    Ball game, no Ibaka looks like it will doom OKC

    Spurs continue to be the team to beat. Even with Ibaka out, I didn't expect OKC to get beat this badly.

    Ibaka or not, makes no difference in this outcome.

    I wonder how much Tony Parker got paid for this...

    Yes Duncan will put up 27 points on Ibaka. SMH.

    It might, the Spurs were taking advantage of OKC in the paint. He provides a tough defensive presence on the inside when he's in the lineup.

    Seems like the real question will quickly become, have the Spurs gained any ground on Miami since last year.

    Serge Ibaka is infinitely >>>>> James Harden. He averages only 1 game injuries per a season. And look how much OKC missed him.

    I think their bench is better, and Miami's is worse.

    Not even remotely true. You are on par with the guy who argued a few years ago that Thabo and Harden were the same player.

    Spurs were about to win the series in 6, if not for Shuttleworth's miracle 3.

    I'd say the question should be flipped.

    Just my opinion, but the Spurs are the better team and I think they could beat the Heat. LeBron is always the X factor in this scenario but SA is showing they can neutralize individual star power and come out ahead.

    hard to tell since the spurs haven't even played a good defensive team yet.

    That doesn't make any sense. It's like the announcers said - OKC has never really played without Ibaka in their lineup before. It's hard to adjust on the fly, especially against the best team in the league.

    Coaching is the most prominent aspect holding the Rox back. And people really don't give Parsons the credit he deserves. Dude can make all kinds of nifty layups in traffic. I think Parsons has McFail to blame for make him look like a dud in the PlayOffs. Awful coaching....

    Spurs are easily the best team in the L right now.

    I don't know why TNT complaining about OKC's offense. You can't win no matter how well you score if you allow 58% shooting to the opposing team.
