This is just way too cool. When Kendrick Perkins starts off the game with a football-like hike through his legs to Russell Westbrook, you KNOW the Thunder are ready to play. But if you were caught up in the craziness of the arena, I highly encourage you to watch it all over again. The game was an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end.
Oh, what a season! If you haven't been watching the Thunder, then you've missed out on the biggest roller coaster ride Oklahoma City's been on in it's entire existence.
The Thunder are two wins away from the NBA Finals, and they're at the point where homecourt advantage no longer matters. No one can trot out arguments about this being a good young team that needs experience in late game situations, or how they got lucky to be this far. Fact is, these are two very talented championship contenders ready to go at it in a series that could decide the NBA championship.

After what has seemed like an eternity of waiting, the Thunder are well-rested and ready to resume their playoff run. Their selected opponent are the Spurs, who, as you all know, haven't lost a game in the playoffs yet. GET PSYCHED!

In preparation for the series to come this Sunday, I took the initiative of re-watching all three matchups against the Spurs from the regular season. I thought it'd be fun to get a fresh perspective, and consider what to expect from the matchup in the playoffs.
