They achived a lot more then Spurs in recent years and are a very serious playoff team, Spurs (for now) didn't show anything on that level but it could change soon. If healthy I would bet on them beating Spurs 100%.

Jokić is the best player itw for the last 5 years but since the injury he isn't himself and was bad this playoff. They also had other injuries as most of the teams do.

Spurs are definitely a bigger threat to OKC than Wolves. Spurs can match their pace.
 
Knicks vs 6ers was a good game at the garden.
The following game was also good but for completely different reasons
 
Michael Porter Jr. admits that he kind of stopped playing hard after not making the All-Star team
"I regret that once I didn't make that All-Star game, I let my foot off the gas because there really wasn't anything we were playing for anymore. We couldn't make the playoffs, I couldn't be an All-Star...! wasn't in the weight room as much, I wasn't preparing as much, and my three-point percentage dropped."

This pisses me off
 
I watched live the last two games of Spurs vs. Wolves series. Game 1 I caught the final 10 seconds, which Spurs narrowly lost.

The conclusion so far into the series for me - Spurs are the better team. Game 2 blowout wasn't much to be analyzed, but Game 3 showcased a lot. The box score indicates at the X-factor - Wemby, but to be honest I think the rest of the ensemble deserve a lot more recognition.
 
Thunder swept the Lakers. I can see them cruising to another title. Spurs and Wolves can give them some trouble but still predict Thunder to beat both teams in 6 games at most.
 
Ant and Wemby are the only ones that compete with SGA as the face of the league (considering the league doesn't like Jokic being one and Luka took a step back).


They could gave Thunder a series if they get a fair officiating. But yeay, OKC has far bigger chance to repeat than anyone else.
 
What kind of step back did Luka take? Never really get why Americans are so obssesed with "face of the league" debate, what does that even mean? Who is the face of Champions League? Of EPL? LL? But yeah, racists in and around the NBA don't like two white guys running the league, that's true.

Still hoping for Wolves but most importantly don't want for OKC to win it. Knicks should get to the finals in the East, they look better then Detroit/Cavs.
 
The focus has always been on the players. Who's the GOAT? debate, you know. It's not just in basketball. But the focus goes away when a player dies from drug overdose. Brandon Clarke of the Memphis Grizzlies has been found dead in LA.

Spurs won at home, but the talking point is still Wemby's kung-fu elbow Meta World Disorder style last game.

OKC had an easy run so far and the real challenge awaits in the conference final. I'm not counting the East at all. 4-0 sweep for OKC.
 
OKC - SA for CF.

Easy win away for Spurs. This game was supposed to be Wolves', instead San Antonio kept a 20 point lead throughout the game.

Anthony Edwards was resigned with 10 minutes left. Kept on shooting, but Spurs answered with 7 other guys that can shoot and Wolves had nobody to back up Ant.
 
I've been watching OKC for the last 4 games. They are mediocre team, that's okay, but the real question is why is this flopping and foul baiting team allowed to be the champion of NBA? Donkeys at ESPN say OKC should play Isaiah Hartenstein as center, because he has the magic ability of invisible fouls on Wemby and Stephon Castle. LMAO.

Jalen Brunson has been incredible in the last two seasons. He is clutch and the underdog arc... I can't help but feel happy for him.

Knicks completely dominate the rebounding on both ends and that's why they are likely to sweep SA.

Wemby is unrecognizable. Part of it is fatigue, the whole team gave it all vs OKC, part of it is Wemby's weak physique. He stands no chance against big men. This became clear as early as game 2 against OKC, where Wemby was like a pillow to Isaiah Hartenstein. Once the paint area is secured, it's over. OKC had one guy, wasn't enough. Knicks have two big men who lock Wemby out of the paint day and night.

"Too soon" encapsulates Spurs well. Reaching the finals is great, another great thing is Dylan Harper (Ron Harper's son). I don't know who got the Rookie of the season award, but what Harper does in this playoff run is nothing short of exceptional.
