Hell yes! Ibaka is out for the remainder of the playoffs. Tony Parker can now penetrate at will, and the Spurs offense can run seamlessly. It's OVER people. This absolutely positively guarantees that we will be back in the Finals this year.
WOOOO I'm excited!
Doc Rivers is cackling to himself somewhere.
The only bummer is that OKC fans will use this as an excuse and asterisk for when we kick their asses and win the title, it was gonna happen either way mothafuckas. :ihit
stfu faggot.
Guarantees nothing, but certainly eases the pressure of slowing them down.Quote:

Never seen a fanbase as scared of a team like spursfan of Thunder :lol
Okc will miss Ibaka but Adams can hold his own. I still see a long toss up series
Injuries suck. Would have much rather played the Thunder at full strength.
Thankfully, even with the injury, Spurs are too smart to relax.
OKC's entire existence has an asterisk associated with it. They're an absolutely fraudulent team that lives off of having more ticky tack fouls called in their favor compared to their opponents.Quote:

LOCK THIS STUPID THREAD !!!
Still dangerous but this is a huge loss for the Thunder ibaka is their third best player and recks havoc on defense
Talk about giving locker room material to the opposition.
Come on kids, use your brains and get this out of here!!
Based gods curse is REAL

No….I think one of their fans will make a banner quoting it and give it to the team to post in their locker room!!Quote:

It's Durant v. Lebron that the NBA want. Not Ibaka v. Lebron won't matter.
OKC will try to "win one for the Ibaka".
They will try to use this as motivation. I'm still concerned about the first two games, which I believe we really really need to win.
This sucks. As a fan of basketball and a Spurs fan, I want these two teams going at each other full strength. To get anything less than that really sucks.
Serge Ibaka was the only rim protector the Thunder have. These will still be fun, entertaining games, but the Thunder's title chances just went to zero.
prolly.Quote:

Is Sefalosha still guarding Parker? If so, we need to rethink the premature coronation of spurs as WC champs.
Doesn't mean jack, games still have to be played. If anything all this did was give the Spurs even match, don't think the Thunder are just going to lie down. Cross your fucking fingers Parker doesn't go down as well.
5 on 8 is a tough thing to overcome.Quote:

This thread is prime for an epic meltdown if we lose.
You just knew some IDIOT would make a thread like this.
Soon as I saw Abaka go down last night all I could think was I hope da nigga out for the season. Can't believe CP0 did the Spurs a solid and got that shit done!
and there goes all the good karma the Spurs had going into the series...this thread is destined to get bumped for years to come.
got to admit, this makes me happy. I don't care how, I want spurs to get #5 so fucking bad. If Holt has to make some deals to remove Ibaka and Wade or Bosh, that is totally fine with me
Spursfan still sounds scared imo :lol
Doesn't this guy have a third leg??????
No excuses I wanted them at full strength but it is what it is
Can't believe Spurs fans are pissed Abaka is out. That nigga completely disrupts the Spurs offense and makes them look like Games 1-4 and 6 in the Dallas series. About the only thing I'm sad for is that we won't get to see australopithecus miss another putback at the buzzer tbh
It's interesting because Serge is OKC's small-ball center. I don't think they'll be as comfortable going small if Perkins or Adams is the only big to protect the paint from Parker's drives.
Also, Tiago needs to be a force offensively along with Diaw. No way the Spurs win if their bigs can't dominate OKC's now.
Cause it was just gonna be peaches otherwise?Quote:

Still will be a very difficult series. Perkins, Collison and Adams still gives them 3 nice bigs to play. And I'm sure they will tinker w thabeet clogging the middle. Place Durant and Westbrook on any other team and that team will be alot to handle.
Still think this series goes 7 just a little more confident now lol
Yeah, like Ibaka has been the catalyst behind the Thunder's success. Wake me when Durant goes down. Otherwise, this isn't news worthy
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Agreed, this is bitter sweet to me. Here in southwest Missouri, most nba watchers are bandwagon okc fans and I'd like to be able to say the spurs beat em/lost to em at full strength. They are obnoxious. These idiots down here are relentless. I have a huge spurs logo on the back window of my car. Please oh please San Antonio take this series and run! Run!!!!!!!Quote:

Don't be ridiculous, thunder now down their third best player and best interior presence. This tips the scale in the spurs favor. Hardly a toss up, but not necessarily a guaranteeQuote:

All true. But being happy one starter is out /=/ taking the team for granted. Who knows how this series will turn out. But neither of those guys can hit a jump shot, and considering that's what the Spurs defense is designed to give up, not having Ibaka's jump shot out there is an undeniable plus for the Spurs. It will hurt the Thunder's spacing, and takes away the one guy that can run the pick and pop for the Thunder, meaning our bigs will be able to cheat a bit more to take away the penetration. This is a big loss in the series for the Thunder, any way you shake it.Quote:

"Somebody tel serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life. Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That’s a promise. He doin 2 much"
you mean last game... one game and a full series are different worlds.... there are no guarantees, but matchup-wise, Abaka being out is a positive for the Spurs at many levels.Quote:

I told you guys he rupture his calf muscle. I have seen so many sports injury in person and on tv, you know what happen the moment you see it.
Karmas a bitch and it paid that bitch ibaka a visit this year.
Actually, I think this means that OC thinks they can take San Antonio without him, and they are trying to get him ready for the finals.
Last year Parker got a grade 2 hamstring strain in the 3rd game…had a few days off and then scored 26 or so points, but then when the games started going to every other day, his recovery time was less and he became less and less effective.
This year Ibaka gets a Grade 2 calf strain and he is out for….how long? If they can string this thing out and have it go to a long series and then win, there would be a much better chance of him playing against the winner of the EC (who I assume will be the Heat).
Odd to me that Parker played on his Grade 2 strain but Ibaka isn't. Doesn't quite square with all the folks here who say Parker is a wimp and/or a guy who makes up his injuries or (my personal favorite) that "it wasn't much of a strain - he just played poorly and blamed it on that".

Actually, Adams blocks shots as good or better than Ibaka.Quote:

Don't forget OKC caught up and won the deciding game last night without Ibaka.
