It doesn't feel anything like 2012, tbh..

I think the Spurs are in better position this time around. Obviously the Thunder are weaker and I doubt that Ibaka is gonna come back and go 12/12 again, but I think the Spurs will be more focused this time around since they won't be on a 20 game win streak.

Leonard is worlds better Splitter didn't even play much this is nothing like 2012. You can expect this every game.

Series doesn't start until somebody loses at home. Anyone celebrating already is getting ahead of themselves, Game 2 isn't over yet

Spurs also looked like a juggernaut in 2012, and looked absolutely unbeatable after going up 2-0 on the Thunder. Many analysts had already written that the Spurs were clearly the best team in basketball. Look how that turned out. The same thing is happening this year.

The difference? No Ibaka and Harden.

The refs took care of it.

I agree with your first part, but ya, like you said, no Harden and no Ibaka..

Both Harden and Ibaka were much more valuable against the Spurs than Westbrook.. Westbrook's style of play just doesn't work against the Spurs, he's so hit or miss..

I believe this is a more mature Spurs team with better cohesion, too..the confidence displayed by Green and Splitter, in particular, is such a difference maker..

I swear I hit submit and that er was saying that LOL

[unleashbaynes]

Not even close. Spurs are just clearly the better team this time around.

[Poolboy5623]

Also, this OKC team is at the end of the line, compared to the hungry 2012 team that looked like they were going to own the West for the next 5+ years..

Harden trade + Durant and Westbrook are nearing the ends of their contracts + good chance that Scott Brooks is finally fired after this series..

Also 2012 we won the 1st 2 by 3 and 8 pts.

[slick'81]

I was gonna say lol no ibaka no harden and we didn't totally beat the outta them in games 1&2
