with the score 42 - 44 favoring Spurs, I'd say OKC looks like the more talented team.
Spurs have home court advantage, more depth, and its players are more experienced and more patient (smarter), but it could go either way.

Plus the Spurs have this guy. He just makes them believe in themselves and knows what it takes to win it all.

OKC had that win but gave it away at the end. Spurs are so good though. You can't give them nothing. I think OKC still wins it though.

It's amazing how good the Spurs still are. They look like they have turned back the clock.
 
postgame show is giving high praise to 3 bench players,, Neal and Jackson, and especially Ginobli
I think it was Shaq, that said the other guys needed the star , Ginobli, to get it started and give the other guys confidence,
but it was actually Splitter, who they never mentioned, that turned it around initially.
 
The Spurs might be the best passing and most unselfish team I have ever seen.
 
I was right about the bench... if the game was 5 on 5, or even 7 on 7, the Spurs would probably have lost.
Splitter was mentioned by Barkley, so his contribution was not totally unappreciated.

OKC executed their game plan. They stopped Duncun and Parker ("cut off the head of the snake") but then didn't have the energy left to beat 8-10s Splitter Jackson and Neal.

They have to conserve their energy a bit and/or work for better shots on offense to have a chance. Offensive fouls killed them. (They would have got some of those calls against a different team. )
They might want to go a little deeper on their bench, (not sure, do they have anyone that can rest Perkins?
Mohammad to match up Splitter?)

You guys that would give up anything for Harden, he didn't look worth it this game.
