Really, the best thing having Dwight does is turn you into a monster rebounding team.

this is a contradiction


explain. Last I checked defense and rebounding are not the same thing.


Dwight is a three time DPOY might have something to do with it

Ibaka's 1 on 1 defense being exposed. Just got beat off the dribble by Boris Diaw 24 feet from the rim for a lay up.

That is quality Shaq announcing, he doesnt belong at the table

Is upgrading an already elite defense in a perimeter star oriented league with a big man when you already rank as one of the top rim protecting teams in the league really going to justify the trade? No.

Man, TP is just going nuts. No one can stay in front of him. And when they do, he is making his jump shots.

When he is in this kind of form, all you can do is hope/wait for him to cool off.

Keep it up guys! Go Spurs Go!

Edit: TP for three!

the OKC bandwagon just crashed into a river with those last ~6 possessions.

Ibaka and Perkins together is just getting gutted on every screen

I demand apologies from everyone saying this series would be more exciting than the ECF.

Not only is it a race to 100 every game, but they do it in blow outs.

K, gotta stop watching the game. Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller are just ridiculous.

Gushing praise all over the Spurs when their winning, but when they lose it's because their too old.

OKC has nothing offensively beyond Durant Harden and Westbrook.

Those 3: 17/31
Rest: 5/28

Damn.

I mean the ECF is just a race to 90 points and to see how many times Boston can turn it over. Oh and how many calls Miami gets.

On the plus side, I may get to see Patty Mills get a run!

I think their defense is a much bigger problem. And it starts with Ibaka.

Scary stuff. Dang. OKC has a lot to change by the time they bring the series to home, or we could actually be looking at yet another sweep :O

I am scared that this is what the vs Miami numbers will look like as well (though the rest's shot taken probably will be much lower =__=).

I think its safe to say that the defense for both teams is their biggest weakness. Its just not natural to see so many runs this deep in the playoffs.

Lol Perkins.

My bad. I guess it is intentional.

I don't remember who said it but I heard someone commenting that the Spurs defense is pretty good, of course not great, but they play great defense when they need to, for short spurts, like the last game in the 4th qtr. They've had to change the way they play this year compared to defensive centric runs the last few years.
