I got Warriors. But the way Thunders is playing right now, they have a solid chance. Donovan's strategy of not playing both Durant and Westbrook at the same time seems to be very effective.

I like OKC a lot, but have no confidence in them even with after this outstanding series where they proved they could hinder a team that loves to pass and score against a great defense.

Warriors in 5. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't! There's still a chance that Durant leaves OKC if they get soundly beaten by Golden State. Broussard (I know, I know) basically just said this same thing on Sportscenter.

You can also bet that Golden State's bench isn't going to disappear like San Antonio's bench did. I think that will ultimately be the difference in the series. They won't be able to take advantage whenever the stars go to the bench.

WARRIORS!!!!

Sweep the thunder please!!!
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

OKC in 7 but I hope GSW will win, not for KD to come running but because I want the team I think can beat Cleveland Lebrons. I don't think we lure KD no matter the outcome.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Aside from their amazing game 1, the Spurs were pretty bad.
I don't think OKC played that great, although Westbrook deciding to facilitate was a very good move.
Donovan did a good job of forcing the ball into Durant's hands and exploiting any switches.

Kanter and Adams were unstoppable and the Spurs just really missed Timmy Dunvan's presence inside.

I think Warriors in 5 or 6.

I think if anything this series showed that Kawahi Leonard is not and will never be an MVP candidate. He's just not a gifted enough scorer.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

thank you. i've also felt this but i've been scared to say it due to the amount of support for kawhi all around the league and in many people's opinions. he has some good moves, but he seems like a stick with the ball in his hands. his J is also rather flat, not a fan of that too. he's improved offensively a lot. but he shouldnt be the primary scoring option for the spurs.

yet thats ok. as long as he can give them like 18-20 pts a game and excellent defense, he will still be an elite player in the nba.

He's definitely not that guy. I find it preposterous he's finished #2 in the MVP voting. People would take him over LeBron, yeah I don't see that happening.

Taking the Dubs in 6. Going to be some good games tho.
