OKC is not a great team, they tried to throw Games 2, 3, and 5 away in the last minute. The Spurs were just even stupider and only took their gift in Game 3.
Yeah, their record doesn't suggest it and they will get swept by GSW or the cavs.
But they have two top 10 players and legit athletic role players with size.
Their lack of sophistication and focus is moot when they have firepower and energy.
This is not a rookie team. They've been in the playoffs consistently for five years. And they are 100% healthy.
Definitely not a perfect team, but their shortcomings are far less than the spurs. You can't say their talent is less than ours after the first 5 games. Their talent underperformed in the past. ours overperformed.

I mean....kinda....?
They choked like ten RS games iirc, but they were a historically great rebounding team and its continued in the postseason.
Not really, they're just way younger and their 2 best players are better SCORERS than our best players.
They have one of the worst supporting casts in recent memory. And a defense you could hang 110 on with ease

Some great team.
Lol, a couple of ref calls here or there and Spurs have won in 5 and we are preparing for Golden State.
They are not a great team...we are just a ty team.
Spurs fan needs to stop rationalizing this . This is incredibly embarrassing to be getting handled by the Thunder. This would be like losing to the Blazers in 2014.
Extraordinarily beatable. They'll crumble severely against the Warriors. I still think the Spurs are the best match up against the Warriors....regardless of this series.
A great team? OKC?
Nah, we're losing to a ty TEAM with 2 great players.
Don't be misled. OKC is better than the Blazers or Houston, but they overachieve against the Spurs. Scrubs like Waiters and Ibaka go Legend Mode against the Spurs, but they will fade to black against GS. The Warriors take them in 5. (The Warriors will have an off shooting night one of the two games at OKC.)
I can somewhat agree with this.
Series should be over and Spurs should be preparing for GS
Right there with ya.
Couldn't score more than 91 pts against the thunders defense, Imagine draymond guarding aldridge or parker guarding curry?warriors wrap it up in 4 possibly 5
Ehhhh, id have to look for another comparison.
Maybe losing to Seattle in 2005. Or Utah in 2007
The Thunder are an excellent team. They are making us look like frauds and jokes. Stealing homecourt from us when we just lost one game at home all year.
Good luck in the WCF. I hope Durant breaks through.
5? They'll get swept. Just like Miami or Toronto against Cleveland. Finals Rematch coming and it will be more entertaining than watching the Spurs ty offense over-pass and slow the pace of the game.
It's fukin pathetic. The Thunder are a trash team, we may just be trashier though.
Their 8.4 rebounding differential was by far the best in the league this year and the best since the merger. All time? Fourth only to 1972 Celtics, 1950 Laker's, 1973 Celtics.
Lol Pop letting Boban rot on the bench
Here's the deal - Manu and Tony could break down any defense in 2005 and 2007 and they did. Now not so much.
Not me, I hope these ref carried gots get railroaded by Golden State.
They aren't a great team. Not even close. In a stacked year in the West, this OKC team is probably a 4th seed and a 1st round exit.
Unfortunately, Duncan breaking down really lowered our team ceiling plus our bench regressing from what they were in the regular season.
Boban is a terrible rebounder for his size but he does take up room. I'd like to see Pop go all out with his roster to try and win. Let's see Simmons, Boban, Miller and Martin in spots. Can't hurt anything.
