I injured Serge Ibaka

[Amuseddaysleeper]

By starting the game thread on an OKC board.

Happy now?

[spursparker9]

Unless it is Durant or Westchuck, it doesn't matter.

OKC still can win.

[slick'81]

Adams vs splitter ftw

[TheRemix]

What happened to ibaka?

[myhc]

Yea what happened to Ibaka?

[Budkin]

No Ibaka or Harden? Hell yeah.

[Drew2354]

Calf contusion

[Malik Hairston]

Unless it is Durant or Westchuck, it doesn't matter.

OKC still can win.

Not against Spurs, tbh..Ibaka is probably the 2nd most valuable player against the Spurs, more than Westbrook IMO..

[TheGoldStandard]

Ibaka will be fitted with a bionic brace that will allow him to jump an extra 2 feet in the air.. NBA will allow it.

[Budkin]

There's some rumblings on twitter that it may be pretty serious. How excellent would it be not to have to deal with him?

[Mugen]

Hopefully, it's career ending :lol

[dg7md]

[kenjoski]

Fuck that beat thunder fully healthy! GSG

[TheGoldStandard]

Karma for all the cock punching, tbh

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Hope he plays. I want no excuses for these fucks to cop out with when we handle them in 5.

Ibaka out opens the paint for TP.

[sexinthatsx]

I want to beat OKC at full strength so they can't have any excuses. That said, it's probably best that Ibaka is out because that guy is one dirty POS

[TheGoldStandard]

He'll be back to his regular cock punching self by Monday

[Mugen]

:lol Fuck the full strength BS, I hope he's done for the playoffs tbh, it's all about winning the series....

[InRareForm]

Twitter making it seem like it not a bad injury tbh...

[Malik Hairston]

:lol why the fuck would anybody rather play against a healthy team instead of a team with a key injury, tbh?..

Nobody remembers opposing injuries when they recall previous champions..

[Budkin]

Gotta agree. We need every advantage we can get with the ref situation.

[Sean Cagney]

Don't forget they still have the extra man in the REFS to deal with!

[MI21]

Gotta agree. We need every advantage we can get with the ref situation.

I agree also. Like the Meth fans won't be hoping Parker's injury hampers him.

[Spur|n|Austin]

He'll play game1.

Not til they get back to methlaham, then it's instant aids to the infection.

[UZER]

I didn't see Ibaka yell while limping off the court....aahhhhhhhhhh!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Thunder and Frightening will be the headline tomorrow in regards to Ibaka :lol

[Arc]

finally used your powers for good, i see.

[Prose]

Twitter making it seem like it not a bad injury tbh...


Didnt see see it myself, but yea I agree a calf contusion does not sound that much worse than hamstring tightness...it's the plays offs he will go

[Mugen]

It's probably a strained calf which is good news for the Spurs tbh. He'll have an MRI tomorrow or Saturday probably.

[timtonymanu]

Exactly. 5 years from now, no one will say "Oh but Ibaka was injured"...it'll just be "Duncan has 5 rings".

People here are full of shit. If they had a choice of Durant getting a torn ACL right now or not, they'd choose the torn ACL. Some just play it off like they "want to beat a full strength OKC".

[hater]

:lol Fuck the full strength BS, I hope he's done for the playoffs tbh, it's all about winning the series....

damn right I hope Ibaka gets full blown cancer on that injury like Bob Marley did

[testies]

I hope hes out for the series.. Tony Parker can attack the paint much easier if its fucking Collison and Porkins there

[z0sa]

Tbh..

[rascal]

The Spurs are so great their fans feel they need injuries to win.

[doobs]

I don't root for injuries because I'm superstitious enough to worry that the karma gods will punish that by injuring a Spur

[aal04]

If i got to take out on okc player from these playoffs, id pick Ibaka before KD or WB.

Take out KD, they still got outside and inside.

Take out WB, and it takes out the randomness.

Take out Ibaka, and Splitter/TD and PnR is open all night long.

