It's funny. I was thinking about it

W/ ibaka out. Outside of Westbrook and Durant does ANYONE on OKC roster break Spurs first 10 rotation? First 9? 8?

I mean shit, those two are so explosive, and Ibaka is an underrated monster in his own right, but it's so many guys completely past it or guys who are way too young.


I guess Reggie Jackson is good 6th man


It shouldn't be THAT hard to build a title winner around their big 3, but right now OKC isn't there. I suppose if Adam's develops properly and they retool w/ right role players could all change.


AAAAAAAND Spurs have blown this wide open

We're on fire, we just need to go all out in the next game to kill this series.

Everybody's feeling good, even Manu. If Manu is alive, we'll beat Miami.

It would be nice if we sweeped them after what happened in 2012, and especially since we didn't witness San Antonio Sweepers this year.

Which number do you wear bro?

I don't think so. You could say that about the pacers though.

One thing I know for sure the Heat will 3 peat if they play OKC in the final.




yup.

Sadly I think their big 3's are 'comparable' Lebron obviously the best by a margin but I take RW/Ibaka over Wade/Bosh in terms of overall impact.

But the supporting cast scews towards miami heavily, which is funny cause i don't really liek their supporting cast.

And coaching towards miami heavily.


In a couple years or a couple shrewd signings tho, this could REALLY change. Adams could be the difference maker. I'm still high on Perry Jones. Reggie Jackson is nice. Lamb, dunno. Roberson shows good D for future. Still got shitton of picks.

but what sucks is how dependent they are on legit fodder, Butler/Fisher/Perkins.
-

Where as miami's older fodder still has functionality.

^^^ This is true
Miami bench isn't even that good. They have defined roles though. They just have to defend and knock down shots.

OKC it seem to need their bench to consistently give them offensive output. Personally, I think they need a low post presence. Perkins isn't need. I'm iffy about Thabo as well. Good defensive stopper but need to be able to knock down shots consistently.

Adams

he's REALLY good for how young and raw he is.

if he progresses way he should he should become chandler or noah-esque presense. Banging in 10-12 ppg, rebounding, owning paint etc.

Other than that, get a fucking shooter.

For the amount of attention KD and RW command, a guy who can just hit open J's like Danny Green would FEAST

Yea, heard some good things about Adam. Seems a very exciting prospect. :thumbsup:

Derek Fisher provides valuable senatorial "experience". :o

Wow 2012 all over again :fp:

I sincerely think the winner of WCF is the loser since they'll have to work harder for their holiday, there's no way either san antonio or okc beat the heat.

I swear, this playoffs, anytimes anyone has complained about refs, they got all calls next game
Some of those fouls were a bit ridiculous.

home court reffing is real. It's true in all sports by the way. Fear of crowd

I want Indy to add some versitility in the way of a big wing who can play 4 or a stretch 4 and shoot 3's so bad.

They need the spacing sometimes, I love PG and Lance, but w/ a stretch 4, they got easier lanes to rim.


Oh hey, granger could have done that right? Nah lets trade him for epic fodder ET. Bird :fp::fp:
