Who here thinks we're in for a rude awakening?

[Sigz]

This is set up all too perfectly for us.

- Up 2-0

- Playing excellent team ball

- Confidence


BUT, this is all set up for us to fail.

-- Back to Meth-City with an energized crowd.

-- Ref ball be ready to take over

-- Ibaka coming back from his "injury" will go off

-- Westchimp and Beta find their groove.

-- Tie series 2-2 thus killing our confidence.

-- Ref ball back at SA. Down 2-3

-- Back to MethCity for the 2-4 series defeat so the NBA can see a cool Ibaka "comeback" story and a finals preview of the past two MVPs.



You all know our luck in the past.....

The NBA is going to change the logo from Jerry West to Ibaka.

Fuck

[slick'81]

Don't think spurs will be winning this game by 20 but I hope I'm wrong

[Ron Swanson]

Thunder 148

What's your prediction for the 2nd half?

[DarrinS]

What's your prediction for the 2nd half?

Ibaka has 40 blocks, 40 points, and 40 assists

[DarrinS]

Ibaka then runs to the Spurs bench and speedbags Pop's nuts

[xmas1997]

Bite your tongue!

[slick'81]

Ibaka then runs to the Spurs bench and speedbags Pop's nuts

dont forget ibaka then beheads splitter and asks the crowd are you not entertained

[MVPCues]

Thunder play with 3 players...Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka...and win by 18.

P.S.
Durant is stripped of his MVP and it is given to Ibaka.

[benstanfield]

True, is it too late to start tanking?

[313]

:lmao at the responsess


No, OP, there is no way we lose this game. Is Sef going to score 20 again, is Ibaka going to go 11/11, or is Harden walking through that door? No? Ok.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Serge signal lights up the Oklahoma city sky line.....there's a crime somewhere!!!!!! No time to waste, serge transforms into..........Bak man, with cat like reflexes and deft precision, he leaps toward center court, just as the thunder logo opens up revealing the fire man pole which he slides down into his secret underground lair beneath the arena........moments later, he's communicating with OKC PD Commissioner Billy Bob Jimbo Gordon. Quick, a masked criminal is terrorizing the city, stealing meth from helpless school children!!!!!! 12 minutes later, with the bandit safely behind bars and the city safe, Serge returns to the arena to find the thunder have gone down by 18 to those dastardly spurs!!!!!!! He swoops in from a hole in the roof, catches a pass from Durant, does a triple somersault simultaneously dunking on Splitters head, knocking him unconscious in the process, while being fouled, which is good for a twenty point play, thunder win by two.

In all seriousness, this. I expect the Thunder to win a game or two, especially at home. Game 3 is a great opportunity for them to get the first. Ibaka's return puts pressure on Splitter and Duncan not to get abused in the post and to fight for rebounds. It also means Durant no longer has to play post defense when Serge is on the floor, which is where the Spurs were getting away with murder because KD has no idea how to be a post defender. Pop is sure to have a strategy for when Ibaka is on the floor and Parker's driving lanes suddenly disappear. But unless Jackson and Sefolosha get their heads out of their asses, and they get more contributions from Collison and Adams, they're not going to be aided much.

[dbreiden83080]

I think the team up 2-0 wins like 94% of the time.. Play the odds and stay loose.. This won't be a sweep..

[Spurs9]

I ain't satisfied until the game is over, remember 6 now

[phyzik]

I think the beta posters who are clinching their assholes about the spear chucker coming back are in for a rude awakening. He wont help the Thunder for shit if Spurs continue to play like they have.

[Russ]

I think the team up 2-0 wins like 94% of the time.. Play the odds and stay loose.. This won't be a sweep..

On the optimistic side, the Spurs have lost only twice when leading a series 2-0.

In 2004, they lost to the Lakers after going up 2-0 and extending their winning steak to 17. They then lost 4 straight.

In 2012, they lost to OKC after going up 2-0 and extending their winning steak to 20. They then lost 4 straight.

