Sure, Dallas would be nice, but how good would it feel to bitch slap the Thunder with all the so called experts anointing them this season? I think we've got the veteran experience. We've got two defenders who can hold down Durant. The only problem would be Westbrook and I don't think he can carry that team by himself. I want the Thunder.
Actually, I believe two of our losses to them were very close games decided only by clutch shooting. It was also before LMA accepted the role as a dominant player and before Roy got surgery. Imagine if we had gone 3-1 against OKC, would people be less hesitant to face them?
On the flip side, why not play whoever? We're going to face them all on our way to the Finals, anyway lol.
Yeah let's do it! and Dean, we lost to them during LA's resurgence. But that loss was on the road, on a game we should have won. We were up by 6 with 1:30 left and Westbrook was hitting shots he only dreamed of hitting before.
