I have faith too but Serge kills the Spurs.
Defensively, he turned Splitter into a pumpkin.
His shot-blocking gives them trouble, most importantly offensively in the mid-range game where SA's defense is weakest at is good.
But, it is what it is.
They are playing with house money, all the pressure is on SA in this series with Serge out. Not sure if Adams is ready yet but hell, like they got any better options right now.
I'd like to see Perry get some more time this series.
Not impossible with 0 and 35, but it's an uphill climb now.

There is no denying that Serge is a big element of why the Thunder have owned the Spurs the last three years. But I still believe in the talent that is on the roster and I hope that Brooks embraces KD at the four. Play PJ at the three and just let the athletic ability of this lineup run the Spurs out of the building:
Adams
KD
PJ
RJ
RW
Adams
KD
PJ
RJ
RW
No excuses. I still expect the Thunder to win and it would be a huge letdown if they lost to the Spurs. Beating Miami without Ibaka...thats a tough task.
Did you LOL Adams playing 40 minutes in game six and getting a double double? Now he is facing a team where he is clearly the most athletic big on the floor at all times.
Royce Young @royceyoung 20m
With Ibaka on the floor this season, the Spurs scored just 93.0 points per 100 possessions, and 120.8 with him off.
Royce Young @royceyoung 22m
Couple sobering stats: In the four meetings, the Spurs shot 46.6% inside five feet with Ibaka on the floor, and 63.6% with him off.
Indication of the type of impact Ibaka has on the floor against the Spurs. Even with that, I still think we ahve to horses to beat them.

Losing their third best player isnt a excuse, take out Bosh, how does Miami do, they'd lose to Indy or the West team as well.
They dont have any other choice.

Thats pretty much why i cant see them beat SA without him.
His impact vs SA is freaking massive.
He's arguably the 2nd most important player vs them other than KD.

Indy needs to win Game 2 to have a shot, i dont think they can win in Miami.
Miami will probably win Game 2, i think.

Go, Pacers!
Even though it's predetermined the Heat will win.

Neither Miami or OKc are good outside of their top players.
Perkins, Butler, Fisher, who combine for 60 mins per game have PERs under 7.
Well with Ibaka out its moot but RW/Ibaka >>>>> Wade/Bosh while Lebron > Durant
I also believe that Reggie Jackson is the 7th best player on the two teams. Its just Lebron is so damn good.
