i spoke to 20 friends today and the outcome was 17-3 in favor of spurs. my take on this game is both teams have good benches , both teams can run bth tams can play half court if they had too so the key to the series i feel will be which group of stars perform to the all star capabilities manu parker and duncan vs durant westbrook an harden, xfactor may also be which team cant dominate the paint and defend the lane parker and westbrrok love to penetrate. my predictions for game 1 is look for thunder to remind the spurs tht this series isnt won on past glories and it maybe the changing of the guard , this will bea 7 game series but in the end i think the youth and remeber the expierence from last yr also has helped them okc wins gaem one and takes series in 7
