2016 NBA Playoffs WESTERN Conference Discussion

his team won what, 42 games; let's not go crazy here, folks. he's shooting 39% from the floor in the playoffs. in the regular season, it was 42%. if he were a superstar, people would be crapping all over him for these things. since he's not, we celebrate it.

that's ok; but it's sort of my point.

 

Man I really would like to see OKC beat the Spurs but I DO NOT believe they can beat Cleveland at all. Ultimately all I care about at this point is the Cavs losing.

 

Series tied. great job by Durant

 

Is Duncan injured? What's going on? I didn't watch, but the box score was a bit of a shock. Pretty sure this is his last year if something dramatic doesn't change. He seemed to be pretty solid all year in limited minutes.

 

@sirronstuff He was in foul trouble and West/Diaw were effective today with his post ups. Spurs really capitulated in the 4th with Aldridge/Leonard combining for a grand total of 1 pt while Durant took over; it seems that OKC found the magic frontcourt by benching Ibaka and playing Kanter.

 

I had the same thought the game before, too. The Spurs played better with him on the bench. Either he is injured or he might be truly and finally done. Which would be totally ok at 40, but still kind of out of nowhere. A testament to his career

 

Finally a very good series .

-KD needs to remain the 1st option and Westbrook to focus on getting his bigs easy buckets .

-Spurs had a lot of trouble handling Durant isos on top

- Pop needs to stop playing the West/Diaw , they get manhandled on the glass

 

I haven't watched every minute, but when I have, okc's doing a good job limiting SA's open threes. this causes a lot of problems.

 

I'm going to need him to consistently beat Lebron too, no repeats of 2012 as I believe if OKC beats SA they will also beat the injured-Curry or Curry-less GSW.

 

I hope so, I have a horrible feeling about how these playoffs end up.

 

We need Stephen Curry to get a few games in before the next round begins. Luckily for GS, the Spurs and Thunder are headed for a 7 game series. And tbh, it's anybody's series right now.

 

Perfect scenario is get everyone minutes, get them going, and give him a couple weeks to get his legs back before the finals. No rings for kings!
