I've never heard so much complaining about the refs in my life (spurs fans). This is one of the worst flopping teams i've seen in the playoffs (spurs). Get over it, your team got it handed to them by a superior team.
I was rooting for the Spurs. I like Duncan and Parker, and always enjoyed watching the precision in which that team operated. Even when the Suns were at the top of their game those years with Nash, Amare, Raja Bell, Diaw, and so forth, they couldn't beat the Spurs. Sorry they lost, and I thought they had the pedigree to prevail.
So, the Thunder is the best in the WC. We have to put up with unabomber-looking Harden, and watch Westbrook launch up more shots than anyone else in the building. I hope they face Boston.
I don't care who wins, as long as it's not a team with LeBron on it.
That freakin beard reminds me of Brian Wilson and the SF Giants, kicking the Phillies a$$ two years ago.
Lets say the spurs go 16-0 these playoffs. Do we have to consider them the GOAT team in NBA history?

I think ultimately they will drop one each against OKC and Miami and go 16-2 but that will still place San Antonio amongst the goat's.

They couldn't beat the 80's Lakers, Celtics, late 80's Pistons, 90's Bulls, or the early 2K's Lakers.

Your viewpoint is just a biased opinion just like everybody else's. In my biased opinion this current San Antonio team could whip any of the so-called great teams you mention.

2001 and 2002 I will say were strong teams.
I will never ever understand why NBA teams go for the knockout punch in the 1st qtr when there is so much time left in the game. I sat there and watched the spurs and could not believe they were using up so much energy so earlier on and knew it was a strong possibility they would have nothing left to finish off the game. The NBA game is not a sprit, it's a marathon and you can't try and build huge leads in the 1st qtr.
It was a shame to see the Spurs franchise end this way but they had a great decade and 4 titles and that's still a great accomplishment. Sad to see the spurs window close this way and now will we have to look at OKC for the next 4 or 5 years.
Congrats to the Thunder! Even though I'm not a Miami Heat fan I'm hoping that they are able to beat the Celtics because I think a "Thunder vs. Heat" Finals would be a lot more entertaining than a "Thunder vs. Celtics" Finals.
Oh, and there's the "They have to go back to their lives" presser.
