With these two team’s history of turning it on and off from game to game, we’ll be lucky to get three close games out of this series. Ultimately, we’ll bet on the team with the best player to prevail. Heat in 6
#1 San Antonio Spurs vs. #2 Oklahoma City Thunder
This will be the series where we learn how valuable
Serge Ibaka actually is. Ultimately, we expect the Thunder to play small with
Durant at the four and try to outrun the Spurs, which could relegate Tiago
Splitter to the bench. Fortunately for the Spurs, Kawhi Leonard has the physical
tools to hang with Durant, and barring another step forward by Steven Adams,
there is no one on O.K.C. to protect the rim (sorry Kendrick Perkins
supporters, he doesn’t count anymore). We expect Durant and Westbrook to go
down swinging, but San Antonio will prevail to set up a NBA Finals rematch. Spurs
