"I don't understand this series! Basket really is weird. Anyway, most important is that we've won game 5. We lost 2 games in OKC because we didn't manage to play our game. It came back tonight and honestly, I don't know why. A very big win in a series of madness.
Matt Bonner started the game in place of Tiago because Pop wanted a shooter on the court to move Ibaka away from the basket. As for me, I just made sure to make the team play. OKC defends very well on me, they didn't leave much space for me on offense. So I have to adapt myself and release the ball quickly enough for my teammates. Not a problem for me, only victory counts.
We are now only a win away from the second NBA Finals in a row. It wouldn't hurt if we could avoid a 7th game at home. We'll do everything to finish Saturday in OKC. But as we've seen since the start of these conference finals, the team that plays home has a distinct advantage. It looks difficult but if we can repeat the game we did tonight, we can believe it."

In this series, that's great. They are defending him well, and I'm quite positive he's injured.

Nah he's moving well and is quick. They're just defending the hell out of him.

all these frenchies sitting around eating baguettes and not one can translate like the argies so graciously do.


THANKS. and you wonder why nobody learns french anymore.

Well, as for priorities in life, i'd think eating well ranks way higher than translating TP's blog posts.

Désolé.

There's really no point in spending time translating it, the rough translation in the OP conveys Tony's thoughts adequately. The corrections would be minor.

I don't understand this series ! Basketball is really weird. Anyway, the point is we won Game 5. We lost both games in OKC because we didn't manage to impose our game. It came back tonight, and honestly, I don't know why. This is a real big win in a crazy series.

Matt Bonner was in the starting five instead of Tiago Splitter because Pop wanted to put a shooter on the floor in order to keep Ibaka out of the paint. As for me, I tried to make the team play. OKC defends very well on me, they leave very little space for me on offense. So I have to adapt and give the ball rather quickly for my teammates. It's not a problem for me, only the win counts.

We are now only a win away from a second straight Finals appearance. It would be good to avoid a decisive Game 7. We will do our most to finish on Saturday in OKC. But as we've seen from the beginning of this WC series, the home team gets a big advantage. It looks difficult but if we manage to play like tonight's game with that intensity, we can have faith.

Today's Blog Post:

"I'll play on Thursday against the Heat"
"I twisted my ankle during game 4 against Dallas. I've been playing through the pain since then but twisted my ankle again against OKC during game 4. I tried to be tough and didn't want to leave my teammates. But the pain was too big during game 6 and I couldn't play anymore.
I'm spending most of my days trying to heal myself. But the good news is that I'll be able to play Game 1 against the Heat. I might not be 100% but I'll be there. In 13 years I played in 7 Conference Finals and I'm blessed to play my 5th finals with the Spurs. It really is awesome. I continue to live my dream, it's just nuts.
We're happy to be back in the Finals. It's really tough to reach it. I can't wait to start it. San Antonio - Miami is kind of the Dream Finals. A lot of people talk to me about last year's Finals, but I stopped thinking about it. It doesn't feel special to me, I don't feel the need for revenge. It's a new season and a new final, nothing else.
A very tough and close Finals is to be expected with these two good teams. I think little things will make the difference."
