Perhaps the most exciting match up in the second round.

Game 4 Apr 9 2014

This will be a big test for the Clippers' front court and defensive credentials. DeAndre was huge in the Golden State series, hopefully he gets to do the same thing in this series but I'm not too optimistic.


The key for OKC has always been their defense. They looked shaky against Memphis and now they're facing a team loaded with scoring options. That said, Westbrook is a different beast than Curry and he's not even their best player, so Doc will have a huge task stopping not only Westbrook but also Durant. We have no one that can stop Durant unlike Memphis. I expect KD to hit his stride and put up MVP level numbers again in this series.



Clippers in 7, since Paul is not 100%. We need Re , Crawford and Collison to step up huge more than anyone, bench scoring are the Clips biggest advantage. I believe Ibaka is OKC's X-Factor, they look unbeatable when he's putting up 18 and 10.


Griffin is going to continue beasting this series.

I say OKC outmonkeys the Clippers in 6

this is the gif to use for when the Thunder advance to the Finals, past Jimmy's team.

Both teams looked underwhelming in the 1st round, tbh..

Hoping the Clippers win since I don't want any part of OKC, obviously..

Interested to see how DeMonkey does against a frontcourt with a player taller than 6'9, although it'll be Perkins matched up with him..he's always the X-factor IMO..

Go Clippers

Harlem, honestly, do you think OKC can take the Clippers?
