Phew!
Bill in with the game threads...
Porker still hasn't made a shot or passed the ball yet... what a fat, selfish got he is.
At least he hasn't turned it over yet.
True, but the hamplanet also hasn't played any defense, so it's a wash.At least he hasn't turned it over yet.
OKC roster looks pretty good to me. Their best depth seems to be at the 1 and 5. Worst depth at the 2.
Adams and Kanter is a good combo. I hope Boban is ready. I know Timmy will be. After Ibaka, their talent at the 4 seems to fall off. I think Aldridge can score on Serge, but Ibaka can make it tough with his athleticism.
We'll see how ready Durant is. I expect he comes out with a lot of energy. Kawhi has had success against Durant, but it will be a tough defensive assignment for Leonard. I expect Green to see minutes guarding Westbrook. My biggest concern is Westbrook. He disrupts so much as an offensive player. Augustin is a really good backup as well.
I could see Singler getting a few minutes at the 3 for OKC.
Keys to game:
Frustrate Westbrook. He plays with passion, but it can get the best of him. Hounding defense may be the trick. Don't give Westbrook a moment of mental rest. Make him uncomfortable.
Make Durant exert energy on defense. Kawhi should take it to KD and be physical. Butler might be the best 3 off the bench if Durant is in the game and Leonard needs a breather.
No open shots for Ibaka. Guy can knock down the jumper. Gotta close out with maximum effort. Chop your steps.
Finally, don't let Kanter get going. This will be a challenge for Duncan on defense. Might even see some Boban here. 4-1 have to box out if Kanter is posting up. No second chances. No ball-watching.
Kick some butt, Spurs!

I got 137-41
I think Westbrook will get triple double against us and Durant will get 20+ free throw attempts and KL will be in foul trouble earlier....
TD and LA will be SMed by Ibaka....
TP will have many TOs and score less than 10 points I think
I'm thinking a double digit victory for OKC.
good to see BillMc get the ball rolling on the game threads.
It's time. Finally. Go Spurs!
GO SPURS!
Thanks man!Phew!

I predict Spurs 103 Thunder 99
That would be sweet. Then we break the record at home!
This was the same as last year, but no problem.
Almost 6 years since Manu swatted out that bat. Man how time flies.
Most reasonable person on this site.This was the same as last year, but no problem.
I remember that.
okc 104 sas 95... Ibaka embarrasses Aldridge with an epic block, early in the game... Aldrige might as well sit for the night. Kawhi stages off a Durant explodes in return night. Timmy near triple double rallying the offense. but Westbrook goes full great white mode on Aldrige bloodying up the water. okc maybe even finishes with 114.
