Denver is also 1-3 vs. OKC this year including two recent losses.
I thought about this one before posting, but I really think Denver drew a bad card.
The way both teams have been playing, that first round series should be the most entertaining of the 8. Could see a lot of high scores, a lot of close contests, etc. But I agree with you that OKC has what it takes to get through Denver. I also think they can beat the Spurs in round 2 - sort of a changing of the guard series between the team that's been the most consistent in the West for the past decade+ against the newcomer that has been built on the Spurs model and hopes to take their place.
Of course, all of the above should be happening in Seattle. Grrrrrrrrr....
