That was stupid by Acy. Not the foul itself but after the foul he went to stand over Wall for some reason which got it all started.

Wow, Russell Westbrook doing major work on the Spurs. I just hope Pat Beverley can handle him like he did with Lillard. Goodness
Steven Adams looks really great on Defense. Frustrated Duncan quite a bit in the first half of the 3Q.
He's always been dunked on a lot. This year is no different. Usually happens when he's late to the play. One thing I give Ibaka credit for is he will go after a shot even when it's much more likely a poster than a block. He doesn't care. However, when Ibaka actually is in position, the dunk is almost never successful. His instincts in this area are as good as Hakeem's.
Don't wanna sound like an OKC homer but if Adams keeps developing at this pace, the Thunder will get even more dangerous. That sequence against Duncan (block on the defensive end, slam on the other side) was impressive.
On another note, I think the Spurs are officially done this time. I know, how often do we keep saying this? But, c'mon Duncan really does have only one or two years left, Parker and Ginobili have a lot of miles on them, and Leonard is only going to be a star, not a superstar. The West is too good and getting better, with a lot of young talent. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see another championship from the Spurs for another 10-15 years. They're done.
this is how i feel after watching some of their games this year but as long as pop keeps coaching, i'll never count them out. rockets and thunder still remain their biggest opponents and IMO if ibaka wasn't hurt, they would've beat them last year.
I've counted the Spurs out before and agree this could be the year, but you can't judge them without Kawhi Leonard. He is their MVP. They cannot be successful without him. He changes them on both ends of the floor. Plus, the Spurs didn't play with much energy today for some reason.
