Stunningly, the Thunder won the mental game, from Scott Brooks getting better strategic results than Gregg Popovich, to Russell Westbrook replicating a true point guard better than Tony Parker (Westbrook had 44 assists in the series to Parker's 38). The Thunder made a higher percentage of shots than the Spurs, the league's best shooting team. And the Thunder, who turned the ball over more than any team in the league during the regular season, showed a greater appreciation for the value of possessions in playoff games than the Spurs, who coughed it up a whopping 95 times in the six games.
....I tip my hat to them....while I eat crow this morning. I don't think the Heat or the Celtics have a chance in the Finals! Of course, I may end up eating more crow if I'm not careful!
