Legler picked the Thunder in 6 as well. And I know he's no Spurs hater.
San Antonio Thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either that or he just thinks the Thunder are better. One or the other......
Obviously he's upset about what Tony Parker did to his co-worker's brother's marriage.......
LMAO spursfan is pathetic. this is an even series to the non-homers.
Do you really think he picks against the Spurs b/c of some bull personal issue with TP and his brother? That has to be the most pussy ed horse excuse I've ever heard.
Oh noes, Jon Barry is angry that TP may have ed his brother's wife. I'm GONNA PICK OKC TO BEAT THE SPURS IN THE WCF!
Take THAT Tony Parker!!!
6 makes sense on the OKC pick because it goes against the odds of thunder having to win a game 7 on the road.
Jon Barry's a , but certainly not for picking OKC to win in 6.
The Thunder are good enough to sweep the Spurs. The Spurs are good enough to sweep the Thunder. Nothing in this series will surprise me.
Not picking the Spurs to win it all isn't disrespect. It's acknowledging that there are other VERY good teams out there.
Did Parker actually bang Brents wife, or just text?
Lmao y'all are funny as ...it's just a guys opinion who cares? Okc is good. It's not like he's saying they'll sweep us or embarrass us. This is the problem with all the days off. Arguments over stupid will happen every day lol
Just don't create a new thread when Gutierrez predicts the Thunder to win it in 4-5. Just use this one.
Note the bold: "however better compe ion".
It has certainly appeared that way. OKC is more "battle tested" etc...etc....
However, I went back and looked at actual records.
Utah and Dallas had identical records; however Utah finished the year 7-3, while Dallas slipped in playing .500 ball. On paper, at least, Utah would have looked to be the tougher matchup at that point this season. Now on the court, Dallas certainly appeared to be the tougher draw (at least in the first two games.)
As for the LA teams; they were separated by only one game in the RS; and finished the season with a similar run. "The Clippers were hurt" is a common argument; however, those Clips, ostensibly more hurt, closed out Memphis on the road before being made to look inept in the WCSF.
It wasn't the playoffs, but the Spurs played that same Laker team twice during this current winning streak, while both teams were battling for playoff position, and beat them like a red headed step child both times.
My point is, obviously the Spurs have not been strained or had to flex real hard the first two series; but I'm not sure if they had been on OKC's side of the bracket it would look much different.
Look at the facts, the run, the margin of victory that exists regardless of opponent or venue. I think, as hard as it might be for us all to wrap our minds around, that the Spurs are just THAT GOOD.
It's not about matchups, this player against that player. It's about team. After all we don't predetermine who is going to be the best basketball player simply by the sum of his parts (most of us, anyway). We don't measure his arms, biceps, legs, etc... and determine that this guy will beat that guy; we look at how the guy actually performs on the court. Otherwise, David Robinson would be the best basketball player ever; God got serious when he designed him. Robinson would certainly be a better player than Tim, right? Just look at them!
I've watched the playoffs, and been very impressed with OKC's players; they make a ton of shots, many difficult. They have many more highlights than the Spurs. Step back fadeaways, follow slams; all very impressive. The Spurs don't make a lot of tough shots because the Spurs almost never take tough shots. Their team and system get open looks constantly. Expect Oklahoma to have to make many more tough, or uncomfortable shots during this series; it's what Pop/the Spurs do to opponents. At the end of the games, in crunch time, when Durant and Westbrook have each played more than 40 minutes, expect the Spurs to get exactly the shot they want. Up until Sunday, after all, I don't know how many times I had heard that CP3 was the best closer in basketball.
The Spurs just finished making two playoff teams look young, inexperience; not ready for the playoffs. I expect, to a lesser degree, they're about to do it again.
I think most fans in here have total respect for OKC and what they are capable of doing. OKC in 6 ? It's entirely possible but I don't think it will happen.
I hate like that we are on an 18 game winning streak. The Spurs have shown that they can handle success well. However, its been so long since they've tasted a loss that its a little concerning. How will they react ? They re-acted great last time and made the proper adjustments to avenge the loss to the Lakers - which I believe was their last one.
OKC is dangerous as . They believe they belong here and have 3 high powered weapons. The tough thing for them will be stopping the Spurs. Our guys have multiple weapons who can score in different ways. You can't just shut down 1 or 2 guys and think you have us covered.
On the other hand, you know where OKC's points are coming from. If you take one of them out of the mix, they will have a difficult time finding those points somewhere else.
no ing , he'd pick the Bobcats over the Spurs
As far as anyone knows it was just sexting. I'm guessing had it gone on they would've ended up boning.
Dude he was the only guy to call the sweep over the Clips. He's not hating on us right now.
LOL. Been there, done that. They were ing. Period.
But oh well... ya' move on.
I respect Barry's opinion
I respect Legler'S opinion
But we are going to beat the out of OKC
Yeah bring them on
I feel its quite possible that OKC can win in 6, however, being a huge fan for years, I hope the Spurs can go 6 and win.
The Spurs can come out flat and fall on their face if we don't come out loose and ready.
It wouldn't feel right if all the media picked the Spurs.
I have huge respect for the OKC Thunder but they are not my first pick for obvious reasons.
This. Who cares if Barry and Legler chose the Thunder over the Spurs? They have their opinions, we have ours. It's going to be a challenging series, but I think the Spurs will come out on top.
where does Barry think we are? America or something?
Noted Spur-hater Barry had the Spurs beating the Grizzlies in 5 last year, in case anyone was curious...
Yup.. he's said alot of nice stuff about the spurs recently.
