When your team depends on you to score and you hang out on the perimeter, don't demand the ball, and force horrible shots in the clutch...you kinda suck .
OKC killed the Duds in transition & by attacking the opposing point-guard something that doesn't happen to be part of the Spurs repertoire.

Have you seen them switch off on Curry so many times? Ibaka on Curry on the perimeter? Adams getting rebounds like a big kid at the YMCA?
An actual point guard that can score whenever he wants?
LOL....theres no comparison.
The Spurs have the best defensive wing tandem in the NBA. Look what they did to OKC's offense and what OKC's offense is doing to GS who's been a very good defensive team all year.
OKC switching on GS was something SA really did vs GS in the regular season and had success. Spurs had a good formula. It would have been different and I agree OKC is matching up well because their bigs have mobility SA's bigs don't have, but SA matches up well with both primarily because of Kawhi/Danny.
Spurs wouldn't have been able to do this against the Dubs tbh...
...Yep, Mugs, you're too decrepit.
WTF, TNT just showed an Asian OKC fan
Must be a former GSW fan
See my other post. You can't see this because OKC is playing so well (way better than they really are, not a knock, just true.) and because SA lost. But many things OKC is doing are what SA did with success against GS in the regular season.
The bigs are the difference maker tbh. Adams/Ibaka and even Durant can protect the rim without the huge mobility issue that Timmy would have....
KD/Russ are also great tough shot makers, Draymond can't really guard either...which is huge....
No, they would not have been as potent offensively - no way. But I'm talking about defensively and matching up. Spurs may not have caught fire like this offensively, but they probably would be in every game, just like OKC.
This is just revisionist history. Did he have some short comings? Sure, in the 4th Q's he struggled. That doesn't erase the other 3 quarters of efficient solid scoring.
Kerr is salty as at the press conference, I can just taste his tears...mmm..![]()
Westbrook easily best player this series.His 3rd quarter in game one ignited that win,and he has anhilated Curry and the Warriors the last 2 games
Metheads are just playing good old fashioned 90's Bully Ball using bigs to lay down the wood against Warriors got 3 points chucking style oftoday's NBA.
And you can't compare reg season with playoff ball on a 1-to-1 basis.
No way a team with parker/mills at pg defends and scores the way westgod is. That alone makes the matchups uncomparable. Duncan looked finished for months coming into the playoffs. Adams is straight gangsta. It's just not comparable.
He finished 2nd in MVP voting, I think I'm allowed to raise the bar from 3 quarters to 4.
Spurs would have swept the Dubs, tbh.
Warriors just have to win game 6 in OKC. They ain't losing another game at Oracle.
