    So who wins this best of seven game matchup (OKC v. LAC)

    More than likely will be the Western Conference Championship

    Winner should steamroll whoever the East Conference sends.

    Paul back for the Clippers

    OKC

    Ibaka - PF
    Durant - SF
    Perkins - C
    Jackson - PG
    Sefolosha - SG


    LAC

    Griffin - PF
    Barnes - SF
    Jordan - C
    Paul - PG
    Crawford - SG

    With Paul, I don't think OCK can win a best of seven.
    Guard play wins, and Paul is the best point man in the business.
    I love Blake, but Ibaka can keep him in check, and Jordan owns the middle in that matchup with Perkins.
    Know this though, those two Thunder forwards are beasts.

    Clips in six

    first off your lineups are not correct, reddick starts and crawford leads the bench squad. Also reggie comes off the bench and westbrook starts. OKC will easily win this matchup six games, we saw what the clippers were made of last year in the playoffs

    Westbrook has no cartilidge, his knee is shot.
    If he does comeback, and I doubt he will, he will be a fraction of the player he was.

    Reddick's back is more serious than reported isd what I am hearing

    Not really sure why you are dismissing Westbrook.

    Anyways, Thunder win the series. And it probably wouldn't go 7.

    I love Westbrook, but not with a half a knee.

    Sure sounds as if Westbrook will be back this year.
    And of course the Heat will always have a shot against these guys and I believe the Pacers will too if they can handle the pressure.


    I think Heat beat the Clippers in series of 7, I think them vs OKC will be closer.


    I think I like OKC in a best of 7 between these 2 team. Nobody to guard Durant and Durant will be able to take it easy on D. If westbrook back and playing 90%, I for sure take them over the clippers. Sefalosha on the court to play D, and I like him vs Reddick/Crawford.

    I thought the question was OKC vs. LAC??? I take OKC to win that series.

    I think OKC wins that matchup even though I am a clip fan. My first hope is clips get 2 or 3 seed and not the 4 seed. Then if they do face OKC it's more then likely in the conference finals.

    If Clips can defend their homecourt, I like LA. Last year, they couldn't beat Memphis at home, but I think they can score better vs. OKC.
    Clips in 7.

    However...don't overlook SA and Memphis.

    Too early to say for me. Would be a fun series though.

    I think Clippers win the West at +700 or so holds some value but I'm not sure I want to bet stuff like that so early in the year.

    The Clipshow ain't built for the playoffs. When teams start defending and get back in transition after missed shots, bye bye.

    I have Miami Clips finals for 10 to 1 odds before season.

    I think Clips are better than the Thunder but I am not counting out Durant and Westbrook and i'm definitely not counting out the Warriors. Warriors are built to play a 7 game series...

    Also the west won't be winning anything this year.

    OKC is clearly superior to L.A. (assuming Westbrook is okay)

    Finals will be Pacers vs Thunder and I think the Pacers will win it all.

    No way in hell he's going back to Cleveland. There is no talent over there. Unless he recruits another super friend and kyrie stays he's 1000000% not going back to cleveland.

    clev will have another top 5 pick this year .. kyrie is already there .. miami will soon fall off the face of the earth once wade is playing 20 minutes a game and can't help

    don't be surprised if he heads back to clev

    If OKC has home court, who is going to beat them in the West?

    Clippers probably have best shot.

    Spurs look older each game.

    Warriors?? Nahh. They would be good for winning a game or 2 but not winning a series like that.
