I am so sick of the Spurs having luck go their way to get to the finals. OKC with the best record last year (after taking the Spurs out the year before in the WCF), but then they lose Westbrook. OKC this year sweeping the Spurs in the regular season but then losing Ibaka, allowing Duncan to go against Perkins and Collins or a rookie. Dallas being upset in the first round in 2007 when THEY had the best record, and then we lose Diaw and Amare to suspensions after getting HCA with three games left, then they get to face Utah in the WCF and a weak Cleveland team who had a relatively easy road to the finals (when the other side of the bracket in the east had the tougher teams going against each other).
Huge blow to OKC losing Ibaka. They are starting to have the kind of luck we had in the postseason when we became a contender. We had all those injuries in 2006 and then the stuff in 2007. And losing JJ for the WCF in 2005.
I really hope OKC can somehow bounce back and that somehow Ibaka comes back at some point, but that doesn't look good.
If SA gets to the finals against Miami, that will suck, because I don't want to see either team win it all. Hopefully Indiana continues their tear after Hibbert got back to form and gets past Miami and beats SA in the finals if they meet up, but that's a pretty tall order for them.
