long time

This was the 1st year the Spurs made Leonard the primary weapon after developing him. And I expect they'll go after Pau in the offseason. They'll be fine.

That's what I said too.

Pau should be their target.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Spurs fans be like: "This is all in Pop's plan. Let them take the lead in the first half.."

Just a question, but if you thought they would beat SA, and can beat GS, then why are you saying they can't beat the Cavs?

 

[thunderc]

no shot

Match up VERY well with the Warriors. Just have to stay big and pound on them, can't try to play there game. OKC has more talent top to bottom. Going to be a great series.

Lebron makes Durant his bitch every time they play. It's disturbing

 

[Mecca]

no shot

This Team will push them.

As long as they don't revert back to being mentally fragile by blowing leads.

It will make for a interesting series.

Onee Team known for their ability to close any gap, at the blink of an eye.

The other has given up the ghost in the finAl period like 15 times this Season.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

This has nothing to do with age.

Keep in mind this is YEAR ONE of a complete makeover.
It is not YEAR TEN of a faded core. It is actually the start of a new young era.

Ginobili and Duncan were officially phased out this season for the two new faces.

They decided to play Isolation basketball featuring Kawahi and Aldridge.
They relied on defense and the 2-star option to win 67 games.

If they lose tonight they will just add some better roleplayers and still win 58-63 game the next 3 or 4 years.
Leonard and Aldridge alone will get you a perennial top 3 seed in the West.

They need more OFFENSE.
The offense from West, Simmons, Anderson, Diaw, Bonner, and Boban is just not reliable.

 

[Nightcrawler]

This looks bad. The Spurs came out totally flat in 3 games and its going to cost them dearly. Game 2, game 5, and game 6 they just haven't looked like the team that won 67 games all year. It's like all of a sudden there is a lid on the basket, despite the fact that they are getting wide open and make able shots.

 

[Mecca]

Was anyone else bold enough to pick OKC two weeks ago or was that just me?

Just you.

 

[bksballer89]

Just you.

You know they call me the smartest man on SportsHoopla for a reason right?

 

[bksballer89]

OKC ended the half on a 45-15 run

 

[CodeBreaker]

Let's just hope OKC chokes again in the 4th..

 

[purguy12]

That's the stupidest thing I heard on here in a long time

nope its the truth. come on man how can u say okc will or can beat GS. u are crazy.
