Nba Playoffs: It's Over For San Antonio Spurs

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 12:23pm — senh

I agree with Charles Barkley, it's over for the San Antonio Spurs.

They haven't shown that they could win a game in Oklahoma City. The two games they played there, they lost convincingly - one of which was a blowout. The Thunder and their fans will be fired up and ready to go for Game 6.

The Thunder seemed to the Spurs all figured out.

That's too bad. I was rooting for the old farts. I was rooting for Tim Duncan to get one more ring. Maybe it is time for Oklahoma City Thunder to get their rings. They're young; they're athletic; and they're big.

Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins can stabilize any front court. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden are hard to stop gunners. Those guys are fearless.

    I’ve always known Serge Ibaka as a shot blocker. He’s almost like a younger, smaller version of Ben Wallace without the rebounding. He plays the power forward and center positions for the Oklahoma City Thunder. In yesterday’s NBA Western Conference Finals game against the San Antonio Spurs, he was a perfect 11 for 11, scoring 26 points mostly from mid-range jumpers. More
