It's 1 game.

And not deserving to be here?

Thunder definitely played like crap. No way they play like this again.

Didn't get to watch the game, but just wow. Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka need to be in full out attack mode. No reason to sit back and try and out shoot the Spurs, that won't happen. They need to go strong to the basket, Duncan is no where close to being the elite defender he once was, and LA was never a great defender to begin with.

Also, somehow the NBA needs to change their playoff system. Some of these teams don't deserve to be in the playoffs at all (not talking about OKC here). The 7-8 seed always seems to get dominated. When you look at the NFL, you see upsets in the playoffs, same win the MLB, and especially in the NHL. 1st round NBA playoffs are just awful to watch for the most part.

OKC offense is too simple and SA should breeze past them.

Run and gun with Westbrook and KD. They sprinkle in a few plays every now and then but they go when Westbrook goes. Everything starts with him. KD is a great scorer but it stops there. Westbrook is the best player on that team and the Spurs will not get beat by just those two. Ibaka is their best defender and he stands no chance vs Aldridge. Watching them defend the pick n roll last night was just

They need to bounce back in a major way

Which team that's left in the East has the best chance of knocking off the Cavs?

I thought Heat but they struggled way too much with the Hornets.

Toronto has struggled with the Pacers. I think it's the Heat. Heat buckled down when they needed to and went into Charlotte game 6 and were down by like 12 at one point before coming back and winning and then blew them out game 7. Toronto isn't ready just yet. Lowry has struggled, Derozan has struggled but the Pacers outside of George and Turner are s**t. I think Miami beats them in 6

Lol let's see how this game pans out first. I think I still like Miami over Toronto.

Spoelstra proving he's ok without his highness.

Series would've been over a long time ago if he still had him

Cleveland has a free run to the NBA finals I think. But to answer your question I would say Toronto but I would be shocked if it even went 7 games.

I expect a similar outcome to the SA/OKC game today as was Saturday.

Aldridge, in the past, hasn't been the best defender, but he is surprisingly moving his feet very quickly when switching onto smaller players. He's hustling back and forth. Also, there is not one OKC player who can guard him.

Leonard: not one OKC player who can guard him

Duncan: may be old but his length is still a presence in the paint. He still disrupts shots.

So, SA has 2 players nobody on OKC can guard. On the other hand, if we want to shut down MW or Durant, we simply put Leonard on whichever one.

OKC started off well then totally reverted.

Aldridge is automatic this series

If Spurs lose what a waste of an insane game by Aldridge
