I said in My Playbook earlier today that Thunder Lead Man Scott Brooks missed some Halftime Adjustments in Game 2 and he we need to go Small to see if the Spurs still play their style of Ball.

The Thunder went Small like I said...they took Perk out and had Ibaka and Collison played major minutes and the Spurs never adjusted. 21 Turnovers and 42% from the field later.....San Antonio...WE need to make an adjustment.

I was thinking when they went small Spurs Lead Man Pops made the proper adjustment it was that his players didn't make the adjustment on the floor and the Thunder rolled. When KD, Westbrook, and harden combine for only 47 and the Thunder win...Coach Brooks and his Staff have done the right thing.

Now it is up to the Spurs to make the adjustments for game #4 as we have ourselves a Real Series and it will go 6 at least and most likely 7. The Spurs Core of Dunc, Manu, and TP9 only had 35 on 12 for 32 and they combined for 1 of the Spurs 21 My Bad's.

Everything on the Stat Sheet was about the same except the Spurs were -14 in turnovers and on the Road in the logo that will get you an L 95% of the time unless you shoot it from Deep and they don't.

With Sefolosha adding 19 points and Ibaka chips in with 14 the Thunder look like they are more balanced and they play to where now you have to guard everyone not just the Thunder 3.

The Logo is  Chess match you know what their going to do and they know what you going to do. The Question is can your players out execute their players and make enough plays to win the game that simple. High School and College are the same way except they are not the best players in the World so mistakes in the Logo are compounded and the best in the World will make you pay...hence the Thunder over the Spurs in Game 3.

Game #4 Saturday June 2, 2012......in Loud City
