Are the Spurs tired?

[tlongII]

It looks like they are wearing down.

[Fpoonsie]

Not as tired as your threads.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I worry about this myself


They definitely looked slow at times last night

[Budkin]

Seriously, have any stars played less minutes than Duncan, Manu and Tony? If they actually are tired at this stage, they need to retire

Of course they aren't, and obvious troll is obvious, but still

Tim and Manu may be.

Oh tlong...how about those Beavs? 2-1!

[Duncan2177]

Spurs are old

[ploto]

It is noticeable that many starters on other teams are capable of playing more minutes without wearing down.

looks like the were more complacent than tired

Well Tim's performances have been on a downward trend since the Clippers series.

Perkins is basicly the best low post defender right now in the whole league, and you always have to care about Ibaka coming from the weak-side.
This frontcourt made the Gasol-Bynum tandem look worse than the Biyombo-Mullens frontcourt..

I would argue that complacent is even worse.

I would say they just didn't match the Thunder's energy early and couldn't get it going after that. If it goes seven and the Thunder keep running like last night, it might be an issue.

Atleast someone realize Perkins being the best low post defender I knew it was just a matter of time before the physicality of Perkins got to him. Each game that goes by he shoots at a lower percentage.
OKC IN 6 OR 7

Thabo Sefolosha was simply too much for parker to deal with to drive it and pass it for the best shot selection. Defense wins championship, everybody knows defensively Thunder are a far superior team.

OKC is a good team, the Spurs can't simply sweep them. OKC played a shortened rotation with Durant, Harden and Westbrook playing heavy minutes in game 3, while no Spurs player logged more than 25 min in that game. Logically being 0:2 OKC had no other option but to throw everything they have to save the season, but in game 4 they will be tired and the Spurs will be very aggressive to try take a commanding 3:1 lead.

They will be tired . Ibaka, Durant, Westbrook and Harden are 23 years old or younger. They won't get tired especially Westbrook he can play full 48 minutes but I'm not why brooks doesn't do so if rondo can do it. Only person I could see getting tired is Perkins but he only played like 23 minutes.

I agree OKC's frontcourt's post defense is much better than what the Spurs have encountered so far.

[racm]

More complacent than gassed, yes.
