    quoting myself again - if Brooks just tries to replace Ibaka with Collison, the Thunder have almost zero shotblocking capabilities and are terrible on offense. Adams needs to start, but he can't start next to Perkins.

    Heaven forbid Brooks pull Perkins from the starting lineup.

    Another series where when comparing PGs, Houston PGs are really just poop can't be more than emphasized. Just wow.

    Scott Brooks starting the game with Thabo, Collison and Perkins is just plain stupid.

    The one advantage the Thunder have over the Spurs is athleticism. And that starting lineup has zero offense and athleticism.

    I'm gonna keep saying, Brooks need to play PJ3 to offset some of the athleticism lost from Ibaka.

    I hope that isn't all you dislike about him.

    Regardless, if OKC can't figure out some way to defend the Spurs, they don't have a chance in this series unless something weird happens.

    Pretty unfair with Ibaka out. Spurs literally just doing shoot around right now. Zero resistance.

    For OKC to win this series, they have to play out of their minds offensively.

    With no Ibaka the Spurs can have a field day in the paint (well Tim Duncan will).

    If WB can remotely slow down Parker a little bit, that will help OKC's cause greatly. Great individual D there.

    Went better than I expected, considering OKC conceded an 11 point deficit with that predictably abysmal starting lineup.
