Thunder win series 4-1 Conference Finals Thunder vs Spurs
The Thunder were handed the torch yesterday vs the Lakers as they pounced them with a 106-90 win in game 5. The crowd was going crazy, Westbrook and Durant again had huge games with Westbrook having 28 Pts and Durant 25. My earlier theory (Courtesy of Skip Bayless) that Westbrook shooting more than Durant will lead to disaster is obliviously wrong, Westbrook has had more points than Durant in most of the games but Durant still had 3 Game winning shots and over 20 points in every game so its not like Durant was sloutching. Westbrook just had a huge mismatch with Sessions and Blake covering him. Now off to the Thunder-Spurs Series I think even with the Thunder problems with the Spurs they have beaten the past 2 champs and know now from both series how to win close down the the wire games. The big matchups are Westbrook vs Parker which is just the showdown everyone wants to see then a huge off the bench battle begins with Harden vs Ginnobli that is going to be fun but with Hardens ability to serge (Ibaka) to the hoop I think this will be the NBA Champ whoever wins this series mainly because of how much the Heat are struggling with the Pacers. My prediction is the Thunder win in 7 which will be a nail biter kind of like the Thunder-Grizzlies Game 7 of last years second round. Game 1 kicks off on Sunday at 8:00 ET lets THUNDERUP!
