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.

A prime Kobe (2006 81 Kobe) could score 50 against anyone. That guy was a scoring machine in every sense of the word.

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

I think Kobe has most points in a game against Spurs in playoffs.

With Kwame Brown and Smush in the starting lineup we would've lost by as many as Kobe scored. :laugh2:

Anyways OKC is really been exposed so far in the first couple of games. Been saying it for awhile I thought it would come back to bite them against the Lakers, but it didn't. Their lack of a low lost scorer was gonna eventually be their downfall. If they aren't getting out in transition they become strictly a jump shooting team. You don't live by jumpers you die by them. The Spurs do rely on jumpers a lot, but they also have a guy that can score in the low post in Tim Duncan. If Russell continues to play awful and take awful shots they should consider moving him for a dominant big. If I was them I'd call the Lakers or Magic and trade Westbrook for Bynum or Howard. Of course they should only do it if Dwight or Drew agree to sign an extension.

OKC may have hit the bullies in the mouth when they crushed the Lakers. But now they're sitting in the principal's office, getting schooled.

The Big 3 for the Thunder score 31, 30, 27.....the Spurs miss 12 FTs.....Thunder owned the offensive glass and got several 2nd chance points....Thunder had more steals.....Thunder forced more turnovers and yet the Spurs still win by 9.

Oklahoma City built this team to beat the Lakers. They did not count on San Antonio still being this good.

Spurs have won 20 games in a row! Last time they lost, LeBron's headband was an inch lower.

Ramzi, you're an OKC fan and you think Westbrook is a bad teammate? I can't even fathom that. He gets out of control and he doesn't always make the right decision, but that's because he's a young player and a young PG.

As for Durant, I think it's not that he's passive so much as that he doesn't handle physical defense very well. He's a slight guy and when the right defender gets rough with him without foul call, he has a hard time. He'll get better with this as he matures.

Anyway, I totally expect OKC to win one game at home, and the cries of crooked officiating will be deafening.

No one did. Everyone thought the Spurs were done after they lost in 2008 to the Lakers. Then they lost in the first round two of the next three years.

What do you call a guy who can shoots more than a far superior teammate? A bad teammate.

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.

Sorry man ..... I confused you with this guy.

I apologize and was completely in the wrong.
