Serge Ibaka admitted that his confidence is "waning."
"Yeah," Ibaka said when asked if his confidence was an issue. "It's normal, man. It's normal. A little bit. Of course, that happens to everybody." Ibaka has been missing in action since the second round began, and the Thunder need him to step up alongside Kevin Durant to get back into the series against Memphis. May 13 - 8:06 AM

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka missed a wide-open shot at point-blank range in the last second of Monday's loss to the Rockets, finishing with eight points, five boards, two assists and three blocks.

On the last play of the game, Reggie Jackson (18 points, four boards, three assists, two steals and two 3-pointers) missed a shot from five feet and the ball ended up in Serge's hands with nobody around him, but his shot didn't have enough on it since he short-armed it. Ibaka was outstanding on shots at the rim this year, making 77.4 percent of his attempts, so the miss was a mild shock. He'll look to atone from the miss on Wednesday in Game 5.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka had 17 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and a 3-pointer on 7-of-11 shooting in Sunday's easy Game 1 win over the Rockets.

Ibaka has added the 3-point shot to his arsenal, and his three blocks tonight were all highlight reel worthy.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka shot 7-of-11 from the field for 17 points with seven boards, one steal, three blocks and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes against the Warriors on Thursday.

While he's known mostly for leading the league in blocks, Ibaka's offense has been outstanding all year. He's shooting 57 percent from the field thanks largely due to the improvements in his jumper. This year, he's shooting 48 percent on jumpers compared to just 39 percent last year. He'll be flirting with first-round value in drafts next season.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka blocked five shots to go with 16 points and eight boards on 8-of-14 shooting in Tuesday's 90-80 win over the Jazz.

He's racking up the blocks these days and averaged 4.4 per game over his previous five. Ibaka leads the league in blocks this year and he should be able to retain the lead. His offensive improvement has helped him put up first-round value in standard leagues.
Apr 10 - 1:07 AM
Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka made all six of his field goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Knicks, scoring 13 points with six boards, five blocks and one 3-pointer.

He raised his season field goal percent to 57.2 and also increased his lead in blocks per game to 3.08, which is ahead of Larry Sanders' 2.90. Ibaka is holding first-round value on the season in standard leagues and his durability should make him a fantasy stud for a long time.
Apr 7 - 4:15 PM
Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka double-doubled in 34 minutes on Thursday with 11 points and 11 boards against the Spurs.

He added three blocks and maintained his lead for blocks per game over Larry Sanders. Ibaka's 57 percent shooting this season has put him just outside of first-round value and it's nice to see Scott Brooks keep him in the lineup just about all year long.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

The Thunder won Saturday's game with a big lift from Serge Ibaka, who finished with 16 points (7-of-8 FGs), seven rebounds, and a season-high eight blocks.

Ibaka helped lock up the Bucks during a game-ending 22-5 run that gave OKC a comeback road win against a playoff-hungry team. He has also overtaken Larry Sanders for the league lead in blocks per game, and he helped his case immensely tonight as Sanders finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and not a single blocked shot.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka had seven points, seven rebounds, a steal and four blocks in Wednesday's easy win over the Wizards.

His scoring and rebounding have dropped off lately, but the blocks are still rolling in. Russell Westbrook added 21 points, four boards, four assists and a 3-pointer, and Kevin Durant had 20 points and just two turnovers in the cake walk.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka scored 16 points and blocked five shots vs. the Blazers on Sunday, as OKC won at home to improve their record to 52-19.

Ibaka only grabbed three rebounds, but he sank 7-of-9 FGs and his offensive development can hardly be overstated -- he's averaging career-highs in points (13.3), FG percentage (56.9 percent), FT percentage (75.0 percent) and even assists (0.6).

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka bounced back from a couple of slow nights with 14 points, 13 rebounds, one steal and five blocks in Friday's win over the Magic.

Ibaka hit 5-of-11 shots and logged 36 minutes, and it looks like all is well again after a few head shots and some Scott Brooks magic slowed his roll.
Mar 22 - 10:46 PM
Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka had just two points, six rebounds, a steal and two blocks in 22 minutes of Wednesday's overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

Ibaka was playing with a cut over his eye that required stitches and it was bleeding during the game. He played through it, but has really cooled off over his last two games. The Thunder get the struggling Magic on Friday, and there's no reason to think Ibaka won't bounce back. Ironically, one of the biggest problems the Thunder have is utilizing a big man to get them easy buckets, but the capable Ibaka looks like the fifth scoring option for Scott Brooks. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined to make just 18-of-58 shots tonight, which is another reason the Thunder lost.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka (eye) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Ibaka was hit in the head by an accidental elbow from teammate Reggie Jackson on Tuesday. The hit left Ibaka on the floor and bloodied but the injury has healed enough for him to play. Owners who were concerned Ibaka would sit Wednesday will want to get him back into their lineups. Ibaka has been playing well of late but will have to contend with Memphis' beastly frontcourt duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol on Wednesday.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka caught an inadvertent elbow to the head from teammate Reggie Jackson on Tuesday that left him on the floor and bloodied.

He finished with six points, two rebounds, a steal and three blocks in 24 minutes, left the court under his own power and supposedly could have returned to the game. We're guessing he's fine and will be ready for Wednesday's game at Memphis, but owners will want to check back just to be sure. Ibaka had scored in double figures in four straight games and double-doubled in two of them, so fantasy owners have to hope he plays and returns to form against Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Serge Ibaka - F/C - Thunder

Serge Ibaka racked up his 13th double-double of the season vs. Dallas, scoring 18 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in 40 minutes of action.

Ibaka made 7-of-11 FGs and he blocked three shots, as usual, which helps take the sting out of his 3-of-8 FT shooting. The Thunder finish the regular season with a mediocre weekly schedule of 4-3-3-3-2.
