    It is awesome watching SA's lowpost iso at work. Just overpowering stuff. What's his name and his sidekick nailed it.

    Don't let the lead fool you. As long as the Spurs don't come unglued in the 2nd half, they will make this a close game and take back the lead. I've seen them do it too many times over the years. They just have to stay calm and revert back to their offense.

    BigBenito, as we all know, low post offense means everything. Riiiight.

    I freely admit to having a strong dislike of Fisher, but watching him help the Thunder in the playoffs makes me wonder "what might have been" if we'd had the guy when Lowry went down.

    that tech got Durant fired up. He got a no call for the Gino foul and he attacked the bucket.

    Why is Westbrook back on Parker if Thabo is out there? :(

    Fisher was total dog meat in the regular season with OKC and cost them at least 2-3 games by himself (not exaggerating). It was ugly. He didn't contribute a dime until the playoffs started.

    Thanks.

    If OKC pushes out to a huge lead in the 3rd quarter, game could be close to over. More likely is the Spurs make a push and take the lead late in the 3rd or early in the 4th quarter. I seriously doubt OKC completely craters like the Clippers. They will make the Spurs use more energy during the comeback and OKC will have an opportunity to win at the end.

    Over the last 10 years, no other team in the NBA has been better at coming back from deficits than the Spurs. They have been running the machine offense a long time but the difference now is they've never had so many 3-point shooters.

    If OKC can't close this game out, they deserve to get swept.

    I don't see OKC blowing this one, they won't take their foot off the pedal and will try to run the Spurs out of the gym.

    No kidding? I didn't see much of him before the playoffs. Guess I can relax and continue despising the guy.
