Patrick Beverley will start in Game 2

Umm, what? Since when is the opposing team supposed to care what their opponent wants?

 

Well Smith wasn't doing anything...anything...it was practically 5 on 4 it seemed like. Parsons will at least put in more effort at that spot and stretch the floor and make Ibaka guard him if anything.

 

Idk bout this. Harden cannot guard Durant or Ibaka

 

LOL OKC practiced 2 hours yesterday for the wrong opposing lineup.

 

This. Book it bia's!!!!!!

 

Who cares??? This is want we want, is for them to go through those two instead of Durant and Westbrook.

 

Id actually prefer Beverly, harden, Parsons, delfino, asik...

 

I'm loving this lineup. Crossing my fingers Beverley doesn't get in foul trouble before the half.

 

Brooks blowing by Fisher will be nice.

 

Interesting stuff.

 

same, except have Parsons at the 4 guarding durant.

 

I think Harden will do better on Durant than expected if motivated. He played with him for 3 years, and played pretty good defense on him in the game we won.

 

Bev guards Westbrook
Lin guards Sef
Harden "guards" Perkins
Parsons guards Durant
Asik guards Ibaka

 

I hope they have practiced this... boxing out is also a skill, a skill that guards or SF usually don't do. They watch the ball go down but don't watch their man to box out.

 

I actually originally tipped him at the 4, but i put him at the 3 because of Durant.

But in all honesty if prefer him at the 4, while guarding Durant...

 

Not a fan of Mchale but gotta give it to him... man has guts.

 

It's more exciting this way.

 

Ibaka will do the same thing he did in Game 1....he'll light it up from the outside.

Harden needs to play him.

 

I got my diapers ready.

 

So basically Lin will stand around in the corner and do the thing he does the worst... shoot 3s... how intelligent.
