What's this guy in the press conference talking about? Saying the Spurs got lucky with a bunch of tap outs and bounces going their way. Dafuq?

I feel bad for thekad.
He has to scavenge for troll scraps once the Lakers (and more importantly, Kobe) are eliminated.
Kobe didn't make a single shot tonight!

Yeah If Spurs are handing the Thunder with this much ease I find it hard to believe the Heat won't get swept.

I need to see how Spurs handle FThunder in OKC's gym first. If they handle that ok then they'll have a shot vs. The Button.
We talking a fit young mj steps out onto the court or what

If the Heat got swept, ESPN would self destruct.

I really don't think the Spurs are handling the Thunder easily. Both games have been extremely intense and the Spurs have had to execute extremely well to pull them out.

The Thunder have DPotY runnerup Serge Ibaka to stop those Pick-and-rolls though.

Lol, has anyone defied the button and walked away? I still feel like they won't have any problem in OKC though.
Easy really was a bad choice of words. I mean they are handling OKC really efficiently. Everytime I think oh shoot here comes Durant or here comes the fast-breaks the Spurs just handle it, they don't get all that flustered.

Miami simply does not have the depth or the ability to combat the multiple pick and rolls the Spurs run every play. The Heat also cannot "pick their poison": they have ZERO post or inside presence, so the only course of action is to put LeBron on Parker pick and rolls and pray to God that slowing down Parker counterbalances Duncan going off.
The matchups will be gruesome for Miami regardless. I don't really see an alternative to putting LeBron on screen and roll action with Parker, because Wade simply cannot handle that defensive duress at this stage in his career and still remain effective on both ends. Realistically, the Big Three will have to play 45 minutes a game to even have a glimmer of a chance at winning any game against the Spurs, because taking even one of them out for an extended period of time would result in slaughter.

I never had the feeling (in either game) that the 5pur5 would lose.
It looks like something my broke ass would wear.
i solace in the fact that Derrick Favors looked heads and shoulders above everyone else against the Spurs PnR

I can't believe these guys make millions of dollars a year and play on a big stage. They act like they should be in middle school.

Neither did I really, but mostly because the Spurs are playing so sharply. But to say it has been easy it's a little exaggerated, wouldn't you agree?
Anyway, someone asked for this a couple of pages back and I just saw it on a Spurs forum.
What a beast! Manu <3
Well NBA Gaf, just got back from Bikini's watching the Spurs play...what a game.
Parker playing out of his mind and Ginoboli with some clutch points; amazing. Props to the Thunder for not quitting when they were down 22 though - they made it a game. I guess you can say the Spurs have been tested now though. right?
Game 3 will be great I think. OKC will take an early lead on adrenaline and will alone. Will the Spurs be able to execute enough quarters to overcome that initial rush? Don't know, but I'd take losing the 1st and 2nd quarters and executing well in Q3 & 4 any day of the week.

ESPN self destructing is about as likely as Dream waking up without a Furry wet dream. They will just flip the coin and point to some facebook post one of the writers kids wrote up about James receding hairline and deem it prophetic.
Guys,
guys
this was my face when Brooks was losing it
In all seriousness though this is just disappointing to watch. Just a terribad offense that really, i think would be hugely entertaining if stuff was run for Ibaka and Sef and some of the other guys too besides "sit here and pop 3's, play good D and always pass to Westbrook"
Seriously when Sef blew by those dudes i was really impressed. Played good D on kobe in the laker series as well.

How would they spin it if Bosh came back and both him and Wade beasted while LeBron wilted and they got swept?

OKC should sign Nash and moves Russell to the 2 guard.

Spurs vs Heat
PG Spurs > Heat
SG Spurs < Heat
SF Spurs < Heat
PF Spurs > Heat (even if Bosh plays he won't be 100%)
C Spurs > Heat
Bench Spurs > Heat
Coaching Spurs > Heat
HCA Spurs > Heat
It won't be a cake walk for the Spurs nor the Heat. I still think the Heat win in the end for a number of factors.

Get your own material.
You can say, "Meanwhile in Miami" or something though.
That one is yours.
If the Thunder really wanted to win...
A) Trade YNB, Harden, and Ibaka to Orlando for Dwight.
B) Sign Deron

Is that going to fix their defense? Because that's where they are losing this series.

Now now, don't get swayed by his midwest charm and cowboy drawl. He's known to be a dick every once in a while, too!
