We see a return of Thunderef tonight and our lack of rebounding bigs is exposed. Thunder victory, but a lot of lessons learned and a lot of hope for spurs fans.

Aldridge draws tons of fouls tbh.

Right.. and whose gonna grab the boards for the other 20 minutes?

35 year old 6'9" West? 6'8" Diaw? Bonner?

If Boban cant make an impact this season im gonna be worried.

2012 TP was great, tbh... wish Scotty would've never figured out to put Thabo on him in the WCFs... I think we could've gone all the way...

even with that we could have won...

dat game 6 :rolleyes only TP, TD and SJax came to play this game... those 3 scored 77 pts of the Spurs 99 while kawhi, manu, neal and bobo went full MIA... difficult to win at 3 vs. 5... we lost despite 12 assists of TP, 14 rebounds of Tim and 6 3s of Jax... unbelievable

Starting Bonner in games 4-6 was key to the 2014 series. For one reason or another, Bonner kept Ibaka out of the paint. Strange considering that fucker hasn't made a trey in the past 4 years. He's like a Pro Wrestler in that regard.

Both his effectiveness (pulling Ibaka out of the paint) and his ineffectiveness (never making an important shot) you mention are spot on. I can only think the reason it works was Scotty Brooks was an idiot?

I've been waiting far too long for tonight's game. I hate the offseason. I'm guessing it will take till December for everyone to gel but who knows. I wouldn't mind seeing David West knock Serge Ibaka on his ass to start the season off. I'm predicting an easy win for the good guys tonight.

:bobo Here is to a new season, no injuries, and hopefully we are still making game threads through the middle of June. :flag::flag:
