Spurs in 5. OKC is gonna get so much taken away because of Pop's defensive scheme. Unless Ibaka can destroy Duncan on defense....I think this series is gonna be ugly. Westbrook can't play point well enough to off the pick and roll to handle what SAS is gonna make them do.

Westbrook is gonna look real bad this series. Oddly enough, the only team could have beat SAS was the Lakers or Heat. Thunder don't match up well.

Expose them in what way?

We're talking about a #1 and a #2 here. San Antonio is 8-0 in the playoffs but they played a #8 and a #5. OKC is 8-1 playing a #7 and a #3. That's pretty damn good. We're going into a series matching the two best teams currently in the playoffs. This should be the NBA Finals. OKC winning in 6 doesn't expose the Spurs in any way. I could see that argument if the Thunder sweep the Spurs but not a 6 game series.

05-22-2012, 01:16 PM
this is going to be a 7 game series, as an okc fan i am realistic enough to admit that the spurs are currently the best team in the nba. they're at 100% playing team-ball and have the best coach in the nba guiding them through the playoffs. more than likely, the spurs will win this series, but it will be one hell of a series.

i expect this to be a memorable series...:bowdown:

Wrong, what Pop did in the Clippers series was just get the ball out of CP3's hands.. If OKC has a line up of Russ, Harden en KD in.. that' not really gonna work. It's not gonna be that simple.

Wrong, what Pop did in the Clippers series was just get the ball out of CP3's hands.. If OKC has a line up of Russ, Harden en KD in.. that' not really gonna work. It's not gonna be that simple.

what they did was cut off the floor and force certain passes(the passes they wanted LAC to have). They have shown that their defensive rotations are more than solid and they have size and a great anchor. They are going to push Westbrook off his spot and force him to shoot from different areas or make plays. We will see if Ibaka is capable of doing this.

The Laker's defensive gameplan was solid but they didn't have the right players. The Spurs have the right players....they are smart, on the same page and savvy. Guarantee you that Harden doesn't parade to the line like that...Guarantee you that Westbrook has 4+ turnovers every game. Guarantee you Perkins gets called for some of those screens. Plus, Splitter and Duncan know how to level off guys like Harden without fouling unlike that Laker bigs. Diaw will step in and is savvy enough to read Harden and get a charge. This Spurs team is weak towards post players and big frontlines...they are very strong against the pick and roll...it is like they were built to stop it.

With OKC...what you have to do is cut off the floor and the Spurs do this better than any team in the league. Spurs have soo many smart savvy guys out there that I see OKC turning the ball over alot. And if Leonard steps up on defense --> this could be a big problem for OKC.

Agreed.

Perkins/Ibaka can do better job on Duncan defensively. Tony Parker might struggle against bigger & more athletic guard and best shot blocker in the paint.

Clippers & Jazz were crappy teams with overrated stars and bad coaches.

My biggest concern for OKC their coach. He is not good eighter.

OKC's biggest problem is Perkins is the only guy who can defend screen rolls. Ibaka is incapable (although he will get better.) Spurs screen roll teams to death.

:roll: you realize Clippers went 3-1 vs OKC with their starting SG missing in all the games besides first one? So don't act like the gap between the teams is huge. The Thunder are basically a more experienced Clippers unit but with superior defense.

Much like the Clippers they run the same Iso/PNR sets nonstop. Spurs are going to expose that the same way they did the Clippers. The only saving grace for the OKC Thunder is that they are a very good defensive team. I still have Spurs in 6, maybe 5.

How can the Spurs be exposed? It's clear that they had minimal competition in series one and two, but I detest how Spurs fans believe this will be an easy series and Thunder fans believing it will be an easy series. This series is going to be very difficult for both teams and you can be assured that Pop won't rest his stars because he will need them. Although the Thunder beat the Mavs I will watch this series and get ready for a fantastic series.

Agree with the transition defense. It's surprising that Kenny on Inside the NBA said that Spurs should make Westbrook a driver - seems like that goes against conventional strategy - protect the paint and give them contested 2s.

Spurs defense should be okay against everyone except Durant - only a very slow SJax and rookie Leonard at that position. I guess Green will have some minutes too.

Spurs in 6.

Leonard is going to give Durant more hell than people realize. Shut him down? Of course not. Make him work for every single bucket and match his length when contesting shots? Yes.

