We go as far as Boban wants to take us.
Game 1: 10 minutes 3-5 including a Boban power dunk. Good job on D.
Game 2: Pock held him out until very late. Still got 7 minutes in garbage time. Looked fine.
Acceptable. Pop will not be hunted down at this time.

Bring it on.
If the Spurs are somehow able to use this time off to teach him how to run the PnR (and how to set a pick in general), then he might see more than token minutes. On the defensive end, the other teams are still able to suck him out to where they want him to be, far to easily.
I love Bobi, but there's a lot to be said for experience, and having seen it all before. Especially in the playoffs. Ibaka has pretty much seen it all. This is Kanter's 5th year, and his development is light years from his first season (which is where Boban is). I think Boban will get the best of Adams, and get him into foul trouble. That, in and of itself, would be a big success.
All the talk about stalking a public figure? Not wise, but I guess that's your business. I don't want anything to do with that kind of talk.
^^ The very 1st play when he came in one of the Grizzleys games. Set very nice pic, rolled and did the nifty banker while getting hacked for the 2+1.
As to his D, yes he can improve, but how many times has Tim Duncan been butt fried this season? LMA? I've seen DWest get fried a few times. It happens in any NBA game. The notion that Boban is a sieve is just wrong. (You did not call him that)
Experience is good, yes. The notion that rookies cannot contribute and therefore must be benched is loserville hardheadedness.
Bring it on.
I know that Danny is just trying to get back into position to shoot a three, but it really looks like he's backing away in awe of Boban.
He's getting older, and young bigs are able to get the best of Tim, at times, who never could have a few years ago. But I don't know that there has ever been at time when Tim didn't know where to be on the floor. It's been clear that Boban just doesn't know where to be at times. That's a huge difference. If for no other reason than Tim can get help from other players. Boban gets stuck out in No-Man's-Land, and the Spurs defense is just playing 4-on-5 when that happens. I really do like the guy, but I'm not going to let that blind me to what I see.
I thought the same thing when he came into that first Griz game. Even commented that it looked like they had worked with him in the break. If they've done more of that between rounds, it will help. But whatever he shows (if Pop plays him), the Thunder will figure out in the first film session. If Ibaka and Kanter are beating the Spurs up in the middle, Pop may not have any choice but to try Boban, so I won't say it can't happen. But he's in pretty much the same place as any rookie big fresh out of college. It's just not fair to expect too much.
Boban can improve...........
Boban will dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Handle the business at home; and then throw Boban into the mix in OKC and catch 'em a bit off guard.
That's actually a uva idea, IMO. If he's at his best, he could do a lot to quiet that crowd.
Boban Marjanovic dunks on Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams, and the entire Thunder organization!
Bring it on.
"Run for your lives!"
Top 10 post of the year.
The thing that strikes me so much about that dunk scene is just how many times Boban was fouled on that play, and none of them were called.
"he runs funny. His career will be over any minute now" - spursfan
That's why it's up to him to make the officials adjust to him. Next year, maybe even the POs but doubt it, he needs to come out like Shaq and just bully guys, even if the refs calls fouls early in the season. Eventually they will adapt to his physical play. Then, THEN when they've adjusted, he can break out the finesse he possesses. It's a lose the battle win the war approach.
Again I ask people here: do you trust Boban to be in the game while Westbrook and/or KD are in? How do you think he'd fare in PnR situations with those two?
I have no doubts that Boban is a legitimate NBA player, but I do doubt how much he could contribute in a series like this one where the other team is going to have an elite PnR player for nearly the entire game. If Donovan is dumb enough to sit both Westbrook and KD at the same time, sure, give Boban some minutes. But if either of those guys are out there, I feel like Boban would just get completely exploited in the PnR.
Low IQ posters.
Everything here applies to West as well, though..
Low IQ posters.
"Low IQ posters" with an emoji. What the does that even mean? If you have an opinion, say it. Disagree with someone - say why.
Why are you even here, other than having a place to say nasty to people anonymously? You clearly don't want to go someplace like 4chan, where that's mostly all they do. So obviously you enjoy ing up legitimate discussions more. You need professional help every bit as badly as UNT did.
And then some... Kanter can work West without the help of the PnR
tbh
As already noted, how much better will West be. For that matter have you checked Timmy Duncs lateral movement lately.
For OKC, how are YOU going to defend the Boban near the rim?
See .gif again.
I would be okay giving Boban an extended role in this series, fact is, he causes some serious match up issues for the Thunder. They are no closer to being able to defend him than he is of being able to defend Westbrook on a switch.
I doubt he will play ...
