<p>OKC maintaining the scoring pace. Crowd is on fire too. Adams with the put back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Billy D sticking with his starters.</p> -

<p>OKC in control of game 6 leading 55-31 at HT. 31 pts is the fewest the Spurs have scored in the 1st half all season.</p>

<p>Duncan looks like he's forgotten how to shoot a basketball</p> -
<p>Another big offensive rebound by Adams that results in a KD dunk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spurs made a run, but now OKC are in control after the huge 3 by Westbrook.</p> -
<p>Well done OKC. almost all commentators had the Spurs winning before the series started. Then after the game 1 blowout they all jumped on the Spurs. They closed out well and got a couple of gritty close wins. Great to have that going into a Conference finals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like the matchups in this series, Westbrook v Klay, KD v Barnes/Iggy and our very own Bledisloe, Adams v Bogut</p> -
Echoing on from BSG. Adams is now the 3rd best player on the roster. Averaged a dubdub in what was supposed to be a series they would lose. Best story of the last 3 years for me. His rise and rise has been awesome to watch. He's going to max out his next contract for sure if his numbers stay like this.<br><br>

<p>Get the feeling it's the end of an era for Spurs. Duncan will surely retire, and Manu too. Parker might stick around but the jury is still out if he's got what it takes to be a starting PG on a championship team.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The talk of chasing Kevin Durant will only get louder I reckon, but what they really need IMO is a Curry-esque point guard who can threaten from beyond the arc and support Leonard. Sadly there aren't too many of them floating around the league, and even less of them entering free agency this off-season. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That said they are definitely not going away, with two bonafide all-stars in their starting five and a few very handy operators on the bench.</p> -
<p>I doubt SA will get Durant, Durants current team just beat them, I think they will go after Conley and Whiteside.. and even possibly Howard.</p>
-
<p>I'd be amazed if they signed Howard, given they are such a culture-oriented side. Conley seems to be the word, and he would be a good fit IMO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Durant has been linked to pretty much every team, but the deeper OKC go the greater the chance is he stays there. But if they get dusted by GSW then the talk will continue, and it seems Durant is more likely to chase rings than cash so a switch to Spurs is a possibility, albeit a distant one.</p> -

<p>Agreed. The Lakers and Wizards (he's a DC boy) have been mentioned regularly but neither are in the hunt for a title. I'm not sure the Spurs make sense either as Durant is a 3 and Leonard has that spot. Ginóbili might be the most likely to retire out of the 3 veterans, as I think Duncan will play for another season.</p> -
<p>I feel like a fraud posting about the current game but who cares.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Game one at Golden State where ever that may be his kicked off and Adams already has three defensive rebounds</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9-8 to Steve Curry and the Golden Staters early in the first</p> -
<p>haha I read it as Shane for some dumb reason.....</p>
