Oklahoma City Thunder +5.5
San Antonio have been cruising, just breezing through the PO's. They've been easy going since the end of regular season winning 10 straight and 8 straight games in the PO's. They've also blown out their opponents 6 out of 8 times in the PO's & 8 out 10 end of reg season on top of cruising & breezing through games, flawlessly surging to the finals......impressive? perhaps but they played Utah Jazz in the 1st round (they hardly even sweat blowing them out in every game but 1) and then played a hobbling Clippers squad who, let's face it w/ out CP would have been lucky to get as far as they did. THey blew the Clips out every game but the last (exactly the same scenario as Utah). Yes Spurs have been flawless but against weak squads (including the end of reg season and i don't think this bodes well for them going into this series.
Thunder on the other hand faced much tougher opponents in former champs Dallas and the Lakers. Only 3 blow outs in 8 games (a vast comparison to Spurs) and the majority were tough close games where the winners won by an average of 3 pts. I think this prepared the Thunder well as the playoffs continues for them.
This will be toughest game for San Antonio since April.
