    Carlisle hasn't used a challenge all series from what I recall

    You can't start b****ing if you aren't going to use your challenges man.

    Well that's just an example that you never know what happens. OKC has had an issue retaining star players.

    I do think if those three had stayed together they would have absolutely won multiple championships. That big three undoubtedly IMO better than OKC's current one just on Harden and KD alone.

    Get it to 7 or 8 with a couple to go and anything can happen.

    OKCs first championship in 46 years since they moved from Seattle. Credit to Indiana for a hell of a fight and far exceeding expectations.

    Can’t hate on OKC. Presti is so good. He finally gets his ring.
    KD
    Jeff Green
    Russ
    Harden
    Chet
    Adams
    JDub
    Dort

    It’s crazy the players he has drafted

    Well, yeah, back then they did not have the best Defense though......it comes with a price.

    Defense over Offense right now.

    How can you not leave the starters out there for the last few seconds of the game? Smh.

    OKC should send a ring to Haliburton's achilles. If they get it to him soon enough, maybe the surgeon can slide it directly onto the tendon.

    For real. SGA should have wanted to throw the ball up running down the court like Kobe, and many others.

    This ish feels hella boring.

    Great finals this year I thought. Proper boxing match between a great matchup. I feel for Hali tbh, that kid knew it as soon as he hit the deck and if he's healthy they probably win. The worst for Hali is they may not actually get back there. Idgaf either, my new biggest want for the Rockets is TJ McConnell. That guy has the heart of a ****ing LION. If we could find a way to get him here he's the savvy vet glue guy we need, what a player man.
