Ibaka is normally a better jump shooter than he was the 1st game. He is no lights-out shooter, but I would not be leaving him open. Sefolosha and Perkins are the two guys you can leave alone for a double team.

At the very least you need to get the ball out of his hands in the 4th Quarter. Make Sefolosha, Harden and Ibaka hit BIG shots down the stretch because Durant will shoot 80% under pressure in a 1 on 1 situation.

I don’t normally agree with KMart, but he’s right. Making Durant a passer is a good idea and it’s definitely better than asking Felton to guard him or KMart for that matter. He’s a power forward why exactly would you want him to guard one of the most dominant wing players in the league. But this is how George Karl coaches, then he pretends it’s the players fault.

k-mart is right they at least should consider trapping a little, it was too easy. if denver wants to get pass these guys, their gonna need to pressure kd. & westbrook.
