"The Thunder taught that lesson anew by pinning the first loss of these playoffs on the Spurs, 10282, on Thursday night. However, none of the past six NBA teams with a win like that -- by 20 or more points in Game 3 when trailing in the series two games to none -- went on to win the series. The last team that won a playoff series after being in a two-games-to-none hole and winning Game 3 by a 20-point margin? The Lakers, in a 2004 Western Conference semifinal series, when they used a 10581 victory in Game 3 as a springboard to win four in a row -- over Gregg Popovich's Spurs."
spurs are done
pop cant counter the sef vs parker matchup
i remember pippen shutting down mark jackson back in 98 ecf
when phil made that move..series was done
same shyt lastnight
Let's say he does shut down parker it aint over
We play as a team to beat other teams who play more as individuals than as a cohesive team
Dont let one blowout win dictate the series
I could understand if you say that if OKC wins game 4 then you could have a case then
I expect Spurs to make adjustments and change the angles they do pick and rolls and screen and win game 4 on saturday.
If they lose i will be surprised and just say OKC doing their damn thing.
exactly. N!ggaz acting like we're just going to not make ANY adjustments.
interesting, but its Chris Broussard, so take it with a grain of salt. Harden is dope, but the fukk outta here with that, Westbrook>Harden easily. Harden has gotten overrated real fast.The Thunder could soon be in a position where they are unable to retain their entire core due to financial constraints.
James Harden will become eligible for a contract extension this offseason and would become a restricted free agent in 2013 if no deal is reached.
Russell Westbrook signed a five-year extension with Oklahoma City last January.
Harden or Westbrook are more likely to be moved than Kevin Durant.
ESPN's Chris Broussard asked 22 NBA executives which player they would trade if they had to for financial reasons. Fourteen of the executives replied that they would trade Westbrook, while eight said Harden.

Harden on his rookie, you would trade the more valuable player if you are looking for pieces. but you wouldn't trade either imo because harden isn't no where near max potential.
