Both teams match up very well against each other. If anything, the Spurs' advantage would be their motivation for revenge. I do think Siver/Stern would allow a rematch between the Spurs and Heat because of how successful the 2013 series was.
Barnes played well last year for the Clippers tbh; only reason they weren't annihilated in game 6 against the Grizz.I hope so. Collison/Barnes don't worry me much because they're proven to be lousy in the playoffs. All season I had discredited the Clips for the same reason as previous years, lack of wing presence. Dudely and Re didn't fix anything for them, and losing Bledsoe for that didn't make sense imo. But I've been watching them play all year, and Granger has looked much better than anybody would have guessed. I still think the Spurs take them in a series, but if Granger continues to get acclimated, it could just be another thorn to deal with, although its nothing we can't handle. Green will be guarding Paul, leaving Kawhi to guard their next best perimeter player, and I doubt Granger is going to torch Kawhi. I'm just making an observation is all

True. The Spurs benefited tremendously by playing a Lakers squad on one leg. Spurs were extremely fortunate last year, and it would take all the luck in the world to go back in the Finals, let alone win the championship this year.
They had it in the bag last year. Spurs are too good of a team to let it up again. They are the only team in the west that can beat the heat. And the heat know it. Because it took a dam miracle to survive the finals. The spurs have what it takes and they have all the motivation in the world. Manu finally decided not to play in the summer for once so maybe he can show up this time around. Tim is still playing great and coasting till playoffs. Parker is still our mvp. any spurs fan that says he needs to be kicked out. Kawhis d is still strong. Thats all we really need from him. Our bench is much better. This is the same team but with a better bench and a reason to be pissed. Anybody the thinks the spurs have no chance are absolute re s. The current obstacle right now is okc. Because even though they would just get owned by the heat if they reach the finals, they can seriously kill us.
I just hope they have the gumption to show up when I need 'em.
OKC had your back in '12, will they do it again this year?
A healthy OKC wins the west, obviously
If you go back and watch that '12 series Danny green was absolute which allowed them to play off him. Ooh '13 Danny shows up than it won't be so easy. Not sagging spurs would win because I don't know which ibaka showed up.
Just a hunch,,,but, I think they'll their pants.
13 green showing up dont make a difference, dude cant hit a anywhere inside the 3pt line when the perimeter is closed...
dude is a a fkn scrub
as shown this season gettin physical with lebron will get into his head, if only the spurs had jax for t he finals last season, wouldve made a thug victim out of lebron and a easy win...
Danny Green is ...a scrub is a scrub, and people forget Pop found him in a d-league dumpster. He had a nice Finals though before the Heat realized he existed and put a hand in his face.
Yeah, OKC needs to be healthy. If they're healthy, they matchup well with the Spurs on almost every position. They will make the Spurs look old, tbh.
Yes but the hands in his face will be frog and fisher. Because brooks will slide thabo to Parker. Gfe was missing wife open shots that series.
This, the Spurs have basically no matchups to exploit. Duncan has the advantage over his man but he can only play so many minutes--and Ibaka plays well against SA. Add in the fact that the OKC bench loves playing SA and Brooks has the luxury of putting Thabo on Parker and it just looks ugly.
That 2012 OKC team had James Harden on it tbh.
Look man, if the difference in winning or losing is Danny Green then, well......you know
Yet their ownage of San Antonio has only increased since he left. Not saying his loss is a net positive for OKC, but they've had no problems with the Spurs, dets for sure
yeah but the whistles still whistle
it'll be a tricky spin job on your part if the Spurs manage to beat them tbh. we should know in a couple months.
Won't need to spin, a Spurs win over OKC will have meant that injuries must've occurred. I wish there was empirical evidence that shows they can beat a healthy OKC team, but alas...
probably the old standby "I was just coked out of my mind, I wasn't serious."
Eh, they split 2-2 last year. This year its been 0-3, but anybody paying attention knows the spurs were pretty dog early in the year against every good team. Don't think its representative of how they'd fare in a 7 game series.
The difference is gonna come from our 2 guards exploiting the matchup created when they slide their pg to defend them. That's Danny, beli, and Manu.
You're spurfans so of course you're going to be optimistic, but we all know you're praying to Jobu that you avoid OKC at all costs.
