Durant and the Thunder took care of the Spurs. But can they beat the Heat? |
The Western Conference Finals were definitely a surprise. The Spurs had won 20 straight games, had a 2-0 lead, and looked unstoppable when suddenly, out of nowhere, Oklahoma City somehow won four straight to advance to the NBA Finals. I like the Spurs, don't get me wrong. They have so much experience in the Playoffs and so much young talent as well, with players like Kawhi Leonard, DeJuan Blair, and Danny Green. The only thing I have against them is that they swept my team, the Utah Jazz, in the first round. But KD, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and the rest of the Thunder somehow miraculously stepped it up to advance. And believe me, their journey was not easy. They swept the defending champs in the first round, took care of the team that had gone to the finals three straight years before that in the second round, and pulled off a miracle in the Conference Finals. They beat the three best teams in the Western Conference and they are my favorite to win the Finals.
