What makes you think this SAS team would make it an all-time WCF series?
Not trolling. Just wanted to get your take on what you see from this Spurs team that makes you think they have any shot against the Dubs

fact you think either OKC or the Spurs have a legitimate shot at GS is pretty hilarious
SA taking GS to a game 7 is more likely than what OKC has done to SA. There's not a person who follows the NBA who would have told you the Thunder could win two on the road this series.

The way we're playing right now, we don't have a shot vs. GSW. At all.
Hell, it's not a given we make it past this round. Like I said before the series.

Duncan being absolutely nonfactor is a huge issue for the Spurs.

But overall I've been consistently right about them for six years. Until they actually win the series, I expect them to blow it.
When have they "blown" a series they're supposed to win? You must have very broad definitions of blowing a game or choking at the end
Last 2 years KD and Russ get hurt. They make it to a finals way earlier than expected. So what do exactly have you been right about?

Statistically, this year's Spurs and Warriors are two of the top seven teams of all-time. It would be the most total wins ever between playoff opponents and the best combined offensive and defensive efficiency ratings in history.
You could make a very solid argument that it should be projected as the greatest playoff series ever beforehand.

2 on the road? No
But anyone who follow the NBA, like you claim, would know the thunder have given SA trouble in the postseason in the past
But I know you just don't like the thunder and post out of bias

OKC's ok defense and their turnover prone offense is a terrible matchup against GS.

Spurs biggest strength, depth, is severely minimized in the playoffs. That Spurs go 12 deep and OKC only 7-8 doesn't really mean much in a playoff series. But it really is reflected in reg season record. these teams are pretty evenly matched.
their depth is big, but their top 8 are just as good as any team's. they've always been evenly matched.
the biggest issue right now is steven adams, he's the difference maker right now defensively and definitely taken his game to the next level.
the thing OKC has going for them as well is the 4th quarter woes that have haunted them all season has taken a turn, they're the team people expected right now.

This, OKC's style makes them very susceptible to those 90 second 10-0 runs GS likes to go on. They are turnover prone, Westbrook tends to take bad shots resulting in long rebounds and their transition defense is something like 18th in the league.

I don't like Westbrook, my opinion of the Thunder is driven by their consistently predictable showings in certain situations.

No. No they're not. They have 4 way over the hill players. And their best 2 offensive players rely on the mid range jumper way too much. I had a good idea that when crunch time came and they had to rely on the Duncan's, ginos and parkers that you would see them come up short. Just like they did last season. This series ain't over, but it doesn't look good at all.
Posted on 5/10/16 at 10:04 pm to Roger Klarvin
They are too predictable, sure
But you act like they've just consistently blown series they should have won in the past. And they really haven't

We don't have an answer for him with Duncan's basketball mortality staring him in the face.

OKC has played marvelously late in all their wins

Something you would think would be the other way around with Spurs closing it out late like they've always done.
Posted on 5/10/16 at 10:10 pm to jg8623
To be fair, SA hasn't played a lot of close games into the 4th with this particular core (RE: aging Duncan and Aldridge). I can think of maybe a handful this season. They've either blown teams out or been blown out.
They're not as comfortable as they should he late with the pieces they have.

Duncan fell off a cliff this year production-wise. Had to happen sooner or later.

Whatever man. Keep predicting Thunder losses. Your certainty that the Spurs would win these games has helped us big time.
