when a guy goes 11-11 against you in a western conference finals game, you're going to be happy that he's out. come on

Collison and Adams are capable of putting up big numbers minus the blocked shots. Don't take teams for granted because their a man down. This is a very capable team with or without Ibaka. , the only Spur that brings it consistenty defensively is Splitter and none of the Spurs bigs are good low post scorers.

Parker's penetration is still key and there's no telling how healthy he'll really be heading into the series.

Sup ElNono!

Lol you really are a stupid mother er aren't you.

[Vic Petro]

Wasn't Patrick Beverly out of the rest of the playoffs too? And then he wasn't?

[Hoops Czar]

You're just a fake tough guy aren't you?

All true. But being happy one starter is out /=/ taking the team for granted. Who knows how this series will turn out. But neither of those guys can hit a jump shot, and considering that's what the Spurs defense is designed to give up, not having Ibaka's jump shot out there is an undeniable plus for the Spurs. It will hurt the Thunder's spacing, and takes away the one guy that can run the pick and pop for the Thunder, meaning our bigs will be able to cheat a bit more to take away the penetration. This is a big loss in the series for the Thunder, any way you shake it.

[The Reckoning]

LOL wanting to play the opposition full healthy. Injuries are always a huge part of the playoffs. Besides, who the knows how much Parker will be able to do?

spurs played better without parker last series

[Leetonidas]

His midrange jumpers will certainly not be missed by Spurfan. Spurs better capitalize on this , the stars are aligning for them once again

[DarrinS]

"Somebody tel serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life. Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That’s a promise. He doin 2 much"

[ElNono]

spurs played better without parker last series

you mean last game... one game and a full series are different worlds.... there are no guarantees, but matchup-wise, Abaka being out is a positive for the Spurs at many levels.

[rascal]

Karma for this thread would have a key Spur player go down to injury to balance things out. But no such thing as Karma.

Somebody lock this thread please or edit the OP

geez

parker needs to take the time to find some more placentas to eat if he expects to make a positive impact.


him being out frees up the sleeping giant in kawhi

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I told you guys he rupture his calf muscle. I have seen so many sports injury in person and on tv, you know what happen the moment you see it.

Karmas a and it paid that ibaka a visit this year.

Actually, I think this means that OC thinks they can take San Antonio without him, and they are trying to get him ready for the finals.

Last year Parker got a grade 2 hamstring strain in the 3rd game…had a few days off and then scored 26 or so points, but then when the games started going to every other day, his recovery time was less and he became less and less effective.

This year Ibaka gets a Grade 2 calf strain and he is out for….how long? If they can string this thing out and have it go to a long series and then win, there would be a much better chance of him playing against the winner of the EC (who I assume will be the Heat).

Odd to me that Parker played on his Grade 2 strain but Ibaka isn't. Doesn't quite square with all the folks here who say Parker is a wimp and/or a guy who makes up his injuries or (my personal favorite) that "it wasn't much of a strain - he just played poorly and blamed it on that".

Presti said in a conference call with reporters that Ibaka is unlikely to return even if the Thunder make it past the Spurs.

The 6-foot-10 power forward underwent an MRI on Friday after suffering the injury in the third quarter of Thursday night's win.

It's ok, god took all the Spurs bad karma and put it on you son

[WaywardTexan]

It would help me assess Abaka's prognosis if I knew whether or not he were about this life.

Does anyone know where I could find this out?

[Russ]

Collison and Adams are capable of putting up big numbers minus the blocked shots.

Actually, Adams blocks shots as good or better than Ibaka.

Ibaka averages 2.23 blocks in 34 minutes/game (and he's best in the league).

Adams averages 1.42 blocks in 16 minutes/game (even better).

Don't forget OKC caught up and won the deciding game last night without Ibaka.

gave you recognition in the other thread, you called it early on and nailed it.

[spurspokesman]

Sucks. Would like to go toe to toe and win without excuses. Okc can still win tho but things got easier for us.