No big winning streaks here folks. :)

[dbreiden83080]

If we lose tonight and Ibaka is a factor everyone in here will be having a shit fit.. Winning chips is not supposed to be easy.. Have faith in the team..

do us a favor and shut the fuck up faggot

[TE]

I'm not surprised if we lose by 5+. The Thunder role players are due for a decent offensive performance. Serge Ibaka will have more of an effect on the offensive side of the ball...he gives them another option as a pick and pop forward. Defensively he'll have less lateral mobility which will particularly hinder his ability to defend the pick and roll.

[hater]

Wont be a rude awakening. METH is expected to win game 3. Only spur homers would be rudely awakened imo

[Horry Hipcheck]

Only those thinking they're going to see Game 2 all over again en route to a 3-0 lead are in for a rude awakening. Ibaka's not going to win them the series, but they're going to play better at home. As long as the Spurs play their game and keep it close, we'll all be fine. Going out and getting stomped like they did in Game 3 of the '12 series wouldn't be ideal.

[Sigz]

Oh....the over confident ones.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs established the precedent and pattern of spectacular playoff chokes the last few years.
Will this year be different?

[Jimcs50]

Spurs win by 5

[PingPong]

Block Durbeta two times in a row again and blow his confidence.

Oh shit we're fucked. Refla-metha!

:lol the very first thing that came to mind for me too. Scotty "The Brain" Brooks will distract the refs just long enough for Durant to hit Parker with his MVP trophy and then "Ravishing" Russell Westbrook hits the finisher.

[Capster]

I do NOT think we are in for a Rude Awakening! HEELLLLL NOOOOO. Ibaka may play, but let's be real, he has a gimpy leg. It may be a close game, but I HAVE NO DOUBT......the SPURS will do this! I wish you haters would eat shit and die.https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/1517820_10151908141421981_1626634391_n.jpg

That photo is the single most obnoxious thing to come out of the Spurs organization since Dennis Rodman.

First time the terms "Scott Brooks" and "Brain" have been used together in a sentence without "has no" being between them.

[davidbowie]

did you really think we were gonna demolish okc and beat lebron and ride off into the sunset like heroes

of course not lol

[-21-]

OP seems on point right now.

[Sean Cagney]

I didn't, I was shocked by the first two games scores. I knew this would end up a series.

[tmtcsc]

Just stop already. This isn't set up for shit except for the Thunder losing this series. The Spurs played pretty poorly from the second quarter on. They will adjust and be fine. If the Spurs won this game the series would have been over. With or without Ibaka the Thunder were going to play balls out. See ya Wednesday.

Alot of the Spurs poor playing also had to do with the fact that the Thunder played alot better defensively. The only way the Spurs can even the scales is by playing better defense.

[TampaDude]

Just gotta get the split in OKC. Game 4 is likely ours. Spurs in 5.

Worst-case scenario is a 3-game series with 2 in SA. Spurs in 7.

We so totally got this. This ain't 2012, folks. We're not losing this series, period.

[Sigz]

Well.....

[rascal]

Spurs established the precedent and pattern of spectacular playoff chokes the last few years.
Will this year be different?

It won't be a choke if they lose. The first two games OK City was short handed which directly lead to the two wins. Losing after going up two games now would only mean Thunder are the better team when healthy.

[Sigz]

Let's see how the rest of my predictions play out...

[therealtruth]

If we keep giving up on games I think we are. The margin for error is very slim. Giving up confidence building blowouts does not help.

[Capster]

You got that right.....therealtruth.....I'm with you!!!! Go Spurs!!!!!

[hater]

meh. regardless of how they play out all Spurs need to do is win 1 game within 4 to force a game 7. If they cannot do this they have no business in the finals.

[therealtruth]

That's 1 in 3. If they don't win again by the end of game 6 they're out.

well I was counting game 3 within that probability

Damnit.
