Clippers or OKC

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

He said the spurs should win "without much trouble". I suppose that prediction doesn't include a game 7. To prevent a game 7, Spurs need to win 2 out of 3 in reflahoma.

Come on, everyone with half a brain knew since early october the series was going to be tough 6 or 7 games. Why bite on Harlem'stakes?

Lot of folks here were talking about 5 easy games, and none of them were trolling.

[Kawhitstorm]

They won game 2 by 1-point on a blown call:lol

Spurs should be embarrassed if they lose this series against a team that ranked in the bottom 10 in defense vs. +500 teams, and barely had a winning record against +.500 teams..shouldn't be an issue, they will win the series, won't be too much trouble IMO..

This shyt was similar to the game OKC lost to the Mavs when Durant missed a layup & Adams put back got called off.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Lot of folks here were talking about 5 easy games, and none of them were trolling.

Even w/ WB/KD/Ibaka going off (along w/ Adams dominating the paint) the Spurs would have won the game if they didn't sleepwalk & got down 19-6 to start the game.

They actually had a shot to win the game on the final possession w/ Kawhi/Patty throwing up bricks in the 2nd half & Tim missing point blank layups.:lol (Let's not even mention Pop & the refs)
PSA: The Mavs/Rockets won a game when OKC/GSW were having bad shooting nights.:wakeup

And the next game we lose in this series you will come up with another excuse to try to rationalize what in your mind should be an easy series.

The truth is, OKC has always played SAS tough. There's just something about that matchup that makes life dufficult for us. And I know that they don't have Harden or Jackson anymore, or as good as defense as they used to have. That's what makes us the favourites instead of the underdogs. But that still doesn't transform this matchup into a walk on the park. OKC gives the Spurs fits and will always give them fits as long as Durant and Westbrook (and to a lesser extent Ibaka) are there. They have 2 of the 5 best players in the World for fuck sakes. Of course they are going to be tough, no matter what shit they put around them.

I know you don't like to be proven wrong and will keep posting stuff up to try to spin it your way but reality trumps theory and the reality tells us that we are flying to OKC 1-1.

So, the 2014 Mavs were a tough matchup b/c it went 7?:lol (If the Spurs are going to sleepwalk & switch bigs onto Westbrick then he's going to eat them alive just like Monta Ellis except Kawhi can guard WestBrick unlike Monta)

If the Clippers had Blake/Cp3/ReDick going off w/ DeAndre dominating then it would have been a 20 point blowout, meanwhile OKC had to dodge a wide open shot by Patty to pullout a win. Even the 2014 Mavs blewout the Spurs in Gm 2 at AT&T when they came out of the gates sleepwalking & that's the team that demolished the Heat.

At the end of the day, the Spurs should be able to beat OKC 4 out of 5 times if they showup at tip-off. If the Spurs play a complete game then even WB/KD/Ibaka going off & Adams dominating wouldn't matter as we saw tonight.

I'm waiting for you to claim the 2015 Rockets were better than the Clippers b/c they beat them in 7.:lol

[DAF86]

Mmmh, pretty much. Yeah.

When was the last time the Clippers have been healthy by round 2 of the playoffs? And when they were, when did they proved they can get over the hump and not choke it up? The Clippers are a lesser team than the Thunder. They have proven so all regular season long and they have proven it on these playoffs too. They don't have any top 5 player (much less two), they didn't have the record, they didn't have the health, they don't have the second round and they have never proven shit. They barely escaped, last season, against a much worse Spurs team with home court. There was no chance whatsoever of them eliminating the Spurs again this season.

Now, I still think we should beat OKC but I do have some kind of fear about a team having two top 5 players being able to pull the upset. That wouldn't have happened against LAC.

I know you will try to come up with some more "impossible to prove" theories about why getting LAC on our side of the bracket would have been worse, because you clearly have some kind of problem with accepting losing a debate/argument but it's waaaay to late for this shit. Im going to want to kick myself for staying this late tomorrow when I wake up to work.

[Kawhitstorm]

Mmmh, pretty much. Yeah.

