Yes, they ran that specific line up in game 2.

It's actually very reminiscent of the year the Suns swept the Spurs
Looking back, that series might be the best thing that has ever happened to the Spurs.
Pop credits it for opening his eyes and finally revamping the offense.

Kawhi is basically your Dudley.
Both teams went small, TD was at the 5 (or splitter was).

Tim Duncan isn't exactly lighting it up. I'd rather have Timmay try to beat me than Tony Parker.
EDIT: OKC needs to do what the Spurs did in the Clippers series where their whole gameplan was to not let Chris Paul beat them.

For the series, sure...but hes ballin' these playoffs.
He'll step up if they play that small lineup. He took a step back in games 1 and 2 because Manu and Tony had mismatches. If all of a sudden the Thunder think Ibaka/Durant for three-quarters of the game is gonna work, hes going to punish them.

I love that picture of Durant/Harden/YNB next to the stats. Durant's face is such a "you wanna fuck these two bitches $100 bucks an hour" face.

Russell Westbrook has 44 points on 45 shot attempts this series.

I fully realize this... but sometimes you have to make a team go to it's 2nd/3rd option and have them have success with it just to show you that. I mean the Spurs have been destroying OKC with its 1st (Parker/Ginobili PnR) and 2nd play (double/triple screens) all series. Sometimes they run a combination of both!
My thing is Duncan is slumping and at the very least make him show that he can be a huge threat.
It would be a bad matchup. But the Thunder have actually tried it. The spurs responded by putting in diaw. Giving the spurs 2 post threats and great interior passing.
In truth, the thudner were mildly successful because diaw got a bunch of iffy fouls called on him. That was during their 4th quarter rally in game 2.
But when they tried it earlier in game 2, and any time in game 1, TD gave Ibaka a masterclass in the post.

Go OKC!
I just want proof that the Spurs are mortal.

Yeah, the fact they only have 3 competent offensive wings and not 4 makes their small ball lineup a lot weaker.
Hiding Diaw on Sef/Fisher has proven to be huge. Shit, they're such non-threats that I bet we could get away with Duncan-Splitter if we wanted.
The Thunder really need to get a 4th wing in the offseason.

Early energy is to be expected. If the Spurs keep the 1st quarter within double digits, they are in good standing.

In fairness Spurs haven't even run their offense yet due to dumb turnovers.
