I know it seems kind of drastic and desperate, but I would like to see Brooks bring Thabo off the bench to match up exclusively with Manu, much like the Lakers have done with Artest and KD. Not only would it make Ginobli work much harder vs the thunder’s best wing defender, but it would also spare Harden from having to guard him, allowing him to match up with another weaker player and conserving his energy for the offensive end. Again, Brooks would never do it, but this is the “win or go home” playoffs, right??

I don’t know if the beard could go any harder to the rim. Yes he missed a couple but them refs weren’t call the clear fouls on him. He got pulled slapped and bodied up several times with no whistle. Theyre calapsing on his drives and looking to take the charge so he needs to adjust and find the open man. Either way we played so so and could’ve wiin the game. We win game 2 and take the series in 6. Boom! ThunderUp!

What’s the bigger mismatch? Perk vs the pick and roll, or Ibaka vs Duncan in the post? Or would OKC be smart to go back to its closing lineup of Perk-Serge-KD-Harden-Russ?

Russell and James have to step up, especially if KD is going to be doing time in the Stephen Jackson prison.

Maybe the role players shined because Perk and Serge weren’t on the court.
