thunder will never win with Donavon as the head coach. he has no clue what he's doing out there.

Spurs will probably sweep them. Maybe 5, but probably a sweep.

Seriously, after whooping Mavs by 38 then LOSING on your home court

THUNDER have no chance at all....like stated above..DONOVAN looks TOTALLY lost...Hope Mavs can steal another game with Matthews guarding Durant....juz calling it like I see it

I know it's only game 1, but...

These teams are in different leagues.

...coin-toss???

thunder have 2 great players.....spurs have one great system,one great coach,incredible experience and winning pedigree,homecourt advantage,and depth of solid supporting cast that goes on for days.......upset can always still happen but on the face of it how the feck you seeing this as a cointoss??..with all the information available the odds-makers got it spot on in making spurs very firm favourites.

but hey,wat do i know??youre the one "making a living at this"

obviously youre free to bet on any damn team you like but can you give sum insight as to why you wud back this basket-case of a team???

like,wat has changed since every other year in the past 5 seasons??...okay,the roster has a little but its the same formula..westbrook/durant isolation plays jacking up long jumpers and not trusting their team-mates(and with good reason probably)..their defense is spotty and inconsistent and they surely will have a mental block against the warriors after having their ars.e-holes reamed by them every which way in the regular season..(yea,i know the margins werent all that great but ya get the sense warriors always,always had an answer in crunch time).

i just cant see how you wud think that their method can flourish in a long series versus the metronomic,well-oiled,machine-like,unselfish,intelligent play of the 2 obvious contendors in the west.

if you simply are tryna grab value then so be it.....but there aint no value if it dont come in.

im not too stupid not to realise that anything can happen in sport but unless theres a major injury this is hard to see from a basketball standpoint....i got nuthin against the thunder tho,so best of luck...

kudos to you,league-capper....i severely under-estimated the thunders capabilities and didnt think they cud play in the manner in which they did.and you got yourself a monster value bet as they gave the warriors everything they cud handle and more...in a strange kind of way the thunder still seemed like the better team in my eyes...that cant be true of course because the scoreboard is the final adjudicator.

but still and all,after all is said and done it ended up being the same old thunder that we've all come to know over the past 5 years...didnt quite have the discipline to maintain doing wat was working and had to "hero-ball" at crucial times when really trusting their team-mates was working rather well for durant/westbrook..at times they were getting every single shot they desired and even on misses had that huge advantage on the boards...to abandon that seems insane but thats who they are,leopard dont change its spots...westbrook is an outrageous talent but he is mentally deficient and too impulsive/volatile/wild at times when composure is needed.

wat do you think durant will do this off-season??
