The line on ESPN had been 7.5. It’s now 6.5…

Are the Thunder last years Wolves? Easy first round, hectic 7 game win vs Denver but not quite ready for the next step?

Are the Wolves last years Dallas? Low seed that methodically picks apart the opponents? But is overmatched in the Finals?

It doesn't seem like the Wolves would be overmatched in the Finals if they get there.

Hopefully they are this year's Celtics. 8-)

Windy is now referring to Randle as "mini-LeBron"... :D

Prior to the conference finals I have been feeling Indy versus Wolves final. Indy has me scared though, they've been playing so well. Knicks are super cooked. Indy won't take them lightly or shoot terrible from 3. If they get up 20 they'll drive to the rim and get easy buckets and put them away. Celtics were idiots!!! Also attack KAT, like how stupid can you be? He's a foul machine that plays shit defense.

The problem is the Thunder, despite their 7-game series, have only three guys averaging 30 MPG or more in the playoffs. And the guy that has played the most, SGA, is at 36 MPG. Last year Ant averaged 40+ MPG and I think it's safe to say SGA is in better shape than Ant was last year. OKC has so many games where they just completely blow the doors off the other team. Plus they are young, so unfortunately I don't think they skip a beat after the Denver series. We can't count on them being tired.

I think it's more of an emotional hangover than a physical hangover we're hoping for. Those 7 games against Denver had to drain some of the mental sharpness of OKC. I don't expect it to last past tonight, but we might get a little edge from it in game 1.
