Losing your 3rd best player and defensive anchor is always a huge blow.

Oklahoma dude. I assumed you were talking about Oklahoma moving the Sonics(13th largest market) to Oklahoma (43rd largest market).
DId I assume wrong?

It's a huge blow, I'm not downplaying that at all. What I am saying though is, they can beat the Spurs with or without him. Russ and KD are what give those guys problems. Timmy might hit a double double quicker with Ibaka out but Adams will do what he can.
It's not really a huge blow against Miami either because, Miami was going to win with Thunder at full strength. I like the spontaneity of a completely refaced lineup against the Heat if anything

game 7 Battier was something no one saw coming, if he didn't hit those 3's i wonder what would have happened
Green became a ghost after game 5 so who knows really
2-2-1-1-1 will be key this time around, Thunder would have went to a game 7 back in 2012 if it were 2-2-1-1-1 instead of 3 straight in miami

also Lebron and KD were doing same of the same offensive moves KD was getting called for fouls and Bron wasnt.
if you're going to call a certain move a foul do it both ways not only one.

Okc might just pull a 2013 Louisville . They lost a key player to a leg injury and went on to win it all.
Maybe

i dont get why is everyone saying spurs got a free ticket for the finals with serges injury ?
spurs needed 7 games to pass dallas obstacle a dallas with zero rim protection , a tired and bad dirk , the worst defender in the league (calderon) and generally a mediocre team
lets see , spurs even without ibaba got perkins/adamas/collison to protect their rim ( still FAR better than blair,dalembert) , they have westbrook instead of calderon , durant instead of dirk and the rest of their team is kinda equal to dallas (reggie vs devin harris , butler vs carter , well sefalosha is not equal to monta defeintely lol he is more like a small marion ) and generally its a FAR better/talented team than dallas .
plus if brooks is a little smart he can use a starting 5 with durant at 4 butler at 3 sefalosha at 2 westbrook at 1 or switch butler with sefalosha and put reggie at 2 , OKC is far from done

You're not accounting for the fact that now parker and ginobli will get to the rim at will, along with the rest of the team

Ginobli will get his regardless. If anything the GSW/Clippers series tells you alot. No bogut, clippers win! If bogut played in that series GSW wins it in maybe 5 but 6 for sure. Its gonna be a big impact.

Well, I guess we will see on Monday.
Atleast I've got some good fights with Alvarado/Juan Manuel Boxing and Rapmage/King Mo Bellator fight to keep me busy tomorrow evening since there is no National Basketball Association games.

I don't get it your complaining about how the media stops and only talks about lebron. Yet you go on to say you hope he gets knocked out so the reporters have work for years. Do you secretly like listing about lebron on TV? I think you do.

I still think that OKC can beat the Spurs. I'm just not sure they can beat Miami without Ibaka.

U can say that about anything. Tho... If bogut played gsw would've won, if d rose played the bulls would be in the ECF, if pg wouldn't have got a Jo pregnant he would be in MVP mode etc
