OKC - foul disparity

Any NBA team with an Aussie in it, I am going to follow, the Spurs have two and are just so much fun to watch, they are proving to be one of my favourites of all time!

Pretty happy I got to watch this Spurs team live in action against the Celtics in February.

Haha, I just have never liked them for the past 15 years. Pop is a good coach but his personality and general contempt for the media annoys me. My dislike actually started when I used to have fox a while ago and they were on virtually every time a game was shown.

They are a good team, and a very good organisation. They have shown that stability is key in a league where every team seems to want to turn over their roster every few years and they have drafted exceptionally well. They have my respect for that. But I will always be cheering for the team that they play against.

Losing a shotblocker against a team like the spurs is a big loss. Kenny Smith was explaining the other night on inside the NBA that Duncan struggles against size with athleticism which is exactly what Ibaka provides, without him, Duncan has his way inside. Ibaka is also a reasonable offensive player and is extremely important in spacing the floor and making it harder for the opposition to load up on Westbrook and Durant. The spurs would have been favourites even if OKC had Ibaka - I agree, but it would be a lot closer and okc would have a chance. It just sucks because I think the Ibaka injury has robbed us of what would have been a highly competitive series.

Spurs always get the calls going their way. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili have been serial floppers throughout their careers and this has made them such an annoying and painful team to watch. They are so lucky OKC have lost Ibaka, this would be a completely different series with him in the lineup. All of the spurs championships except for 1999 have all been pretty lucky really considering the competing teams in the playoffs have always had an injury/suspension to a key player in each of these years.

Yes I am biased, I just hate the Spurs.

Spurs are playing some great basketball and shooting the lights out. OKC will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get a win.
