The Spurs also shut down the OKC transition game as well. If that continues and OKC can't get the easy shots they're used to, they definitely won't be outscoring anybody.

Why do I feel like a need an interpreter when Shaq speaks?

Hard to get transition buckets when your opponent shoots such a high percentage because they're getting into the paint at will.

Indeed.

I agree with Shaq, you can go big but the OKC's big men aren't that good especially against Duncan. But OKC really doesn't have much choice at this point.

Scott Brooks looks like he should be running my IT department, not coaching an NBA team.

Brooks giving em no chance.

Yet he'll get another pass with Ibaka's injury. It's a shame.

The worst part.

I know it's just not me anymore. I see the frustration on the face of these ex - coach analysts these days.

You better get a knock down shooter or two next year if you are retaining this dipshit.

Send Thabo, Fisher and Butler packing please.

66 points in the paint and you play Adams 17 minutes. I just can't emphasize enough how stupid that is.

Butler and Fisher are squarely on Presti. Why does he always get a pass?

Oh I've made the comment before. If I give my 2 year old a book of matches and he starts a fire it's on me.

Veterans are little Scotty matches.

The thing is he also drafted Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Jackson and Adams when they weren't easy picks. He gets more of a pass, but it's going to expire if you don't fill out the roster with people ready to perform next year. It's time to stop building the team and finish the team.

Ridiculous that there are no games on either Thursday or Friday in either series. Who comes up with this scheduling?

However, once this series moves to OKC, I'm still wary about the refereeing keeping this closer than it might otherwise be.

They're playing a team notorious for flopping lol. I expect to see bullshit calls going both ways in this series. Like pretty much every series.
