Nothing in the Logo like the Elimination Games referred to in the Logo as Close Out Games. Teams looking to Close Out need a Certified and Verified Logo Closer.....like the Thunder's Durant 66.

Teams not trying to get closed out need Logo Certified and Verified Winners with Larry O'Briens behind them with Big Valentine's like TP9, Dunc, and Gino of the Silver and Black...Riverwalk Texas Contingent.

After leading 2-0 and now down 3-2 here is what the Spurs need to do to stave off elimination and head  to Game 7 back in their comfort zone.

SPURS

One thing is for certain the Three Aforementioned Spurs....TP9, Dunc, and Gino will not go quietly. They need to get TP9 back into his comfort zone where he is attacking the lane  and creating for others. I would like to see Higher Screens but set by Gino as the Spurs need to put their best Two Perimeter Players in the Pick and Roll or Pick and Pop. This would force the Thunder not to just lock in on either and will get both released into Space where Gino and TP9 can do damage.

Dunc also needs to win all of his One on Ones and they are going to leave him Isolated on Ibaka, Perk, or Collison. Dunc needs to face up and more to get that Patented  Mid-Range Bank Shot off, take anyone of those Three off the Bounce, or when all else fails get better position and re-post.

The Players playing Extras.....Kawhi, Danny, Boris, the Red Rifle...Bonner, and Captain Jack must come up Big also and outplay the Thunder Bench which includes Big game James 2.0. Spurs need to pick their Spots and transition and not slow the game down but win all the hustle Plays and control Uncle Russ...the Point God of Loud City.

THUNDER

They know they will get Pops and his Boys Best Shot as you better never ever Underestimate a Valentine of a Champion. Having said that the Thunder need to stay locked in on TP9, Leave Dunc One on One until he starts winning that Battle decisively and outplay the Spurs Bench.

Durant 66, Uncle Russ, and Big game James 2.0 are going to get theirs just Limit the Splash Plays. Splash Plays are of the ...I am going to make a Play and loud City will erupt...A game-Changer. If the Spurs can also keep the Semi-Closed and force the Thunder to shoot more jump Shots (like in Game 1&2...Spurs Wins) the Spurs may have a shot.

Durant must play like he has been playing in letting the Game come to him and feed off of Uncle Russ and Big Game's Floor Game. Perk has to be Perk, Ibaka needs to be s disruptor defensively, and Collison needs to stay Team Elmer's Glue....and the Thunder should be advancing to their 3 Final Appearance and 1st in Oklahoma City.

The Seattle Supersonics (before they moved to OKC) Won the 1978-79 Chip with the likes of Gus Williams, Jack Sikma, the late great Dennis Johnson, and Downtown Fred Brown to name a few. The 1995-96 Sonics with Lead Man George Karl, the Glove, and the Rain Man lost to the Jordan, Pip 33, and the Zen Master in 6 that year.

I would pay Bill Gates to see the City of Seattle going complete Space Needle if the Thunder were never the Thunder and back in Seattle. Nothing to take away from Oklahoma City (which is a wonderful Small Market Franchise run like the Spurs) but it's just that the Sonics had a Unique Franchise and this would have put that Great City back on the Map.  

Game 6 Tonight......Spurs have their BACKS against the Wall......
