Spurs have been on an unreal run. Two losses in their last 31 games, and they've won 18 straight. Lebron is the best player on the planet, and it isn't even close, but there's no one around him and we've seen how that works against the Spurs already.

the exit of chicago, leaving san antonio with home court, sealed the title imo. i also think the okc series wont be as close as most hope. the thunder score off fast breaks resulting from turnovers and missed shots...not something the spurs do often.

OKC in 6

parker/westbrook will be worth watching

spurs/okc has plenty of interesting, if not marquee, matchups.

parker/westbrook

kd/leonard+green

duncan/perk

harden/manu

in general it's going to be interesting to see how the spurs deal with tons of young, athletic defenders flying in to closeout on all their shooters. either it'll be raining threes or raining fouls, depending.

[atrak]

none of the spurs starters can really guard durant. leonard is 6'7'' and green is 6'6''. that's the only real weakness i see. i guess they can double and make durant pass it. it's gonna be a damn good series.

I think It will be a much closer series than some of the predictions I've heard. Spurs are a little deeper than OKC, but they really don't have an answer for Westbrook who is younger, more explosive, and playing better than Parker in the post season. The weight of the Spurs is still being carried by 3 players who are 30 and older, but they still have Popovich who can easily coach circles around Scott Brooks. My heart says OKC, but I think the Spurs will take it in 6.

i think you're giving westbrook a little too much credit. parker is way better than him.

Spurs vs OKC is pretty much the finals. I don't see any of the remaining Eastern Conference teams beating either SA or OKC four times. Doc vs Pop could be interesting though...

Leonard doesn't have the height, but he has the length, athleticism and smarts to make up for it.

[anklspr]

... Nobody can really guard Durant. That's why he's Durant.

i'm not saying he can guard durant im saying it's not his height that'll prevent it.

Yo you guys sleeping on the Heat. Don't like them but James & Wade is still scary.

[atrak]

exciting when they are running on all cylinders. lebron covers so much area on defense. wade kilt it w/ those floating runners. hope bosh comes back for the next series. kudos to indiana, hope they keep improving.

[Dex_star]

fuck the heat

[DJ_Flame]

Game 1 of WCF was great.

Also, Westbrook & Durant donning Tyler the Creator steez.

so much back and forth the first half, felt like an all star game rythm. lets see how the ECF shapes up

miami in 6

Boston will have their ass handed to them tonight

Going into halftime those were three of the worst playoff technical fouls I have seen. Talk about pissy officials, man.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

yeah, there were plenty of terrible calls to go around (though it looked like the celtics took most of them) but more than anything the refs couldn't make their fucking minds up as to how they were calling the game... i can only imagine how annoying that must be for a normal human, let alone KG.

[anklspr]

... It seemed like the refs were calling on attitude instead of actions for a lot that game. It sucks watching a game where the refs have any sort of impact, let alone a playoff game.
