I think a telling stat is that OKC hasn't turned the ball over that much.

84 turnovers so far (spurs at 89).

One of the weaknesses OKC has had are that they can be turnover prone.

Exactly! That means the Spurs would have to go at them with good defense the whole possession as OKC takes good care of the ball. Man, these stats are also telling how OKC are trying to patch up their weaknesses. Pretty good stuff tbh.

great stat to are these:

spurs opp FG is .415 (reg season = .452) , oppt pts/game = 87.3 (96.5), oppt 3pt fg = .349 (0.353).

Seems like the Spurs defensive presence has improved. I wouldn't say they are spectacular, but I think its strong, especially considering the pace they play at offensively.

If the Spurs and OKC reach the WCF, those are two teams that are just priming for a championship run! :toast

Spurs vs Thunder will be a memorable matchup. It's going to come down to who makes the least mistakes.

they are jumpshooting offense. Iso and bum , or screen, pass , bum. You cant turn the ball over too often in such sequence

I think Danny Green is more valuable than George Hill for us. He can guard 1-3 and play 1-3. His defense is more consistent and he is more consistent in hitting big shots.
