Who else will be rooting for the Heat over the Thunder in the Finals?

[Mark in Austin]

yes. one loss and all the insecurities come out. this train is never late.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

The NBA is just dumb these days outside of a few teams like the Spurs. No more team loyalty, refs have way too much impact in the favor of players that kids like, and kids don't care about basketball, they care about funny jokes and people who can jump high. Most teams I can't bare seeing win a championship. I used to really hate the Mavs, but these punks today make me hate the Mavs less, and they even make me miss players like Kobe, who while I couldn't stand, I could respect. I can't respect most of the players today, but Kobe, and sometimes Dirk, I could. Besides the Spurs, only playoff teams in the West I could stand seeing win a championship would be Phoenix, Memphis, Golden State, and Portland. In the East, well, anyone but Miami. But if Miami, Houston, Oklahoma City, or the Clippers win the championship, then this will be yet another sucky year in the NBA.

I suppose it is good to be hated so much...if we weren't hated, I guess we'd be like Minnesota, or Golden State. Who really cares about Minnesota or Golden State?

Pretty funny that after such an impressive win streak with so many blow outs, that one game makes Spurs fans implode. Ya'll could go 81-1 and there would be people jumping off of bridges.

and your got ass team. Enjoy winning Zero les with Westbrick and Kevin "Free throws" Durant.

[Sean Cagney]

Lol, Doesn't matter who you root for, the Heat own the Thunder in every way possible.

That is a horrible matchup, most agree.

Even more hate==even more relevant. Awesome.

And as a Spurs fan, you stuck by your continued mantra of blaming loses on the refs with your free throws comment--well done.

[BermudaSooner]

If we continue to play Perkins, then yes, horrible match-up. In the game in Miami when we played Perry Jones instead of Perk in the second half, we stomped them.

Will be interesting to see how Scott Brooks plays the Heat if we were to meet them. Not sure how you say the Heat own the Thunder without saying the Thunder own the Spurs as well.

Please tell me this a joke or tongue-in-cheek thread. (That's the second time I've had to ask in separate threads). Are people starting these threads in mockery of cliff-jumpers or is this for real. Seriously? This Spurs team is hands-down the best team in the league and STILL has room to improve on defense and execution. If people are honestly afraid of the Thunder, please excuse yourself from the Spurstalk Forum and have a pity party somewhere else. It's time to buckle-up and enjoy the ride to Chip # 5. It's happening.

When did the the Thunder beat us in the Finals? Reg season don't mean , I guess a fan of a loser franchise wouldn't know that.

[RD2191]

Perry Jones

How about the 4 in a row to win the WCF? Or that not relevant either?

[Trainwreck2100]

If it cooks to that matchup the refs will just swallow their whistles like they did the last two years in the finals. Thunder get torched again cause they can't win without the refs

[BermudaSooner]

Perry Jones

Less about Perry Jones and more about going small and athletic against the Heat. Perk is great for some match-ups--he tends to do pretty well against Duncan, for example, but he is terrible for us against a team like the Heat.

If the Thunder were to make the Finals and play the Heat, I hope Perk plays very little. If we were to play the Pacers, he will play a lot.

[Arcadian]

Not happening. OKC struggles against Dallas and LAC. Even if they get past both, they'll crumble against a motivated Spurs team in the conference finals.

Only 6 teams have a shot at the le: Spurs, Thunder, Heat, Pacers, Clippers, Rockets. Probably not even the Rockets. So if the Spurs lose you better become a Pacer fan. If we get another Heat/Thunder finals you might have to give up on the league entirely.

Spurs lose one freakin' game after having played 3 games in 4 nights to a good team that was well rested and at home, and you nigggas already penciled in the thunder to come out of the west??...

[RD2191]

Is James Harden still on the Thunder roster? I'll wait.

You forgot to mention the birth place, high school, and college of your best player.

Good point. We won't have to worry about him playing like against the Heat in this year's Finals!

[RD2191]

Too bad your team won't get there.

He couldn't wait to book it out of that dump, tbh....

[BermudaSooner]

Maybe, maybe not. Good news is message boards don't decide this, the players on the court do. I'd say we have the best chance of the WC teams--we have the second best record and swept the first place team 4-0 during the season. I'd say that gives the Thunder a very good chance.

Spoken like a true loser. Reg season games don't mean brah. Spurs in 6 in the WCF, maybe 5.

[RD2191]

And how does that give the Thunder a good chance anyways? Do they get a prize for sweeping the Spurs in the reg season?