We all saw how tough of a matchup the 2014 Mavs were when the REAL Spurs showed up right from tip off in Gm 7 & run them out of the building.:lol

You are the one coming up w/ the Clippers "impossible to prove" "Clippers curse" theory.:lol I didn't say the Clippers would be the Spurs, I said they would be a more difficult matchup that OKC b/c Chris Paul can get anything he wants even against Kawhi b/c he isn't a low IQ chucker, Danny can't keep up w/ Redick, Blake can actually postup unlike Ibaka & DeAndre can protect the rim better than 2016 Ibaka.

Whether the Clippers go up 3-1 & choke in the 4th quarter of Gm 7 is irrelevant b/c I don't see OKC going up 3-1 as long as the Spurs aren't sleepwalking ala 2014 vs. Mavs. Besides, there was the other factor of the Clippers being a tougher matchup than OKC for the Warriors b/c the Warriors feast on undisciplined teams like OKC.

[spurraider21]

okc is still a preferable opponent to the clippers (at full strength, obviously)

So, if this ends up being a tough 6 or 7 games series it won't be because the Thunder are tough, it will be because the Spurs would have been "sleepwaking" in the WCSF against a team with 2 top 5 players and that has already beaten the Spurs in the playoffs. Ok, then. :lol

You have all the angles covered here and you can't lose. Good for you son. :lol

Bruh, I think we call ALL agree the Spurs were "sleepwalking" to start the game (terrible transition defense), missed a bunch of POINT BLANK layups plus Pop coached a bad game (rotation, switching PnRs, benching Kawhi)...RIGHT?

WB didn't score a SINGLE basket against Kawhi meanwhile Chris Paul was scoring at will against Kawhi in the 2015 series. (WB was feasting on transition baskets, Manu & switches)

The main difference b/w the Cripples/Meth City is the head of the snake. Kawhi/Danny are basically a non factor on defense against Paul/Redick & on top of knocking down mid-range shots, Blake can actually postup & abuse mismatches unlike Ibaka. Not to mention LMA would have had to play defense against Blake which would have affected his offensive output or even have gotten him in foul trouble.

Meanwhile, your argument for why OKC is a tougher matchup is to SIMPLY state they had two top 5 players without ANALYZING the matchups just like a degenerate causal fan. Ever heard of the expression "styles make fights"?:rolleyes

Russy turned into WestBrick when Kawhi was hounding him & he couldn't get transition baskets in the 2nd half. Thanks to Pop they kept switching the PnRs & putting LMA on WB which was the only time he scored in the 2nd half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV9LRdSLHeQ

Yeah, I've heard of "style makes fights", and OKC style has always given San Antonio fits. Including this season where they are 3-3. No other team has beaten the Spurs more this year than OKC.

[Kawhitstorm]

LMAO, they played essentially one REAL game in the regular season (two if you want to count LMA's Spurs debut).:lol

Cripples split the season series 2-2 including BLOWING OUT the Spurs WITHOUT Blake & were the only away team to lead in the 4th quarter at AT&T for the 1st half of the season. They were also the only team to beat the Spurs at AT&T more than once last season when the Spurs also had an epic home record.

Kawhi has shutdown WB this season while Chris Paul has feasted w/ or w/o Blake.

[DAF86]

Blah, blah, blah yet here we are, tied at 1 a piece and going to OKC while Paul and Blake are fishing somewhere.

The funny thing is that if somehow the Spurs lose this series, you would still somehow give no credit whatsoever to the Thunder being a tough opponent. You would just try to find an excuse to justify yourself because you think you can never be wrong.

Dummy, if the Spurs get outplayed rather than beat themselves then I have no issues giving credit to OKC. Gm 2 had to do w/ OKC taking advantage of the Spurs mishaps (mostly getting transition buckets off missed layups), it's not something the Spurs can't cleanup.

For example, the Cripples beat the Spurs by picking & rolling 'em to death to which the Spurs had no answer whatsoever. On the other hand, the Cripples beat themselves against the Rockets. If OKC beats the Spurs 3 out of 5 times w/ the Ibaka/WB PnR then I'll be the first one to point it out. In Gm 2, the Spurs outscored OKC by 11 even when Ibaka/WB were feasting against LMA on PnRs.

