Meanwhile Kobe only lost 2

Ironically last L with home court was in 2012 vs OKC in Game 6

And tbf, it should be 7th (if they lose) since he didn't play vs Phoenix in 2000 but we counting in it anyway

At this point now. Even if the Spurs win in 7 and beats OKC, this recent performance is all the proof to see they ain't beating the Warriors even if they face each other.

That series would go 5 at the most

What does Donavan exactly do?

He's made some nice adjustment tbh. Like not playing Payne at all and benching Ibaka in the 4th for Kanter

Not playing Roberson at all should be his next move. He's like 0-15 these playoffs on wide open 3's

It's sickening to me that okc is going to knock out the spurs, a disappointing season

fukk that I'd rather keep playing Robes since the alternative is Singler finding some minutes. Robes plays better defense & at this point they both probably ain't hitting any shots.

So he forfeited 10 million to be a liability

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.

The faults that OKC have is offset with the fact that they can get multiple possessions each trip down the floor b/c the Spurs can't secure the rebound. So no matter how many ill-advised shots the Thunder take, shyt is still going to end up as a put back layup by one of their bigs or just a better shot b/c now Spurs defense is scrambling after failing to team rebound.

Golden State wouldn't have such problems against OKC imo. They'll be much better at ending defensive possessions with a secured rebound, which mean the Thunder will have to be more efficient with their possessions.

Come on, pop at least given them a shot

Damn Ernies replacement trying to break Dwight

"DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED DWIGHT!!!"

Dwight:

 

[DoubleJ13]

I was listening to a podcast & David Thorpe was on it from after game 2. He basically said the Thunder had 0 chance because he apparently thought LMA was going to keep up his pace from those 2 games over the whole series. Went to see his reaction to where we are now & stumbled on this.



This guy is a fukking idiot

 

[Rekkapryde]

Because he knows no one is offering him 20+

Iman Shumpert got 10 mill a year, Dmarre Carroll got 15 a year, Tristan getting 18 a year.
