At this point playing golden state in the first round...

That is what I thought when I saw some of the comments lol. Thompson, Durant, and Curry were all out. We still didnt put them away until about 5 minutes left in the 4th.

Don't forget Draymond left in the first half. They were missing practically their whole starting lineup and most of their bench.

Beating them without Kawhi...

what would have to happen for OKC to play GS in the first round and the winner face Houston in the next? That way maybe the Spurs could have an easier time getting back to the WCF and maybe get Kawhi back.

Can't happen because 1 and 2 can only play against eachother in the conference finals

Can? Sure. Nowhere near being favorites though.

I could get behind the Spurs having a slight edge if Kawhi were somehow 100% healthy. Without Curry the Dubs only have two dangerous scorers in the starting lineup, one of whom is spoonfed nearly all of his threes.

Way more than a slight edge if Kawhi was 100 percent healthy, tbh.
