    Like I said in the other thread, coach Brooks needs to play PJ3 now. Ibaka's minutes need to be split between Collison and PJ3 (18 minutes each). If Brooks does that then the Thunder have a chance.

    I'll say Thunder in 6 just because I'm rooting for them. Against Miami though, it'll be tough.

    Spurs in 6.

    Lose one of the first two at home.

    Take one of the two at OKC.

    Win game 5 and eliminate OKC on the road.

    Spurs must practice some shady **** behind doors, if they think Presti is going to announce Ibaka out for the year and they don't believe it.

    In my view Ibaka is the third most important player on the Thunder. This is a critical loss and will be difficult to compensate for. Collison is a very good offensive player, but he won't get the blocks or rebounds that Ibaka would. Advantage Spurs.....IF Parker holds up. Spurs in six.

    I think pretty much everyone's view is that Ibaka is the third most important player on the Thunder

    Spurs in five. They'll take both at home, split in OKC, and then finish it off in game 5.

    If the Rockets hadn't choked and then won the series with the Spurs this would be a good match up for us now with Ibaka out..

    But anyway...Spurs in 7

    To be fair, the Blazers did have 8 players to our 5...

    The Spurs playing ridiculous basketball with Ibaka out, starting out 70% against OKC I think they'd go near 90% against the Rockets D. :D

    Great start by Duncan and the Spurs. IDK what the Thunder are doing letting Collison shoot jumpers.
