http://grantland.com/features/the-nba-simmons-self-mailbag/ Simmons said it best: You can't trust a player's health that goes from "out for the playoffs" to "day-to-day", just because you're facing 0-3. Ibaka ain't right and those docs have lost all their credibility
Exactly, not only did that team have healthy Ibaka (albeit rookie or second year) they had Harden who absolutely torched the Spurs in that series.
HE AIN'T RIGHT! HE AIN'T RIGHT HE AIN'T RIGHT HE AIN'T RIGHT! That's what if be chanting if I was an OKC fan.
No one forgot, but this team isn't as deep. Durant is better, Westbrook is about the same, and they are without Harden and Ibaka (Ibaka may come back according to rumors though)
Yeah but there's two key pieces missing now. No Harden and Ibaka is out. I got OKC taking 1 game their but other than that I just don't see OKC advancing.
They don't have the same team they had in 2012, they might steal one against the Spurs, but this series won't be close.
This guy should go to see doctors, he posts new stupid threads everyday, someone should send him to the hospital . Not let him walk around!
This is a key point and they probably wouldn't have gone down 0-2 if Bonehead wasn't so in love with Fisher at the time.
I'll chime in too. It was all about harden and then Ibaka getting disrespected by the Spurs defense in game 6 and making them pay for it Plus OKC had a huge lead in game 2 but their inexperience got revealed.
Harden destroyed San Antoio that series and was the best player in that series. He's not there anymore
Yeah, when you score 15, 11, 20, and 16 in your teams' wins you are CLEARLY the best player and carried the team on your back. The guy scoring 22, 36, 27, and 34 is just riding your coat tails.
Scottie giving Fisher big minutes is inexplicable. He is almost forty, slower than anyone on the court. He is giving the other team a 5 on 4 advantage.
I remember Harden killing the Spurs with key buckets and plays in the 4th quarter. I know you hate hearing about Harden but.. Rockets forums.
