Kendrick Perkins on the loss: Thunder were "outsmarted."

[andremiller07]

Ibaka is a better player than Boris Diaw. Belli and Gino sure as hell wouldn't be starting considering Kevin Martin is as good or better than them and he didn't.

Reggie Jackson is a starting PG in this league too. Spurs are deeper, but OKC's 5 best players are better than the Spurs' 5 best.

So Bellenlli/Gino would not start over Thabo and Jackson? Are you actually being serious?

Reggie Jackson is not a starting PG in this L and if he were he would be one of the worst after Raymond Felton. If Ibaka is better than Diaw why can't he dominate against Matt Bonnar and why was Diaw the biggest reason the Spurs won the last two games by him dominating the paint and playmaking?

The OKC have 3 starters on there entire roster the Spurs have like 8 or 9.

[Freakzilla]

Boris Diaw would be OKC's 3rd most talented player so the Spurs were way more talented. Bellenlli/Gino would both be starters in OKC, hell Austin Daye would probably be the back up SF and contributor on the Thunder over scrubs like Perry Jones.

Reggie Jackson was there 3rd go to guy he literally would be like a 8th/9th option on the Spurs. Not to mention the vast difference in IQ, I mean the Spurs dumbest player would be someone like Patty Mills and he's got a solid basketball IQ and probably one of the highest if he were on the Thunder.

Jeff Ayres. Hate that guy.

[Freakzilla]

It was Brooks' fault. Why did he start Perk in game 6? Why didn't he atleast switch Perk onto Bonner so Ibaka didn't have to choose between leaving him open for three and rotating? Could've started Thabo, Fisher or Lamb in place of Perk, would've given them better spacing.

[andremiller07]

Jeff Ayres. Hate that guy.

Yeah I meant those who actually but,Ayres is just there.

That's his playing style. Get on the court and do your absolute best not to have any influence on the game. Got a bucket? Gotta give one up on the next play.

How I picture behind the scenes of OKC

Scott Brooks: Ok, this is what we're doing, Durant you get the ba..

Westbrook: HELL NAH, I GOT THE BALL AND WE DOING THIS

Durant: I agree with Westbrook *nods head*

Ibaka: IBAKA

Everyone else: ...

I am groot

[konex]

I don't think a 51-5 bench scoring advantage in gm 6 is being "outsmarted". Spurs were just a better, deeper team

[imdaman99]

OKC lost to a better team. That's all there really is to say.

This year's Spurs are better than last year's and last year's Spurs were 1 rebound away from beating the Heat, also on the road.

Now if the Spurs were to beat the Heat in 6 or less this year... branstans will have to stop trolling Durant and OKC

[buddha]

San Antonio may have not been the more athletic team but they were the more skilled team though.

Lmao, I love how he simply states his name.

We aren't that deep really, outside of Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka/Jackson everyone else is either over the hill or talented but inexperienced. Presti really needs to pick up some better role players in the off-season and hope Adams/Lamb/PJ3 keep improving.

[sd3035]

Or maybe your franchise player should grow a pair of balls. Too busy crying on his mother and backpack shopping. Just an absolute *****. OKC will never win anything.

I don't think it's physically possible for Durunt to wear a backpack unless he ties it around his neck

[tpols]

Ibaka is a better player than Boris Diaw. Belli and Gino sure as hell wouldn't be starting considering Kevin Martin is as good or better than them and he didn't.

Reggie Jackson is a starting PG in this league too. Spurs are deeper, but OKC's 5 best players are better than the Spurs' 5 best.

OKC has the two best players but then SA has arguably the next best 4 in duncan, parker, manu, and leonard. Plus their bench is way better.

[Anaximandro1]

Spurs' biggest weakness (lack of physical abilities due to age) may actually be the cause of their biggest strength (great ball movement)




I like the fact that the Spurs players seem angry. They don't want the ring ... they want to destroy the Heat.


I'm moderately optimistic about the Spurs' chances. Historically, they have reacted well after suffering devastating losses :

- Fisher's miracle shot in 2004 -> Spurs won the NBA title in 2005

- Manu's foul in 2006 -> Spurs won the NBA title in 2007
