BREAKING: Serge Ibaka's status changed to day-to-day

[Fudge]

Serge Ibaka has rapidly progressed and Thunder have changed status to day-to-day for Western Conference Finals, league source tells Yahoo.


OKC ran Ibaka through battery of tests on Thursday and his calf responded well. Still soreness but a Sunday Game 3 return is possible.
Per Woj

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Come back, Serge. We miss you. We love you. We need you.

LOL Ibaka with his Willis Reed moment :bowdown:

Come play for 2 mins and hit a jumper that Perkins or Sefolosha could only dream of aka a wide open shot :rockon:

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Solefade]

do you guys really think ibaka is the difference between getting blown out the first two games and winning? i really doubt this

[edrick]

It's pretty obvious to anyone that they need a big that can actually defend down there. They've put Durant on Duncan for a reason, as sad as that sounds.

You damn right.

isuka healing very well, not that unexpected of such a strong jungle animal.

[WallIn]

He's not going to be a factor in the OKC-SAS series anyway

[InfiniteBaskets]

If he cannot come back at least 70% or at least on par footspeed-wise with Adams/Collision, then not sure he'll make a difference.

[juju151111]

He the 3rd leading scorer and shuts down the paint every time we faced the spurs since 2012. I already said they would lose before the series started without him. The spurs can't handle the trio of KD,WB, and Serge athleticism together. Its been proved the last two years. The main thing is The paint where Tony Parker lives.

no the difference is every shot OKC is taking is a very difficult shot and every shot SAS is taking is a wide open 3 or easy lay up...i HIGHLY doubt ibaka is the difference between a W/L this series...spurs just figured out how to beat the thunder

Which would basically require them to shoot even more jumpers with Serge back. I'll take that over easy layups anyway. Be real. They've been DOMINATING the paint. That's the biggest problem. I could care less about Danny Green hitting 7 threes again.

[Le Shaqtus]

Spurs in 4

[Verticality]

Unless day-to-day means he is back and healthy for game 3, this is probably a sweep. If he comes back, Spurs still finish the job by game 6.

:biggums:

[BigTicket]

How did he go from being out the entire playoffs to possible only missing two games ? Either the team doctors misdiagnosed him, or OKC knew all along and put out false reports to mess with the Spurs.

In any case this is great news for all real basketball fans, since it will make the series much more interesting to watch.

I still think the Spurs will take it though.

[Eric Cartman]

Skip Bayless was right. Holy ****ing balls!

[Big Cheese]

to me this sounds like they are in panic mode and are trying to rush him back.

[stalkerforlife]

LMAO...

If Ibaka comes back, the Thunder are winning this series.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[ProfessorMurder]

or OKC knew all along and put out false reports to mess with the Spurs.

I'm sure the Spurs are shaking in their boots :oldlol:

the ass kicking the spurs have put on okc in the first two games has obviously been about far more than just ibaka's absence.

that said, they dont need to win 4 straight on sunday. they just need to win one game and go from there, and returning home and with the possibility of the emotional uplift of ibaka's return, they at least can hopefully get off to a good start and feel good about themselves again.

[Cone]

spurs are pretenders. they woulda got their asses handed to them if we had ibaka

[DuMa]

so Abaka is about dat life

[Thunderfan86]

Skip Bayless was right. Holy ****ing balls!
What did Skip Bayless say?

[crawdaddy4ou]

Skip said this morning before this news even broke that he figured Ibaka would have a Willis Reed moment and get back in this series.

[T_L_P]

Slightly worrying, but the Spurs have said all along they didn't prepare for the series with the mindset that Ibaka will not play.

If he's not near 100% though the Thunder are taking a huge risk.

[rmt]

Which would basically require them to shoot even more jumpers with Serge back. I'll take that over easy layups anyway. Be real. They've been DOMINATING the paint. That's the biggest problem. I could care less about Danny Green hitting 7 threes again.

Any team would be concerned about one player hitting 7 threes. It opens up the lane for Parker, Manu and Duncan if OKC has to cover the 3pt line. That's what Westbrooke was on Durant about.

[russwest0]

Have to love his heart but this feels both too little too late and also a bit desperate

[russwest0]

Ah **** it, backdoor sweep incoming :lebronamazed: :lebronamazed: :lebronamazed:

[T_L_P]

Thunder really should not have listed him out for the Playoffs if they knew he'd probably be back in a week. Rapidly progressing. :oldlol:

If he does return, isolate him on the pick and rolls, try to make sure the ball is in his hands as much as possible. Maybe he'll be like David Lee.

[Thechosen1]

they are still getting swept

[dazzer87]

Heard that he will be ready for game 5...but the series will be over in 4...

[navy]

If the Thunder run off four straight again, Spurs fans will claim their team over achieved. :oldlol:

They didn't know. They're desperate and are rushing him back. Two blowout wins sent thunder into complete panic mode.

[AT9]

I don't think Ibaka is the difference between 30 point blow outs and winning 4 of 5 against a team that's been destroying you. Ibaka is good but he's not prime Shaq or something.

