Thunder/Spurs

[joey54]

Maybe one of the best potential series in the NBA playoffs in some time. Both teams playing at a high level. This one is going to be great.

Having lived in SA for 10 years I am a bit biased but I don't see anyone stopping the spurs. Pop is an amazing coach and the whole team is playing at such a high level I don't see them losing anymore than two games max. Ginobli is better than Harden, Parker is better than Westbrook (although not as freakishly athletic), and I think the other role players on the spurs are better than those on the thunder. KD is the main player that I see OKC having an advantage but I have a feeling Pop will have a plan for that. Cant wait to watch though, going to be entertaining.

[joey54]

I agree with you Luke. This series is going to be their toughest test and as of now seems like the true championship. Great game one. Ginobili has been my favorite player for some time.

lets go Thunder

I really don't get how people can say this spurs team is boring...

[Cards]

I use to think they lacked emotion, at least during the regular season. This post season though, they're on fire. I was looking forward to Thunder/Heat (or Celtics), but based on the previous two games it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

[joey54]

They are every bit as exciting as the Kings from about 10 years ago used to be. OKC can still make this a series. They are without a doubt the future of the NBA if they stay intact. This matchup storyline wise reminds me of the Celtics/Pistons of the late 80's.

OKC really came out of the gate strong tonight. Glad to see that this is turning into a great series.

[joey54]

The tides have turned for sure. As for the east, Celtics should be up 3-1 right now.

[ncsuLuke]

Well I will go ahead and take a big heaping spoonful of that crow right now. Still think the Spurs can pull it off but they are sure making it harder on themselves.

OKC has one of the loudest stadiums in the NBA. A as much as I would love to see this go to game 7, I don't think it will. If it does go to game 7, I think the Spurs will win, but I don't think OKC will let that happen tomorrow.

[Cards]

Now for Boston to beat Miami, we're in for a good show.

[joey54]

OKC could reign for a long time. It is unbelievable they are only the 4th western conference team in the finals this century. And the 5th since the last time the Sonics were there in 96. Sonics/Thunder, Jazz, Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks for the last 17 years.
