馬刺在Game 5取得關鍵勝利
也讓Oklahoma地區報紙擔憂是否Thunder本季走不過這一輪
因此開始撰文建議Thunder教練可能的變陣方式
而Thunder在Game 5的失利，的確是有促力促使Thunder教頭思考改變陣容
尤其是馬刺打了一穩固(Duncan or Splitter)一活躍內線(Bonner or Diaw)
刻意將禁區擁擠空間清出
我就針對Oklahoma News寫的建議稍微翻譯如下
大家可以討論看看若真得打出這樣的變陣，對馬刺的影響有多少

以下是Oklahoma News給Thunder的三點建議(這不是給Spurs的建議，別搞錯 :))
1. Play a small lineup with Ibaka at center. Brooks often uses a lineup
with Durant at power forward. But in the 71/2 minutes Brooks used the
small lineup in Game 5, he always had Kendrick Perkins or Steven Adams
in the game. But if Ibaka is the center, he would be on Tim Duncan, not
chasing anyone past the 3-point line and thus positioned to better
protect the paint.
扼要翻譯：Thunder改打一大四小，一大是Ibaka。
讓這樣的陣容對上馬刺一假性內線陣容(Diaw或Bonner)，直接讓Ibaka守Duncan
而非被拉出禁區追在三分線遊走的Diaw或Bonner，會比較有效保護禁區。
Such a lineup puts some stress on Durant, who would have to deal with
the burly and creative Diaw in the post, but Durant’s interior defense
has shown itself to get better the longer the game goes. He’s guarded
Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan for stretches of these playoffs. Don’t be
scared of Boris Diaw.
這樣的改變會防守壓力放在Durant
因為他必須對上壯碩且極富創造力的Diaw，但這篇文章認為Durant經過前兩輪挑戰
本身在防守上已有進展。而最後一句則強調：不要害怕肥Diaw XDDDD
Heck, such a move could have residual benefits. Durant might save some
energy, not chasing a perimeter around screens for 20 seconds a
possession.
這樣的改變也會讓Durant保留體力
不需要每一回合都花20秒在閃躲馬刺掩護並追逐馬刺外線或切入者
2. Bring back Sefolosha from exile. Not to start, but to guard Manu Ginobili
off the bench.
The Thunder is having a terrible time defending Ginobili, who absolutely
torched Jackson in a 51/2-minute span of Game 5’s second quarter, with
nine points on 4-of-4 shooting. That’s when the game got away from the
Thunder.
When he was benched, Thabo was in a defensive slump as well as an
offensive slump. I don’t know if Sefolosha can slow down Ginobili. But
I’d find out.
簡單講：Manu在這一輪讓Thunder付出不少代價，Oklahoma News建議把Sefolosha
放回，但並非放在先發，而是專職對付Manu。
3. Play Russell Westbrook more.
更拉長Westbrook在場上時間，Westbrook在這一輪精力充沛，Oklahoma News
建議乾脆讓他打滿全場，因為Westbrook可能是對馬刺最具威脅的角色。
另外，當Thunder沒有雙星或僅剩單星在場上時，往往也是被馬刺超越或拉開比分
的時刻，因此Oklahoma News建議：讓雙星都幾乎打滿全場吧～
OK，討論吧 :)
至於裁判因素，既然我們都只能被動等待裁判表現，那討論裁判也沒多大效益了 :)