Plus, in 2012 OKC had this guy named James Harden, and the Spurs were noticeably worse (especially on D). I'm not counting OKC out, but this is a very different situation than 2012

They had Ibaka too back then and OKC been dominating them since 2012 even without Harden. Him. Ibaka is not only their best interior defender he helps space the floor on offense. Your forgetting the SG and C are complete garbage offensively and they get to pack the paint on WB /Durants drive. Also on defense Tony Parker gets to do anything he wants and their is mismatch es all over the floor that Pop is taking advantage of.

sadly this. if he reinjures his calf, he could never be the same again. not even sure why okc is taking the risk. even if they do beat spurs, miami would beat this iso-team in 5 again.

[bluechox2]

whats the excuse gonna be this time when spurs run a muck

[BoutPractice]

The Spurs won the last game by 35, and they weren't even particularly good in the first half.

If the Thunder somehow manage to come back in the series, it'll be because of Durant and Westbrook's scoring, not semi-injured Ibaka's ability to hit an open midrange jumper.

Ibaka's defense is key here + the extra 10-15 pts he'll give OKC every game.

Spurs have been dominating OKC like this because OKC has no one to protect the rim and keep the Spurs from getting easy layups, their help defense has been extremely atrocious, because they don't have any decent bigs on that end without Ibaka.

I think OKC improves a lot and their morale will rise, KD & Westbrook might get to breathe a little more on D and their home crowd will get them back in this series. I could easily see OKC going into Game 5 tied 2-2 and then it's anyone's series. Game 3 will decide the series, I expect OKC to show up.

Who the hell are you and give me examples of where I was horrifically wrong about something here? I'm just saying that OKC is a different team with Ibaka there and that it won't be that easy for the Spurs with him on the floor. He adds more than just the 12-15 points he puts up...


As far as I'm concerned, OKC just needs to win at home and steal Game 5, seems doable if Ibaka is anywhere near healthy.

Ibaka is OKC's third scoring option on offense and he's their main shot blocker and rim protector, losing him obvioulsy takes a lot away from the team on both ends. They struggle to score and they can't stop anyone from getting to the rim, which is how Spurs won Games 1 & 2.

[Real14]

do you guys really think ibaka is the difference between getting blown out the first two games and winning? i really doubt this
Yes lebronna stan, he does make a difference.

[mans1ay3r]

Let's be real even a healthy Ibaka wouldn't make a difference here. People acting like he's the answer to defeating the Spurs.

The way the Thunder got penetrated in games 1 and 2 you'd think Westbrook and Durant were both injured. A near 20 point blowout in game 1...followed by a 35 point blowout in game 2? In the Western Conference Finals? That's just absurd.

Either the Spurs are just that good....or Ibaka is more valuable than Durant, Lebron, Westbrook, CP3, everyone.

I'm thinking it's just that the Spurs are really ****ing good.

This. Last I checked Ibaka is a force in the paint... and Danny Green hit 6 (7?) 3s last game :oldlol:

At least this will make the spurs work more because they have it too easy right now.

[imdaman99]

This. Last I checked Ibaka is a force in the paint... and Danny Green hit 6 (7?) 3s last game :oldlol:
The reason he got so open for 3s is because they had to rotate to protect the paint that much harder... with Ibaka maybe they won't have to rotate as much. We'll see. It's not that Ibaka is that great, but he's eons better than any other big man OKC has.

[red1]

im rooting for the thunder. let's hope that Ibaka's return pushes the series to five games

Not likely. And how healthy and ready will he be, you need to be 110% against the Spurs.

Well.. unless the whole Suns medical staff is missing and presumed kidnapped.

[toxicxr6]

OKC know they are done... Willing to risk further injury to players


Let me ask a question
If they ask him to play.. When the doctors say he shouldn't.. And he ruptures his calf.. Which is a 6-8 month injury.. Can the team be help responsible?

[Threethrows]

Ibaka has become RIDICULOUSLY overrated as a defender because of this series :lol

He's not the difference between getting blown out and winning these games people. One thing that is hurting the Thunder is not having his jumper though.

[Droid101]

Exactly. Ora knows better than that.

If you have no big man to get blocks, everyone has to rotate harder. This leaves open shooters all over the floor.

i doubt an hurt ibaka will even make that much of a difference.

[sportjames23]

2-0 series ain't over. I've seen plenty of teams come back from a 2-0 deficit. Now, if the Spurs were up 3-0, I'd say the series would be over. As of now, all the Spurs did was hold serve, albeit in a dominating fashion. But, if the Thunders hold down the fort for the next two games, it's a new series.

[maybeshewill13]

Unless he's close to 100% it's not worth the risk. I hope they just falsely misdiagnosed him and not just panicking and bringing back and injured player.

This in only PARTLY true. The difference is Spurs aren't relying on two people for offense. Any one of those Spurs guys can make the open shot provided with the opportunity. Sefolosha is missing every open shot he gets, and Perkins/Collison don't even attempt them because they're trash on offense.
