it's probably best you guys don't go at it, ST can't survive 5+ pages of shemale porn again.
Spurs barely guard Ibaka on jumpers, it's so frustrating. They do the same thing against Rondo.
Ibaka will continue to go off on the Spurs if they continue to give him so much space. Even Kevin Perkins looks like a competent offensive player against the Spurs
sounds like it marked you for a lifetime, tbh
sup bro, who are you ?
Well no one went off in Obaka's mouth apparently.....damn.
Yeah watching this idiot drain open jumper after open jumper is frustrating as . But, he does seem to be pretty wide open for the most part every single time. The Spurs need to do a better job of sticking to this idiot. Just watch, next game he'll go 4/10 or something. He only seems to go into god mode against the Spurs...
i'm no alternate account, i was a lurker who joined around the time of y'alls thread, so I'm still suffering PTSD.

Tony Parker, on Ibaka's 7-for-7 start: "If Ibaka's going to knock down shots like that, there's nothing we can do."
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Parker said, given OKC's arsenal, they'll take Ibaka shooting Js. "That's the shot we're going to give up."
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
More Parker: "We don't want Durant to have 40 or Westbrook going off. If Ibaka's going to have a game like that, we can't stop everything."
Time to rethink this strategy ya think?
lols sorry bro
im probably done acting up on ST tho i was just going through a rebellious phase, the only guy i really still talk to is bene but im sure you can see why i do...the dude is probably the dumbest yet also pompous person on this site tbh. just a complete imbecile imo.
Tiago was always helping out on Durant or Westbrook ... then he was late to get back to Ibaka. If the strategy was to contain the first two, then it worked - overall it did not. If somebody is shooting that hot from distance one might realy change the strategy and see if Durant is that hot as well, i.e. not helping out.
I like how now we are calling him Abaka thanks to sjax
It was obvious Spurs were making it priority to stop Durant on the drive when running the P'n'R.Parker said, given OKC's arsenal, they'll take Ibaka shooting Js. "That's the shot we're going to give up."
When Kawai gets back i hope spurs mix it up by switching off Durant onto Ibaka.
I tend to agree there but in this case helping out had to happen. Danny Green was getting beat easily and when theré's screen look-out. Green doesn't every try to fight through them like a jackson or a Manu.
Idiot??? Yeah..he speaks 5 languages.Yeah watching this idiot drain open jumper after open jumper is frustrating as . But, he does seem to be pretty wide open for the most part every single time. The Spurs need to do a better job of sticking to this idiot. Just watch, next game he'll go 4/10 or something. He only seems to go into god mode against the Spurs...
Exactly. You don't give open shots to a good shooter. I can understand if he wasn't a good shooter. Durant can't beat you by himself but letting Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka get 20+ is a formula for losing.
"Not a bad jump shooter" means 45% on long twos. What he's done to us is freakish.
There's shooting % and shooting %. It's to be expected that a wide open, unpressured shooter will score a lot more often. Even Parker can hit a corner 3 when he gets 3 seconds to aim and everybody gives him 30ft of space.
Those averages include ALL shooting opportunities, covered and uncovered.
Exactly my point. Ibaka wide open with no pressure is probably a 65% shooter. Therefore what he is doing to the Spurs is not freakish, it's to be expected. There are players a team can leave wide open and he won't make them pay, but Ibaka isn't one of them.
The Spurs are relying too much on older, slower players and will get destroyed in the playoffs by a younger more athletic team. The Spurs will rack up enough regular season wins to have a top seed only to give their fans false hope for a le but will flame out again in the playoffs. They brought back the same team as last year so don't expect anything more then how far the spurs got last year.
It's a good idea to adjust to Ebaka jumpers, but the time to do it is early in a playoff series imo. Start closing out hard on and denying Ebaka on the perimeter and the Thunder would have to adjust in-game. Don't play all your cards during the regular season.
It was hilarious last season watching spurs fans' disbelief in Ibaka's "flukey" jump shot.
If Pop really has a counter to what the thunder do to Parker and the ibaka jumper issue, and he's waiting to use it in the playoffs, then props for the strategy......but I highly doubt it. Pop does what Pop does.
It's "Ibaka" with an "I" same as last year, according to the roster listing on espn.com. Has he changed the spelling?
