Thunder wins 4 games to 1

I don't even want to think about it. Let's not jump to conclusions.
Miami needs to beat the Celtics and the Bulls first before they even think about going to the finals.
No - we cannot skip the playoffs! lol I think so much can still happen anyways! You cannot count out other teams making it to the championships. It only takes one bad series to knock a team out, and one great series to push a team forward.
If the mods don't mind, I will bump this thread should the Heat-Thunder finals not materialise. Every year, there are some teams that look like nobody can stop them and look good on paper and instead they get served. Also, most people don't realise how well the Spurs match up with the Thunder. Tony Parker gives Westbrook fits for some reason. I doubt OKC wants a piece of SA in the WC Finals.
What about the Knicks? Are we just going to forget about them? They still have a chance to enter the finals. Who know they could even face the Heat in the finals. Haha.
The single most important thing you need to win a championship is: A traditional #1 option, where the team runs the entire offense through them. You need complimentary players who "compliment" your best player. Not all good players compliment each other (see Lebron - Wade, but thats for another discusion).
I only see 7 players in the league who I can consider a #1 option.
Lebron
Durant
HGH (Dwight Howard)
Love
Dirk (Fading Fast)
Duncan (could be last year as a viable #1)
Rose
Without one of those guys you're not winning a tittle.
A place to debate everything and anything!
