Oklahoman BY JOHN ROHDEMEMPHIS. Tenn. — Kevin Durant, Derek Fisher and Reggie Jackson have all been better than average in the Thunder's second-round playoff series against Memphis. Problem is, everybody else who's been on the floor for OKC has been below average. If Serge Ibaka, Thabo Sefolosha, Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Martin and Nick Collison could have just been average, the Thunder wouldn't be trailing 2-1 in this best-of-7 Western Conference semifinal. These five players need to be average, not heroic. If everybody on the OKC roster not named Durant, Fisher or Jackson could shoot the same percentag...

Canis Hoopus Thunder at Grizzlies (1-1): 4pm Central ESPN After a three day layoff, these two series get going again. These two teams split in Oklahoma City, but I thought the Grizzlies looked like the better team than the depleted Thunder. OKC needs to get something offensively from Serge Ibaka. The Grizzlies have been getting it done how they do, with defense and their bigs. The Thunder need one of these next two in Memphis. Knicks at Pacers (1-1): 7pm ABC The Knicks rebounded from their game one loss to blowout the Pacers in game two. When the Knicks move the ball for open shots they are ver...

Welcome to Loud City During the regular season, Serge Ibaka was an essential and consistent cog of the Thunder offense. He averaged the third most points on the team, and shot higher percentages than Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Basically, he was a touchstone, somebody the Thunder could rely on for a solid 13 points night in and night out. He'd never hurt you on the offensive end, and he was always reliable defensively. Last night, Serge Ibaka continued to fulfill his defensive obligations. He did an excellent job of shutting down Zach Randolph in the second half, and did well to keep him away from ...
Oklahoma City Thunder May 6, 2013Nets Blog | ESPN New York EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez is playing the best defense of his career. Lopez ranks second in blocks per game during the 2013 playoffs, behind Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka (3.5 to 3.4). According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Nets are giving up just 95.5 points per 100 possessions against the Chicago Bulls with Lopez on the court, compared to 118.9 without him. "I just think I really have to attribute that to our team defense," Lopez said.

Welcome to Loud City On the dawn of the third game post Russell Westbrook, the Thunder are still struggling to find an offensive identity. They're obviously having some problems handling the ball, as evidenced by their plethora of turnovers. But that's a result of playing a gimmicky Rockets team that loves to pressure. The more important issue, at least in my opinion, is the Thunder's lack of a secondary scorer. The most obvious options would be the Thunder's third and fourth highest scorers during the regular season. Namely, Serge Ibaka and Kevin Martin. But neither of them have been particularly effectiv...
