The Spurs have yet to lose a game in the 2012 postseason, dispatching the Jazz and Clippers with ease, averaging a margin of victory of an incredible 13.8 points. San Antonio has won every game they've played for the last six weeks, and will have home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals.
The Thunder, meanwhile, have dominated their first two opponents nearly as thoroughly as the Spurs have, winning eight of nine games against the Mavericks and Lakers. Oklahoma City's big two of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have averaged over 50 points per game between them, while the Thunder's front-line of Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins could cause problems for the Spurs.
The Western Conference Finals get underway on Sunday night, and could end up being the best series we see this spring. So today's poll question is simple: Which team will win, and how many games will it take?
I’m saying Spurs in 7. As good as OKC is I think the Spurs realize they are playing at an elite level and this could be the last year their core plays like this. Spurs to the finals. They won’t blow it. Hoping the Celtics can make it also. That would be one hell of a series.
