In the regular season? Not so bad.
we are talking about 45 year old Derek Fisher coming into your arena and taking a on your players.
Jeremy Lamb, this scrub would shine shoes vs another team. Yet Spurs make him look like the next coming of Shane Battier
Ibaka is a decent big, no doubt. But Spurs make him look like a hybrid of Hakeem, Jordan and Dikembe Mutombo on steroids. Ibaka vs. the Spurs makes prime Mutombo look like just another african selling CDs in a street corner
and last but not least Reggie Jackson. The dear old Spurs make this damn scrub look like Isaiah Thomas![]()
and this happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. What makes you think it would be any different in the playoffs??
and we are not even considering a healthy Westbrook in the picture
how do you guys feel about that?
In the regular season? Not so bad.
and don't forget in 2011 Ibaka and Fisher did look like allstars vs us. In the playoffs.
yea, cause Perkins and Ibaka didn't already rape the Spurs in the playoffs already....
Come on man this has been the case the past few seasons and the playoffs in 2012. It's significant no matter how you spin it
Well, 2011 is 2011. Both teams aren't the same.
2012 was more us choking, and the refs than them beating us. And Harden.
Both teams are different, so that comparison shouldn't be made.
Umm mostly cause Pop always tries to eliminate the strongest links in other teams that's why all those scrubs have gr8 nite vs us.
Right now, the Spurs don't look like le contenders. Like this, they'd be lucky to have dark horse status.
Still a long ways to go, though.
Disagree. Both teams play at same style and speed. Both teams have same pimary core. And Spurs still have the same matchup disadvantage.
we are talking about Derek Fisher, Ibaka, Jackson and Lamb coming in and bending the Spurs over. Sure I'm happy if Durant and Westbrook do it. But it Fisher/Ibaka/Lamb and Jackson do it, it's pretty pathetic imo
and ppl can't say it hasn't happened in the playoffs before
Durant + Westbrook are averaging 46 pts a game vs. the Spurs. Is that your definition of "eliminate"?
Good they are under their average![]()
reduced to a cheerleader = Bolivian Ferrari
"Thunder by double digits"![]()
"Manu bullied Durant and was responsible for his 11 turnovers"
Manu rewriting history per par
Who posted that??? link?
Bolivian Ferrari making up to try to save face

dude the spurs are banged up so what do you expect
Reggie Jackson 27pts and OKC wins by 6. My prediction was not only close. It was the closest prediction made of that game in here
butthurt CoMer
not it wasn't...
where's that link from "manu ", Bolivian Ferrari can't find it?![]()
prediction was OKC stomping and result was OKC stomping. Prediction successful
Manu rewriting history once again![]()
Speaking specifically to the Reggie Jackson issue, as I have mentioned elsewhere and some others have begun to bring up as well, our defense is DESIGNED to let scrubs like that go off on us. I continually watch our guards get screened HARD off opposing pgs, so that they only way they can avoid a foul call is to go around the screener. At that point, though rather than switching off temporarily to let our guard get back into the defensive picture, our bigs back down toward the basket, literally begging the opposing guard (or 3 or whoever it is) to shoot the midrange jumper over them.
And guess what? THEY DO!!!
Our players are doing exactly what the coaching staff is telling them to do and the rest of the league has essentially figured it out. Elite teams like OKC havenot only figured it out burt incorporate it into their game plan.
That's how I feel about it.
i feel you shouldn't be allowed to talk after you've been hyping belinelli's D for months.
