The System vs. The Servant: The Official San Antonio Spurs vs. OKC Thunder Playoff Thread

[GzUp]

If Donavan is smart, he'll devote literally all his attention next game to Aldridge and Leonard. Green aint having another 20 point game. Parker washed. Duncan is a mannequin someone left out on the court.

Aldridge and Leonard got everything to prove. You double Aldridge at all times, throw an occasional double at Kawhi and its a series

why double aldridge when adams is doing a great job already?

u will just make the game much easier for green.

What're OKC's prospects against GSW?

I actually feel like they'd fare better against GS than Cleveland because LeBron owns KD and Westbrook's souls but that's just me.

The problem with the Thunder's chances is that their margin of error is so finite, given the fact they have to rely simply on two players to carry them down the hardest road to a championship in modern history. That even before we start weighing up how they matchup against the Warriors - they're already at a distinct disadvantage - it's just going to get harder and harder for them as the games go on.

Parker has already had a few good games, he can still put up 20

Green being open is just stupid though he doesn't shoot good on the road

I guess you can leave Duncan open cause he can't make a shot unless it's a dunk

kevin martin is with the spurs

He'll play next game

When OKC is up 80-50 in the 3rd

Parker tried to be the man and failed tonight... so his confidence is gonna be wayyy down.

He aint that big of a threat anyways.

Green gave the Spurs everything he had tonight, so you gotta assume he'll come out cold.

Kawhi is capable of keeping the Spurs in the game singlehandedly, and Aldridge is capable of beating you singlehandedly....

Do everything you can to keep those guys off the stat sheet, and the Spurs gotta hedge their bet on Danny Green emerging as an unlikely hero

I agree, just imagine if ibaka could give OKC what draymond gives the warriors. IF okc can get past SA, somebody on OKC has to step up, either dominate defensively or step up and hit some big shots. OKC can play with anybody but when things get tight late in the 4th, Durant & west take turns playing hero ball, can't do that against warriors or cavs, both teams are too athletic.

SA has heart, wouldn't shock me if they win Thursday, but OKC will come out guns blazing and SA has to survive the blitzes. It's sad seeing what's happening to Duncan, I know his pride has to be hurt, he can't contribute on either end.

 

[FAH1223]

Spurs were up 3-2 on the Clippers last year

I don't think OKC has choked a chance to eliminate anyone since being a perennial playoff squad since 2010

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Yeah whenever OKC goes big, Pop needs to glue his ass to the bench. Although to be fair to him, this OKC squad is arguably the greatest rebounding team in history. I'd imagine most of SA's bigs' rebounding #s look flabby in this series.

I think he needs to use Marjanovic just cause for a few mins and have some ugly to combat Kanter/Adams. He did it with Baynes in 2014 when rookie Adams was a problem.
