    Not mindgames, more a move out of desperation imo. Aside from a confidence boost, I dont see it making much difference with a gimpy Ibaka.

    And people thought the spurs were crazy for saying they doubted he would miss the entire series.

    What I'm hearing is that he can't do any more damage to the injury by playing but he most likely wouldn't be too effective.

    So yeah, he could probably play be he would be at like 60% and playing through pain.

    In other words, he wouldn't help unless there is something the Thunder are keeping from everyone.

    Keep in mind that Questionable is still just 50/50, so we shall see.

    So basically this is a David Lee from last year situation? It was painful to watch him play with that torn hip flexor. Guy looked absolutely dreadful.

    i believe they are just trying to give SA one more thing to prep for,

    i highly highly doubt he plays at all the rest of the playoffs

    Yep. It's a situation where he could probably get out there and not do any further damage but it would be pointless.

    He'll play. " out for season" meant 2 games. "Questionable" he'll be playing. Haha. Spurs will run high pick n rolls on him all day. Let's see him switch onto Tony 20 feet away with a bad calf.

    No way he is playing on Sunday...If they manage to win game 3 then probably in game 4 or 5.

    This is so funny because I thought about this possibly happening after Thursday night's game. My thought was what if Ibaka magically comes back for Game 3, thought it was weird a calf injury would keep him out for the whole series, still he probably saw how bad the team is and heard everyone say theyre losing because he's not playing. I would think he really is questionable and trying to get back because I dont see how listing him as questionable does anything to the mind of the Spurs, wont effect them at all if he's upgraded and then doesnt play. Not sure if he's enough to cover for the margins theyve been losing by, they have 3 guys in the starting lineup and dont score.
