Thunder F Ibaka to start Game 3 (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/injured-thunder-f-ibaka-could-162411125--nba.html)

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Thunder coach Scott Brooks said forward Serge Ibaka will start Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Sunday night.

Ibaka has missed the first two games of the series against the San Antonio Spurs with a left calf strain. The Thunder had said he likely would miss the rest of the playoffs, but miraculously changed course Friday.

Ibaka said Sunday morning the pain started to subside in the past three days. He took part in the team's Sunday morning shootaround and later got positive feedback from the team's medical staff.

With Ibaka, the league's leading shot blocker, the Thunder were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. Without him, San Antonio shot at least 50 percent in the first two games and won them by a combined 52 points. The Spurs have said all along that they expected him to return during the series.

Ibaka was glad to be out on the practice court in the shootaround, and he appreciates the fact that playing is even a possibility.

''It feels great,'' he said. ''The first time the doctors told me I would not be able to play in the playoffs, I cried like a little bitch. It was something that I wasn't really looking for. I always enjoy playing with my teammates and playing basketball.''

Their master plan was to forfeit two games?

[Mikeanaro]

Starting the game? WTF so this bum is gonna play 40 minutes or something? Brooks and Presti are very desperate bitches.

Probably

[AFBlue]

Attack early and often...make this fool attempt 20 blocks on the first 20 shots. He'll be gone by halftime and this shit will be a non-story.

[PingPong]

Who gives a fuck? I just hope the spurs don't get intimidated and make the fucker work. If was really injured, make him pay for it.

Brooks came out and said he has no plans to limit Ibaka's minutes. Fine, just make him run.

Cause the nigga ain't injured anywhere near as bad as Presti's lying ass made it sound

[HI-FI]

from a team that lied to Seattle, lives off foodstamps, this is what you expect.

Is that quote for real?

If so, the NBA should Donald Sterling him -- it's no less offensive than Sterling's nonsense.

And stole New Orleans' shtick about standing until the first basket tbh

This.
Along with head cheerleader and mouthpiece Vagina Miller and the entire t.v. / media crew playing along to fabricate some Willis Reed type drama. :rolleyes

Yup

[Horry Hipcheck]

That's obvious at this point, but it doesn't change the fact that he's injured at least somewhat. They didn't just throw away Games 1 and 2 so they could try and mindfuck the Spurs. Ibaka's going to tire out if he has to play too much. Make him play too much.

[Mikeanaro]

I hope this nig keeps his shit quiet, I mean no faces grabbing his waist/legs/whatever a la Wade because when those cumdrinkers are winning they never complain about pain.

[dbreiden83080]

He was injured bad enough to miss the first 2.. Tony still has a tight hamstring and has not missed any time so far.. He will play tonight on adrenaline but is far from healthy..

[jag]

Might need Baynes to come in and goon it up.

[baseline bum]

This nigga is going 11-11

[baseline bum]

So anyone want to apologize here? Nigga faked like hell

[baseline bum]

Even Reggie knows that class 2 strain was bullshit

[Robz4000]

:lol he looks pretty damn good unfortunately...

[baseline bum]

5-5, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks five minutes into the second quarter.

[slick'81]

He didn't do shit after that first quarter

Symptoms of a grade 2 strain will be more severe than a grade one with up to 90% of the muscle fibers torn. A sharp pain at the back of the lower leg will be felt with significant pain walking.

So Abaka is like, what, medical miracle?

At this point it is obvious it wasnt even a grade 1 strain but simply a hematoma, he is playing at 100%, fortunately we have two games won already, if we cant seal the deal, thats on us

[testies]

did he get hurt at one point after falling from a rebound fight? maybe its just wishful thinking
