Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs

Can anyone beat the Spurs?

The Spurs have been a miraculous 10-0 so far this postseason. An NBA team has never been undefeated in the postseason. The last team to go this far, the 2001 Lakers, rattled off 12 straight victories before falling in OT of game 1 to the 76ers in the Finals before winning the next four. The Spurs need only six more wins.

3 3pt attempts
Tim Duncan will make less than 6 shots from the field

Russell Westbrook will attempt more than 20 shots from the field

As Skip Bayless likes to point out, Westbrook has taken more shots than Durant frequently this postseason. Last game, Westbrook had 24, seven more than Durant. To defeat the Spurs, the Thunder must get the ball to their superstar.

Serge Ibaka will block at least 4 shots

Ibaka easily led the NBA in blocks this season, with 3.55 per game. He has continued to produce in the postseason, including four blocks in game 2. Among other things, the interior defense of the Thunder will need to be stellar to compete with the Spurs.
