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.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
