Yea ofcourse he's the only player that I like on that team.


Wth was Manu thinking that could've been a TO.

Spurs are finished. I know the series is tied 2-2 but the Spurs are 2-6 against OKC this season and have lost 9 straight at OKC.

Sucks. I really thought Tim Duncan would get ring #5 this year and go out on top.

Looks like LeBron vs. Durant, Part 2 with LeBron dominating once again as he did in 2012 to get ring #3 and Finals MVP #3.

I agree btw WB is too much for them tbh. I think OKC will bea Miami this time around, that's if they play like a team. Ibaka will have a field day on Bosh both on defense and offense.

Nah... The Heat will play small ball and Brooks will be slow to adjust and still play Perkins

Bosh will hit 3s to keep Ibaka out of the paint, it'll give Bron and Wade driving lanes

Plus, OKC is too reliant on free throws and jump shots

[Murax]

I agree Miami will absolutely kill OKC, which is why I am hoping bigtime San Antonio wins. That said, they are in serious trouble. You cannot game plan Vs Westbrook, You just can't. This Guy as TNT says is a weapon of mass destruction.

Pacers force a game 6 as PG drops 37.

Fah&Murax Even tho I've had the Spurs beating OKC in this series anything is possible, it's the NBA playoffs after all.

I had the Spurs in 7, but I feel like the ThunderREFs will find a way. Insha'Allah the Spurs win

Oh and did you see Lance Stephenson blowing on LeBron's ear?

I didn't watch the game but saw the highlight on ESPN website. They didn't show the Stephenson part tho lol but the guy is nuts wale I won't be surprised if LJ goes off on him in game 6. Wara something I've noticed is over the past few postseasons watching LJ, he struggles on the road specially when he's facing a trash talker. I remember his clash with Wizards Stevenson. I think sometimes it gets to him even tho he tries to hide it. Imagine if Lance did that to my boy Kobe, He would've drop 80 on the whole squad he don't play. Another thing LJ should've taken the last shot instead of passing it to Bosh. He's a superstar and shy's away from taking big shots smh. Bitch ass nigga That's why he won't be on MJ, Kobe's level.

Yea me too Insha Allah the Spurs will win. If OKC wins a championship Seattle will be depressed Sxb we don't want that.

Remember the 2011 Finals? Shawn Marion, Jason Terry, and Deshawn Stevenson talked so much trash to LeBron and had him shook.

Also, I agree he should have layed it in to force overtime. But Bosh is good in the corner so it was a high percentage play.

Spurs just went up 3-2.

Pop made a great adjustment starting Bonner with Duncan. Then opened the 2nd half with Diaw at PF. Really gave Duncan more room to work and left Ibaka out the paint.

Spurs are now +58 for the series over 5 games. That's almost +12 per game, including the losses. Impressive.

FAH123,


To Lebrons Defense He is nowhere near the player He was in 2011. Back then there was confusion in Miami as far as who's team it was Lebron or Wade, also there was confusion as far as what Miami's identity was. They ran into a Dallas team that had perfect chemistry and a hungry superstar in dirk. Not taking anything away from Dallas they balled, but You can't say that Deshawn, Marion trash talking is what threw off Lebron.




It was When D Wade got hurt the following season and sat out a few games, and Lebron flourished that Wade realized that Lebron is better in this role as the leader. Then When Bosh went down in the playoffs and Lebron played PF that is When Spoelstra discovered the 'positionless' lineup which only works because Lebron a SF is a freak of nature who can guard all 5 positions. Now that Miami has a identity (small ball, shooting around Lebron) it is almost impossible to beat them.

Re-watch that series, cause I rewatched it last summer. They got in LeBron's head and affected his rhythm. Yes, LeBron is a much better player than he was in 2011 but you can get under his skin.

D-Wade was clearly the best player for the Heat in that series.

Sure, their trash talking helped, but I think it was the backlash, pressure from the whole decision that weighed on Him. In addition Spoelstra openly admits now that in 2011 He 'Failed Lebron' coaching wise. He didn't feature Him enough in the offense and didn't take advantage of His talents.

Rick Carlisle outcoached Spoelstra. But its not surprise, Carlisle is one of the best coaches in the game. He had a lot of perimeter defenders and one of the best rim protectors in the game.

The Mavs also had so many three point shooters.

The Spurs are built in the same way, they just don't have the go-to scorer of Dirk as Parker is so hot and cold these playoffs.
