Aspect One: Spurs youngest giant PK Thunder three less

Spurs in recent years has consistently ranked in the title race ranks, there is no doubt that the Big Three of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili is the cornerstone of its hegemony, Popovich has been tinkering with the lineup, but the Spurs trio the main framework of the group has remained the same. The other hand, the Thunder, the most relied on is this the past two years, the rise of western upstart Durant for the Thunder, Westbrook, Durant, Harden three to play against the Thunder tactical system is vital . This time the youngest giant against the new Big Three, who suppression and anti-rejection of the war situation is obvious, perhaps after three games, won a contest, hands will be out of the horizon.


Aspect Two: battle of the inside

Spurs inside pillar Duncan Get the lead out ", but in the NBA, old Duncan really can be done are still capable of rice No, in the playoffs, the first and second round, the Jazz and Clippers inside the old Duncan torn terrible, Griffin Duncan repair without temper. In the playoffs, compete for the right of the paint is essential, Thunder center ibaka Perkins and Duncan did not dominant bit, the other hand, the Spurs Dior Split in Duncan end of time to provide adequate fire support inside loves the Spurs Habitat.

Aspect Three: point guards struggle, Parker vs. Granville less

Parker and Westbrook in the end who is the better, perhaps no conclusion, the simple point that Parker belongs to the technical stream, Westbrook is a violent genre, Parker technical detail for the Wei less ashamed, the Granville less explosive then Parker humbled . View of the guard, the two play is likely to be the game winning hand is worth mentioning that San Antonio is like Viagra less the biggest killer of Westbrook career total of 14 times against the Spurs shot just 37.3%, and his hit rate was 44.8 percent shooting this season. Looking at Parker in the regular season against the Thunder on February 5 scored a season-high 42 points, this comparison is no doubt people look down upon the trend of the Thunder.

Aspect Four: old and new best sixth man of contention


Ginobili is a veteran NBA Sixth Man Award, the Argentine Yao Dao in the 07-08 season by virtue of the field averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and was named best sixth man. Harden the other hand, the Thunder, the newer entrants to the NBA Sixth Man Award in the regular season scoring, averaging 16.8 points, 3.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds. This time the new old best sixth man meet, Ginobili proved enough, the old hot or Harden to prove that the better players, we will wait and see.


Aspect Five: offensive firepower and women struggled

The offensive firepower of the two teams can be described as comparable to the regular season the Spurs in scoring at 103.7 points, the Thunder is averaging 103.1 points, a draw from the data in terms of offensive firepower, but from the distribution point of the fire. the gap between the two became apparent. Thunder over-reliance on the Big Three, 68.4 points Durant, Westbrook and James - Harden the field in the regular season, the total score, this is also the highest score in the league today trio. In San Antonio, in addition to relying on a trio of Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, the Spurs off the bench in the league is unique, the firing point as much as other teams of the Union beyond the reach of this point, the weakest of Thunder is the Spurs strongest at.

Aspect: Spurs Who inhibition of Durant

Bowen is still this problem does not need to discuss the current Spurs array, the rookie Leonard is certainly excellent, but you want to guard Durant I am afraid that is not realistic, Jackson may get more playing time for the defense Durant, but do not forget to-man defense, the Spurs have the league's best team defense, and data as evidence of the season, Durant, Spurs games, averaging 22.7 points, than his season averaged less 5.3 points, showing that Durant against the Spurs team defense and there is no good way.

Aspect 7: old Duncan whether the achievements of the playoffs in the history of blocked shots

Duncan dominant in the inside of the decline, but the Stone Buddha cap still should not be overlooked in the Western Conference finals series race, as long as Duncan sent nine blocks, he will more than Kalimdor - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the history of the NBA playoffs in blocked shots, he is currently short of ranking al-Hakim - Olajuwon 5.

Aspect 8: Thunder whether out of the cycle of every Spurs Nansheng

Spurs Thunder real deal killer, since the data as evidence thunder from the 2009-10 season to become a real strong team, the Spurs on their wins 8 games and lost only two games. Since the 2007 Thunder draft pick to select Kevin - Durant, San Antonio Thunder's record of 12 wins and 5 losses, Spurs overwhelming record so that they have the psychological advantage to win the series, but the young Thunder may not be lying down, overwhelmed by the duel, the Thunder must come up with the power of nine cattle and San Antonio, to wrangle, whether out of the cycle of every Spurs Nansheng let us wait and see.
