Spurs vs. Thunder - 2012 Western Conference Finals

Yeah, Bonner is the one guy to flip out for Leonard.

 

It only works if you have multiple quick defenders that can stay with him. Also, it helps when the refs let the defenders get away with physical bodying all the way down the court. They let Parker get away with it tonight.

 

The final score looks closer that is was.. OKC did win the game... Yes I more than a few bone head plays from OKC and the Spurs... The Thunder made it happen and won the game.

^^^^ This is so true

zzpot

 

^^^^^ fixed

ZZ.

 

Just got back from the bar. Woooooooo!!!!

 

I agree with that. Parker, SJax, Leonard, Neal...gotta keep rotating those guys on him 94 feet for 48 minutes. Wear his a... out so in crunch time he's a mess.

 

He'll just give the ball up to Harden or KD the 2nd time. This works in high school but not the NBA.

99% of the time, full-court pressure doesn't work in the NBA because the PG can just pass to another dribbler. Where it did work was games 5 & 7 of the Rockets vs. Lakers playoff series where AB was the only ball handler on the floor and they pressed him as soon as crossed mid-court and wore him out in a hurry.

 

I predicted in 6. Lost faith in it after game 2. But now it appears Thunder got this in 6.

 

I'm sorry, but if Pop is such a great coach, how come this keeps happening to him in the playoffs? I was all ready to praise him to high heaven like everyone else, with all the sports media talking about an undefeated playoff run and basketball like it should be played, blah blah blah, but Scott Brooks is making the better adjustments? Really?

 

yeah, that's fine. Make him give up the basketball. Tell you what, he gets down to 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter and he's got 5 points on 2 for 6 shooting, he's gonna be out of his mind! Then you bang him one-on-one and bring help defenders when he drives the paint and watch him jack time after time.

The frustration of Westbrook is in taking him out of the play. He can't stand it. Goes apenuts crazy forcing stuff.

 

Your obsession with WB is weird. I'm out.

 

Ok. Inside the NBA just turned Westbrook's press conference shirt into a kaleidoscope feature on the show. That was funny.

 

He guaranteed OKC wouldn't get past LAL/Spurs b/c they lack a "post" game.

 

^^Haha. TNT guys crazy.

 

I still feel that way. It's not over yet. And I'll own up if I'm wrong. Will you?

 

Some Spurs fans are going to hate on you my friend and POP will put you on his hit list tonight.

I have to agree.. I said before that I was rooting for the Thunder all the way in the west.. I'm not a Spurs hater at all.. I'm a Scott Brooks fan from his time with the Rockets.

The Thunder are growing up too... More wise and every hungry for the meatball.

Boston is not dead at all in the East.. Miami still has home court and in this 66 game season we have great fandom and I will watch it to the end.

I wish you all the best in any team you root for..

My team is the Thunder kicking the shyt out of the East team... and seeing Brooks hold up the trophy.

You seem to have got this figured out. How come the 29 coaches in the NBA have not yet?

 

even if the thunder lose, it wont be because of a damn post game.... clearly they dont need it to generate easy baskets.

the better team won tonight IMO

 

I will if the Spurs had a damn post game.
