This could be the most exciting playoff series we will see this postseason. The Spurs and Thunder are both powerhouse teams with superstars on both teams. The Spurs are full of superstars like Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and LaMarcus Aldridge.

The Thunder have two stars of their own in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Westbrook seems like the one to watch out for in this series. He is a triple-double machine, leading the NBA in triple-doubles over the past two seasons.

With all of these stars on each team, this series will definitely be a competitive one. Since the first two games are in San Antonio, the Thunder need to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole or the Spurs will have their way with them for the rest of the series.

All in all, looking at who is playing on each team, this series could easily go seven games. These are two of the top teams in the Western Conference, and with Steph Curry out for the Golden State Warriors, both of these teams have a chance to knock them off and reach the NBA Finals. But first, they must go past one another.
