Spurs or Thunder?

2 teams who are on fire. This will be a great series. Who you got and in how many games?

Spurs. Thunder my be on fire..the Spurs are like lava right now.

Spurs love the shortened seasons. Thunder just have a way of winning these close games though. I keep changing my mind. It will go 6 or 7 games no doubt. I can't wait for it to start.

damn it freak... didnt you call SA winning the west

Yeah but the way the Thunder have been playing has been very impressive also. As long as either stop the Heat if they get that far then I'll be happy with it. Tim Duncan is my 2nd favourite player ever after Scottie Pippen.

Shocked how well the Spurs have played all season long.

Let's get it on!!!

Lakers in 5!


Sad face

Spurs in 6

Thunder. Spurs are like the wnba.

I don't think the current Spurs team is like the WNBA. Maybe a few years ago, but the new Spurs teams moves the ball a ton and racks up points.

I say the Thunder finally get over the hump in 7 under Stern. Without Stern it would of been 5.

2 best teams in basketball right now.

by leaps and bounds, series could go either way tbh

fucking nba, having the lakers play back to back games and now were waiting 6 days for the western conference finals

OKC wins this series in 6. Ultimately setting up OKC vs Miami in the final.

Spurs up 2-0 and looking good.

what a great game by okc last night. 20 strait wins by double digits and then lose 4 strait. Props to the thunder for getting it done.

What makes the Thunder not just big but HUGE favorites over the East representative is the number of big players they can throw at either the Celtics or especially the Heat. KG is playing every bit as good in the post-season as he ever has in his prime, but he is still one player down low. OKC has a bunch of clutch shooting going on on the perimeter to account for as well, but the tipping point if things were close would be their big play.

Preach it! Thunder have been great in close games, they have 3 guys that WANT the ball late in the game. James Harden said it best with his epic 3 in game 5 "shoot with confidence". In big moments that's exactly what they do.

Thunder maybe favorites over the Heat but it is slight. No team can be a huge favorite over a team with possibly 3 of the top 15 players in the league. If Bosh is healthy(which is a big if) then that series is damn near 50-50.

You could argue Harden>Bosh as better 3rd leg of the "Big 3". I don't think Bosh or Harden can be argued as top 15 players. But the 4th best player on the Thunder is a few levels above the 4th best player on the Heat.

If Bosh wasnt on Miami he would definitely be considered top 15 in my opinion. He doesnt get the opportunities that he would on other teams. Harden is awesome though also. This series is going to come down to who plays the better defense I believe. We know both teams can score but who can stop the other? I cant wait for this series.

LeBron, Wade, KD, Westbrook, Kobe, Bynum, Chris Paul, Howard, Rose, Love, Melo, D-Williams, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Dirk. There is 15, you can't even make an argument for Bosh approaching any of those. Now I can list far more are at the very least debatable. Marc Gasol, Blake Griffin, Rudy Gay, Al Jefferson, Duncan and Ginobli, Rondo, Peirce, Nash, Granger I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of.

You can still argue Bosh with a couple of the guys on your top 15 but it really doesnt matter.

Ok, in your opinion which one can you argue he is better then? Cause I would argue that you could add KG to list of better then Bosh. Also Josh Smith could be argued as better.
