In 2012 I'm pretty sure the Spurs did dominate both games and won by a lot of points.
I remember listening to local media after the first two games talking about how it was just a learning experience, OKC had a great year, it would be something to build on, etc.
So really no one have hem a chance in 2012.
Now it's funny because OKC fans keep bringing up 2012 for optimism but this year is totally different.
In 2012 the Thunder had Ibaka and Harden. This year they don't and the Spurs have better role players.
Harden went nuts starting in game three of that series and was making everything he was throwing up. San Antonio didn't have an answer for that third option and most teams didn't.
Ibaka also went 11 for 11 against the Spurs in one game.
I'm a huge Thunder fan but deep down I know they aren't the better team.
