The Oklahoma City Thunder have already punched their ticket to the NBA Finals. Now they just get to sit back and watch the outcome of tonight's Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat in South Beach.
The Celtics are probably the overall fan favorite, if only because they were the underdog coming into the series, but do you think the Thunder have a rooting interest? For OKC, it's a question of having the easiest route to a championship weighed against beating the best team to get there. Conventional wisdom might say an older Celtics team might be the more favorable matchup, but then again, if they beat the Heat, aren't they the better team?
