OKC vs. the Spurs is going to be an epic series. Both are great teams and both want it badly. Most are thinking the Spurs will win, but I think OKC will prevail because as hard as it is to believe with the Spurs having Duncan and Parker, OKC has the two best players in the series and the depth to support them.
 
I think both teams are overrated and lucky as hell to have avoided Denver and Memphis. OKC should win but if one of their big three can't hit the jumper they'll struggle.
 
Okc wins spurs have no defense and struggle with athletic teams, look at when the clippers took big lead in game 3, okc won't let the spurs back in unlike the cluppers

No defense :lol:

That must explain SA allowing 96.49 ppg with OKC right behind them at 96.94

Nevermind your blanket statement about struggling with athletic teams, where is the proof in this?

Superior logic. Lucky to avoid the two teams that SA and OKC's opponents beat. The same teams LAC and LAL that they swept and beat in 5.

:lol:

i dont recall the spurs ever having an extremely difficult time with the thunder..defer to the 10-2 winning record the spurs have before arriving at this assumption.however,this series will be tough and if durant goes off it could get interesting.i think pop has drawn up something for that and i expect the spurs to execute...

spurs in 6 vs OKC
 
all i know is whoever comes out of the west if its against the heat i will be rooting for the team in the west...i'm hoping its okla city cause i like watching them ball and they got the bigs in perk and ibaka to get physical with the heat...and unless the refs let battier just front the guy coming up for the pick at the high post and get away with impeding the guy the way they did yesterday with west will have no answer for the westbrook pull up and pop 15 footer...westbrook will have a damn field day against the heat

but whoever advances the heats cryptonite is explosive scoring and playmaking pgs they have no answer for them...westbrook tony parker and to a lesser scorer extent rondo no answer...

laugh all you want...i didn't say a lot of guys weren't doing it...i said at the time timmy was probably the worst in the league for it...sure other guys do it...kobe acts like he never makes contact with anyone...but palms up "who me???" that was tim duncan all day long
 
dreday said:
timmy made some pretty goofy faces while doing it,but im not sure how that makes him the worst...

it probably irked me more cause at the time imo timmy was the best player in the league...like i said earlier his footwork and glass work as far as using the glass on his shots etc was MASTERY

so when i see a guy that damn good it bothers me that he feels the need to complain about everything...but you're right a lot of guys do it
