Game Thread: Western Conference Finals: OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs

[Heatles84]

The Nba is a funny thing. Okc won all for regular season games vs San Antonio with a couple of those being blowouts. Thunder lose 1 player and can't stay with in 20 points of the Spurs. Crazy

Funny thing....I said this last week and one of the Thunder fans was splurging their load about how they swept the season series vs. the Spurs. Similar thing happened with the Nets and Heat; we all saw how that turned out.

Did the Spurs have their top players in those games?

Did the Spurs have all their top players in any game during the regular season?

I don't think Ibaka is going to make a ton of difference. And who know how healthy he is. Playing long series vs Memphis and LA has taken its toll. Memphis is the most physical team in the league and the Clippers have the best point guard in the Nba, mvp runner up, and 6th man of the year. The Thunder got nothing left in the tank.

Typical. Can't beat em, wish they retire.

While I don't like Cuban, his spiel is enjoyable. Barkley just comes off as a poor loser.

Cuban should worry about his own aging superstar facing retirement.


The Spurs at least have a young building block for the next era in Kawahi Leonard.


Dallas doesn't have a single player under the age of 29 that is worth anything to build upon.

Go Spurs Go!!!

 

[bksballer89]

ibaka will play

 

[bksballer89]

Reggie Jackson starting also

 

[Kold]

I don't think it makes a REAL difference, and I don't even know how effective he'll be....but seeing Ibaka back in the starting lineup got me very interested in this series for the first time

 

[bksballer89]

Serge looks good

 

[bksballer89]

Ibaka is just fine. Series on lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Can we fine Splitter for flopping?

 

[bksballer89]

2 jumpshots already.

 

[bksballer89]

So Ibaka with a block and 2 made jumpshots.

 

[bksballer89]

3-3 now

 

[Kold]

MAN I bet they knew Ibaka was coming back from the start. He doesn't look hurt AT ALL. Looks like were in for some good games now

4-4 with 2 blocks.....I'll say he is going to be very effective

 

[Heatles84]

I'm sorry, but the ref that called a foul on Durant for sending Splitter to the ground should be fired on the spot. How do you fall for that shit? Durant's a twig.

Ibaka's looking seriously good out there. Shame OKC doesn't play a lick of defense though.
