NBA: Like I said before

tbh

another thing is I don't think the Spurs can play at OKC's frenetic pace...it feeds into the out of control game they thrive in tbh. Playing a more half court game and limiting their fast break points would do wonders....of course, we gotta limit unforced turnovers...hopefully pop has something up his sleeve to counter the Thunder tbh

well, if the spurs are at home, they can go through stretches playing at an elevated pace if they're in a good rhythm, but it should be avoided as much as possible

Damn, Big Dog called it, tbh..

This is truly special..it's rare to be in the group of posters that combine elite trolling with top-tier basketball knowledge, especially at such an early stage of a career, but he's definitely in the discussion, tbh..

+ a good winner to add.

a guy giving a homer take that gets bumped after a win is a genius? i'll keep that in mind

4 regular season games to make adjustments and neither of them worked for Pop and the Spurs whether Westbrook was in or out for the Thunder. San Antone still had double-digit leads in the first half. They had a 19-game winning form in their pocket. None of it mattered anyway when the Thunder turned it on in the third. I'm not saying the Thunder will have it easy, because an OKC v SAS WCF series will be a war, but right now I just don't see San Antonio coming out as the victors.

There were actually some positive, subtle adjustments Pop did today that I think will pay off in an eventual series...

Ibaka wants to block everything and jumps all over the place. They need to exploit his over aggressiveness by stopping mid drive and up fake when he switched off to the guard on the pnr, or stop a few feet from the basket when hes helping from the weak side D.

They play right into his shot blocking when they go all the way to the hole because he knows exactly where to meet the ball at the glass.


They also need to back door the over aggressiveness on the perimeter and get to the free through line area and attack the D from there. Cant be consistently effective going all the way to the hole against this team.

We're just better than the Spurs. In fact, we're better than most teams. And that's WITHOUT Russ. I feel sorry for NBA teams and fans all across the league.

As long as Duncan doesn't ring.

A team led by a lifelong loser in DurACNE will never win a le. Let us proceed.
