Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
This is going to be a tough series for my Spurs. Them OKC boys can run and I know they're hungry after losing to those sucka Mavs last year. I still got the Spurs winning because of the overall experience and bench play. Series is going no less than 6, but I'll take a sweep.Originally posted by OriolesfanRD Favorite Teams- Baltimore Ravens

Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
Taking away the usual suspects, who do y'all think will be the X-Factor in this series?
Usual Suspects:
OKC: Durant, Westbrook, Harden
SAS: Duncan, Ginobli, Parker#WashedGamerComment

The chess match of how OKC will guard SAs two stretch 4s without giving up too much paint presence should be interesting....Comment

Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
I have said Spurs in 5 before this series even started and I am going to stick by it. If I am wrong oh well but I don't change predictions once I give them unless it is a drastic change. So SAS in 5.My Wii U ID is Mikeatris and Mathematik.

Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
I see Kawhi and S-Jax being the wild cards for the spurs. They should be able to get some good looks. I believe OKC will be busy and/or tired from guarding all of the other threats.Comment

Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
Honestly I think his shot selection isn't really much different than what it was last year except that his shot is falling in. That same pullup jumper that he was bricking like crazy last year, which drove some people crazy is falling in now.
And to think people actually said they should trade him or let him walk and start Eric Maynor instead of signing him.
I also feel like he tried to get at the rim way too much last year. Pretty much what Harden's doing now, lol, but Westbrook was trying to dunk or get fouled every time and that act wore thin. Overall, he seems to be making smarter decisions with his shots. It seems like the rotation with him and Harden has been better too... maybe another year of experience helping to increase Harden's role and impact has helped Westbrook too.
I also feel like the forum didn't really go off on Westbrook until the conference finals so we may need to pump the brakes on this for a min.
If you don't think they'll win 4 games then you basically just think the Spurs will win? Likely in 7 (with OKC winning 3 games)?Comment

I thought the fact we don't foul would be a big advantage for us....we are #2 in the league in this stat...
Then I learned who was #1

Re: WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
i think he will be the main reason if either the thunder wins or loses. he is gonna have to play smart at all times. meaning he must stay out of foul trouble, keep the turnovers to a minimum, and score efficiently.
SAS: Diaw, Bonner, Ginobli.
i think the fact that these guys have good outside shots will force Ibaka to guard them. that in turn will take Ibaka away from basket which is where he wants to be. its gonna be crucial that these guys be to hit their shots consistently.
as for Ginobli, i think he is gonna need to score a little more in this series. so far is only averaging 11 points a game through the first 2 rounds. may need to be around 15-17 in this series."on hoping there is a PSN flash sale before Valentine's Day"
Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
yea but will they take psn cards
