God, I'm like SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad someone FINALLY made an Ibaka injury thread. I've been DYING to talk all about this!!
Thunder have an unfair advantage with the refs to begin with, so this really helps to level the playing field. If Spurs could play Thunder straight up with a healthy Ibaka and unbiased officiating, it would be Spurs in 6, without question.

I don't believe you.![]()
Shut up about the refs u pansy
Oh you're one of those dumb guys, huh?
The referees didn't get injured. If they want to call the game favorably for the Thunder because of some bias or directive or both, they will. There's no escape from having zebras on the court.
I think they'd be more inclined to call an even series now that the Thunder would be much less compe ive vs the Heat without Ibaka. NBA still could have had Durant vs Lebron last year, but without Westbrook it would have been a beatdown, so all of a sudden the refs start calling thunder games squarely and they fall in the 2nd round last year. What a surprise![]()
Why do you think the NBA favors a OKC-Miami Finals over a SA-Miami matchup? I think the storyline of the Spurs bucking the odds, brushing off heartbreak as an older team whose window is closing, after blowing a sure championship and making one last charge to get TD's 5th ring is a much more tantalizing Finals on a national scale.
People love the underdog who defies all logic and wins the championship. The Spurs winning one year after blowing that game 6 and series would be on par with Hoosiers, Rudy, The Miracle on Ice and the Villanova NCAA championship. It would be stranger than fiction because of the fact that nobody in the world thought that was even possible, given the age of our stars, and the way last season ended.

This is so true. It's one uva story.![]()
Let's be honest, e1 may not be relevant anymore
Nobody is giving Amused enough credit tbh
Haha. e 1 reference. ameriKKKas most wanted y'all
Let's be honest, 4 threads on the front page dedicated to Ibaka. I'd say the fear level for this guy is pretty high.
Game 4 2012 WCFs 11-11
Nuff said
I'm not saying the refs would have definitely screwed the Spurs again this year against OKC like they did in 2012...but the refs sure helped OKC get this far, didn't they?
That's one game. It's not his offense, but his defense that hurts the Spurs. The Thunder won't skip a beat offensively.
Gee, I wonder who was behind this....

lol wtf
What is Ibaka's actual diagnosis, anyways? "Calf injury"? Sounds stupid
Grade 2 calf sprain
If you think the series is rigged why bother watching it?
Didn't you listen to the last round, meat head?
Pay attention, you're saying the same that he said!
Matter fact, dog here's a pencil
Go home, write some , make it suspenseful,
And don't come back until something dope hits you
it! You can take the mic home with you!
The Lakers found a way.
Grade 2 calf strain, an injury that usually requires 4-6 weeks and to heal and in some cases as long as 10 weeks.
To see if the spurs can overcome. Also, league could have just been manipulating toget the preferred conference finals and now they'll let it alone to play out naturally. Seriously, don't be so blind to what's played out before you very eyes for years. It happed in 2002 quite clearly, so you idiots think it hasn't continues since then?oooooooooooook
