:lol media shoving Ibaka injury down our throats

In 2012 Brooks had Harden playing absolutely lights out, top form of his career basketball while Abaka had a game or two way above his head as well. Now we get to see how good or bad of a coach Brooks really is as he has to get creative to give his team a shot. The Spurs can play better small ball and can play better big ball so unless Brooks really hits on something big they'll be outmanned no matter which way they go (assuming Spurs keep playing the ball they've played since game 7 of round 1).

Nobody will remember or care how SA won their 5th ring in 6 tries at the Finals.
Do we remember if Chicago caught a break some time during one of their runs to a ring? No, all we know is they won 6 rings.

The Greatest Spur killer needs some jinx to be uneffective, I changed it last game while Fisher was suddenly Larry Bird tbh.

Thank god the injury was to Ibaka and not one of your beloved cats.

lol, it's all we're going to hear during the game commentary as well. timmy, manu, tony they've all been injured and missed games or played with injuries. no one gave a fuuuuk. so fuck you thunder and lap up the karma.

It's borderline disrespectful tbh

I don't give one single shit who's out for the Thunder or any other Spurs opponent. Not our fault that nigga Ibaka is fragile. Just like it wasn't the Grizzlies fault Manu was hurt in '11.

Anybody regretting Patrick Ewing missing the '99 Finals? NOPE

If anything Knick fans are regretting that John Starks didn't miss the '94 finals

Typical media are always going to favor the big market teams.

If you tuned into the broadcast and had not watched basketball for a few years, you would believe the Thunder lost a Wilt Chamberlain style player.

OKC is small market too.

Typical, no respect given the Spurs. So what else is new?
Most of us old timers are used to it and rarely give it a second thought.

Parker was running around like crazy. No injury excuse there.

manu scored 20.6 points a game and played 35 min a game in the 2011 playoffs. Doesn't seem like that is injured to me.

his arm got fucked up the last game and he had to wear a brace on it the entire series :lol do you watch the Spurs or are you just retarded?

Spurs have been really lucky being healthy during the playoffs for most years. parker and Duncan haven't missed any games since Duncan missed the 2000 playoffs. No other player has had a healthy run like Duncan and you can include Parker as well as the top two players healthy year after year.


Manu has been banged up but played as well as he does during the regular season or better in the so called injury year everyone likes to claim of 2011.

OK City has lost their 2nd and 3rd best players for the entire playoffs in two consecutive years, spurs have never had to deal with that.

If he was so messed up he would not have been able to put up the numbers he did. That whole thing was exaggerated by Spur fans, he was basically fine enough to play and to play as well or better than he did during the regular season.

That's because Manu is that nigga and was one of the most clutch players in the game until his injury in 2013 :downspin:

He was fine. he was running and scoring right after the so called injury. When guys are out or clearly can't play effectively then I'll give you he is injured but parker had a great game right after the so called injury.

Manu also missed game 1 of that series which became a very close loss... Battier knocking in the game sealing 3. you have to imagine the spurs would have won that game with Manu's presence, considering he was pretty much our best offensive player that season. having known that we won game 2, i would imagine that series could have gone very differently if we were up 2-0 as compared to 1-1

I just thought of that, but they have the stars like KD and Westbrook. Spurs are just such a talented, well balanced team.
