Serge Ibaka..

This hasn't missed a shot against the Spurs in the playoffs in 5 years. I think he looks over at Pop and he sees a Big Game Hunter that wiped out his village's food source tbh.

I think Aldridge is giving hima ton of room not being particularly good with the help defense.

Kind of that LMA is in the middle of the ocean sometimes, not in position to help the defender on the penetration but still giving ibaka ton of room to shoot.

Seems to be "by design" as most in and out game from OKC is with him, probably we will adjust on him as a surprise on a close game later in the series, it is very obvious for pop and the team to not see that.

[Josh810]

Right next to all the other scrubs that goes off against the Spurs tbh...
Davin Harris
JJ Barea
Goran Dragic during his scrub days on the Suns
Austin Rivers
the list goes on

I'd like to add:

Jarrett Jack
Jason Terry
Josh Howard

[TDfan2007]

Jason Terry is #1 Spurs killer for me

Josh Howard was the real killer on those Mavs teams, tbh

[SpurPadre]

I'd like to add:

Jarrett Jack
Jason Terry
Josh Howard

Also Mirza Teletović.

[SpurPadre]

Josh Howard was the real killer on those Mavs teams, tbh

But Terry was the puncher.

I prefer the Ibaka that makes 3s but plays soft defense, then 2012-14 Ibloka scaring the out of Parker, etc

You realize ibaka shooting more threes and him playing defense can be mutually exclusive? His "decline has nothing to do with him shooting threes, and everything to do with the increase of small ball and stretch 4s across the league taking him out of the paint.

[james evans]

He's being left wide open. I don't know why people expect him to miss

The level of racism in this thread is ed up.

nah you're just soft

[Spurtacular]

Where does he rank among "Spurs killers" in NBA history?

Not that high. The sixth, seventh and eighth man (along with Harden) inflicted the fatal blows in 2013.

[Spurtacular]

Seriously. This isn't even a series if Ibaka was playing at his regular level.

This asshole better be secretly interested in playing for the Spurs so that's why he's overconfident.

Spurs are focusing on Westbrook and Durant and making the role players have to do enough to win. Ibaka's output is not that unexpected.

Yep..a 32% 3-point shooter shooting 59% from 3(on 5 attempts per game, too, crazy volume) in this series was totally expected

This. We will survive with him shooting a little bit better from 3, being completely wide open, but doubling his normal point output will not be good.

He's getting the looks. Have Westbrook and Durant dominated like in the regular season? Don't pretend there's not give and take.

Derek Fisher ranks first amongst Spurs killers tbh.... s the bed playing against anyone else, but against the Spurs he kills.... Even when he was coaching the Knicks.

[J_Paco]

I prefer the Ibaka that makes 3s but plays soft defense, then 2012-14 Ibloka scaring the out of Parker, etc

Exactly, he isn't nearly the paint presences on defense that he was 2 or 3 years ago. He seems to be a lot more selective going for blocks which is strange cause that intimidation factor was huge for him/them not too long ago.

The two greatest "Spurs killers" of all-time are easily Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki. After them it's a jumbled up group that includes Robert Horry (main reason why I hated him before '04), James Harden, Derek Fisher, Ray Allen, Bonzi Wells, Shaquille O'Neal and a few other players, IMO. Kobe and Dirk deserve the highest spots and most praise.

[timtonymanu]

Thank the Oklahoma City Thunder for trading him to the East because this guy is still a nightmare to the Spurs.

Head of the snake....
