This might be the most entertaining series of this playoff. Arguably the 2 best teams in the league head to head for a trip to the NBA Finals. Well, in this one I gotta go with the vets. Experience at this stage of the game almost always trumps youth. OKC has established themselves as a legit contender and powerhouse in the west by taking out LA in 5 games like I predicted. But the Spurs can beat you in so many ways so this test is much tougher. I think the Thunder WILL challenge San Anton and actually take a game or so, but the Spurs are on a mission this postseason. I expect them to beat the Thunder in 6 highly contested games. The Westbrook vs. Parker matchup will be key.

Spurs have looked just about unstoppable so far, but the OKC has been improving with every game. I love the matchup, both of these teams bring a lot of talent off the bench. The Thunder had to rely on Perkins and Ibaka for interior defense against the Lakers, but I think they will go small a lot in this series with Durant at the 4 to help defend against San Antonio's excellent court spacing. Both teams can show a lot of different looks, it should be a great series between the two best teams left

Really feels like a 7 game series to me, I think the Spurs take it thanks to home court advantage

Thunder in 6.

This series might end up being better than the Finals, because I believe whoever makes it out of this series defeats the Heat in 5 or 6 games. Overall, the West playoffs have been way better than anything on the East.

I believe the young Thunder are ready to step up and take their spot as kings of the West

Hate I missed this game. I've been looking forward to this series all playoffs. It personifies the perfect matchup for any sport, older saavy verterans vs. the young and energetic new comers.

I wouldn't bet either way but I think the Spurs coaching staff and the fact that their nucleus has been there with the same coach for all these years and has completely bought into the system will prevail in 6.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
