Looks like Miami is going to make quick work of the Celtics. I'm taking the Heat in 5.

I still don't have a warm and fuzzy on how the WCF will play out. I like what I saw from both teams on Sunday.

It has the looks of a 7 game series and the Spurs obvioulsy have the advantage in a game 7.

When the Spurs keep the turnovers I can't see any team beating them.

Agreed. They coughed the ball up like mucus on Sunday and were still leading by 10+ in the 4th.

Haha forget to tell you congrats on the series win. You guys were the better team I hope y'all beat the Spurs! I have the Spurs winning, but it'll be a tough 7 game series.

Thanks man, appreciate it! And appreciate you saying so about us being the better team and rooting us on against the Spurs.

Game 1 was hard to watch as a Thunder fan. Having that 9 point lead and letting it go was rough. What killed us was not having Ibaka in to patrol the paint. Too many uncontested layups. Don't know why Brooks kept him out. I think our players outplayed the Spurs, but Pop got the best of Brooks. Here's hoping Brooks adjusts for Game 2.

Gotta give it up to Spurs fans, they were all really classy. I've now been to Thunder games in LA (Clippers), Dallas and San Antonio, and the Spurs fans were the classiest of the bunch.

Yep they had 14 in the first half I think and only went in down 1. Once they cut them down they completely took over.

Scott Brooks taking Ibaka the Blocka out was a major mistake. Then it was a layup drill and put SA on the FT line so much it was unreal.

Exactly what I've been saying.

I can't believe some are saying OKC is gonna get swept. I still see it going the distance. I just can't see a team that features Kevin Durant who's argurably the best player in the game, Russell Westbrook, one of the top guards in the game, and James Harden one of the top 2 guards in the game getting swept. Those three guys will be able to at least get a game or two.

if serge would have been in there the spurs would have gone to duncan more, and he cant guard duncan one on one, they would have needed to double, and the spurs would have gotten better looks at 3s. im sure they will go with ibaka tonight if they go small, and this will be evident if thats the case.

i dont think okc is gonna get swept, but its just as likely that they do as this series going 7. i say that because all the games will probably be close, and we all know who has the advantage when it comes to late game execution. i still think it will be a super close, super competitive 5 game series win for the spurs because of that.

Ibaka did a pretty good job on Duncan when he was in there. Ibaka is a great defender. He defended Nowitzki and Gasol very well in the playoffs. I don't see Duncan dominating that matchup.

most of the game he wasnt guarding him, the only time i clearly remember him guarding duncan, he got spin moved for a layup. Duncan is simply too big for ibaka to guard regularly, he will wear him out, its just a bad matchup. he can do it in spots, but not for prolonged periods

lol, they clearly switched the water last minute! if he really was gonna do it i would hope he would bring a brita water filter and run it through that first.

ALMOST GAME TIME!!! GO SPURS GO!!!!
