    Definitely prefer spurs over the thunders in the finals. If it is thunders vs. miami again then miami will win it again like before

    Man I hate the Clippers but they got screwed on a couple of calls at the end, especially the offensive foul on Paul.

    Well we saw in the last series, that the answer is categorically no.

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. In the end, it comes down to having the best player. Durant is a God, so he advances. Harden isn't, so he didn't.

    Honestly, I'm not sure either, but I do believe that the Heat would have an easier time with OKC than SA.

    What does this even mean? We didn't even get out of the 1st round.

    I wanted OKC to beat the Clippers, but this just doesn't feel right.

    The Thunder's roleplayers deserve a lot more credit than you give them.

    I gave him that choker label in '08 when they lost to the Spurs in the 2nd round. He never played in a Conference Finals series, even Melo played in the WCF (against Lakers in 2009)

    That previous game...that was a bad loss...Chris Paul had a bad omen i guess..he was totally defeated after that game....

    Great comeback by OKC...PS. Ibaka and Tony Parker...should be some headline news

    I sort of love it. His whole state farm campaign is annoying as hell, everytime he fails I just say "you gotta pass the ball". I hate both teams so, so, so much.

    It's because OKC didn't earn it. Clips got rawdogged by the refs the last two games - cost them the series. That paul offensive foul, that Westbrook trip...just sickening to watch the refs affect the outcome of the game so much.

    I really wanted Brooklyn to beat Miami as well, but offensively, they fizzled out like the Celtics in 2012 ECF in that Game 7.

    Steven Adams and Nick Collison helped out tremendously...Didnt hurt that Durant caught fire after that Tech sent him to the bench in the 2nd...

    Also not to harp on, but that's a 4 point swing. With the score 93-97 is huge.

    why would you want to watch a collection of overpaid fossils play in the ECF vs garbage Pacer team?

    Miami and Spurs for a rematch. The Spurs get their revenge for 2012...
