Game 5: Western Conference Finals- Thunder @ Spurs

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ibaka isn't doing . That's why the Spurs are winning.

They're running right at him on offense and he's doing nothing for OKC on the other end.

[RD2191]

Bonner D on Ibaka though, pretty solid, imo.

[ontheraise]

westbrook big mouth would have been shut down by a big hard foul in oldschool nba can't believe teams let him do his circus without making him pay

[DAF86]

when we're hitting 3s we look great, tbh... gotta keep that going

We had a lot of baskets on the paint, tbh. Attacking hard is the key. Non of that soft ass they were trying in games 3 and 4.

[texmich]

Also, you s with your "athletic black people are monkeys" bull .

lmao, I was waiting for someone to say something.

[Arcadian]

playing Sandstorm at the arena like it's 1999 again

Brilliant piece of coaching to keep a stretch 4 on the floor all the time, and put Kawhi on Westbrook. He's making some shots, but it's like the old days with Bowen on Kobe: he has to work so hard to get HIS that he isn't looking for anyone else, and that's good for us.

They are still shooting 51% and Durant has more points than Westbrook, so I wouldn't call it a wild success just yet. Also, having that Bonner line up on the floor when OKC plays one big is incredibly stupid. It led to 3 great looks, all 3's. Fisher hit one. Caron missed one and drew a 3 point foul for the other. It's definitely troublesome.

[Strategic]

ace with the nice halftime touch.

Ibaka isn't doing . That's why the Spurs are winning.

From an eye test, his post presence hasn't really altered the Spurs in the paint. That's correct.

[rascal]

I would love to have you face to face sometime.

Where do you live? bring it on.

[Beaverfuzz]

It was a 36 foot 3 pointer

And how many has he canned with the quarter ending this series? Too many.

[rascal]

This place is going to be sickening if the Spurs win.

[Crookshanks]

I won't feel sick though.....

Me neither! I will quietly clap and say thanks!

[byrontx]

I like Leonard but he goes into lazy mode. When he is snoozing he kills us.

[Horse]

A few mental mistakes but no complaints in the 2nd keep it up.

[DPG21920]

Bonner D on Ibaka though, pretty solid, imo.

It was fine, but Ibaka missed a few decent looks. But overall, the issue wasn't Ibaka on offense. It was penetration and Tim/Bonner allowed a lot of that.

[Horry Hipcheck]

More than anything else, that quarter should tell them there's no need to play scared against OKC. They can score on them, Ibaka or not.

That's the best part. The Spurs are wreaking havoc down low despite Ibaka's presence. I keep forgetting he's even in the game.

Even if they do pull it off, the thunder can easily win in 7.

For an older guy with nothing to live for, you troll well son.

Damn son, I always pick the Spurs to lose but you want them to lose. Come on man.

[RD2191]

[DAF86]

Where do you live? bring it on.

Trelew, Chubut, Argentina. Come son, is cheaper for you.

Yeah, damn fans of a team celebrating when the team wins. What a disgrace.

[Horry Hipcheck]

This. Winning tonight pretty much only guarantees a Game 7 at home. It's refreshing to see the Spurs doing what they want on offense, though.

yeah, but when you hit the 3 it opens everything else up
