NBA Playoffs: Thunder/Warriors Semi-Final Series Begins Tonight

Tonight the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors begin their semi-final series at home vs the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“OKC” upset the San Antonio Spurs denying a series between 73 and 67 win teams. However this one between the 73 win, NBA record Warriors and the 56 win Thunder is no slouch.

I was surprised by the Thunder upsetting the Spurs and think they have a legitimate chance to topple the Warriors.

Here I go, but it is too bad that the 56 wins the Thunder achieved in the far tougher NBA West would not give them home advantage vs the very likely NBA East winners, the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose 57 wins were attained playing in the weaker NBA Eastern Conference.
