    Serious thread here.

    We've played them 4 times already and one game was a blowout in their favor.

    But, the other 3 games were totally different. We won 2, one without our starting backcourt. The other game that we lost, we actually had a double-digit lead but just choked it away.

    I say if the refs are unbiased we can push them to 6 at least, and even win the games.

    The only guy I am afraid of is Harden he can take over games and we seem to have no one to stop him. But we do have Chandler "Durant-stopper" Parsons and Dalembert when he shows up can lock down the paint.

    Before people laugh just saying we matchup well with the Thunder, and remember the Warriors taking the Mavs down a few years ago even though the Mavs were the best team that year in the league.

    See my post above

    We are good for two or three wins... but need a closer other than LEE.

    It would be a good series, that's for sure.

    No. Their bigs would know to shut down the lane and front our shooters. Best we could hope for is a 6 game series.

    I don't know whether we will beat them in a 7 game series, but ironically even though they are the best team in the league I feel like we have the best odds winning a series against them.

    We would have to play flawless (or near that) basketball and get some luck on our side AND have the refs call a fair game. If this happens, yes we can win. Even if we don't win, we will give them a fight. I'd rather be 7th and avoid them though

    We need a few upgrades before beating them.

    I think we could take them to 7 though.

    this. Built in bias from the refs can't hide for an entire series.

    Are you serious? Maybe we could steal a game or two but that's about as far as this team can win against them in the playoffs.
