All you people saying, "Just leave/put the good players in" just don't get it.

All players must rest.


You can take guys out but there's absolutely no reason to be playing Tony Bradley or Thomas Bryant in a Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

I wonder does Siakam not have the conditioning for it. Clearly he's in shape but not everybody has that Curry/Lebron conditioning

As someone who watched his whole career he absolutely has the conditioning

Greekman might be the worst poster on the board. I'm going to assume he's just watching the boxscore

If SGA was driving to the rim like TJ Nowitzki, he would have at least 8 free throws.

I wish Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle etc were calling the game. At Breen had chemistry with Mark and Jeff.

Why do they continue to allow tj maconnell to just easily go right?... That's his dominant hand I'm so perplexed by that.

As much as Tj's been great, he also isn't a good point guard. Everyone ends up watching TJ and gets cold.

Anyone notice that McConnell the shortest guy on the court has no problem attacking the basket but other NBA players taller and more athletic prefer chucking 3's? Make it make sense

My opinion, he's the Finals MVP for OKC. I know it'll go to SGA, but I find SGA to be underwhelming despite his great stats. Still a great player, but I'm just not impressed.

And folks that is how you steal momentum and break open a tight game. 2 missed travel equals five points and Don't you dare call a foul on OKC.

Yup I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing the pattern here. He's a frontrunner extraordinaire.
