    It'll be funny when Westbrook has a horrible game and people will say Harden's better. Then Westbrook will play great like tonight and Westbrook will "clearly" be better than Harden.

    LMFAO. Not a Spurs fan at all. I just root against the Thunder, Blazers, Jazz, and Lakers.
    Blind hate made your reading comprehension freefall. :p

    OKC has the formula for breaking down "The Machine": Paint and rim protection. Doing that well nullifies the Spurs back door cuts, TP's penetration and allows perimeter defenders to overplay and gamble without being punished each and every time.

    Another huge key this year is Ibaka can guard TD one-on-one and nullify him. He's learned to stay on the floor and not bite on every pump fake. He wasn't a candidate for DPOY, but Ibaka's is a better all-around defender now than ever.

    SA still has home court.
    If this goes to seven I think Spurs win.

    This ain't going seven; Thunder in six. Spurs are done.

    Who do you like between Heat and Thunder? Early, early prediction: Heat in five or six.

    No way they let okc play Miami like this, fouls will be called. Just like two years ago they played the Spurs out of their mind then sucked a$$ in finals.

    It's amazing how absolutely limited the vision is of some people on here.

    Another reason OKC is up big... WB is at least pretending to look like point guard.

    Can Miami match OKC's youth this time around?
