Thunder vs Spurs
(Thunder Win Series 4-2)
- Could this be the best Spurs team under the Popovich-Duncan Era? - On Paper, this was his best team. However, in results it wasn't. The Spurs lost in the Western Conference Finals for a second straight time and some would think that this could of been the Spurs last chance at winning another championship for years to come. Well for Popovich-Duncan era at least. Remember, father time is undefeated....ALL-TIME.
- Will the Thunder take the step of being the new alpha team of the Western Conference? - With the Thunder advancing to their first NBA Finals (in Oklahoma City), this could be the first of at least a 2-4 year run of dominance in the Western Conference and possibly the NBA.
- Durant/Westbrook vs Duncan/Parker - Well watching games 1&2, the edge went to the Duncan/Parker, but from that point on, Westbrook/Durant certainly took over and with ease. Durant took this game to new level, especially in game 4 when he was as clutch as a player could ever be in the 4th Quarter on this game. Westbrook made some huge plays too, but game 5 in the 4th Quarter, Russy made a huge shot to help out in this series too.
- With this being 2012, can the Spurs win a championship in a even-numbered year? - Welp the answer to this is NO. History withstood a strong Spurs team who just a few weeks ago looked primed to win the NBA Finals comfortably. Now they struggle with the decision of what to do for their future of this promising team.
Next up: NBA Finals, where legends are made. Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, this could be their time to write their names into the history book.
