OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs WCF
- Thread starter curryshotta
- Start date
The only chance the spurs have against the Heat is to play zone. That has been the only thing that slowed the Heat down when the Spurs played the Heat.
Without the zone Miami simply abused the Spurs. The problem with OKC is that they shoot to many jump shots while Miami took it to the rim because the Spurs cant defend the pick n roll at all.
Miami seemed like a match up nightmare for the Spurs because physically they could not keep up.
wow you dudes are fucking insane.
are we talking about the same spurs who have won 19 straight?
the same spurs that go 11 deep? while you LITERALLY only have 3 people you can depend on a night to night basis?
abused?
who is going to attempt to guard tony parker?
who is fast enough to keep him out of the lane?
who is going to guard ginobli jackson neal bonner and the rest of the 2nd unit?
or is lebron and them gonna log 48 minutes a night?
and if so isn't he gonna be "tired cause he has to do it all"

sports (like everything else) is a fuckin' racket.
do not take it seriously.
who runs it spurs? cause they have mismatches against majority including you since nobody can guard parker...
miami doesnt run an offense
that's the only chance they'd have. and they'd have to be at full strength.
it was a real possibility if the pacers actually had a brain and a decent heart that they'd have been moving on regardless of the "it" factor.
and people are saying this team that just struggled with a poor mans baby spurs is gonna go ahead and abuse the real ones?
miami has advantage at the 2 and 3 position.
the spurs have the advantage at everything else up to and including the bench and the coach.
what plays do you currently run consistently?
5 seconds left what play are you running other than either lebron get it or wade get it while the other big 2 are standing as far away from the action as possible and hope that the one that gets the ball can beat his defender and get a good look?
is your identity "we have 2 wings that can score and 1 of those wings can distribute so if he gets in the lane our other players will hit 3 pointers"?
is that it?
he got out coached
he should have let him play and forced him to guard diaw or duncan or force pop to change his mind about being small and go back to the basic lineup
brooks can't really coach though imo
I would not be surprised if the spurs really took it all. They are a good damn team.
Who would?
heat fans apparently
AS a long time Spurs fan,I am going to let YOU experts tell me San Antonio is going to win...
Ginobli was playing with mittens yesterday vs good scoring = Ginsanity and you saw how that episode ended. the other players you mentioned will shine in the last few minutes of the game when Juwan Howard brings the house down with a slow motion dunk.

im no expert but i damn sure know the game of basketball.
im rooting for okc to win but i will never be biased and unrealistic.
the spurs against the heat is not a good matchup for the heat
they're going to have to play howard, pittman, curry, all of them.. i mean splitter is damn near better than every big man they have not named bosh....
pop is a genius because he doesn't start starters he starts best match ups....
and he figured out and convinced his team that its actually better to come off the bench which is remarkable...
i know he told them come off the bench where the unit you'll be facing can't do anything with you...you'll dominate and help the team win a championship
being unbiased, I think the Spurs take this Series in between 5 to 7 games.The depth of the Spurs right now is massive.Plus Westbrook and Durant where trying to yoke on the Spurs bigs last night both missing game changing dunks. I am still weary of Fisher, he is still hated down here but if the Spurs can turn the ball over some much and still win by 3, it makes for a short run for OKC. But if OKC, can create more turnovers with their youth and long arms, it goes 7. Plus, Perkins is an overrated player. I thought Duncan complained.
They got pick n rolls and screens they run consistently but Honestly they got plays spo refuse to run then or just don't know how
You can't say the heat have no plays when they got a GM who got multiple rings as a coach
clearly
why are you changing the way you been playing all season?
Ibaka needs to be on the floor until he fouls out
the fact that he didn't even have a foul says it all
Even in playing small and maintaining the fast pace i dont see why he wouldnt just move Ibaka to center and keep him in for his defensive presence. Im not sure it that was just a lapse of judgement or him out thinking himself. Fish and Collison were effective so maybe thats what his thinking was.
That's exactly what I was saying!
Take Perkins out of the game put Ibaka in if you are gonna go small
Dude was out thinking himself for sure

Spurs beating OKC in a high scoring game.... that isn't a good look for OKC.
Body Bag.
Body Bag.
the gm doesn't coach the team the coach does... if he wanted to call plays then he would coach
you guys don't run the pick and roll consistent at all
even when it works you go away from it to iso ball and drive and dish.
rarely if ever is there a post entry pass.
lebron is not going to the post up like he showed glimpses of in the beginning of the season like he should
wade doesn't see a shot he doesn't like and if he doesn't get the call he stands there and you lose a defensive possession.
im critical of miami because of how good they could possibly be if they were well coached
you don't run any sets you've just been winging it and because the talent is there you've been winning which is no surprise to me.
but you too could be on a 19 game winning streak and haven't lost since april if a few things were changed...
1, lebron is the point forward.
2 wade only gets the ball in scoring position, no extra dribbling slash and cut or whatever.
3 gets his touches inside the post and room to create.
4 bron and bosh pick and roll with a shooter flattening out after the drive for a dish.
your last second play is bron at the top bosh come set the pick anthony/haslem/shane set a back screen for wade
on the split of the pick and roll either bron goes all the way and it frees wade up for the offensive rebound.
if they trap bron he passes to bosh who can either take it strong or pass it to a now free slashing wade who just got the benefit of a back acreen going baseline
you win every game with that play cause there is no way to stop it.
you're welcome
but not nearly effective enough to abandon ship right away.
he should have tried to impose his will instead of trying to play chess
play checkers
if you go small, ibaka/perkins/muhammed are the 5 and the rest are interchangeable
i don't even think they needed to go small honestly, if any of the perimeter players would run a clear pick and roll or throw it in to ibaka i think they'd be surprised he can actually ball and does have some skill, he just doesn't get enough touches.. and his presence on the inside was damn sure missed he was blocking shots and intimidating
perkins at this point is just too slow footed to be the off the ball presence he once was
The Return of Westbrookin'
Was Westbrook playing like this at UCLA? OKC probably would've won if Westbrook stopped trying to be D-Rose.
the spurs score
okc scores
high scoring doesn't bother okc nor spurs its what both of them want to do...
Wrong lmao
Heat problems lay with spo rotations period
To say they don't run plays at all is bullshit
With bosh how look how the ball been moving
Bosh in they play more half court sets which is their weakness
The heat could beat the spurs. They would have to run more set plays to do it though.
As for guys who say things cant be done........thats why they play the games aint it. *shrug*....carry on though
I take things one series at a time.
As for this Spurs v OKC series......the more I look back on this game the one thing that stuck with me. SAS generated far better shots than OKC. And its no fluke.
They will consistently do so

the ball hasn't been moving what are you talking about?
lebron and dwayne had to average ungodly numbers and do it themselves with a high of 14 points from the next scorer on the team
what plays do they run consistently
not every once in a while or sometimes
name some
and what am i wrong about?
the heat bench aint messing with the Spurs bench. that aint even debatable
As for Lebron/Wade in the post........they should do it more but lets be honest. Mario is more used as a spot shooter than a point guard so it falls on LBJ and Wade to do most of the primary ball handling duties, with relief from Mike Miller at times in that respect

Co sign
Ninjas forgot how the heat came back from a 25 deficit in the 2nd half against the spurs
i never said it couldn't be done
but they'd have to play way better to do it.
dudes talking about they'd abuse the spurs... are you fucking kidding me?
Was this the same game where they blew out San Antonio by 20 points while D Wade was hurt and SA bench dropped 50+ that night?
