LOL nothing without Ibaka. They are still the 2nd best team in the West without Ibaka, and they proved it yesterday.
Adams not going to kill us with mid range jumpers doe

Re: The Thunder are nothing without Ibaka
So who here is starting on Monday and who here is coming off the bench? I just wonder, because most of you talk like you're actually on the fucking team.

i typically agree that its cliche to say we and that it's kinda a pet peeve of mine even though i catch myself doing it often.
but i was playing devils advocate and i think if its the san antonio spurs and you live in san antonio, you can say we, semantic-wise. but i know it bothers you, 2nd time i think i've seen you call this out recently.

It doesn't bother me to see someone say "we" when referring to their team. It's annoying to see them act like they have to do something to prepare for the game however, or congratulate each other on the win or say "thanks" when a fan of the opponent congratulates them on their team's win. I mean, what did you do where that congratulations would have anything to do with you?
Re: The Thunder are nothing without Ibaka
In any case Ibaka is more of a problem for the Spurs than say, Westbrook.
Re: The Thunder are nothing without Ibaka
To say the Thunder are "nothing" without Ibaka is a misnomer. They're still a capable team, but I think the loss of Ibaka and us having home court might prove to be too much for OKC to beat.
Also :lol at the people who think Steven Adams will be the x-factor in this series. I can see him having a great game in the typical scrubs vs. Spurs matchup, but no way will he even come close to what Ibaka does, offensively or defensively.

Guys stop looking past OKC they can still beat us :( We have to stay focused :(
As if the Spurs fanbase's focus has any effect on the games. Guess I should stop drinking before/during games so that our players are sober and at their best.
Re: The Thunder are nothing without Ibaka
wow, both these sigs on one page.
This is great.
:toast

Funny because the Spurs didn't look like the best team in the league against Dallas, but I digress.

good point. He might as well be Kenyon Martin, Duncans going hard at him if matched up. Adams has a high foul rate too.

Hey noob, I was responding to someone else's post. Your whimsical retort has much to do about nothing and when taken in context to the original post, doesn't make a lick of sense. Try to keep up.

We were talking about the Almighty Thunder, Spurs already blew it to an 8th seed in the past.

solid standpoint. I see that angle too. I'll do it subconsciously sometimes and catch myself later on like: wait, what did I do to be included in we?
Re: The Thunder are nothing without Ibaka
Splitter goes into pussy mode, TD settles for tough shots, Parker struggles as well with Ibaka on the floor, this is a huge loss for them, Splitter may actually play well.
That's just defensively, offensively take away his insanely efficient jumpers as well, force others to make shots. This also affects their spacing, that could really hurt WB who loves barreling into the paint like a retard
