NBA Pick
Remember a couple days ago when I said the Spurs were "DONE" as in D-O-N-E take it out of the over before it catches on fire DONE? Yeah, well I was still right. The Spurs are DONE and no amount of reverse jinxing I do can fix that. They have no way of containing the athleticism and chaos of the Thunder 2 more games. I don't expect much from Scott Brooks, but I do expect less Kendrick Perkins tonight. More than likely Pop will pull his guys in the 3rd quarter and try to get the win at home.
But then I remember how much I hate the Thunder.
Things like "Kendrick Perkins usually starts" and "Kevin Durant is our best player" start creeping in my mind and I realize the Thunder don't even know who they are! Through sheer power, luck and Dark African Magic, the Thunder have somehow found themselves on the doorstep to the Finals. Knowing that this team doesn't make Russell Westbrook the first scoring option and face of the franchise is baffling to me, especially when KD is standing sadly in the corner waiting for the ball like a pre schooler who just dropped his cupcake.
The Spurs have it all figured out (what we're supposed to think). Their lineup is like some sort of Animorph or Transformer that can change to attack whatever the defense throws at them. They have the best coach in basketball (maybe in Pro Sports), never satisfied and always looking for ways to improve. Unlike OKC, they realize when their Star (Timmy Big D Duncan) is no longer the on-court star he once was. So they leave Tim as the billboard star while running everything through Tony Parker. This organization deserves another shot at the title and I think they get it tonight when they close out the Thunder in front of their morbidly obese fan base. This series has been somewhat boring in the sense that these games are blowouts, but if theirs any team that can steady the boat on the road, it's the Spurs.
