    OKC needs to burn some incense and pray Ibaka will be miraculously healed for game 3.

    Miami could get 2 games off the Spurs, Indiana would be lucky to get 1.

    You don't win awards by sitting. If he had played and slowed the Spurs down, then definitely. But I think they miss him on both ends. On offense, that wide open midrange J that Ibaka would get would kill the Spurs (he did that 2 years ago).

    But if you don't defend, you have no chance of beating the Spurs.

    Mavs were the only team who could a little, and took the Spurs to 7 games.

    Blazers and OKC without Ibaka play zero defense.

    Mavs didn't play that well and still took them to 7 games. I think Spurs will have a harder time scoring in the Finals, but they should still be favorites.

    Manu and Diaw...

    Those two are the masters of the straight line pass from corner to corner through the baseline.

    You don't win it by sitting? Hence for next year (there is no dpoy during the playoffs) - if he goes back to shutting the Spurs down like he has for the last couple years, this will be a nice contrast to bolster his case. I am
