Wasn't meant to troll the general population, tbh:lol
To answer your question, Kobe, Pau, and Sessions...in that order.

Thabo, Tony, Harden, Green, Harden, and Ibaka.
Oh and fuck you too Daquean Cook.

Timvps thread on spurs stats for the playoffs also supports the theory that Manu failed to step up, in fact his effect on teammates was actually worse than regular season. Check the numbers.

Re: If you had to blame one player for the WCF series loss, who would it be?
If you are blaming someone on the Spurs, it comes down to Green, Bonner, or Splitter. They were all key to the team's regular season success, and their disappearance against OKC was to great to overcome. If I had to pick one, it would be Bonner. Green and Splitter at least play good defense even when their offense is terrible. If Bonner isn't hitting shots, he is worthless.
If you are blaming an OKC performance, it has to be Ibaka. You expect Durant, Westbrook, and Harden to get their's. Those three put up 90 points in game 2 and the Spurs still won. When OKC's role players stepped up, the Spurs couldn't match them. Ibaka was the catalyst for this, especially in that game where he made every shot (forget which). Drop his shooting percentage to even 50% for the final few games and the Spurs would have won the series.

Spurs were supposed to have a big 3. when it came to elimination time, we only had a big 2.
Considering how close our losses were, points-wise, I blame the player with higher expectations and responsibilities.

He was our best 3 point threat that series when Danny Green and Gary Neal decided to fall off the face of the earth. It's a team game and no single players causes you to lose a 7 game sereis, but if you really want to point fingers, then point them at Durant, Thebo, and Green. Blaming Manu for that series loss is beyond stupid. Enough said.
Agreed! Great post! :toast What a dumbass to blame Manu! :bang Where was the worthless one Bonner! Nowhere to be found as usual, Splitter playing soft, Parker forgetting how to play and allowing Thabo box him in, Green/Neal/Bonner laying so many bricks that could build a new dome for SA!:rollin

DD was trying to bridge our Danny Green v OJ Mayo debate. I think I won him over to my point (only took about 60 posts).

Fair enough. For the Spurs v. OKC, it was Manu.

Nah, DD was trying to incite Spurfan on Spurfan crime. And he succeeded.

when it comes to okc, ibaka is who came to my mind as well.

Re: If you had to blame one player for the WCF series loss, who would it be?
OTOH, Spurfans did not see the same series as each other. Favorites, style, preconceptions, and so on, lead to different answers.
Me, ignoring the poster's rules, I blame Pop for panicking and not sticking to the system that got them into the WCF and a 2-0 lead. But then, I watched the WCF with faith in the system.
If I have to blame a player, I blame Splitter for not insisting for more playing time.

Not enough votes for Danny Green... back to the drawing board for DD... :lol

Re: If you had to blame one player for the WCF series loss, who would it be?
We played well the first two games. What caused the fall off in the next four?
Did OKC suddenly learn how to play tough defense without fouling? On the other hand, How did we lose that precise beautiful team offense that had been honed for over twenty straight games?
Whatever the cause of those two major changes in the working of the two teams, our team was thrown off stride and couldn't regain their mojo.

Re: If you had to blame one player for the WCF series loss, who would it be?
If I had to put it on one Spurs player, it would have to be Green; he experienced the biggest unexpected dropoff. Manu wasn't far behind on that count, though.
Still, the Spurs lost as a team, and while I'd put the biggest share of the blame on Green (taking too many angle 3s and not enough corner 3s IMO), it was still less than 15% of the total.
