If you've been following the podcast or the blog YOU KNOW BOTH Blindmaan and myself (Sclub007) picked the Spurs to come out of the West (check the archives) and it's literally HILARIOUS the amount of love the Spurs are getting NOW that they've been handling the Thunder in the WCF.
I'm listening to radio guys who ONE MONTH ago called the Spurs "old" and past their prime and that they didn't have enough "stars".
OMG now you listen to some of these guys and you'd think THEY DRAFTED the team!! UNFRICKEN BELIEVEABLE!!
I'd chnge the radio station but I listen to sports because the music stations play the same 3 songs over and over!! But it's amazing all the Spurs "fans" that are coming out of the wood work.
The best thing about the Spurs is their interior passing the Spurs are doing things in the middle (the area inbetween the 3pt line and the paint) that are unbeleiveable their passing is spot on! And they do this because they knew what players to get to draft and to fit in their system, I listen to morons call Boris Diaw a c or c+ player and they don't remember that he's a French Olympian and one of the best passing big men for years plus he has 3pt range and can play the 3, 4 & 5. That pick up from the Bobcats was crucial for the continuing successd.
Plus you look a t Green, Splitter and Leonard all top quality players that have taken a "role" and a back seat that might make thier "breakout" harder to come by or slower than a more selfish player would want.
Plus Duncan, Parker and Ginobili are all "smart" vets they know how to play the right way and thier games fall into the mental more than the physical side so even in their age they can still be LETHAL and scoff at the "past their prime" moniker.
But you don't make it to the WCF with out being able to play and the Thunder have to take solace in that and here are the keys you must have to beat the Spurs!!
1. Ball movement, move the ball take a page out the Spurs playbook if you pass enuogh you'll find a miss match be patient.
2. Play the passing lanes, the Spurs short middle passes can be turned over get your hands in there the Thunder are athletic and long you can cause Havok.
3. Break Break and more Break run like the dickens. If you have to sit Perk or Ibaka for some time just do it you'll only score if you don't let them set up their defense!
4. Hit your 3 pointers!! with out the 3 point game you'll never get up enough points to beat the Spurs.
Do these things we'll get a 7 game series guys but alas I called Spurs in 7.
Don't do and the Spurs in 5!
New Audio Podcast coming soon!!!!!
