On to the 2nd Rd: Spurs/OKC

I have to agree with Jimmy. He looks checked out, not broken down. He has a reduced role in the offense and does not seem content to be DeAndre Jordan (nor should he be since he worked so hard on his offensive game). I have no doubt he will have his best stretch vs SA. He loves playing SA.

That's been a rumor around here for over a year. Birth records aren't kept as efficiently in The Congo, particularly pre-Civil War birth records. I have offered to chip in $5 on some carbon date testing for him....

But the fact that SOMETIMES he is as active as ever tells me that it's more mental than physical.

He's got a ten year old daughter. Sure he could have fathered her at sixteen, but its another indication that he might be older than we know.

I don't know if Ibaka is older than he claims. But as bigs age, they do one of two things - retire, or find other ways to get things done (especially other ways to score)...

Coaching/system/(lack off) also has to do a lot with the players performance. But yeah, I get what you're saying.

Manu has to play PG if Waiter is playing w/ WB/KD in the 4th quarter otherwise he's going to get posted up.

That's the optimistic version if Manu is not turnobili. Him and Boris is the best Spurs lineup but it depnds how manu will play. Also - you can post up Manu as well but of course not as easy as TP - Pop will decide with what we can live there.

We just need to get in the way of Westbrook's pre-game dance for four games and call him a superstar any chance we get.

Any idea on what time game 1 will be?

Any idea on what time game 1 will be?

Either 7:30pm or 8:30pm CDT depending on whether or not there is a Game 7 in the BOS-ATL series.

Actually, it might be Kawhi on Westbrook & Danny on Durant. WB is too athletic for Danny & undersized defenders usually bother Durant on his postups. That's the matchup Pop went with during the 2nd meeting of the season, he also did it in the 2014 series when Danny couldn't stop WB from getting into the lane.
