Don’t really care but I’ll pull for the Western conference team. Which also happens to be the team that I think will win it. OKC in 5.
I would love the Pacers to win but if i was a betting man this series will be over in 4 or 5 games but I hope the Pacers prove me wrong.
For the good of the league, the Pacers should win. Tho honestly, they'd probably be the weakest title winner since Denver (beating a fluke team in Miami).
Kinda want KP and the Pacers to win. That way OKC and Presti might go ham with their riches of assets to improve which would be interesting to watch. I just can't believe the nba rigged this year so hard that these two markets made the finals.
Would like to see the pacers win and for the Thunder to learn some humility. Could be a good series. Gamess 1 and 2 will get a lot of viewers, but if it goes the way of OKC blowing out the Pacers over and over, people will stop watching.
I looked it up… 4 games +240 5 games +230 (No declared winner, just series game totals) Sports though… Sometimes someone hits a buzzer beater to send it to game 6. There’s so many factors that go into sports, and furthermore sports betting. Even things like March Madness brackets, fantasy leagues. Understanding the dynamics of sports has a massive impact on the success of predictions, but sports in itself can be … completely unpredictable.
So what I’m getting from you guys is that it doesn’t make sense for me to not want Indiana to win it because they beat the Bucks?
Thunder have been dominant all season… Weird how it almost feels like an anomaly in how the went from relevancy, to irrelevancy, to perhaps winning a championship with a roster that has no Harden, No Westbrook, No Durant, no Ibaka. Last I heard of Ibaka he was playing for like Real Madrid or Barcelona in the ACB. Credit to them really… Shame they aren’t still in Seattle.
Chemistry counts. So do role players that “ buy in”. And yet we are still inundated with LeBron this Luka that, Steph this, Embiid that. I am quite sure a guy like Shaq doesn’t know these finals’ rosters. He would rather sell The General.
Fuck OKC. Fuck Clay Bennett. Fuck OKC fans. Fuck their ugly colors and uniforms. Fuck their MVP flopper who doesn't play defense. Fan is short for fanatic.
And fuck Oklahoma. 49th in US education so they require schools teach Christian evangelism, buy Trump bibles for $60 when they could get them free and now require high school social studies teach 2020 presidential election was rigged. I regret planting Oklahoma! rose although name, with exclamation point, is from musical.
Of course I hate the fact that Bennett fucked over Seattle but that's such an old story line. This Thunder team is filled with players that are easy to root for. I really love the way SGA plays, I like Chet and I love Jalen Williams' game. I think the Thunder have a lot of ways to beat you. At the same time, I can't stand Halliburton's post game bullshit even if it is just a persona, I still can't stand it and he leads the Pacers. So I'm rooting for the Thunder. What I like most about this series is that if we can get a more modern big to platoon with Clingan along with one more two way wing to come off the bench or even pressure guys in our core group then we can play the way both of these teams do which is to run opponents out of the gym with non stop pressure on both offense and deffense. It will be an exciting series but I just kind of see Indiana as doing everything that OKC does but at a slightly lower level.