[Raven]

sloppy job tbh, i'm not satisfied.

[Captivus]

:lol plus is that showboater pussyface Abaka... hopefully his calf is infected with aids by now...

Again Nono?...a few weeks ago you wanted Tiago to have aids in his fingers when he hit Dirk's eyes...and now this.
WHY?

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Karma.

I never wish injury on a player, but Ibaka has been a cheap shotting punk this playoffs and season and deserves this.

Looking at the replay it looks like he ruptured the calf muscle. He more than likely is done for the next series. You know an injury is bad when you are noticeably limping off the court when your body is full of adrenaline.

[Uriel]

Wow, the racism in this thread.

[CGD]

Somebody tel serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life. Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That's a promise. He doin 2 much

Being at ease with an injury (like Ibaka, but I doubt he misses much time) versus celebrating is way different in my eyes, certainly I wouldn't like the moral character of someone who would choose for another to get injured, I question their priorities in life if it comes down to that.

So according to twitter he got off the plane in a walking boot.

Not sure if crutches were involved as well but they're saying it doesn't look good at all.

I've read on some thunder forums (though I'm banned now) that Adams can man the paint in ibaka's absence.

I think he rupture the calf muscle. What makes me think that is the case is that Paul kneed him in the calf as soon as Ibaka put all his weight on his leg. This is how most sport injury occur, getting hit in a particular spot (knee, elbow, arm, chest, leg, etc) when its the most tensed. In most cases a torn ligament or rupture muscle occurs.

With a rupture muscle, you can still walk, but the boot is to stabilize the leg obviously. He if just strained the calf, he wouldn't need a boot.

Its always fishing when they don't TELL what the exact injury is. For Parker, it came out right away it was a Grade 1 strain. Ibaka, oh just a calf injury (unspecific), and he might play Monday. Oh, but he is in a walking boot in the meantime.

[rascal]

You assholes in here wanting injuries deserve to celebrate no more titles.

Fair and thunder do not belong in the same sentence. It's just so frustrating to see KL pick up two ticky tack fouls four minutes into the first quarter because he wasn't giving KD enough space. Then boom your best defender is on the bench until halftime.

I don't think anyone wants anyone to get injured. But Ibaka has been a cheap asshole (since that is the adjective being used) this year. I think its Karma for that punk. He throws his arms and elbows around purposely looking to hit players to hurt them then he acts like he wasn't intentionally doing anything.

[rascal]

I don't believe the NBA is in some type of conspiracy with the refs to advance OK City.

Go ahead and set yourselves up for excuses with the refs when the Spurs lose. OK City has proven recently they are better in head to head matchups.

Very few people on this board believe in conspiracy theories. 90% realize that OKC is a fraudulent team that too often gets propped up by the refs. The "conspiracy theory" portion comes with speculation as to why that happens.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

OKC/Clippers game 6 was interesting because in the first half, I thought OKC got absolutely jobbed by the refs. There was a massive free throw disparity in favor of the Clippers, sure, but in some respect that actually doesn't matter at all. I just simply watched the game and counted the number of ticky tack fouls for or against both teams and that's the conclusion I came to.

Then, in the second half (mostly latter half of the 3rd quarter and into the 4th), there was a total reversal and the refs started favoring (slightly) OKC.

[UZER]

Ibaka punches players in the nuts. It was an accident.

Ibaka hurts his calf. Poor Ibaka.

[rascal]

I don't believe this is an intelligent or informed opinion.

I believe it is both. You think Pop will just let this happen without saying anything about the refs and the NBA conspiray. This is some made up shit amonst Spur fans who can't accept that a more athletic younger team is better than the Spurs and beat them down at every chance.

20 to 4 fouls called is hardly favoring a team slightly. Refs gave OKC that game, AGAIN.

Ok fine I'll accept that. The main point of my post is that I'm not always on some irrational mission to only denigrate OKC for receiving ref help. I call ref help as I see it.

