How will Spurs adjust to Thunder small ball?

[Basketball Power]

When Perkins went to the bench they gave the spurs a pot of trouble and out scored the Spurs by 7 in a short amount of time

Use the same line-up you used in game 1.

[ElNono]

The biggest problem was that we put them on the line too early... They don't do as much damage if they're not shooting freebies...

[Basketball Power]

Yeah, the free throws we were giving them were ridiculous

Exactly. This was the real jeopardy. The Spurs got sloppy and fouled entirely too much, a non-Spurs thing to do.

The lineup isn't as deadly as some think. Green missed wide open shots in the 4th, they were in the penalty from the 8:30 mark, spurs played hesitant, etc... On top of all that they hit some shots.

Pop got a look at it and will make the right adjustments.

Yes. Despite that gift they still couldnt get the stops they needed in the 4th. They have the offensive talent to make it interesting, but not the D to take 4 of 5 from this Spurs team.

[T Park]

attack the rim.

Move better, the offense stagnated again and it was game 1 all over again.

[Yuixafun]

Thunder might have a small ball line-up...


But Pop's been master minding a small ball blue print the last 5 years c'mon. He finally has all the pieces.

We have layers and substance and details.. moves and counters, and counter counters.

Their small ball has no hope of matching the spurs schemes and execution.
