    Really pulling for the Spurs, but I think it's OKC in 6.

    Spurs in 5 if Parker is healthy, 6 if he is not.

    Spurs in 6, followed by Spurs in 6 over the Heat in the Finals.

    It's a toss up for me. At their best, OKC's peak is better (Durant/WB). But Spurs are more consistent.

    I'm leaning towards OKC as I have all playoffs.

    I just want to watch Durant v. Lebron.

    First time since 2005/2006 that 3 of the 4 teams were in the final 4 back to back.

    Spurs are better matchup against the Heat. If Thunder advance, barring 5-6 hot games from Durant, they are going to lose.

    I want to root for OKC, but I know the Spurs have a much better shot against Miami.



    It's tough.

    I don't...because I know Miami would smash them in 5, maybe 6 (and that is only if Durant goes GOD Mode).

    I say Spurs in 6 due to Pop's coaching being better than Brooks

    Leonard should be able to slow down KD a little but who can stop WB? especially if parker is hurt. Hoping Spurs win tho

    Man oh man I am pulling for the Spurs.

    Still hating on the NBA for the game 5 win against the Clippers (and I hate the Clippers) The league is steadily developing into a farce.

    Hopefully the (seemingly) only organisation to not give a F what the NBA wants - does it again and sends KD packing.

    Gotta pick the Spurs because of how both teams have played so far in the playoffs. If OKC brings their "A" game, they will win but that doesn't seem likely.

    If TP is fully healthy AND Ibaka isn't, OKC has no chance at all. They need Ibaka to guard TD along with his jump shooting and offensive rebounding.

    WB must match TP's production, keep his head screwed on and not get flustered trying to keep up with him. Thabo will have the initial assignment while WB guards Danny Green. But if Thabo fails offensively, Bonehead won't be able to keep him on the floor.

    Giving KD and Kawhi Leonard a series to size each other up will be interesting. That gives Leonard an advantage.

    OKC is the one team I don't think Pop has a grip on how to beat.
