    TBH, lack of consecutive championships could be attributed to key injuries which made it impossible to defend the previous year's championship.

    If Ibaka was on our team would we rush him and let him play or let him sit out one more game?

    If Serge Ibaka were on our team we would have traded him a long time ago.

    Spurs win third in row. OKC is toast. Ibaka may return, but no way he is 100%. Crowd will by hyped, Westbrook, and Durant will go wild. Not enough.

    Too many midrange shots. He would be traded.

    Spurs are good, but not that good. If OKC brings their A game, they will beat the Spurs.

    Unfortunately, with no Ibaka, that's impossible. And with a hobbled Ibaka, that's unlikely.

    So Ibaka better be healthy.

    Watch Ibaka re-aggravate that injury.
    Stupid decision by Thunder.

    Welcome back Serge Ibaka. Not that you were ever really out.

    Ibaka won't last the game. This is a dumb decision, but I guess they are desperate.

    Ibaka will be fine. No minutes restriction, no nothing.

    Spurs saw through this from the beginning.

    I am surprised they aren't starting Jeremy Lamb or something. I expect more minutes from him.

    Well whad'ya know? Bonehead actually makes a significant lineup change and puts RJ into the starting lineup. Dumb dogs do learn new tricks, it just takes several years to teach them.

    i like RJ on the starting lineup, but that leave okc bench even weaker... so expect 40+ minsfrom durant and wb and 35+ from other starters. Okc burning all clips here.
