There’s something very familiar about the San Antonio Spurs taking a 2-0 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

The Western conference finals move on to game 2 as the San Antonio Spurs feel pretty confident about their 1-0 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder, who seem like a two-man team going up against a well oiled machine, and no matter how good Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will be; without a huge defensive improvement and at least one more player that helps them offensively, this might be a shorter than expect series.
