Adjustments: Should we start Manu yet; Diaw on KD?

[ElNono]

The emasculation of Splitter in Game 3 is problematic. Hopefully it's not a trend. We can't afford NBA Finals Tiago.

I'd love to see a bounce back game from him tonight.

Kawhi, Danny, and Manu are fine of Durant. Diaw's struggling to check Butler.

The biggest potential change would be to switch PnRs involving Ibaka. Don't leave him open. A good thing about Serge being back is that they aren't screening with Duncan's man as much.

Spurs are still up 2-1 and so far all anybody has done is take care of business.

[Jimmy Early]

I'm shocked that there is so much support here for a matchup of Diaw on KD. KD would have a field day on Diaw, blowing by him and scoring at will on pull ups. Leonard gives Durant more problems than anyone in the NBA, except for Tony Allen of Memphis.

[benstanfield]

The reason Diaw is good on Lebron is because you want to turn Lebron into a jump shooter. Diaw is quick enough to give Lebron the jumpshot and stay with him if he tries to bulldoze the rim.

This will not work against KD.

Spurs can beat OKC with their current lineup. No need to shake things up. Tony just needs to play a little better without the turnovers and KL needs to be more aggressive. Splitter needs to focus on rebounding. The Spurs will be fine. Ibaka's value has been greatly inflated by one win. Spurs played like crap and were still in that game.

This!

I'd like to see him shove Adams back for once.

The only thing splitter shoves is his between his legs when he sees the thunder.

no, Tiago needs to wake up and play like a man and Tony needs to play smarter. What worried me about game 3, was it almost seemed as if at times Parker and Westbrook switched spots. Parker being a ballhog and taking bad shots, while Westbrook was deferring at times (but still took plenty of bad shots). That's almost a mirror image of 2012, when Parker dominated games 1 & 2, Westbrook was being his usual dumbself, then game 3 Westbrook played less dumb, then game 4 Parker played like Westbrook and Westbrook played like Parker. We need to frustrate Westbrook by keeping Green on him, Green needs to play extended minutes for his defense, and Parker needs to play as smart as possible and sometimes just defer to build team confidence.

same lineups, just rebound and hit wide open shots this time and we'll be just fine

We've got to neutralize Ibaka. Can't let him roam on defense.
