Westbrook will be trying his best to lock up the best shooter in the world, but I am not so sure he can have success. What are you looking at as the key matchup?Īllan: It has to be Russell Westbrook vs.
If the Thunder win and move onto the NBA Finals they would have proved themselves, Durant would probably stick around after this season, and they would officially put themselves right next to the Warriors as the best team in the West. Even though Oklahoma City came out victorious in the previous series, we have a great set of games ahead of us between these two dynamic teams.Ĭannuscio: I’m thinking that this matchup could pave the landscape of the Western Conference for the upcoming years. Coming into the season I picked OKC to win the title, but after seeing how great the Warriors played as well as the San Antonio Spurs, I just knew we were going to see a Golden State/San Antonio series. It’s going to be the basketball version of the Oscars.Īllen: I’m partially surprised that OKC is here. Kirk: It’s such an star-studded series, just think of all of the big names Steph, Draymond, Klay, Durant and Westbrook.

It’s the highest combined offensive rating between two teams in a playoff series since Bulls/Jazz in 1997. This series has the last three league scoring champions: Curry, Westbrook, Durant. This is the first time the top two offensive-rated teams are meeting in a playoff series since Spurs-Thunder in the 2012 WCF. Soaries: Just high-powered basketball with insane star power. While on the other side, we have the Thunder, who have two of the best players in the league, and it seems the rest of the team will ride their coattail.
This sets up a great matchup because we have one team, the Warriors, that brings the most “team” aspect. There are going to be five superstars on the floor in Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. I say this because the Thunder have bad blood with the Warriors from the regular season, as they were not able to beat them once. What’s your first train of thought when it comes to this series?Īllan: This could be one of the best Western Conference Finals we have seen in a while.
