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.
The amount of shit talking that will happen here, if we lose, will be too damn high.
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.
The Spurs still have to play D and guard Westbrook, Durant, and Jackson (who will be their wildcard).
The games and series will still be close!
FUCK THIS THREAD.
LOL wanting to play the opposition full healthy. Injuries are always a huge part of the playoffs. Besides, who the fuck knows how much Parker will be able to do?
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.
Just means the refs have to work a little overtime to get the nba their dream matchup.
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.
