I was rooting for the Spurs, now I'm rooting for OKC

My logic was that the Spurs would beat the Heat, but OKC wouldn't, the "too young on a big stage" thing...but IF the Celtics pull this off, I want them to face a team that doesn't have experience in the finals...

We shall see...

Well, since the NBA gave you a "team," you should know it can be taken away... HuckleB Jun 2012 #10

the OKC kids have no fear. They think they can do it and I see no reason why they can't.
The house will be rockin' tonight in OKC.

Orlando had no fear in 2009 in the first, faded in the second...it's not always a guarantee, but it happens more often than not.

1999 Spurs, 2000 Lakers, 2004 Pistons, 2008 Celtics were teams without prior Finals experience. Well the 2000 Lakers had Shaq who made a finals appearance but as a team...

You could argue it happens more often than not because only one team can win the championship so it's easier to pick losers than winners but using Orlando as an example is meaningless.

Either way, I'm rooting for the ECF champion over the West no matter who it is. Don't like the West teams though I love James Harden.

I cannot wait until tonight. University of Oklahoma women's softball team in the WCWS final game, and our Thunder in Game 5. I only wish I was in Oklahoma for all this insanity.
