    Great defense by the Spurs all game. Great offense in the second half. Ginobili showed Harden how far he has to go. LOLOL! OKC is not winning this series!

    When things got tough for the Spurs they have the option to go down low to create open shots and scores. OKC does not have this option.....they have never had it. It is almost essential in the playoffs. Way too many jumpshots.

    Why don't the Thunder play Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins in crunch time?

    He's the league's leading scorer. And he was like 2-7 this quarter no? He shot 50% entering the 4th. Now he's 8-19.

    And Durant did such an awesome job getting himself open.

    Did you even watch the game? They Spurs didn't post up ONCE in the entire 4th quarter.

    Yes I did watch the game.......and I don't remember saying anything about a 4 quarter post up. But they certainly went to the post during the game.

    Did you not see it?

    Beg to disagree. They are not wining any game in San Antonio.

    SA makes teams go to their 4th and 5th options. Fisher made a bunch of shots early and made it look like OKC was rolling. This is not a case of them just sucking, sorry to say for OKC fans.

    Oh and the Spurs are not going to shoot 33% from three every game. Expect that percentage to climb. 14 turnovers in one half? Expect that to fall. You give too much credit to your favorite teams.

    Oh well, there's always next year for the young guys. :p

    Manu had a perfect game practically and the spurs only won by 3. I expect this series to be a long one. :cool:

    You said when they had trouble scoring, they go inside. Their best offensive quarter involves primarily the pick and roll and manu's creativity off the dribble, not an inside game.

    I think he was talking about a general scenario.

    They "won" by 3 because Harden and WB fired up a bunch of threes at the end when the game was basically over. It wasn't that close at all after all.

    Just like Westbrook and Harden aren't going to suck this badly again, in the same game.

    You're the one giving too much credit to SA.

    Believe what you want to believe, it really doesn't matter.

    Bottom line, OKCs inability to get any points in the post is one of their greatest weakness and until it is addressed they won't come out the West.
