Adjustments by Scott Brooks for Game 6 (Sefolosha for Perkins)

[BillMc]

I don't know how the rest of the roster will shake out, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brooks puts Ibaka on Duncan in Game 6 to keep him near the rim. Timmy's midrange hasn't been falling this year.

And yet if you read the above and think about it, there are many issues with that strategy. Like the regular 1-5 pick and roll. Westbrook on Duncan? Ibaka pulled from the paint or gives up Parker mid-range jumpers all night?

He has to get Lamb more minutes at home.

We can play Bonner/Diaw against Perkins/Ibaka suck on that OKC!

As far as the OP, Perkins and Sefolosha both suck. Matter of fact OKC has about 12 guys that suck, 3 guys that don't. Anyone else notice that?

Scotty's playground.
Role players are given the chance to really suck in his "system".

Wouldn't be surprised to see Safalosha, Lamb, or Butler starting for Jackson. Their bench has been puke and Brooks would be an idiot to play KD/WB for ~22 minutes in the first half again, they've been gassed.

If our bench shows up, this will be over tonight, IMO.

Here's OKC's adjustment:Westbrook charging recklessly into the paint time and again at full speed and getting to the line over and over and over until finally someone steps to the side and RW dunks, then acts like he just won the NCAA championship. A side attraction will be Durant shooting 3's and also getting to the line on phantom fouls.That's it and that's all. If Ibaka offers up some offense, that's a bonus.

Lol perfect summary of okc's game

[T Park]

Brooks should put Ibaka on Duncan so that Ibaka can still block shots and help.

Put Perkins on Bonner to dare Bonner to drive the ball.

Ibaka doesn't have the lower body to hang with Duncan. Plus Duncan would just step out to 15 feet pulling him away. Pretty simple.

Lakers aren't playing this series, nba forum is elsewhere...

Sefolosha starting just starts the problems all over again.

Changing who starts at te two does nothing.

Also, Jackson clearly in the second quarter on was effected by that ankle.

Agreed although I doubt you'll see Sefolosha again in this series. I can see him starting Butler and bringing Jackson off the bench.

Good points, Perry.

AS long as there is only one big in the paint we're fine. We stay confident and aggressive it won't matter what they adjust. Also let crybaby and westbrick get theirs it take the others out of the game and as we've seen in game 1,2 and 5 they get tired out that way.
