I also don't think Pop didn't want to show too much this game with strategy.... while we know OKC is dangerous... don't let this game factor in what will happen in playoffs.
really a small sample size tbh... I think Spurs are too good of a team to just surrender white flag on OKC and call it a year. Obviously with HCA, this series is going 6 or 7. Adjustments will be made, and Spurs should be a slight favorite even with all their "athleticism"

I doubt any of us thought that to begin with. Had the Spurs won this game, footage from this game would have done much good. They know each other well since the 2012 playoffs so adjustments will be made. I am somewhat happy that we have someone on the bench that can match Durants length and more importantly have 6 fouls to throw at him. I'm referring to Austin Day of course.. Still have no idea how he got hurt. :/
Nope. In order to be the best, you need to beat the best. Bring on OKC in the WCF's. Unless you're into asterisks of course. Then, the Clippers would be a fine match up.
Well, I guess that means like 75% of the champions in NBA history have asterisks next to them..
This one won't because the Clippers won't beat the Thunder in a seven game series.
Reggie Jackson is the ugliest mofo I've ever seen.. thats reason enough to root for the clippers imo
Okc getting owned loving it
If the Clippers play like this, the Spurs aren't beating them either. Not sure why everybody's jumping for joy. It's pick your poison, tbh.
worst case scenario, I can root for the clips in the finals. Cant do that with the thunder
If that's worst case scenarion, I'll skip the finals altogether.
The Thunder, Rockets and Blazers are all far worse matchups for the Spurs than the Clippers, tbh..those 3 teams all have multiple strengths that attack the Spurs' primary weaknesses(pick&roll attack that makes Duncan a liability, long defender that can guard Parker, stretch bigs)..
disagree with the premise of this thread. Spurs have always eliminated Paul. Like the saying goes Everytime the bucket a-go-a-well... IMO this year is most possibly the year Paul get his revenge on his nemesis the Spurs.
On the other hand, the Spurs have a LOT of disdain and bad blood with OKC, given they backdoored us less than 2 years ago. The Spurs would give it their 110% in that series. and the way OKC is struggling, I take the struggling team over America's Sweetheart.
Go Thunder.
that being said, the Blazers could possibly make either of those 2 series unlikely... time to concentrate on the current series
the Spurs love matchups against teams that play 2 bigs, and the Clippers do that quite a bit. the spurs look different when Splitter is actually relevant, and he'd have that opportunity against the Clippers more so than against the Thunder.
I don't know how there are still so many Spurs fans that deny OKC's dominance over the Spurs, tbh..
Duncan sucks against OKC, too, tbh..
Because they won't play like this. They're almost certainly not even going to beat OKC, but they certainly wouldn't beat the Spurs. OKC has a lot of talented players, but they sorely lack the defensive talent the Spurs have. They definitely lack the defensive discipline the Spurs have. Even so, Paul will not run free later in the series (although I obviously hope he does).
I'm not scared of the Clippers at all. The Spurs are a horrible match-up for them, despite what Barkley thinks.
Not getting ahead of ourselves, but Spurs match up well vs the Slipps...and so does Portland to a lesser extent.
At some point, the refs and/or the league will tilt things to the thunder's favor against the clips. They'll probably decide to suspend Griffin because he farted in Durant's general direction.
TP sees Siphilis (or whatever his name is) and literally s himself.
never seen a fanbase so scared of a team like spursfan of okc tbh
Meh, not really.
