NEW YORK — TNT's studio savants were in peak blather last week after the Spurs outlasted the Dirk Nowitzki-less Mavericks. During probably the show's most coherent 5-minute segment, not one of the four could name the Thunder's best big man, because evidently they don't believe the team has a best big man.
I could have sworn 208-cm Serge Ibaka averaged two blocks in six playoff games against the Lakers, but Chris Webber emphatically informed us Oklahoma City "had no shot-blocker last season."
(FYI: Ibaka is averaging 2.3 snuffs, 6.7 rebounds and 9.7 points in 26 minutes this season.)
