Troll is making excuses now.

Get a life, man. I'm not a troll. I'm an OKC fan. I actually happen to like the Spurs, too... not going for them in this series, obviously. But, yeah, OKC can play better, and it's not going to be easy for the Spurs in OKC. This series could very well be 2-2 going back to San Antonio.

Where's the excuse?

i dont know, but ive seen exactly 5 OKC games, and they got beat by the spurs in 4 of them, sounds like a trend.

he isnt going 50 vs a pop coached team unless its by design like it was with amare when he was with the suns. and you are right, its not gonna be a cakewalk for the thunder just cuz they are going home.

He's not scoring 50 because he's too passive. He reminds me of Dirk earlier in his career. Doesn't demand the ball enough and settled for too many jumpers.

you better hope its 2-2, cuz if the spurs win a game in OKC, this series will be O-V-E-R OVER in 5! or 4

Yeah it could be 2-2 going back to SA or it may not go back to SA at all. All depends if Russell can get his stuff together and stop costing his team.

it could, but I honestly believe only one team will be coming back to San Antonio.

that, and pop would make adjustments, he isnt one of the greatest coaches of all time for no reason!

Durant has the ability to go 50 against any team at anytime, regardless of the coach. I know you like the Spurs, but you gotta respect KD enough to know that. I didn't say it was gonna be a cakewalk... for either team. It's going to be tough, but OKC has a chance to tie it going back to San Antonio. They have the talent to do it.

Btw, Durant has the ability to go 50+ if he gets hot, so yes he can play better... so can Westbrook... have you not watched an OKC game this year?

nope, just a fake, cheap immitation riverwalk!!!

I agree... over in 5 if OKC doesn't win game 3. If they can get it back to 2-2, it's a whole new series obviously.

Durant has the ability to be the next Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan at least offensively, but he is so passive unlike those guys.

Biggems · May 29, 2012

btw, Thunder fans, yes you came back in this game....great in game adjustment by Brooks. However, now the Spurs have seen your Super Lineup.....The Spurs took a few blows, but then came back swinging and won the game.

The Spurs will be ready for everything the Thunder has to dish out. Yes, OKC will bring a few haymakers and the Spurs will teeter and totter a bit, but they will not hit the canvas.....instead, they will bounce off the ropes and come back Rocky-style and finish off OKC with a southpaw uppercut to the jaw.

GO SPURS GO

Durant shoots much better at home so he must demand the ball and be aggressive.

If Westbrook is most aggressive again, probably 3-0 Spurs.

no, he cant go 50 vs a good defensive team, pretty much only michael jordan could do that. i am a UT grad and LOVE KD, trust me, i know what he is capable of, he is my favorite player outside of the spurs. He would NEVER score 50 on the spurs in a playoff game unless it was by design. its possible that OKC will win both games, but its not very likely.

RamziD · May 29, 2012

So, you think the Spurs were just temporarily stunned by a lineup that they couldn't have even fathomed until Scott Brooks put it in the game. It's not like a hitter going up against a pitcher for the first time and taking 2 at-bats to get used to his pitches. They cut the lead like that because they have the ability to score points in big bunches. They've done it all year.

So, only MJ can score 50 points against the Spurs? Ok, got it.

i cant WAIT for game 3! but i gotta be at work early tomorrow, so, PEACE!

btw, BIG day for the mavs tomorrow! lottery time!

yes, or the celtics when healthy, or the pistons from 7 years ago, or any other great defensive team in league history

in the playoffs, pop doesnt care about the regular season enough to make adjustments like that

Well, you said this is the best KD could possibly play against the Spurs. I disagree. We'll see how they come out in game 3.