Refs favor the Clippers is in the first half so that viewers are left with the impression that the refs are making it up to the Clippers. Then, when it matters, the refs heavily favor OKC.

Business as usual.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Just look two posts up.

:rollin well, there's one

Honestly I think OKC's storied history of being propped up by the refs is a complicated case of multiple factors converging together. Part of it is probably reputation. Durant and Westbrook have always been awarded ticky tack fouls on wild, reckless drives towards the rim, and that's sort of set a precedent for the officials to go by. A lot of the OKC players are awarded free throws on flops by falling to the floor on long range jump shot attempts, and for whatever reason it's really difficult to tell that these are flops in real time.

The problem is that over the course of a game or a season, this adds up. They should probably add a WARP rating for the refs for OKC, tbh :lmao

[ElNono]

The Clippers choked all on their own... Doc is first in line to admit that they stopped playing, turned it over, etc.

The Blazers was another team super-coddled by the refs, especially at home. As long as the Spurs keep playing their game and forget about what they cannot control (the refs), they should be fine.

You can't rig putting the ball in the basket. That's what the Spurs need to do.

[SpursFan86]

Not that I want them to face a full-strength OKC, but I disdain people wishing for severe injuries like that. I'd never root for an injury like that on a guy as good as Durant. It's just sports, all in all.

Being at ease with an injury (like Ibaka, but I doubt he misses much time) versus celebrating is way different in my eyes, certainly I wouldn't like the moral character of someone who would choose for another to get injured, I question their priorities in life if it comes down to that.

I guess I worded my post poorly. Here's a better explanation of what I was getting at:

If we got news today that Durant was out for the playoffs, I'd be completely fine with it. I wouldn't wish a serious injury on him, and I'd feel bad for him if he suffered something like a torn ACL...but I wouldn't be sad/upset as a Spurs fan. I wouldn't be happy that he's injured, but I'd be happy that the Spurs' chances of advancing just got much better.

[spurraider21]

I don't mind injuries like sprains/strains or stuff that hold guys out for a few weeks. I never hope for season ending stuff like acl's or Achilles

Dude, fuck *, a championship is a championship. As long as a team wins it legitimately, injuries don't matter. B/c unless you are a team like the Pistons were in the late 80's, purposely trying to injure opponents, injuries happen and are part of the game. Nothing the other team can do about it.

I will gladly take an asterisk title thank you.

[phxspurfan]

Not against Spurs, tbh..Ibaka is probably the 2nd most valuable player against the Spurs, more than Westbrook IMO..

This is very true. Spurs can sag in the paint to guard against Westbrook's drives, and send doubles when Durant or Westbrook catch the ball. With Ibaka and his good jumper in the game, Spurs can only hope to play good 1 on 1 defense.

And on offense, no Ibaka means lots of Steven Adams (fouls), Perkins (their best on-ball post defender but that's it), and Collison (our bigs are smart enough to avoid committing offensive fouls against his flops).

If Ibaka misses any time or isn't 100%, that looks small but it's huge.

[Malik Hairston]

Ibaka not only disrupts Parker's driving ability, but he also kills the interior passing of the Spurs' bigs, which is something they thrive in doing..

Offensively, his ability to stretch the floor obviously hurts the Spurs, as we have seen so many times, especially during the 2012 WCFs..

Splitter's ability to guard him helps, but it also hurts the offense and allows Ibaka to remain in the paint..they need Diaw to stretch the floor, but that harms the Spurs defensively..

If Ibaka is out or limited, it alters the entire gameplan..

Dude, fuck *, a championship is a championship. As long as a team wins it legitimately, injuries don't matter. B/c unless you are a team like the Pistons were in the late 80's, purposely trying to injure opponents, injuries happen and are part of the game. Nothing the other team can do about it.

That broken arm is exaggerated. It couldn't have been all that bad when he scored 33 points in game 5.

[Man In Black]

I don't know, except if TP is hurt more than they've been saying, that this is tossup series????

