NBA Finals here we come- Thunder vs Spurs.

We might potentially get an NBA Finals rematch too...Spurs vs Knicks lol

The NYK appear to be playing better than either CLE or DET.  Could be their year.

I do wonder how the long layoff will affect them.  They were shooting lights out that Philly series. Just wonder if the layoff will disrupt things to an extent.

I know the Spurs did well in the regular season against the Thunder, but I don't think this will be a particularly close series. Games won't be blowouts, but don't see the series as ever being in doubt.

Based on what? Spurs play well against them and Jalen Williams is injured.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

OKC says he is healthy for WCF.

I think San Antonio will play OKC tough. Wemby's shot blocking at the rim will keep SGA more in the midrange and less at the rim. San Antonio do a great job avoiding fouls. They will be able to minimize his FTAs. They will turn SGA from a highly efficient scorer to an average efficiency scorer. When that happens, OKC's often offense drops off a cliff.

That will make San Antonio competitive in the series. Like Indy was in the Finals last year. And if SAS find a way to get their offense going, they'll be the better side.
