    I have no idea what you're talking about. This has been a great series. Both teams play really frenetically and aggressive. Both teams are really well coached and execute well. The Thunder have one of the best defenses in history. The Pacers have risen to the occasion.

    What else exactly would you want from the Finals? Are you a Lakers fan?

    Indy ****ed up by not winning game 4 at home, and having a commanding 3-1 lead. That loss could be fatal.

    Rockets really gonna sit here and run it back depending on “growth” from a core of majority mid-tier prospects

    When Harden was playing perimeter defense and that was rare.

    the Pacers traded for Haliburton and Siakam, that’s the reason they are where they are

    they also traded for Nesmith and Obi Toppin

    I just meant this same core team ran it back last year after a very meh year, no one had them here.

    I think we're to harsh on the season we had and the young players we have. Teams rarely look good their first playoff outing, we knew GSW was the one team we wanted to avoid. We played OKC tougher all season long than we did against GSW.

    I'd rather see how the team grows together than trade away valuable assets on a desperate move. I'd just rather save them because every year a star player is traded or wants out, Durant would be nice to have for a cheap price but not for 2-3 of our young guys and a draft pick.

    For all we know, the guy at #10 could be much better than expected. It's not like anyone had SGA as an MVP level player until 2 seasons ago or even saw that in him and no one had this Pacers team in the finals.