Yeah, because those things aren't subjective at all. Everybody gets on the same page when deciding if the winning team was too good or the losing team too awful. :lol

If missing 6 or 7 point blank layups & getting down 19-6 b/c of terrible transition defense isn't awful then I don't know what you consider "awful".:rolleyes

Again, the Spurs outscored OKC by 11 after that 19-6 start despite everyone outside of LMA/Manu having an atrocious shooting night. Meaning, if they cleaned up their mistakes a little bit they could still win while having a subpar shooting night along w/ Ibaka/WB/KD going off & the ALMOST did if it wasn't for a botched up 3-on-1 fastbreak. On the other hand, OKC has no answer for LMA just like the Spurs had no answer for Chris Paul.

I was WRONG about Softridge, dude is a bitch ass loser. We are arguing about nothing anyways, the journey would have ended in the WCF which ever path they took.

Aldridge had 2 monster games, 1 good game and 2 so-so games (he still got about 20 pts in both games. It's not like he completely dissapeared) that should have been enough to have already won the series, or be ahead, if the matchup would have been as easy as you thought it would be.

Basically, if the Spurs can't guard OKC's PnR then good luck stopping Cp3/Blake (assuming they were healthy) along w/ DeAndre rolling to the rim & pounding the offensive glass. They also had a dependable third scorer in ReDick & Rivers/Crawford/Aldrich would have feasted on Patty/Manu/D-Worst.

First off, I said OKC would BETTER matchup than the Cripples not a fuckin' cakewalk. (I only said it would be a 5 game series after the ass whoopin' that took place in Gm 1 which came as a surprise)

Second, Tim being crippled has had a HUGE impact on the series. (If you told me D-Worst would be playing as many minutes as Tim then I would have had second thoughts)

Exactly. DAF bumping this like it means anything. If the Blazers beat the Clippers at full strength (assuming Paul and Blake never went down), then I could agree they were a fluke and that OKC is a scarier matchup. Spurs have beaten themselves more in this series than OKC has figured them out. The Clippers would have just beaten the Spurs.

Nothing of what you say is remotely close to being true, and I will list the reason why one last time. Take notes please, so you won't keep repeating the same retarded shit after I'm done.

Reasons why the Clippers weren't a tougher second round matchup than the Thunder:

1-First of all and most obvious one: Clippers are not in the fucking second round. Yeah, I know that the premise is to supposse they would have been healthy BUT, when was the last time the Clippers got healthy to the second round of the playoffs? Yeah, that's right: never.

2-The Thunder are a better team than the Clippers. They had a better record, a way better pts differential, more depth and better players.

3-Star power. KD and Westbrook are guys that can single-handedly win a game or two by themselves. Paul and Griffin aren't really capable of doing that.

4-Mental strength. OKC, thanks to KD and Westbrook, are competitive monsters. The Clippers, and its stars, have always proved to be mental midgets.

5-Revenge factor. OKC has that over the Spurs, the Spurs had that over the Clippers. The human mind is probably the most powerful thing in the World, and you are kidding yourselves if you think this doesn't play a factor. There was absolutely no way that Pop, Tim, Manu, Tony and Kawhi would have let themselves lose against the fucking Clippers for the second time in a row.

Yeah well, you aren't me; tbh, imvho.

Months ago when it became apparent the Spurs would see OKC or LAC in the second round, while others were arguing over who would be the easier match up, I said the current Spurs would lose to either (albeit I said OKC would be an easier match up) in 6 games. Spurs continued to look like shit and Pop continued to be a mediocre coach, so the results aren't surprising.

Well no, I don't agree with that. There's no doubt in my mind that the Spurs wouldn't have lost against the Clippers, healthy or not.

The Clippers were actually better than last year's team while this version of OKC is prolly their worst iteration. On paper the Spurs are better than either, but for whatever reason (bottom of the rotation falling out, shitty coaching, choking, etc) the Spurs have underperformed massively.

The Clippers were actually better than last year's team while this version of OKC is prolly their worst iteration. On paper the Spurs are better than either, but for whatever reason (bottom of the rotation falling out, shitty coaching, choking, etc) the Spurs have underperformed massively.

