It's going to be really difficult for OKC to win without Ibaka because with Ibaka they didn't have to have everyone collapse on Parker when he entered the lane, but with no Ibaka you'll see Butler, Westbrook, and Sefalosha (when he's not on Parker) helping out, leaving the kick out wide open.

I think the only way OKC wins is if they start Adams and sit Perkins while sticking Sefalosha on Parker. Perkins is a liability right now because he's so slow, he can't get over to contest Parker's lay-ups.

Starters

Parker - Sefalosha

Green - Westbrook

Leonard - Durant

Duncan - Adams

Splitter - Collison

When SAS goes small...

Parker - Sefalosha

Green - Westbrook

Leonard - Butler

Diaw/Bellineli - Durant

Duncan - Adams

In my opinion, that's their only chance and you have to tell everyone except for Adams to stay home when Parker drives.

Ibaka doesn't make that big of a difference from the beatings that these games have been.

actually I think he might be the most important player in the playoffs for OKC. Durant and Westbrook can score but I think Ibaka sets the tone for the team defensively and is a spark plug. He also helps open the game up more for Durant and Westbrook.

Ibaka is super important to the Thunder because he protects the paint. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli score most of their points in the paint and with a shot-blocker like Ibaka back there it forces the Spurs to become primarily an outside shooting team.

So if you factor in 7 blocks, 7 turnovers (14 empty possessions), Leonard, Green, and Bellineli going a combined 6-17, and Durant and Westbrook going off (both offensively and defensively) you get a big OKC win.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
