Thunder should be outscoring the SPURS plain and simple. There is no excuse for a loss. At all.
Pop, or Timmy or Tony penetrating the paint are things that are going to happen regardless.
Why should the Thunder be outscoring the SPURS when they barely outscored them in the regular season?
The Spurs are the #1 scoring team left in the playoffs. That 122 last night wasn't a fluke.
Is this a real question? I'm not sure, I'm being serious
Dead serious, you've been trying to downplay the Spurs all day. For some odd reason you think OKC should be outscoring them while playing 2 vs 5 on the offensive end.
#1 KD
#2 Russell
#3 Them sweeping them in the "regular season" wasn't a "fluke"
#4 Way Way Way more Athletic
#5 Because the Thunder run little or no offense they often take quick shots, leaving Spurs running constantly or
a. fresh legs verse old legs
#6 Nobody on the Spurs matches up with KD defensively in ISO mode
#7 Nobody on the Spurs matches up with RW defensively in ISO mode
#8 Nobody on the Spurs matches up with RJ defensively in ISO mode (check season stats if you think I'm rambling about RJ)
#9 Spurs are one of the few teams where run and gun and 0 offensive play calls benifits the Thunder
#10
#11
#12
#13
#14
If I should need to clear any of that up, or add to the 10-14 list, you will have to catch me when I'm feeling SALTY again (possibly after game 2)
For now I've released the Hate I can muster
