OKC is a tremendous team coming off of losses. In the last 2 years, they are 40-11 SU after a loss, in the regular season and playoffs. In the playoffs last season, they won Game 2 SU after losing Game 1 to both Memphis and Dallas.
I like Durant's tenacity and fully expect him to come back with fervent gusto and not fade away in the 4th quarter tomorrow. Stephen Jackson played him tight, but Durant has the clear height advantage and will find a way. Also, Harden and Westbrook will get more calls and shoot more than the 2 total FT's they shot last game. They are averaging a combined 13 FT attempts per game in the playoffs. The Thunder played well on defense until that 4th quarter swoon and that is highly unlikely to be repeated in Game 2.
SA is amazing, but Ginobili will not score 26 points tomorrow. I don't know if Green, Diaw, Leonard, Splitter and Neal can really be counted on to carry a significant load on offense, if either Parker or Duncan have average games.
For what it's worth, no team has ever won 20 straight games from the regular season into the playoffs.
I am taking OKC ML(+175). Good luck with your wagers.

It's a little late into the playoffs to question whether the young guys on SA will be up for the challenge IMO. OKC will get one at home, they had their best shot in SA and blew it.
Parker will not play as bad, spurs won't have as many turnovers. I doubt Westbrook will have another bad game as well, but Harden has been struggling since last series, so I won't bet on that changing until he proves it. Fisher also probably won't have another game like he did. Ginobili might not get 26, but I will guarantee that Green won't go 0-6 on wide open 3s again too.
Should be a good game either way, but not worth the risk until they head home in my mind.

I don't think Game 1 qualifies as a clunker. Since the Spurs have been so dominant lately, they are almost held to an unreasonable standard baseline. They still outshot the Thunder at 46% to 42% and had a +7(+3 in offensive boards) overall advantage in rebounding. They also had more assists and less personal fouls. Splitter's 4 missed FT's killed their FT %, but I doubt he goes to the line as much in Game 2. Though they shot only 33% from 3 pt range, OKC has been holding opponents to that number this postseason. Give OKC a little credit for decreasing one of the Spurs key areas of output.
Adjustments are key. Ibaka will play more minutes overall and that will be essential, as Brooks admitted he made a mistake by sitting him in the 4th.
It will likely be a very tight game and OKC has a great shot at winning.

I agree with the clunker situation. The spurs did have 2 games against LA where they looked flat but the clips inability to keep the pressure on them let them back in it. Pop admitted that the team needed to be tested. I think that the real test comes tonight.

I really don't think OKC blew their best chance on Sunday. They come out fierce and focused today, imo.
Not really questioning the Spurs' role players ability. They have shown their grit all season, I agree. However, this is the WCF and I'm not entirely convinced that they will consistently be able to knock down shots and defend adequately against, by far, the best team they have faced. Especially if one or two of the Spurs "stars" are not having a good night.
The biggest additions to the Spurs have been Jackson and Diaw. I give huge credit to Spurs management for their savvy in getting these late season additions. Without these 2, I don't think San Antonio would be nearly as potent defensively.
I like San Antonio to win it all. However, I like the situational spot for the Thunder tonight to come away with a victory.