That thing about the Clippers being better than last year is pretty arguable. Personally, I don't agree with that. Matt Barnes wasn't that much of a factor but he was still better than a guy that can't hit a shot to save his life, tbh. They were about the same, probably a bit worse, tbh. And yes, OKC isn't as good as it was in 2012 but they are still, clearly, a better team than the Clippers. OKC being a lesser team than they were some years ago has nothing to do with how they compare with the Clippers, that have never really proven to be an elite team. And probably never will, tbh.

And if you are expecting me to believe that you had any conviction then you are obviously implying that you put money on it otherwise keep throwing darts till the cows come home. Oh, there will be delivery of hot cow shit to your door when the broken clock strikes 12.

Why? I'm not a gambler son. :lol

One guy could bet me that the Blazers are going to turn their series around against GS and I still wouldn't bet. I don't even know how to bet online. I don't know if I have to register somewhere, or how to send the money, or any of the other stuff, and I don't fucking care. But that doesn't mean that I don't have a conviction on what I say, tbh. :lol

Yes, you clearly stated OKC's role players would be the difference in the series.:sleep

Nothing of what you say is remotely close to being true, and I will list the reason why one last time. Take notes please, so you won't keep repeating the same retarded shit after I'm done.

Reasons why the Clippers weren't a tougher second round matchup than the Thunder:

1-First of all and most obvious one: Clippers are not in the fucking second round. Yeah, I know that the premise is to supposse they would have been healthy BUT, when was the last time the Clippers got healthy to the second round of the playoffs? Yeah, that's right: never.

2-The Thunder are a better team than the Clippers. They had a better record, a way better pts differential, more depth and better players.

3-Star power. KD and Westbrook are guys that can single-handedly win a game or two by themselves. Paul and Griffin aren't really capable of doing that.

4-Mental strength. OKC, thanks to KD and Westbrook, are competitive monsters. The Clippers, and its stars, have always proved to be mental midgets.

5-Revenge factor. OKC has that over the Spurs, the Spurs had that over the Clippers. The human mind is probably the most powerful thing in the World, and you are kidding yourselves if you think this doesn't play a factor. There was absolutely no way that Pop, Tim, Manu, Tony and Kawhi would have let themselves lose against the fucking Clippers for the second time in a row.

I'm not convinced Pop would have coached differently against the Clippers. He refused to make adjustments against the same team last season. IMO it's pointless to argue which team would have been better against this current Spurs (the one that has TD looking broken and Pop mailing it in). Either team should have feasted on us.

You can go ahead and ramble more but it's not gonna change my opinion or make yours look better to me, tbh.

Just reminding you how wrong you were about this sons. Reflect on that for a while. God bless.

OKCs role players own the spurs soul. No matter it's thabo sefolosha or Andre fucking Roberson, those nig nogs drain 3s like their ray Allen

[Floyd Pacquiao]

That's why I wanted the clippers. Even tho they beat us last year that was probably our worst team in the last 5 years. This year with Aldridge would be different. OKC on the other hand just always gets up for the spurs. They're like the mid 00s Mavericks.

Damn they are starting to look like the 2011 Mavs :lol even Westbrook is cutting down on fuckups and stupid shots..if they get this next game, shit will get real..

[timtonymanu]

Bump this all you want, this Spurs team was not a contender, at least the team we saw in the playoffs. I'll admit OKC has found another gear that looks 2011 Mavs-esque.

[hater]

As I called since summer. Nobody is beating the Cavs in the finals. NOBODY

[SAGirl]

One could really argue that once Timmy blew his last good tire we were not going to get past any legit team.

[houston spurs fan]

Nobody can beat the Warriors, realistically:lol

OKC has a better chance, though IMO..we've seen how the Clippers-Warriors games play out..Clippers keep it close, but never close the deal..

I hope OKC gets 3rd, though, I'd much rather play them..don't want an entire series of Chris Paul pick&rolls and JJ Redick screens..
Another great take from this fucker.

OKC is dangerous


Stop posting, moron. Fuck.
