The only weakness they have is a lack of a low post scorer. Kind of similar to the Heat.
I see the Lakers as the only formidable threat to dethrone them. I envision OKC beating the Heat and Spurs though because they are just better versions of those teams.
They have a 3 headed monster on the perimeter kind of like Isiah, Dumars and the Microwave in the bad boy days, same with Durant , Westbrook and Harden.
Spurs match up very well with OKC..
San Antonio's primary flaw is their lack of interior defense, but the Thunder don't have any post scorers, which plays to the Spurs advantage..
A jump shooting team won't beat the Spurs in a 7-game series, especially with home advantage on their side..

I really thought this game would be more competitive seeing that Dallas was in a 0-2 hole. With the way their season has gone, it seemed that they were going to bottom out early in the playoffs but I would at least thought they would have won at least two games in this series. Who knows, maybe they will but I doubt it.

The Spurs are just too smart for how the Thunder play. They can't out-talent them.
If they do beat the Lakers it will be in seven. The Thunder settle for to many jumpshots. While the Mavs can't hurt the thunder in the paint, the lakers can easily take advantage!

OKC in five. Dallas has too much pride to be swept.

maybe so, but he alters shots inside the paint with his shot blocking...good enough for his teammates to cheat on D...plus only being 21yrs old...everything on his side right now. he just needs to hookup with Kate Upton..

You're way ahead of yourself. The Spurs and Lakers have the pieces to do what Dallas couldn't.......slow tempo.Sinant wrote:I see the Thunder beating the Lakers in 5 then getting taken out in 5 by the Spurs.

Too bad they locked the thread about KD's poor performance keeping the Mavs in the series, cuz I would've quoted the crap out of the "I knew Durant's efficiency was a fraud" line right now
And how I wish Cole could get rotation minutes. Dude is 10000000x better than Nazr, and arguably as good or better than Perk against low-usg centers

Lakers are a tough match-up. Too big, too skilled inside, Kobe, championship experience, the best half-court offense and defense...
It will be really fun to watch tho.

As out of reach as this game seems, if you are an OKC fan, you shouldn't talk about the next game, until you see the 0's on the clock.
Grizzlies fans would have made the same bet. But I think you're safe
