First, let me say that the Thunder have been my favorite team out West since drafting Durant while still playing in Seattle. I want them to beat the Spurs and they've got a great shot at doing it.

But dude, the Spurs won 67 games - tying teams such as the '91-'92 Bulls, last year's Dubs and the '00 Lakers - for the 7th most wins of all time - in what would be considered a historically great regular season any year they don't play in the same Association as the '15-'16 Warriors.

Not sure what you mean by the Thunder bench beating the Spurs starters - did they outscore them in the games they played? If they did, so what?

How many mpg did the Thunder bench actually play against the Spurs starters? Probably less than a third of the total minutes the two teams played against each other. Point to the box score of the game where just the Spurs starters played only the Thunder bench and lost, and then it's not a moot point.

Nice thinly veiled insult! I guess I'm less than idiot coupled with your incredible gift of hindsight - turns you into a proper genius doesn't it?

Again, the Thunder is my favorite Western Conference team, but that doesn't inherently mean the team will win a given game, series, or Finals.

There is absolutely nothing you could go back and point to from game 1 that hints at the Thunder being up 3-2 after 5 games.

If you honestly believed they were still going to win the series after game 1, it was based on blind faith and blind faith alone.

I wasn't sure who would win the series going in. After game 1? You're damn right I thought the Thunder would be lucky to play a game 7 as any logical person could see.

Did I think they were out of it? No, but I sure as hell wasn't foolhardy enough to think they would win three of the next 4 games. Stop pretending like you were.
