Agree. The spurs are built specifically to beat okc. They would probably beat the Knicks but it wont be just mopping the floor with them.

Okc is just a beast that would dominate the Knicks but have to get by the team literally constructed to beat them. They just need to sit j dub this game 7. Him attempting to play last night killed them.

On cue, j dub is listed as out for game 7. Bet the house on okc

Hasn’t j dub not really played much this season?
That McCain acquisition could tilt the series.

Yeah but playoffs are different and spurs are looking like a juggernaut in the making before long. If theres one roster that can weather an injury, its OKC. But thats not a theory Id want to test in game 7.

The Knicks have done admirably in accomplishing what they have this year. Emirates Cup Winner. Eastern conference champion.

And now we are down to the most anticipated Western conference finals that we could ask for. Flip a coin ? No.

Sticking with OKC in 7 - because they will get more out of their bench (as they have been) and having a home game there has got to make them confident ... to overcome this Spurs juggernaut of a team. It's been a fun series to watch.

The Spurs are coming. They may already be here a year early. Whatever happens this season barring injury they are here for several years.

OKC is too. They have a couple years with this core before salary cap issues might derail them.

Okc likely wins game 7, but a risky move. Its not like OKC and SGA looked great all series. I think the Spurs have more more room to their ceiling and wouldnt be shocked if they can beat OKC.

J dub barely played and when he has its a noticable drop off from other guys. His minutes last game started the avalanche that ended up in a runaway victory. He was -17 on a second unit that usually dominates. He just isn't healthy enough to be playing.

I agree sas can absolutely win this game and have a higher ceiling. I still think okc wins because its at home and they sat the weak link, but anything can happen when you have wemby and that young core.
