Zombie Sonics vs Denver - Round 1

[ElNono]

I have Denver in 6 :wow

Who do you have?

[lefty]

Best series in 1st round, along with Mavs-Blazers

I pick OKC in 6

KD is gonna get all the calls

[rayjayjohnson]

Could go either way. Hope the Nuggs can do it but I think this will go with home court

[slick'81]

OKC in 6 am really looking forward to this series though could go 7

[LakerHater]

Agreed!

[ElNono]

It's gonna hinge on Ty Lawson staying in front of Westbrook and denying him penetration... make him beat you from outside, not from the FT line... Karl can come up some good defensive schemes sometimes... Pressure is on OKC, having HCA and needing to improve from last season...

[DJ Mbenga]

it will be half an hour in the game when there is a confrontation and the old double tech

[Otaku]

Denver in 6 or 7

[TE]

Denver has a chance. They probably have the deepest team in the league. Depth sometimes is better than anything, even HCA.

I got Denver in 7

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

If healthy, Nuggets in 7. If the Nuggs don't heal, then the Thunder in 6. A heap of Nuggs players are injured, while the Thunder are healthy.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Nuggets in 7.

[Chaz]

Thunder in 5

[mystargtr34]

OKC in 6.. should be a good series.

[Muser]

Thunder in 5

[Texas_Ranger]

Zombies in 7.

[LkrFan]

I would love to see the Nuggs take out OKC. Shit ain't gone happen though. OKC in 5.

[Giuseppe]

Can't beat this matchup. At default somebody loses.

Media didn't want this that's for sure.

[hater]

Perkins/Ibaka vs. Camby/Nene

damn this is gonna be gladiator style battle

OKC in 7

[tlongII]

OKC in 5. This will not be close.

[Jt.ONE]

OKC in 5

3 close games
2 games won by more than 10

[Venti Quattro]

Perkins/Ibaka vs. Camby/Nene

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Zelophehad]

OKC in 5. They own the fuck out of Denver, pre and post trade.

[Banzai]

I predict 120 points per game by both sides.

[DMC]

It's going to be probably the best opening series. Both teams are capable, no clear cut favorite imo.

[DMC]

:lmao :lmao :lmao
What's funny? Camby will get a couple weak side blocks.

[oh crap]

thunder in 5

[Killakobe81]

Zombie sonics owe denver an ass-whopping from the first 1 vs 8 upset ... LOL

[Killakobe81]

I dont see how yall say Denver doesnt win at least 2 games. OKC is the better team.

but My guess Smith shoots lights out in at least one game and probably shoots the nuggs out of at least two others. Karl has his issues but does pretty well when in the underdog role. I think OKC in 6 ...

[TheMACHINE]

i got thunder...they play similar ball..and when two teams play similar types of ball, you go with the one who has the talent. OKC in 6.

[The Gemini Method]

I would say OKC in 6. The Thunder had lost, what?, 8 straight in Denver before beating them earlier this month? I still think the Thunder are still w/o an offensively efficient big man and that will eventually take them out.

[Spursmania]

OKC in 6

[tlongII]

OKC just beat them home and away. I don't see how anybody could pick the Nuggets.

[Venti Quattro]

What's funny? Camby will get a couple weak side blocks.
Crofl another intelligent, well thought reply

Yeah Camby is still with Denver :lmao

...PREDICTION

There will be no easy games for the Thunder, Denver will make them work for it. But in the end, Oklahoma City is just the better team.

Thunder in 6.

lol GNSF

[KillerMamba]

OKC should win this in 5. They're just way better than Denver and their interior defense and depth are some of the toughest in the league. I'm also not sure Denver can stop Westbrook and Durant.

[KillerMamba]

By the way, why are they called the "zombie sonics?" Is that because the Sonics were dead, and this team rose to life?

It's a Bill Simmons nickname, because no one here seems to read any other basketball writers.
