It's funny because you could just say Reggie Jackson & be right

Okc will do fine vs Spurs. Despite no Harden, they got Reggie Jackson aka Mr. I Don't Always Ball Out But When I Do it's Vs the Spurs. In 2012 Spurs swept the first two rounds. They were balling at an all time high and okc still found a way.

 

[UserNameless]

Spurs are really playing out of their minds, tho...

 

[Loose]

Nor scared of no spurs

False, SA was healthy for both games in OKC but the two in SA they were missing guys. Leonard also broke his hand in the 2nd game in SA and right after he was out, Durant went off. The last game in OKC, Durant went off when Leonard got his 3rd foul early as well.

So we really going to act like okc has been healthy In those games as well?

Sabo and KD are both gonna to average at least 50+ a game to just keep the game close.

Ibaka is gonna have to contribute as well especially on the glass. If Sabo plays like he's doing this series getting these triple doubles The Spurs gonna have problems. They ain't bout to blowing neither of these teams out like with Portland the hell with all that.

I respect them but got dammit I'm sick of them winning like this.

And Duncan and Leonard get on my nerves innocent face ass nikkas.

Leonard shows no emotion but he's still a problem to be dealt with.

I hope they get their wigs split.

Take away the 3 Point shooting from the Spurs and you have a chance

You have to stay a step ahead of. The slightest display of laziness will cost your ass.

You can't play that two-man offense against the Spurs, they'll ice all that shyt on the PNR leaving Perkins or Adams out on an island and double down on Ibaka while Kawhi pins Durant. Danny will be able to matchup with Westbrook too.

Westbrook won't be able to take his guitar and talk a walk in the park against the Spurs, like he's doing with LA.

Thunder will have to not only match the Spurs' bench production but make up for all the other spots where they ain't putting up #s.


Nah, no team in the league can 'handle' the Spurs, they're too well-drilled and talented for that to happen.

Thunder won't be able to stop the Spurs from getting theirs. They'll outsmart them pretty much all series long, due to Pop v Brooks, it'll come down to Durant and Westbrook going apeshyt for them to progress - any type of misstep and it'll be hard for them to recover.

i honestly think we'll beat the spurs in 6 . tim duncan will look like complete garbage against perkins, he's been awful against perk the last 3 years and it won't change in another series. not worried about splitters he's nothing ibaka will handle him. the spurs offense can be disrupted if you change the initial plan of attack our guys understand that(check sig), in fact i think it's the only teams offense we understand. make their guys hoist up contested 3pts and make TP try to isolate on offense it completely changes their game plan.

durant probably will be less efficient but RJ and RW will be very lethal in changing their defensive game plan. i think their a much easier task then the grizzlies.

 

[the cool]

only team that could have was dallas but they fd it up

you need vets with experience and quality coaching to beat the spurs.

Yup some teams just match up better than others.

Yeah people shouldn't extrapolate too much from 2012. That OKC team was better than this one, and this Spurs team is better than that one. OKC had Harden and he kept making shots and getting to the line in the 4th quarter. And Danny Green completely froze up and had to be benched then, but he is a prove playoff performer now. Plus now they got Bellineli, Patty Mills is getting time and performing, and Kawhi Leonard has a wider-ranging offense.

It's a cliche to say that benches don't really matter in the playoffs, but that doesn't apply to this Spurs team. They have a bench that can come in in the 2nd quarter and blow you out. OKC's main matchup advantage over the Spurs is that their key players are just so younger, faster, and more athletic, and they disrupt what the Spurs are trying to do. But if Belinelli, Diaw, Mills, and Green (not a bench player I know) can perform for stretchs they can keep the big 3 fresher.

OKC made a good adjustment in that series when they put Sefolosha on Parker, and started switching on the pick and roll and the Spurs couldn't make them pay. I don't see them doing that as effectively this time. If Sefolosha plays heavy minutes again, they're going to be at a real disadvantage in offensive firepower with no Harden against a team with where literally everyone on the court can score. Ibaka going 11-11 was an aberration, as was Perkins hitting shots.

Reggie Jackson could hurt the Spurs though...he always does. OKC can win the series, but like you said, they just have a smaller margin of error. They need Durant and Westbrook to consistently beast the whole series, they need a lot from Reggie Jackson, and probably need Caron Butler to step up too. But they're going to be playing a lot of 3 vs. 5 and 4. vs. 5, especially if they give Sefolosha a lot of minutes.
