after hearing all the talk about how the thunder have the upper hand, and how pop hasnt done anything, and how ibaka is the savior, i have to say there seems to be a lot of people who jump to the gun even more than TVSG.
the thunder did nothing but what they were expected to do, much like the spurs did in games 1 and 2. the spurs dont have to win in okc, they have home court, all they need to do is protect the home floor. the pressure is on OKC not the spurs. everyone (including pop) knew ibaka would be back, and everyone (including pop) knew the thunder would come out and try to punch the spurs in the mouth.
the bright side again, the spurs have home court. the starters will be rested and ready to go.
dont expect westbrick to play that well from here on out, after playing arguably the best game hes ever played. remember he played 45 minutes along with durants 41, and ibakas 35. no spur over 26 minutes. brooks knew he couldnt put his starters on the bench to rest up, because the spurs bench was going to win that game if he did.
tony parker wants to get back home with his newborn son, guarantee he plays better at home.
tim and manu too.
They asked him what was the thinking behind takig the starters out in the 4th qtr and his response was "thursday night"
yes his response was THURSDAY NIGHT, because tuesday night was already lost, and there is no point is burning out his starters who were already playing bad, just to try to scrape back into the game. he was thinking about thursday night is absolutely correct. now if you think his thinking was "i am thinking baout thursday night because we are going to win simply because we are at home" then i dont have words for how
no i better not, ill get booted from the board for what id like to say.
suffice to say that you would be wrong in thinking that pop is over confident simply because the spur swill be in san antonio, especially after a simple comment like "thursday night"
know that he would have done and said the same things no mater where the spurs next game was.

To me it sounded like he feels everything will be better because they will be home. We will see tonight