Advantage Spurs. SA Got Depth, a more balanced attack, 1 stud freak of a long armed athletic player with big fucking hands, a better coach and home court.

They got the MVP and the guy that prevents the MVP from averaging 35 and then a bunch of burly big men. They ain't balanced at all and now without Serge's range on both O and D, they are going to play a more compact game. All points SPURS!!!

People can try to analyze all they want and think of silver linings, but losing Ibaka is a massive blow to OKC, he's their 2nd most valuable player against the Spurs, tbh..

Arguably the best rim protector in the league, good pick&roll defender, good mid-range shooter with 3-point range, Spurs killer..massive blow..

What a great day, tbh..

Shit
I want the Spurs out because I can't stand their fans.

[TD 21]

Between this, the five day break between series and the four day break after game two, there's officially no longer an excuse to lose this series, unless Parker's injury slows him considerably.

They'll obviously counter by playing Durant a lot more at PF, with more three-point shooting surrounding him, which is normally bad news, but in this case it's an excellent trade off for the Spurs, who no longer have to worry about the Splitter/Diaw issues (as outlined by Harlem) in this match-up and can have their cake and eat it too, as far as playing with ideal spacing more frequently, while not having to give up anything defensively.

Specifically in terms of closing games, they no longer have to have Ginobili on Jackson; instead, Green can become the fifth closer and guard either him or Westbrook, Parker can take the other and Ginobili can hide on Butler or Fisher.

Good points, and I completely agree with the Spurs not having any excuse to lose this series..with Ibaka out, there's absolutely no reason the Spurs should lose this shit, with home court advantage, and coming off a 5-game series where they exerted little energy and faced minimal physicality..

Hate to see anyone injured because I don't want the karma to come back and bite the Spurs in the butt with an injury. That said, this is great news for the Spurs. Early enough to get the news to game plan around the alternative lineups they will see.
OTOH, it would be pretty damn funny to see Ibaka in the starting lineup on Monday. "Our bad. We thought it was worse than it was.", says Brooks.

[crc21209]

Wow. You never wish injury against an opposing player, but wow this helps the Spurs. Ibaka is a huge piece to OKC's puzzle, especially against the Spurs. Westbrook and Durant's penetration constantly opens up shots for Ibaka against the Spurs, which he is always capable of knocking down as well all know from the 12' West Finals. While Perkins and Collison are good post defenders, they're not the rim protectors that Ibaka is. And while Adams can provide some rim protection, he can't shoot for shit. Pretty good news for the Spurs today...

[heyheymymy]

I think he rupture the calf muscle. What makes me think that is the case is that Paul kneed him in the calf as soon as Ibaka put all his weight on his leg. This is how most sport injury occur, getting hit in a particular spot (knee, elbow, arm, chest, leg, etc) when its the most tensed. In most cases a torn ligament or rupture muscle occurs.

With a rupture muscle, you can still walk, but the boot is to stabilize the leg obviously. He if just strained the calf, he wouldn't need a boot.

hats off to this poster, called the severity with some legit knowledge and delivered goods well before it was confirmed official. gotta drop some recognition for this solid take/analysis

They were always going to do some of that. Now they'll do it more often.

Relegates Splitter to backup center duty, but still a huge net positive for the Spurs.

I don't see how countering a lineup that includes westbrook and reggie jackson with a lineup that has leonard as the second smallest player would be a good idea.

Actually, my thought was that Diaw is another ball handler, which can help with Sefalosha's length on Parker. Without Ibaka, we don't need as much height, but we still need a second ball handler, and that could be Diaw.

[Malik Hairston]

Sefolosha being on the court is good news for the Spurs, tbh..the Jackson/Westbrook/Durant trio is frightening..

The lineup the article talked about was Westbrook, jackson, durant, adams, collison. No sefalosha. Jackson and westbrook would kill parker and leonard.

When Adams and Collison play together the other team has bench typically have more bench players playing. Of course Durant's TS% increases.
