I don't think many saw the win comin with such ease.
Ibaka out hurts the Thunder, but I would love to see them win the series.
on a side note, if love ends up joining the lakers I will be happy
Massive home court advantage in the East series, neither win at the other court very often. I always thought Miami were more likely to get the road win though, should seal the deal from here. Heard a stat in the Brooklyn series that Miami had something like 14 series in a row with an away win which was already a record.
OKC were thin already, Ibaka was the only guy other than the big 2 that posed some sort of threat and without him, the Thunder look far too predictable. It caused them problems getting to this stage, I don't see them going further because of it. The Spurs on the other hand have Parker, Duncan, Ginobili, Green, Leonard as their main weapons with some pretty decent help outside those 5. They've also got a good matchup for Durant which meant for me, Westbrook needed to be the guy doing the damage. Parker is vulnerable defensively and if you can attack him, you might put him into foul trouble, or force Pop to use a better defender more, tire him out or just find easy points throughout the game. Westbrook just hasn't done that anywhere near well enough IMHO.
Lakers isn't one I've heard for Love. All the talk so far has been NY and Boston. Would be a good fit at Houston too.
