2014 Conference Finals Review

WEST

OKC Wins in 7 game thriller

If you remember last Season, PG Russell Westbrook almost carried the Thunder all the way to the NBA Finals, despite Kevin Durant missing the entire playoffs with an injury... This year, and in this Series, he has been the best player on the floor and, in this Series he dominated nearly ever facet of the game... Look at these numbers...

Game 1: 28 points - 7 reb - 10 ast - 4 steals
Game 2: 35 points - 14 reb - 16 ast - 3 steals
Game 3: 21 points - 7 reb - 7 ast - 4 steals
Game 4: 17 points - 11 reb - 7 ast - 2 steals
Game 5: 23 points - 10 reb - 13 ast - 2 steals
Game 6: 27 points - 6 reb - 10 ast - 5 steals
Game 7: 48 pionts - 2 reb - 8 ast - 2 steals

For the Series he averaged 25 points - 8 reb - 10 ast - 3 steals per game... Simply amazing numbers and when you combine Kevin Durants 25 points per game, this duo could not be stopped...

The Heart of the Timberwolves can't go un-noticed however, as this team pushed a much more talented OKC Team to the brink of elimination... Minnesota was leading the series 3 games to 2 heading back home with a chance to close it out, however, a 33 point game from Durant and the great game by Westrbook forced a Game 7 back in OKC... The home crowd was juiced up from the Tip in Game 7 and Minnesota just ran out of gas as they were run out of the building 125-88... OKC Moves onto the NBA Finals to take on the winner of the Sixers / Nets series...

Perfection! Sixers head to NBA Finals a perfect 12-0 in Playoffs

The Philadelphia 76ers have run rough shot through the Eastern Conference this postseason... They have played 12 games, and in 12 games they have come out victorious... A perfect 12-0 record as they head to the NBA Finals to take on Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder...

The Sixers don't beat you with one or two guys like most of the NBA these days, they beat you as a team, and that was most evident in their series vs the Brooklyn Nets... In all four games of the series, the 76ers had four players score 20 points in every game... Jrue Holiday, Andre Bynum, Evan Turner, Thadeous Young and Manu Ginobili make up one of the most complete teams we've seen in a long time... Their perfect record through their 12 game run is a testament to that...

Stay tuned as I give you a preview of the 2013/14 NBA Finals between the OKC Thunder and the Philadelphia 76ers!
