Unless you’re the Knicks and choked both Home Games to open the series and go down 0-2.

Adding Wolves -21.5 live bet for the heck of it. We might never see OKC play this bad (and the Wolves this good)

If Ant is passing well or hitting his mid range, it's going to be a long night for OKC :clap:

This WCF might be the worst CF of all time in terms of entertainment.

Y'all are clearly the superior team and as close to a lock to win the title as can be. I'd rather a small market win the Championship than a big market.

We were better then the rest of the West but you guys are simply in a class of your own.


Nice jinx attempt, but not buying this one at all.

AntMan goes berserk and drops 40
Reid finds 3 pt stroke and goes 8-10.
SGA plays flat and allows JDM to smother him.
DDV and Conley deliver killer blows to seal it. TWolves fans get excited

ahhhhh well what do I know

Mike Breen is making **** up when he says every champs loses big in one game during a series. The most the Nuggets lost by two years ago was 7 points to the Suns in game 4.

OKC's offense starts with their defense and easy fastbreak points, which they're not getting, because helpers aren't helping. They're ball watching, sagging off shooters, then standing there in no man's land as the shot goes up or when Minnie swings the ball.

It’s going to be the worst kind of second half they will do enough that under normal circumstances it might become a game but when you’re down thirty that’s not close to enough so it won’t really be encouraging it will just be a lost game but also it’s RealGM so the questions will all revolve around whether this means OKC is a shoe in for the 1st overall pick next year.

I really dislike every aspect of ESPN’s in-game coverage. The hot and cold rings, the announcers, the stupid NBA Live 03 graphics during the breaks. It’s really awful all around.
