Ibaka is a better post player than Perkins, so why not harden on Perkins, as bizarre as that sounds...
Just to clarify, McHale's rotation in game 4 will specifically mean Beverly at the 4 or 5 so he can shut down Ibaka.
Believe me....this is not want the Thunder want. I can live with Ibaka posting up every time on offense. Westbrook would go nuts and play iso ball if this happens.

I hope they can get the freaking rebounds! Or else this is gonna be like the Memphis game where they got most of the rebounds and second points chances...
i guess the plan is to get ibaka further out, and see if he can recover and block a shot when he is guarding parsons. I thought lin guarded westbrook great, only 4 pts through one qtr. He struggled more against the 3,000 year old fisher. Hope nobody gets into foul trouble. harden can play d on durant by scoring on durant.
