It's funny how some people thought he would kill the Spurs. He has been pathetic this series.

Yeah, I don't get it. The guy (along with Fish) with championship experience.

Harping and AK (to a lesser extent) have been minimized, too.

The Spurs actively shut him out in games 1 and 2 and it got in his head. I thought he might have gotten some confidence back after he was allowed to hack TD constantly in game 3, but I think his main problem is the type of series this had become. Utah knows their only chance to win is to bang and make it physical as hell, and Okur is a soft big man who seemingly can't handle it.

He's been physical and allowed to hold and hack, but the quick double slapping down on the ball has been the effective part. Timmy didn't do a good job of adjusting until late.

Okur gets lots of his points because teams forget about him floating out there around the arc. We won't forget, Mehmet.

The Spurs have made shutting down Okur a top priority. Pop almost had a seizure when they let Okur get that open look from deep.

The series isn't over yet so he still has time to turn it around.

In fans defense he has killed the Spurs in the past. With that said, his entire postseason has been a disaster. Going into the playoffs if you told me that the Jazz would make the conference finals I would assume it was because of this guy stepping up, not because his team could win in spite of him.

I think the biggest thing is we have made stopping him priority #1. Even to the point of letting Deron score as long as we keep Okur on the snide.

is this one of those sarcastic, comparison contrast comedic funny topics?
