    If Harper and Fox are out, OKC is the prohibited favorite to win this series. OKC has a much deeper bench with multiple players capable of carrying the load.

    Injuries are a b****, but I don't see the point in getting a pg.

    If both Fox and Harper are out, OKC might be able to advance and reach the Finals without J-Dub. But you have to watch them for a few games to see what he does on both ends before appreciating how much better he makes them.

    It's too bad if Harper is hurt because Wemby - Harper - Castle is basically a Bermuda Triangle that utterly destroys the Thunder offense and that they were unable to overcome after 6 tries regardless of who they had on their side.

    It's unfortunate that he is hurt, but don't want the Spurs to win either. I rather see OKC this round and hope they get beat in the finals.

    I'm all for Spurs getting dirty with OKC since they're allowed to get away with so much ****. **** OKC!

    Castle is the Spurs most glaring weakness, he's a turnover machine who can't shoot so defenses can ignore him when he's behind the 3 point line and collapse down on Wemby.

    Exploiting him is how OKC should be able to win this series.

    Injuries / age-related decline could really be the undoing for these two teams; SGA's game isn't wildly different from Harden's, and Harden stopped being an MVP-caliber player shortly after he turned 30. Jalen Williams is starting to look injury-prone, and Chet already was. Wemby's body type hasn't held up well historically.

    The problem is we're not even in the next tier of teams right now...

    I agree but the Spurs have been getting away with so it pretty much balances out

    I guess the refs didnt hear a word of that prayer, because they missed a lot of calls on the Spurs too.
