It's not even about winning a championship anymore. They are playing Godlike and making everyone else look bad. They went on ridiculous winning streaks in the regular season and have them snapped when Pop BENCHED their starters.
they were 29-14. and are now on a 31-2 run. and 1 of those 2 they didn't play the big 3. that run is only slightly less crazy than the rockets going 24-20 and then going on a 22 game winning streak. at some point you would think they would have an off shooting night after 3 straight months of not having one basically. especially against playoff quality teams. okc better hope the crowd gets them going.
I've said it for about a month now. No team can beat this team 4 times. I picked them to beat OKC in 5, and win the finals in 5. So, 2 losses.
They'll lose eventually. Everyone did. But what a hot streak. Duncan, Parker and Gino, they are getting younger and younger
I still think that the Thunder will win 2 games in this series, and it's not a given that San Antonio can beat Miami in 7 if Bosh is healthy.
An "elite" perimeter defensive team can slow the Spurs down, and they'll face that in the Heat. But they Heat also need to score to beat the Spurs, and that's why they desperately need Bosh back for the Finals. The Spurs just completely toyed with OKC tonight. I myself complete underrated the Spurs. Their offense is ridiculous.
If you follow how the NBA works over the years, home teams get calls that they do not get on the road. I expect OKC to win the next game. The crowd will give them the energy needed to get past the Spurs tomorrow. I don't know about game 4 though that will be a tougher for OKC.
