    Oh there's no question about that. With no rim protection their entire team is BBQ chicken as Shaq would say.

    That's like a girl who used to be nice and sweet, but as she got older she became a b****.

    We are witnessing greatness. The spurs are simply on another level. Nobody can stop them.

    My take: Paul is a superior player if dropped on a random NBA team.

    Replace Parker with Paul, though, and the Spurs are worse. Tony Parker is a much better Popovich point guard.

    yes. cp3 is a better player but tony p is a better fit and has been under the same coach for his entire career.

    Damn, why didn't I vote for Spurs in 4? Before the series I had the Spurs in 7, yeah right!

    With the way McFail coaches? McFail takes out some guys when they are hot if they are not designated stars. McFail rest some guys because their time is up regardless of what's happening on the court.

    They need a better coach.
    Half their plays are Russell Westbrook taking horrible contested jumpers.
    He's a volume player. Only reason he puts up the numbers he does is because he holds the ball so much.

    Kevin Durant needs to bulk up. If he can adopt a Dirk-like post game he'd be unstoppable.

    So, you're saying maybe they could use an athletic shotblocker that is one of the best jumpshooting bigs in the league?

    It seems to me you guys are saying Pop is the greatest coach of all time? So if he coached the Thunders, how dominate would that team be under Pop?

    He'd either break Westbrook down into a team player or he'd force him out of OKC. The Thunder will never win a championship if they are going to allow Westbrook to shoot them out of 2-3 games out of a series.
    Personally, I love Westbrook's fire, but nothing can excuse his piss poor shot selection. I saw like 4-5 possessions in a row ended in like 7 seconds by a horrible Westbrook jumper.

    They wouldn't be constructed the same way if Pop ran it. He wouldn't put up with Westbrick's selfishness.
