I'm not underestimating the Thunder and I doubt the Spurs are either.
That being said, it's going to be next to impossible for the Thunder to stop the Spurs offense with Ibaka being out. Parker, Mills, and Manu are going to go right at Adams, Perkins, and Collison early to get them in foul trouble and discourage them from clogging the lane.
It's going to be a battle of how can get occasional stops while keeping their offense moving. With Ibaka out, that type of series favors the Spurs heavily.
