The finals last year was OKC/SA. And the finals next year will be OKC/SA.

SA is so good, but you have to think Timmy is going to fall off at some point (and he's the least replaceable part). Then again, it seems like we say that every year lol. If he does drop off (and it has to happen, KG did last year finally), even with Pop they can't win it all IMO.

I do think OKC vs MIA would've been a competitive series, even with a healthy Ibaka. I'm not sure who would win, but it would've been a good watch.

Going into this season though, I do expect the winner of the WCF to win it all.

[GrapeApe]

What about the year before? Was MIA/IND the real finals?

[raprap]

So are you saying that durant is 0/2 in the finals? Damn.

[#number6ix#]

You got one hell of an imagination kiddo

[poido123]

I think OKC v warriors bro

I love the spurs, but they had everything go right last year with an aging core.

An injury to one of their key players and that is enough to slip up in the west, particularly if they slip from top seed too.

The real finals are the real finals.

"Real" is all relative. The two best teams in the league played in the playoffs last year and it was OKC vs San Antonio, AKA, the Finals.

[Haymaker]

Keep sleeping on the Spurs.

[Warfan]

I can see OKC losing before the WCF like they should've this season. As long as they have the retards that are WB and Brooks, combined with Durant playing like a beta they arent winning shit. Need to get a new coach and get rid of the useless POS that is Perkins if they want to win. The talent is there, just needs to be used properly

San Antonio beat Miami with superior ball movement. Let's not sit here and pretend like OKC wouldnt have been isoing like usual and there supporting cast is particularly reliable from 3 like San Antonios. Or the fact that Bosh owns Perkins and Ibaka. Or the fact that with Sefolosha a shell of himself OKC was going to what throw Durant on Lebron and watch him pick up fouls?

The real finals are the finals. Get over it. This was the same exact dumb shit people were saying in 2012 before the Heat beat OKC in 5. Literally.

Lol what?

Are you one of those retards who, after the Pistons lost to the Lakers in the Finals in the 80s, maintained that should they rematch, the Pistons would get their asses kicked again?

The Spurs and Thunder were in a class of their own this year and had Ibaka been healthy I don't doubt that it would have been at the worst for OKC a 7 game series with the final game coming down to the wire.

Miami was simply not anywhere near the level of those two teams. They would have been at best a fukking 4th seed in the West

How far do you want to go with this "refs" narrative.

Depending on what you believe, we're looking at a Grizzlies/Warriors 2nd round in the West.

You never actually know what will happen until it happens. Which is why the real Finals are the Finals.

The Thunder should have been bounced in the first and second round. And the Spurs let the Mavs take them to 7. Class of their own, lol. Quit being an idiot. Every series is different. The Spurs and Thunder were boh in clear cut danger of a quick ass exit. You never actually know what happens until it happens.
