ibaka is no where close to chandler defensively, no where even close. he is a superb help defender, sure, but he is pretty bad at defending his own man. I don't see him having the lateral speed to keep up with lbj, he'll get into foul trouble if he tries to square up. he is best doing what he does, leave his man to try and get a swat at the rim. of course, this is leading to battiers insane three point percentage, and if you asked me if I'd rather be beat by battier threes or a bosh mid game, I'd take the threes. that much space for bosh is either a foul at the rim, or a high percentage midrange.
Yea I have to agree, its been normal for him to commit to being super shot blocker which if your not doing it as help is instant foul trouble against the Heat.

Hoping the Thunder can win tonight so it'll go 7 games! IF they lose tonight, they'll lose in game 5 I think 
Watching some various shows over the past few days, and of course Lebron is getting a ton of credit (which he deserves) but I havent heard a single person mention SHANE BATTIER! He's come out of a freaking coma for this series. He was awful the previous 3, but fantastic so far in the finals.

But Ibaka is sagging off his man to protect the paint, and its the reason the Heat get off to such great starts. Battier shooting 11-15 from three has to show that Ibaka leaving his man alone to protect the paint is ultimately hurting them more than anything.
Also Dallas had a lot better perimeter defense than I feel you are giving them credit for. OKC has liabilities in Harden, Fisher and Durant, especially if he catches foul trouble, Dallas' weak spot was Terry, and Barea, and it could be argued that Barea's flopping was super efficient, and his ability to move his feet was underrated.

Let's go baby let's go HEAT! OH LAWD let's get this one!
|
Best start for OKC so far.
Poor Ibaka, haha.
|
lol i see the score 13-3
ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
|
Yikes, OKC sure opening up strong. Luckily, those first few minutes never seem to mean much in the long run..
|
Westbrook is on tonight, expecting a Thunder win. Good timeout by the Heat though, started flat with non-stop settling for jumpers, but now two plays going to the cup out of the TO.
|
Hmmm, if OKC shoots >80% I predict they will win.

I don't mind Westbrook taking all the shots in this one, slowly but surley i think Heat will catch up. Atleast i hope so. They have to attack the basket.
|
Wow, what a game so far, they're being so aggressive.
|
lol, that was such a bizarre couple of exchanges. Heat aren't converting on the break though.
|

Westbrook can be scary good if he plays smart and hits his jumpers. (Obvious, duhhhh, but still!)

So this is what the NBA looks like when they don't call the little fouls. I think I like it.
Miami hasn't "shotten" (lol) the ball well but I think they'll catch up.

Sometimes Westbrook never misses though. They are going to have to get the ball out of his hand if its one of those nights.

Westbrook killing it right now. The Campaign looks hilarious "I have never seen a baby take a punch like that"
