Sefoloasha... That guy was terrible in games 1 and 2... I want him and Collison to get more minutes.
Surely OKC is just about worn out, right? They only have like 6 or 7 guys that are really effecting SA. They were able to ride those guys for games 3 and 4. I can only hope those guys are running out of gas now.

Yes, Diaw came to play.
Notice the big difference in the Spurs victories as opposed to the thunder wins. One team has looked much more dominant without having to rely on foul calls by the refs.
Finish strong, give them zero confidence for game 6
Hopefully the Spurs take their offense with them on the plane to OKC. And hopefully it gets off the plane with them, and follows them into the arena.
That's about the only shot they have, plus pray for Durant and Westbrick to miss some of their 40 FTs they are going to get.

Diaw is doing fine in the post. If he takes it straight up, he gets rejected most of the time. He's short. Instead, he punishes the defender, makes them play longer, and usually ends up with either a nice shot or a pass to an open shooter or cutter.
Diaw is having a great game. My comment was in regards to his first move. To me, his first move is quick and decisive and usually has the defender a split second behind him, but he never takes that open look. A lot of times he finds a good pass out of his post up, but I was directing my comment towards scoring off the first move.
Spurs have played with more energy tonight too. They've really gone after the defensive rebounds after giving up tons of second chance points in OKC. If they can keep that up and keep down the turnovers, even with a 2:1 disparity in free throws they have a shot to win.
Agree on Diaw. He wants to outsmart people so bad, sometimes he doesn't realize he's already done it.

He usually looks open, but I think the defender has a chance to recover on those a lot of the time. He gives up a lot of length.
In the wins, ibaka's injury not a question. In a loss now it's a problem.
Jackson's ankle good to go last game, hampering him this game.

Why do some guys wear tshirts under their jerseys? Shoulder support? Doesn't Chris Paul always wear one?
But the way the refs allowed the OKC bigs to play Duncan and splitter and the way Westbrook was able to foul or be out of bounds on he steals led to much of those problems. This spurs team didn't go from clicking to terrible to clicking again without some ref help.
Announcers trying to resurrect Ibaka's injury to explain this game. He looked fine physically to me, I think the Spurs took him out of the game. Maybe he's tired, but he seemed to be moving well.
Derek Fisher is a piece of ****
Spurs get no fouls called!
Whoop his ass ayres!

I agree. Ibaka was just fine physically. He was moving quickly and causing issues. The Spurs were simply unbeatable tonight. They might need to play this way one more time if they want to go back to the finals.
I've never seen a competitive series with two heavyweight contenders open up with 5 straight blowouts.
Good D tonight by the Spurs. We put the clamps on as the game progressed.

Did Bonner even score a point?
Great gut check by the Spurs.

This is the first playoffs where I've felt like the spurs depth has truly paid off. In past years, they tended to disappoint somewhat in the playoffs. They would open up big leads in the regular season, then at best tread water in the playoffs. This year, they have really done a good job forcing the opposing starters to keep playing and worn them down by playing them to a draw or even going on little runs.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Oddly enough, I think OKC was baited into a few really bad shots because they assumed Bonner can't defend. He's actually not a bad post defender.
The threat of a bonner three opened up the floor but diaw actually excelled and made a measurable difference in the stretch four role. The medium fundamental needs to shoot a few threes before Saturday night. He definitely hasn't earned any free agent contract offers yet.
