what's okc's adjustment and what do you think pop's adjustment to that will be?

I don't know. I don't keep a log book. I contend that he's a pretty decent ball defender. Sure, he has match-ups that he struggles with..then again, who doesn't struggle with guys like Dirk? Dirk went 2-15 against Ibaka in a game this year. He held Dirk in check for long stretches during round 1. He's come a long way from the days when he bit on every pump fake and all a guy had to do was get him up in the air. He's played some real solid man defense this year.

He's only been in the league for three years, and physically he's a beast. He's clearly improving, but I don't really think he was the difference in game 1, particularly for his man to man defense. The Thunder are what they are, and they need to be that in order to have a chance. Brooks gave them a shot to do that by going small. Frankly, against any other team in the league than the Spurs or the Heat it would have worked.

If I'm Brooks, every time Bonner is on the court I put Sefelosha on him and let him roam off and clog the P and Rs and force Bonner to shoot, even if wide open. I keep doing it into Bonner makes 2 out of 3 or so. I have zero confidence Bonnet would make 2 out of even 6 if they rotated off him and left him wide open in the pressure of the WCF.

I'd have zero respect for Bonner's outside shooting in the WCF until he proves he has balls to knock them down.
