Two years ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder did what was thought impossible. They beat the veteran San Antonio Spurs four straight games after being down 0-2 to clinch the Western Conference Finals and reach their first NBA Finals. Just a week ago, the Thunder were in the same situation, a déjàvu of sorts if you will. Minus their big man Serge Ibaka who was out because of a “season-ending” injury, the Thunder were again down 0-2 versus the same team in the Western Conference Finals. After being handily beaten by an average of 26 points in the first two games pundits, including myself, called the series already for the Spurs.
