Ethan Strauss said today that the Warriors want to maintain the #1 seed, it's important for them because if San Antonio gets #2 then they will most likely play the Thunder first not the Warriors. I just think OKC is a bad matchup for the Spurs.
Again, the Warriors don't scare me too much. They're obviously a great team and might have the best offensive numbers ever, but their interior defense is suspect and we have 2 guys tailor made to slow down (not stop, but slow down) the Splash Brothers. Spurs in 6 if Pop doesn't do some stupid .
On the other hand, the Thunder cost me $75 for a new bedroom door in early June 2012. I fear and hate them more than I fear and hate ISIS. They are the devil, they have the refs in their pockets, and they are a determined force to be reckoned with. If their shooters outside of Durant/Westbrook make shots they are impossible to stop no matter who you have. In the 90s they would have had 5 championships by now. I fear them above all.

Gonna be tough for the Spurs to make it out of the west tbh. Looks they either play GS or OKC in the 2nd round if the standings stay somewhat the same.
Missed that, best we can hope for is that OKC falls to 4th.
i'd almost rather tank and get the 4 seed to get GSW in the second round, but that almost assures that we'd have a worse record than Cleveland which would kill our ultimate end goal. Also there's no guarantee OKC would lose before the WCF in that case, so it's a dumb idea altogether.
RIP still bitter over 2005.
Might be worth considering tbh. No way in we beat both OKC and GS. We'd be drained physically and mentally if we get past OKC.
Not sure why any Spurs fan is afraid of the Thunder these days. The whole issue with that match up was Abaka scaring the out of Tony/Manu/the Spurs' drive-and-dish game. With the additions of LMA/West and the shift in offensive system the Spurs are no longer playing into his strengths. Defending Durant and Westchimp hasn't been much of a problem throughout the years.
In spite of all the press, the Thunder are a s of that 2012 team. They are short one Harden, replaced by NOTHING on their current roster, and their best post and wing defenders in Perk and Thabo.
Would the league rather have a GS/Spurs WCF or a GS/OKC WCF? That's the reason I fear the Thunder.
If both teams remain the clear two best teams, Dubs/Spurs.
The Thunder aren't winning ... they don't even look as good as they were two years ago.
Idk, OKC still has star power and I'm sure they'd draw more ratings.
Non-issue
If what ex-NBA stars thought about the Spurs actually came true, we would literally have zero championships.....not FIVE!!!!
Not really. Everyone, the media, the fans, are already hyping up a GS-Spurs some of the media even calling it a "dream match-up" plus you cant go wrong with the past 2 champions angle also, kawhi vs curry, best defense vs best offense.
Unfortunately both ways this could happen (Spurs getting 1st seed, OKC getting 4th/5th seed) look pretty unrealistic at the moment. Then again we're only halfway through December so who knows.
So is Chauncey Billups. Billups admitted it on ESPN. He said he had a respectable hate for the Spurs after losing that year.
that's why the best outcome is facing OKC in the semis, then facing us in the conference finals. ratings-wise imo
I always sensed Greg Anthony hated the spurs also. Memorial day miracle shot probably still gives him nightmares.
Greg Anthony has other problems. Like forgetting it's illegal to solicit and pay for sex...
truth bomb
It's not a problem until you breathe on them and the whistle blows.
Richard Jefferson just killed the Thunder. Let that sink in.
