This series is going 7. I don't feel great about my San Antonio prediction. Durant and Westbrook haven't even had a huge game yet (played well in game 3).

    That's good for Miami. I think Miami would struggle vs the Spurs and possibly lose. I don't see them losing to OKC.

    I also think you are pulling a Tequilla a bit in jumping the gun. Spurs still lead 2-1 and it's early 2nd quarter. Plenty of game and series left.

    Durant already has 21. It's all over.

    The game was over when I saw Joey Crawford was officiating. Still sticking with Spurs in 6 though.

    That is pretty stubborn. OKC has looked a lot different with Ibaka and at home. If Spurs win the series, it will be because they have home court advantage. I've seen nothing to suggest San Antonio will win one at OKC.

    It's not stubborn it's just the Spurs of this postseason. Assuming they lose this one they'll be 8-1 at home, 2-5 on the road. I think they are capable of winning one road game.

    Very rarely you see a series where the home team wins every single game.

    I do agree on one point HNMT, OKC is a much better matchup for Miami than SA

    Miami against OKC just like with Indiana is one of the few teams where they have better depth.

    Lebron is better than Durant so OKC for once wouldn't have that huge advantage where their best player is miles better than the other teams best player.

    Spoelstra is a much better coach than Brooks. He would make them regret starting Perkins game in and game out.

    That's fine, but Durant and Westbrook aren't losing a must win game 6 at home. The NBA won't want that to happen either.

    One of Brooks' biggest fault is how stubborn he has been with his lineups. He's actually adjusted this year in the playoffs.

    Maybe we will get to see how big the gap is between Durant and LeBron. I'm guessing both will get their stats and make their regular impact. Both of them are unstoppable no matter who defends them. The Heat can't afford to have LeBron chase Durant around other than for small spurts and crunch time.
