    Not in the Pop .....dude was more than a coach, he was also the GM for a short period, overseer, architect, father figure, friend,....

    Jackson was in his own category, he was like the Buddha of Coaches. Specialist of dealing with superstars.

    He moved pretty well but not as dynamic as usual. He was still good.

    Not as good as TJ McConnell though. That guy has been an unlikely star in this series.

    There was a bet available that had the Thunder winning in 4 to 6 games. I don't listen to many gambling podcasts, but the few I do all suggested to take that bet as a guarantee. A lot of people big mad right now.

    for the modern NBA i'd take rick, but yea your point stands. Pop is extremely influential. Everytime he's in public Duncan, ginobili are still behind him.

    And we wait another 3 days. They really should go every other day between games 5-7. This finals has taken 18 days. Ridiculous.

    What to expect for the Ref Crew?

    Is the league going to let the teams decide the outcome or will the league try to favor one team?

    Pretty amazing that TJ was undrafted. What a fun player.

    I’m surprised Chet doesn’t get more shiit. He’s been absolute cheeks this series.

    This game seemed pretty rigged. Low interest in the series. Give OKC the chance to win it all at home. Skeptical.
