Anybody picking a team besides OKC to win it all is delusional or just knows nothing about the NBA. They have the best record in the NBA so they’ll have homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs and they simply don’t lose at home. They did that with TONS of injuries and load management all season. They are adding two key players Mitchell and McCain who will make them noticeably better than last year’s championship team. That’s just a REALLY dumb take by Perkins and that’s saying something.

at the same time they were basically owned by SA and SA presents them with legit matchup issues with no clear answer… I agree OKC is by far the best team and most solid but they do seem to have a kryptonite and its been SA. also they looked pretty human in their games against NY this year as well.

Spurs are going to regret not playing Wemby more to try to beat the nuggets on the last game of the season. Now they have the joker to contend with in the second round

Perkins is stupid, that’s why he tried coaching and failed at that. He’ll say something different next week, then a week after that. He’s terrible.
