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

[wildturkey]

I never get the logic of having Westbrook/Durant on the bench at the same time unless one of them is in foul trouble. You never see Miami have Wade/James on the bench at the same in the playoffs when neither are in foul trouble unless the game is already decided

You're asking about the logic of a coach that for years has continued to play Kendrick Perkins heavy starter minutes despite every stat and advanced stat imaginable showing its a bad idea.

Ibaka is a beast, even at 60%.

Which is why OKC will never win with Brooks as a coach.

Durant's the only thing that keeps Westbrook in check. He's a great athlete but he's a black hole. Put him in without Durant and OKC's playing 1 on 5. I defended him for a while but he has to pull his head out of his ass and play team ball.

I honestly think that OKC would have been better off trading Westbrook and keeping Harden. Westbrook is clearly the better athlete but he has a basketball IQ of -30.

I've thought about this at times. You might be right.

Just making an out of my ass comparison. Difference between Durant and Jordan - Durant keeps letting Westbrook shoot these godawful shots, Jordan would've smacked the shit out of Westbrook.

 

[Heatles84]

Imagine what the score would look like if Westbrook wasn't a black hole.

Bogus foul on Timmy D

You got the 2nd best player in the league, who is by far the best scorer. Durant is clearly on his game shooting wise, yet Westbrook keeps chucking them up. I put this on Brooks as well as Durant.

Ginobli killing them

I hope he gets all of his hail mary shots out of his system in this series. Lord knows I want Manu from last year.

OKC doing good

Just every body else, you have never seen Harden play D.

 

[bksballer89]

For those who didn't think Ibaka would be a factor. Do us a favor and check out SAS fg% and points in the paint and get back to me

This is a 6 or 7 game series

Huge ft advantage for OKC tonight

Wait!! What?!? I thought these were the Spurs refs. Isn't that what those OKC fans were saying earlier?

 

[bksballer89]

30 fts to 7. I would be livid if I'm a Spurs fan.

This is the ECF G1 all over again
