NBA playoffs: Let's not worry about the Spurs just yet

When the San Antonio Spurs won both games at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their Western Conference finals, many thought the Spurs were on their way to the NBA Finals.

Well, the Thunder have changed that perception.

The series is tied 2-2 after Saturday night's 109-103 win by the Thunder.

Now, the Thunder look like they're on their way.

Or, are they?

I've always been a firm believer in the theory that a series never really starts -- or gets interesting -- until the home team loses.

Until that happens, the Spurs have the edge.

Game 5 will be the game that matters.

If the Spurs win, they'll have two shots to close out the Thunder. If Oklahoma City wins, they'll have the road win.

Let's see what happens.
