I have the Twolves and Indiana in the finals this year. I think the Twolves will beat the Thunder. I think Julius Randle has been playing some good ball lately and that has lead to some match up problems for opposing teams. He was one of the main reasons they beat the Lakers so convincingly. He also bullied Draymond in that Golden State series. He's been on a tear. I also have some surprise players on Indiana that are playing well. Miles Turner and Aaron Neismith. I just don't think New York can run with them.
For some reason, the Warriors felt a need to brutally announce how they feel about Jonathan Kuminga. Reminds me of Jim Irsay describing Jonathan Taylor.
All-NBA: 1st: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell 2nd: Jalen Brunson, Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Evan Mobley 3rd: Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Williams Source
LeBron's the only player in any of those teams with a negative plus/minus with a -54. The next closest is Brunson with a +146.
They deserve the lowest rated Finals. Spoiler Obviously heard all the talk of NBA ratings in the tank but wow! Every Finals of the last 5 years is there (and the Sperms of yesterdecade.)
Will the Pacers vs. Thunder Finals be moved to ESPN 2 (and to ESPNEWS if interfering with the College World Series)?
Difficult not to be positive after getting Robinson, Duncan and Wemby........ With all the international players intending to join them. and having top coaching and management in the past.
