GSG!
Gonna be a good one. Need Tony to be healthy.

Gonna be a hell of a series. Probably goes 7. I hope the refs allow the Spurs to breathe occasionally when they are within 6 inches of a Thunder player.
Prediction: Manu fouls out with 2 legit fouls, four stumbles.
Thunder in 5. Los Spurs cannot match up athlete v athlete vs KD & crew

Not in yours, apparently. Bad matchup for Los Spur. Even if they somehow pushed OKC to 7 and won, Los Spur would be physically exhausted vs a hungry and healthy Heat team. If anyone wants to see the heat beat, it is time to pull for your OKC thunder.
I have the Spurs in 6.
OKC in 7.
Spurs in 6, barring another ref job.
OKC in 6.
The league badly wants OKC - Miami, and they've already shown they're shameless in trying to make it happen.
Spurs probably get 2 games early, Thunder manage to win 2 games on their own, and the refs spot them 2 games to keep the marketing of Durant-Lebron alive.
If Indiana hadn't already gone so badly into self-destruct mode, they'd be in for a screw job as well. If for some reason they come out and make it look competitive in the beginning, the officials will shut that series down as well.

If Ibaka's injury is healed and Parker is still hobbled, OKC in 6.
If Parker is healed and Ibaka is hobbled, Spurs in 7.
We absolutely can compete with OKC we just can't have 2013 Finals Manu playing this series or we'll lose in blowouts.

IF and it is a big IF, Parker is healthy then Spurs in 5 maybe 6. OKC just isn't playing that well and honestly were lucky to get through both of the last 2 series. Lots of sloppy basketball.
Durant is ridiculous at times but Westbrook makes a lot of bad decisions and they aren't playing very good team ball. This isn't the same OKC team that beat the Spurs a couple years ago.
More than that though, this Spurs' team is so deep it can continue to throw different lineups and fresh bodies at OKC all night. The Spurs seem to be playing confident and peaking at the right time, they just aren't getting rattled.

I thought only Rockets fans complained about the refs?
I like both teams and think both can win the series, but I'll go Spurs in 7.
Why is every game 8:00 or later?
Spurs in 6.
Time to man up. Bunch of ******* around here.

Games are at 7:30 - 8:00 CT. That covers all time zones. Same as it has always been when you make it to the WCF or NBA Finals but I understand you wouldn't know that.
Lol
We need a good series from Manu. He and Parker are the only ones who will be able to draw foul calls when the Thunder get grabby. They will probably put Sefalosha on Parker again and focus the defense on containing him. For most teams that would spell a lot of open threes, but OKC recovers and rotates so fast that it's going to take a second offensive move to get a decent shot much of the time, which means Ginobili needs to be getting to the rim, Green needs to have that one step pull-up going, and Leonard needs to continue to beast.
Leonard is the other key player. He has to make Durant work extremely hard on both ends.
Last time we played OKC, Green disappeared, Diaw was new, and Leonard was not the player he is today. Hopefully all three of those guys will step up and take some of the load off of Parker.

Yep. Need a solid series from Manu. He's due to string together a few good games.
Saying that, Danny needs to play more and Manu needs to play less. Danny defending Westbrook needs to happen as much as possible. The fact that they play Butler, Sefolosha and Fisher means the Spurs will be able to hide Parker on those guys and let him rest a little on the defensive side of the ball. Which is huge.
Leonard also has to stay out of foul trouble and that's going to be a tough task.

OKC in 3 (Manu and Timmy retire after game 3 beatdown).

I see
If Parker is healthy, then the Spurs take this series.
I also think the Spurs have the best shot at beating the Heat this year, as the Spurs are the only team that stopped the Spurs last year.

Thunder in 6
I'm not a fan of this match-up at all. The Spurs are the better team, but there is so much that can go wrong. I've seen the Thunder get EXTREMELY physical with the Spurs up and down the court with no calls... and then Durant is allowed to drive the basket all game and if he misses the shot they sure as heck are gonna call a foul. It could be a very very frustrating series to watch as a Spurs fan.
I will say this though... if the Spurs are gonna win the series I think it hasto be in 5 or 6. If they let the Thunder hang around instead of finishing them off I don't like our chances.
Let's get it done Spurs!!!

I think Spurs will win in 7. Ibaka and Parker's injury situation could change that projection.
GO SPURS.
Got my Spurs shirt on in the office today.
OP: can you do a post edit and add the game times/network like we've had in the other Spurs threads.
NVM, Guitarsoup got it!
