NO PERKINS = NO PROBLEM
The mere fact that Oklahoma has to change their line up tells you that they're becoming desperate. This shows weakness and the Spurs will eat it up.
He was out of rhythm. Duncan is not going to force up shots and break the rhythm of the offense to try and get his.. He didn't do that in his MVP days... If OKC goes small he will kill them...

funny. okc needs to adjust to SA's play, not the other way around.
After seeing him go 2-11, OKC's smart move would be to dare him to beat them.
With that line up, Diaw will be guarding Sefolosha, the stationary outside shooter -with tendency to sag more to the paint helping in defense rebounding, while Kawhi/Jax will still be tasked to guard Durant.
And if he can't Spurs still have tons of weapons... The days of Tim needing 25 to win a playoff game are gone...
Ibaka is just as bad as Perkins defending the pick and roll... As a matter of fact, they gave Danny at least 2 wide open looks he couldn't knock down, or nobody would be talking how that small lineup "worked"... Spurs simply need to be more savvy with the fouling. That small lineup was more successful simply because they were shooting freebies at the other end on almost every other possession.
Oh and TD was 2-11 mostly because Perkins was checking him. When Perk sat, TD only missed 2 jumpers and basically got himself to the line. In addition, he collected two huge offensive rebounds right at the end.
See above post.
Parker will probably go for 50+
I initially found the subject line to be kind of humorous. The Spurs have lost 2 games in the last 14 years and now all of a sudden we're talking about them potentially being in "big trouble".
They can't beat you inside with frontcourt players, but I still contend that our offense isn't really the issue in this series..it's SA's offense, and our inability to stop it. LIke I said in another post, our top 3 guys went for 88 pts on 56% shooting last game. Horrible shooting from the supporting cast, but if those guys play even mediocre offensively, you've got yourself a very nice offensive game at probably 120+ pts.
Oh I really hope Scotty Brooks thinks so too.
The problem is whatever the Thunder miss with Perkins out, the Spurs will use that to their advantage and beat on the Thunder through that. So we'll just have to see how the Spurs combat whatever strength the Thunder get from having Perkins on the bench
I don't think the Thunder can expect to average 110+ consistently. However, they can expect better offense at home and the Spurs will need a greater defensive effort.
90pts from big 3 and still lose????
pathetic
You realize you just insulted your own team, right?
No problem right?
Perkins was there.
Perkins played his normal minutes... our problem tonight was that 3/4 of the team didn't show up...
Finally we go to the lineup with RW, James, Thabooo, KD, and Ibaka.
Absolutely no reason Fisher should play more minutes then Thabo.
