He is working hard as hell dealing with the length of Mobley & Allen on the boards and defensively. If we had a real PF we could free him up and just sick him on Harden to expedite him considering retirement. And or add extra help defense for the paint or perimeter.

I didn't think OG looked that bad. Not 100% but trending in the right direction.

I'm exactly in this camp. I also find it kind of hilarious (in a good way) when he drives baseline, stops under the basket, and then banks in a bunny. Defenders just bounce off him like it's a video game

He looks to be doing what he needs to while working his way back. We see what happened to J Dub in OKC last game. I hope we get a couple of blow outs to close out the series to get him rest and wait for whoever wins the WCF.
If/when we make the finals, that's gonna be a tough series. 5-8 in OKC will be ugly to watch but, I think we can beat them straight up. Wemby is a problem all by himself. Having to cover Castle/Vassell while dealing with Wemby will also be tough. Is Fox gonna be 100%? Both teams have depth too. We matched up well with SAS and we played well against OKC in the regular season. Hopefully it translates the post season where we are playing the best ball we have ever played.
You gotta hope the referee issues don't ruin a good series.

NBA will put it's hands on that ref whistle to make some longer series but you can't pass up NY Spurs finals

Two triple doubles in the playoffs isn't enough for that tweet? 
He has been amazing in the playoffs. He was the HUB for weeks. All around great in almost every game.
I get what the post is implying but, he has been a rock the entire time. I guess we need a 40 burger meal deal... go large.

Hey Mitch, where you at?
SGA would have gotten all the whistles

They tried last night but didn't expect Cavs to miss 10 of their FTs.
Or 26 of their threes.

Was Patrick at the game last night? He been to most thus far.
Tim Fugazy? The lessor of the Wilkens brothers? Little Nate? Some royalty are more than others!
Nate had entertainment value and was a freak of nature. Wilson Chandler? Good for him!
Wish some of these guys were more commited when they were here. TT had such great potential for his size. Marbury? We all know how that ended. His star faded quicky but that was on him.
Shump? Saw him some on NBA.TV some. Good potetnial if he maybe cleaned up his look for the masses.
Can we get KiKi Vandeweigh in the house?
Get Oak and Dolan into family counseling?
I mean if Spree can come back, anyone can come back!

LOL, he did that last game too.
OG slides along the baseline, leans in with his shoulder under the basket, Mobley goes boing! spiraling in the other direction, then a bunny lay-in with OG's pinky finger extended like it's tea time

Think he played well, just working his ass off so we don't get killed on the inside. Might take some steam off him being extra aggressive offensively.

Yes. His defense has been crucial and the boxing out of Mobley/Allen has led to many defensive rebounds. He is doing heavy lifting on both ends. Breaking free for points when the game allows it. CLE is the best team we have faced so far and we have found many different ways to win in these playoffs. Different roles each series for each player. It has been amazing. This isn't a cookie cutter approach where everyone has a defined role no matter what. Team basketball. It rarely looks the same night in and night out. As long as it is collectively good for winning, that's all we can ask.

I thought they showed Patrick last night but maybe I'm thinking of game 1
