OKC

You need to learn the difference between what I'm hearing and what I actually think. FWIW, he's averaging 24 mpg against the Pacers this year.

He still hasn't started one game in 2 years. Has 1 start in the last four years and has 10 for his career.

He's part of their bench. Their bench is better than OKC's. Seriously come back to this convo when you actually have factual material instead of drunken gibberish.

So Rashard is a starter now because of one series? Whatever, does it matter when you play fluid rotations with half bench guys and half starters.

Did I say he was a starter? But saying Anderson is a starter when he literally has never started in two years and typically plays under 20 minutes a night is serious pressing.

You claimed OKC bench was better then immediately back tracked so you started to say Anderson doesn't count.

Anderson doesn't start, has never started for Miami and doesn't play starters minutes.

I picked the Spurs originally, but I think the Thunder win. They have the two best players and there is no more paint advantage with Ibaka playing. Thunder 12-2 in the last 14 against the Spurs when Ibaka plays.

That is why I felt uncomfortable picking the Spurs. Originally when Ibaka was "healthy" I had OKC in 6 but with him out changed to Spurs in 6.

Picking against the best player in the series in the NBA is foolish let alone the two best.

I'll say this about OKC and this includes Miami even when OKC is playing at their best nobody can touch them.

Durant-Westbrook athletically best combo in the last 25 years. They are up there with Lebron-Wade first two years, MJ-Pippen on the first three-peat and that's about it.
