your typical 8 seed has no chance (see Chicago Bulls) to win the championship. the thunder aren't your typical 8 seed. they could win the Finals and any NBA fan who has watched this season wouldn't be surprised. |

Oh God, here we go about being surprised again. Are they your typical 8 seed, no! Would I be surprised? Yes, I would. Considering I haven't heard 1 expert say that they think they have a shot to win the Finals must mean I'm not alone. |

Nobody even picked them to get out of the 1st round, let alone win the finals. The West was loaded this year, so yes they are not a typical 8 seed. CLE and ORL might be the only teams in the East better than OKC, so the 10th best team in the league winning it all would be surprising. |

i picked them as my upset pick a long time ago. OKC could have easily been the #2 seed in the west. |

You mean last week when they started playing LA, or midseason? Did you pick them as a 'team I wouldn't want to play' or a 'team that will win their 1st round matchup no matter who they face'. I didn't see your prediction for them on here, but if you have a link I'll give you all the credit in the world. |

see first post in this thread. posted April 19. honestly though I would have picked them as one of my favorites a while ago. i've been high on them all season, that's been no secret, but I don't know if i've ever posted that here (people here aren't too high on the NBA). |

And over an 82 game season, they had plenty of chances to get the 2 seed. If you were so certain they would beat LA, why stop at the 2 seed? OKC has a lot of good young players and are playing about as well as they can right now.............and the series is tied. This series is playing out pretty much the same way the HOU/LA series did last season. HOU won a few games because of their speed and everyone immediately jumped on them to win it all........we all remember how that turned out. |

i meant that they had a chance to get the #2 seed going into the last week and a half of the regular season. |

If you were really high on them, you would have picked them as your real pick, not just an upset pick. They were the only candidate outside of PORT to being an actual upset pick. Basically you thought they had a better shot at beating LA than PORT has of beating PHX.......not the same as what you are trying to claim now. |

I guess I'm confused, I read it as you are picking Dallas and then decided to have a 'if there is an upset, I'm going with (insert team)' section. So are you saying that you had Dallas and OKC in the conference finals? |

Yep, LA has no chance. Good thing they didn't make OKC beat them from the outside while punishing them with their interior players..........wait a minute.......... So much for Kobe not being able to guard Westbrook. Kobe is the most underrated defender in the league. http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-100427/daily-dime Edited by Evilempire, Apr 28 2010, 06:52 AM.
