The Spurs are going to have Kawhi Leonard on Durant to start this game. That means more walking the ball up the court for the Thunder and allowing Durant to get iso position on the block against him. They will want to try to expose this matchup from the getgo, so that means getting into their sets. Westbrook will worry about pushing the ball later.
Parker is going to run through a lot of pick and rolls tonight, and that means lots of switches with Ibaka on him. Parker will utilize that floater in this series, but Ibaka will definitely block some of those shots. However, i think we will see multiple pick and rolls in just one shot clock, and the Spurs will try to play controlled and efficient. Lots of shots taken late in the shot clock. I think the THUNDER will do a good enough job closing out the Spurs 3 points shooters early on.
When Ginobli and Harden come in, the game will speed up a bit and we'll see more free throws and transition opportunities.
Haven't really thought too much about the pace of this series, so I'm only throwing a hundred on it.
