We get it... they lost a great defender... Didn't hear a peep about our injuries when we lost to OKC 3 outta 4 times this year..
*Media*
We actually won because Scott Brooks turned game 1 into a preseason game. Had he kept his standard lineups OKC woulda fared better. Most likely Okc lineups will go back to the norm with always a Collison o Adams in there to match up.
this small ball is degenerative to both teams and if continues... we both gonna get mauled by the Heat in the Finals
wow. I had no idea Ibaka was the greatest defender in the history of the league
Well * time it's 99 all over again
If Marc Gasol, the 2013 dpoy looked silly against the Spurs last year. What the can Ibaka do against a more potent Spurs offense this year?
lol @ people still living in 2012
Yeah we heard about injuries a lot when they talk about our record with them in the regular season. Get it now?
i listened to Oklahoma radio for about 10 mins this morning and you'd think ibaka was lebron
WTF cares?
I want to win the championship.
Nobody will remember or care how SA won their 5th ring in 6 tries at the Finals.
Do we remember if Chicago caught a break some time during one of their runs to a ring? No, all we know is they won 6 rings.
The wrong guy on okc got the mvp trophy
Thunder & Laker fans will remember. , Dallas fans remember that Dirk was injured in 03, Suns fans remember that Amar'e was suspended for game 5
The fans of all the other 30 teams will not remember when they look and see that the Spurs of 10-20 years ago won 5-6 rings. History will show that the Spurs won a ton of championships, and they will not have to read any asterrisks when they see those championships
who cares if they give us an *. I'll be like, 5 *'s !
my point
how bout the media ask some questions to scott brooks instead like wtf were you gonna do if ibaka went out and all you had as contingency was adams and collison? i mean cmon, you think the spurs are 9+ capable players deep just for the heck of it? if one of our starting bigs were out we'd still have diaw to throw at the gap before resorting to our adams and collisons of the 3rd string (ayers, baynes, bonner) and even then we could throw a more capable small ball lineup with leonard at the 4 that's actually seen some mins together consistently in that alt lineup.
brooks/okc fo completely left themselves open for this, stood around and didn't develop diamonds in the rough, didn't tinker with alt lineups all reg season, didn't get enough depth in the offseason or from the harden trade.
what were you gonna do scott? okc is so in thin, you think you can play a dynamic duo 30-40 min a night for 82 games and a 2 month long playoff? develop some bench players and gems, develop some alt lineups for certain situations, or maybe get more solid parts back for the solid piece you had to trade (harden)
Asterisk me up.
It is a devastating loss for them though. Not everything is about the media 'hating' the Spurs tbh.
Spurs could've still won the series with Abaka but it wouldn't be as easy as it was with 185 lb Durant playing center.

Smith was fouled!
A lot of people still anticipate that Adams, the ol' sport, will come through and show against the Spurs what he did against the Clippers & Grizzlies
They did not have Baynes..
When another refernce to ibaka is made, a spurs player needs to come out and say, "we've had our share of injuries to major players in the past, including last years finals, and nobody ever cared."
Yesterday it was: "Adams is a future HOF."
Today it's: "We miss Abaka."
as long as we shove another LOBT in our case, i'm fine with that
