The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs will play Game 7 in the Western Conference Finals, and it’s become one of the most compelling series in recent memory as two young teams are emerging into potential greatness.

OKC is very young and remarkably deep and flexible, while San Antonio is even younger. We can’t remember if it’s the core or the overall team, but we read that this is the youngest team ever to get to a conference finals.

And of course both teams feature a member of the Brotherhood, with Mason Plumlee on the Spurs and Jared McCain on the Thunder.

McCain has emerged as a major factor, with his upbeat nature and boundless confidence fueling his game and, in turn, his team.

We thought we’d put together a links run for tonight’s game featuring McCain. There are a few themes: 1) his surprise emergence, 2) the hard fouls that Plumlee and Bismark Biyombo gave McCain in Game 5, and 3) that OKC will rely on him in Game 7.

Game time is 8:00 p.m. Quite frankly, most NBA basketball has been reduced to threes and dunks and is no longer compelling. This series is incredible, and these two teams, as young and talented as they are, are going to change the trajectory of the league. The Warriors did that during their era, and a lot of teams went with small ball.

These teams are not about that, and it could save the NBA from death by boredom. It’s too bad they’re both in the West though. This rivalry could become historic, and if they met in the Finals, it would be amazing for the league.
