The Spurs played against the Thunder five times in the 2025-26 season so far. That could be a big factor for this series because the Spurs have the formula to beat the defending champions, but postseason experience still matters.

Yes, the Spurs are now in the Western Conference Finals after years away from the Playoffs. However, Castle and the rest of the Spurs know they can beat the Thunder in a seven-game series.

"We're not even thinking about it right now. They've won eight straight, they're the defending champions. We know it’s gonna be tough to knock them off, but I think we’re pretty confident we could do it," Castle said in his interview after Game 6.
