Shaq Picks the Spurs over OKC
On February 7, 2026, Shaquille O’Neal predicted on Inside the NBA that the San Antonio Spurs will defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. Shaq’s bold prediction is based on his belief that the Spurs’ size and physicality can disrupt the Thunder’s defense. He specifically noted that San Antonio has already “mastered” Oklahoma City this season, having won four out of their five regular-season meetings as of early February. Shaq further forecasted that Oklahoma City will finish the season as the No. 1 seed, with San Antonio taking the No. 2 spot, setting up a clash between the conference’s top two teams.

So that means…..spurs Pistons for the finals
Spurs and Knicks is 🔥
considering Spurs already beat em 4 of the last 5 times it makes sense
I mean sounds like a wild pic, but it really doesn’t. San Antonio is in OKC’s head.
The spurs have teams they don't match up with for whatever reason but OKC brings out the best in San Antonio
If Denver gets healthy, they could throw a wrench in this prediction.
both healthy, yea give me Spurs
Such a hot take.
Well said Shaq
wem wont stay healthy
Wemby on a mission to destroy the OKC
I agree with Shaq
