Hopefully that CoJo dunk...

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Taught these pussies that IBAKA IS NOT UNSTOPPABLE. I swear these pussy, half-ass shots in the lane and reluctancy to drive has gotten on my last nerves. Even Pop during the timeouts seems shell shock. I've heard three different times about Ibaka in the huddle. WTF? Just play ball and stop being so scared. Sad thing is we have a better all-around team, but for some reason they get shell-shocked and just start shooting jumpers, jumpers, jumpers.

It's so annoying. Not even going to touch on Westbrook's touch fouls. We better win game 5.

No, you shut up. I don't even like Scrub the least little bit, but in this case he is exactly f'ing correct.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs just panic in the lane when Ibaka is there. Nothing can be done about it.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop lives by his system doesn't know how to coach outside of it and doesn't have the personnel to do so. Can only hope that OKC screws up for two more games.

[Spurs9]

Agreed, spurs acting like its a 10 foot guy whos invincible by the rim. The smallest guy on the team took it right at him and dunked it.

I say fuck you Jobu

[BatManu20]

Agreed. This teams tends to forget that Ibaka is so eager to block shots that he also falls for almost very pump fake thrown at him.. be smart, use that against him. Don't throw up weak lay up and floater attempts right at the rim (looking at you, Tony and Tiago).

:lol

[skut_farkus]

For every scrub that dunks on ibaka he has blocked like 6 others including duncan and parker. The odds are not in your favor. The jumpers will start to fall again in San antonio

[doobs]

Spurs just need to go at him directly and hard, initiate body contact, even at the risk of offensive fouls, who knows, maybe fall on him like Chris Paul did

[testies]

was that an And1? because he fking hit him

Yeah there's a 0% chance he's gonna take a charge so we just need to get him foul trouble

We really needed to see Tony's reaction, he is the one playing like a scared pussy ever since Ibaka came back.

[spurspokesman]

Duncan looked like he saw an unicorn on that play

[johnpaulwall21]

that was like Jordan over Ewing, Starks over the bulls, Malik over Mutombo, Duncan going at Shaq all rolled into one. CoJo was not intimidated and went straight at ibaka.
this play will stand out most to our boys in getting ready for game 5. :toast

[look_at_g_shred]

It def looked like it woke up our guys. We'll see if that worked. I think Corey after the dunk, should've yelled while looking at our bench.

:tu I don't understand why the team with the best ball movement in the league isn't exploiting Ibaka's overcommitting all the time.

The Spurs need to grow some testicles before game 5

Splitter.

Coach Pop tells the players to stay away from Ibaka because a block is like a turnover. That makes them non aggressive. It's Pop's toys and he can take them and go home if you don't play how he wants.

[CitizenDwayne]

Good point.

Don't see it happening though

They've got to play like they did in games 1-2. To avoid the paint is stupid. Just jump into his body or pass to the man he's cheating off. But just staying and shooting jumpers isn't going to get it done. OKC will take the paint points and all the jumpers they want. Meanwhile the Spurs will be taking only jumpers. They've got to win the battle in the paint.

So they have to play like Ibaka is not in the game. That's stupid. Pop talked about passing around a photo of Ibaka to let them know he blocks shots. I don't know if he was challenging them to attack Ibaka or saying they should avoid the rim.

I got the impression he was saying they should be aware of Ibaka and pass to the open man. Presumably either the open man on the perimeter or someone else cutting to the basket after Ibaka commits to go for a shot block.

When guys drive or cut, the others guys need to seal their guys off to prevent the help / weakside defense from slidi g over to contest the shots. The others guys have to be engaged in their individual battles.

[DMC]

I agreed with coach Nick. I think the games are weird. The Spurs did that same thing in game 4 against Portland, and it just made no sense at all that people could not hold on to the ball, couldn't even bring it up the court without stepping out of bounds. It's not well orchestrated.

That's all fine and good except when every contact from a Spur results in a foul call, eventually teams start sagging off and then the Thunder just run right to the rim. On offense they aren't going to get the foul call so they cannot rely on that, and the Thunder can just molest the shooter. It's not a fair fight that way but teams accept it.

Yes of course that's a given. Weve all bitched about the fouls being called throughout the threads. I shouldnt have to preface every post with the "now none of this matters if it's not called fairly but..." That should be understood.

Splitter.
I think its less Splitter and more Duncan-Splitter pairing. That 4-5 pairing has no spacing. In the final regular season meeting Ibaka was shutting down the paint. Duncan was tossing it to Splitter and Splitter was pinned under the backboard. Splitter was passing it back to Duncan who would throw up a wild shot.

Duncan should play with Diaw only.

Splitter should play with Bonner or Diaw

[ShoogarBear]

In retrospect, CoJo's dunk is probably the third-most important playoff dunk in Spurs' history, and the weirdest because it was in a loss.

Duncan: .......(shocked)

Manu: Oh Cory... I didn't know he can do that

[myhc]

Maybe I'm reading too much into this. But can you recall a game in Spurs playoff history where the inspired play of our 3rd stringers coming in garbage time of a blowout loss meant so much in galvanizing our team, that Cojo dunk being the standout play of that run? This TEAM, so proud of them.