This is going to be an amazing series to watch. Really fast paced (I can't believe I'm saying that with the Spurs involved). I'm going with the Spurs in 5. I think OKC is good enough to win one game. But be honest Thunder fans the Lakers and the Mavericks both kept the series with the Thunder close. The Spurs are way better than both of them. They share the ball well and the Thunder won't be facing Kobe trying to take over games by himself. This Spurs team is just too good.

Leonard's great at contesting jumpshots though. He'll definitely make him work. Durant's got about 4-5 inches on him, but Leonard has a wingspan of about 7'3 or 7'4' iirc.

Kawhi Leonard has the largest wingspan in NBA history for a player his size or smaller. His wingspan is 7'3" and Durant despite being 4 inches taller only has a little over an inch on him there. Leonard has the length to contest Durant. Durant's biggest advantage over defenders is ability to shoot over them. Won't happen as easily with Leonard on him.

Don't think so. I was at the last 2 regular season games between them and both were embarrassing 30 point losses for the Spurs. The only thing I could hope for would be Lebron choking under the intense pressure, but Spurs have a lot of newbies who could also choke under all the attention that comes with the Finals.

07-08 Rockets won over 20 in a row and got eliminated in the first round.

But I agree that the Spurs will probably win, with HCA, better coach, and better ball movement. The Thunder would also be a pretty good preparation for the Heat (if they beat Boston) as the Heat play pretty similar with the isos and the superstar calls they get like the Thunder.

Wouldn't have even of bumped this thread if there weren't people actually thinking this Spurs team was a "historically great team" :oldlol: This is a superstar driven league. It should be common sense by now that these star-less teams are fakers. The Spurs are the Denver Nuggets on steroids. Its going to be the same thing next season if they keep the core again. Im not even trolling by saying this, but they should seriously consider moving Parker/Ginobili this offseason and blow it up. Because they aren't winning it all with the team as currently constrcuted. I don't see Parker having another season this good and Ginobili/Duncan will be another year older. Trade those two for young players, picks, etc. And hope guys like Kawhi Leoanrd can continue to improve.

Exactly. If Spurs win, sure I will have been wrong about OKC in 6. But the Spurs got EXPOSED badly. All we heard was how Pop was going to coach circles around Brooks, Leonard could give Durant fits, Spurs ball movement is too much, etc. The only thing that happened that was kind of expected was Westbrook doing too much at times in the 4th. Does anyone really see this team winning the Finals even if they get past OKC? I think Boston or Miami would both beat them.

They were doing work, but I thought they would go down the same way Cleveland did in 09 or Orlando in 2010. Destroy crappy teams the 1st two rounds and than get punched in the mouth in the conference finals. I thought OKC would win game 1 and the spiral down would start from there. So I have to give the Thunder some serious props for not backing down.

Even the 01 Lakers and 96 Bulls didn't go 16-0. Different era, I know but still..... They Spurs were definitely on pace, but I don't see a team going 16-0 for a long time. At the end of the day you need a superstar to fall back on. Parker is a beast, but he sure as hell isn't a superstar. Wouldn't even say he is better than Rondo.

Especially not after the Heat-Celtics serie were Rondo has been an utter beast.

Nah, I didn't see them going 16-0. But they would have had a run that would have rivaled with the 01 Lakers by example. But not anymore. Not after dropping 3 games. :oldlol:

And neither will the Thunders or the C or the Heat by the way.

Imagine if OKC chokes game 6 at home the way the Sonics choked game 7 at home against the Bullets in 1978? :oldlol:

Possible. But the Spurs lost that intimidation factor they had. Boston/Miami both know they vunerable now and can be beaten. Even if it goes to 7, I still wouldn't be shocked if OKC wins in San Antonio. Brooks is doing a shaky job of coaching (wasnt bad last night) and Westbrook is over-dribbling in the 4th, and the Thunder are still winning.

They also exposed them as floppers, man every time they get cleanly stripped they just fall to the ground, specially Parker and Manu. I was just watching the replay and noticed it, even on their layup they just fall to try to get an and1.

Damn OP was right. Even if OKC somehow chokes and loses, they did expose SA. Honestly, I didn't see anything like this happening.

Its not really about being right. I just think its annoying how people are always looking for a new "historical' team. This isn't the 1950's anymore where you can dominate by just being a "team". Even the Mavericks who I didn't think were all that last season, had a superstar in Dirk. Parker is a phony star.

Not going back to the first page but I'm sure I said something in there about the Spurs being your prototypical "regular season" team. 10 deep, even minutes, fast pace, high scoring, middling defense.

They're the 06-07 Suns. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Exactly. Dude jumped on the Spurs bandwagon after watching his team get sodomized by them
