2012 NBA Playoffs

[Atzar]

The Spurs need their heralded depth to do something useful for them.  The supposed strength of their team hasn't done anything since Game 2, with the possible exception of Stephen Jackson.  Gary Neal, in particular, puts up shot after ill-advised shot, none of which come within the flow of their offense.  I'd consider benching him, instead moving Manu back to the 6th man role as the backup point when Parker is out. 

The more they play iso ball, the easier it is to shut them down.  They need to get back to team ball and precise execution if they want to win Game 6.

Manu Ginobili failed the Spurs big time down the stretch in game 5. Series could easily be over already. OKC will make the Finals, undoubtedly.

Just imagine if OKC stayed in Seattle. Man the hype of a Boston Seattle matchup. Not good for my finances at all. What makes this doubly painful is that I moved from Wichita to Seattle but at least most people want the Celtics to win (Ray Allen).

I loved the Sonics of the 90's...there is something really likeable about those Sonics team that i just couldnt relate with these Thunder team....however if we dont get to the Finals and the Thundrr do..there is NOWAY i willever root for the evil empire that is the cHEAT.

Parker is balling and getting anywhere he wants on the court. Capt Jack with 4 3's. I hope the Spurs  push this to 7 and c's finish off heat in 6 so we can get some rest.

Not sure who I want to play. OKC is a lot more explosive and athletic, but we have shown throughout the playoffs we can shut down the transition game and make those teams into half court teams. OKC doesn't have a reliable jump shooting big man to spread the floor(Ibaka is average jump shooter)  

I think I am still pulling for a Spurs vs C's finals , but OKC could get overwhelmed by the big stage of the finals.

Yeah, I like OKC to tie this game up too. Going to be a terrific finish.

Oklahoma raising the bar. San Antonio has to meet them there to hold on.

jackson

i dont recall him being a 3pt threat

[jimmehx]

this game is amazing. you can hardly hear the TNT commentators over the crowd!

jackson both good and really bad. 2 3s but gave away a tech and a posession = almost a wash.

[rondohondo]

come on SAS! hold them off

[Roy H.]

I'm rooting for San Antonio, but I'm not sure that can happen tonight.  After blowing a huge lead, it's going to take a huge amount of mental toughness for the Spurs to get back into this.

[rondohondo]

there's the perk we know and love with a charge
