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.
We destroyed the Warriors on the boardw this season actually . Lost every game because of our bench getting blown out

That and some questionable execution down the stretches of games. They definitely have the ability to beat em. Can't fukk up at the end.

They need to get something from the SG position. Roberson is a decent enough defender but he's an absolute liability offensively. Hard to win playing 4 on 5 on offense

I don't think the Warriors were at full strength in any of those games in the front court

Hubie Brown now sounds like a warm friendly grandpa but somebody linked an article here about how nasty he was in his coaching days. I guess underneath that tv facade, elite level guys have savage in them. Plus Magic is good friends with MJ, Bird, and Zeke who are all a$$holes so...

notice what they all have in common too.

Spurs have outplayed the Thunder for all but the first quarter of game 2, last quarter of game 4, and the last 3 minutes of game 5. The Spurs will put together two complete games and win the series. Gotta sit Duncan immediately if he is not producing. I like playing Kawhi in a help defender role. Helps out on the boards. Hope they go back to that.

I would actually hope the Spurs go small for a spell, with Kawhi at the 4 and SlowMo/Simmons at the 3. We are getting beat on the boards for lack of athleticism. Put the young guys on the floor. LMA, Kawhi, SloMo/JSimms, Danny/Manu, and TP/Patty

Spurs in 16

Going small actually benefits them, the problem we have is when they take bogut and ezeli off the floor . And our bench not producing anything in none of those games. If we make it there luckily it's the post seasons so our starters play more
