77% of game 1 winners win series
Tony with 12 assists in slightly over 20 minutes with a very underrated good passing game, bc they were doubling him in PNR and he picked them apart. Underrated good game by Tony bc it was other guys getting hot, but he got them rolling early, specially LMA. Anyways, I do expect OKC to adjust.

If the Thunder had more than one more day to be prepared for the Spurs, then I could see a let down. The Spurs just match up so great with them now. If the Spurs win Monday, this series is over imo. We are just exposing teams until they figure out how to adjust.
Lol. Yeah...what a compe ive series. A different call here or there and the Mavs advance.
i beg to disagree Sir.....i dont think this was a fluke game
i think this is the 2016 Spurs about to reach their true potential....
but we shall see in the next games.....................
Are you serious OP?

This is going to be like the 2014 Blazers series when Terry Stotts kept playing the same coverage against the PnR.The thunder made zero adjustment on the pick and pop/roll.
It's amazing. A good team would have the proper adjustment after the first quarter. Donovan was terrible but they have a set of low iq defenders in that team.
Game 2 should be interesting. I expect them to hedge so the shooters should be ready. I expect the points to come more of the shooters and not the pnp guys. Problem is that San Antonio have great shooters.This is going to be like the 2014 Blazers series when Terry Stotts kept playing the same coverage against the PnR.
Seems like an impossible matchup for them.
The problem with that is that almost 30% of all playoff games are between 1-8 seeds and 2-7 seeds, in the first round. The 1 and 2 seed win Game 1 a very high percentage of the time in Round 1, and go on to win the series because they're just a uva lot better than the 7 and 8 seeds they always face. That inflates the percentage quite a bit. They don't win the series because they win Game 1. They win Game 1 because they're a lot better team that is going to win the series.
That and Spurs shooters performances in the whole regular season, explain the space. It's likely they won't give that much next time, but depends on Donovan strategy, give our shooters space or let our post-up players to operate...
Nope game 2 2012, game one Pop wanted some nasty and they were 9 down in the 4th I remember and Jackson hit a big three late in that one.
This never gets old.
They had him in game 5 though and same result....

I think the Thunder just came out flat. After falling behind 16 or so early, they got into a bit of hero ball, then the lead ballooned and no one wanted to be responsible, so it was hot potato time.
Fluke game for sure, but I did expect the Spurs to win this one. It's surviving OKC's counterpunch in Game 2 that will really matter. I hate watching this team play at Chesapeake, so a 2-0 lead is a must.
Yes it's doubtful Patty will shoot this poorly again!But we'll take it...
Like Nono said, i'll take the win and I had the Spurs in 5 but I expect the remaining games to all be close....
This team is not a prolific shooting team like the 2014 Spurs. They'll come down to Earth at some point. The thing that will stay constant is the D though.
The weird thing is the Heat had an eerily similar Game 1 against the Hornets (40 points in the first quarter, almost identical score, etc.).
Like Nono said, i'll take the win and I had the Spurs in 5 but I expect the remaining games to all be close....
It was a great win but the Thunder aren't going to roll over and die because of it.
That's the thing. They can always give this effort on D and OKC will have trouble overcoming it.
Obviously it was an incredible game where our O matched our D. I've heard comparisons to Game 3 Finals 2014- Pop said at the time 'we'll never shoot that % again.' Well the subsequent games to that turned out pretty well. I saw it as a sign we are ready to play.
This. I wonder how many noticed where his shot were coming from as well. He's a deadly shooter from the baseline and it looks like the Spurs are making an effort to get him the ball there. Hitting a few of those boosted his confidence for those shots from the top of the horn.
As much as I enjoyed watching this game, and as much as I would like to think it could be repeated 3 straight times more, I also have to remember that the Spurs were on a 20 game win streak with a two game lead in the 2012 series against OKC and got back-door swept in the next four games.
Anything can happen. I hope the best things for Spurs happen.
