ST: San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (2-3)

Sheer talent and superstar power vs Team Ball.

Should be a fun series.

OKC backdoor swept the Spurs in 2012.
Spurs won when Ibaka was injured.

This time both teams are healthy. Kawhi vs KD will be good. Spurs can't guard Russ but I doubt him alone will be enough. It will interesting to see how Kanter fares on defense.

This is going to be so sick. Really excited about a blah first round.

With Curry out, this could be the real NBA Finals.

Really excited to finally see some awesome playoff basketball. The first round was so underwhelming. This series has the potential to be a classic. Hard to root for either team since I like them both, but I wouldn't be upset if OKC pulls out the underdog win. The Spurs have won enough.

OKC is the Halal choice.

I would stay up just to watch these games.

Going to be very good.

I still want to see GS (with a healthy Curry) vs SAS

I will never get tired of watching SAS v. (insert any other top WC seed) in the NBA playoffs

Kinda funny how in the same level of the playoffs, we could potentially have SPURS-THUNDER on one side and Toronto-Charlotte on the other side :lol:

Goddamn the East sucks. Even the West's crappy teams have all the potential stars (Towns, Boogie, AD) What future stars does the East have? only one I can think of is Norman powell.

How has Ibaka been this season amd playoffs? I haven't watched many Thunder games but past seasons I remember how important he was and how much of a beast he could be. His blocks per game were crazy, he was a pure energy hustle guy, and he even developed a decent shot. The hype behind him seems to have died down a bit though.
