Thunder vs Pacers is by far the better match up.

And even though I have never witnessed the Bucks losing in the finals. I can't think of anything worse as sports as a fan than seeing your team get all the way to the Finals and losing.

The NBA is a such a long 9 month grind. Imagine getting alllll the way to the Finals and you have the trophy almost in your grasp, but you come up just short.

Your team losing the super bowl sucks. But even in football, you just have to play well in January and win 3 games to make it.

Imagine winning the first two and home and dropping 4 straight in the finals. And then the franchise implodes. Poor Suns.

Yeah, that really had to suck. Especially when you've never won one in your franchise history.

:D

I wouldn't watch a minute of pregame or halftime with the ESPN knuckleheads anyway but with Indy in it McAfee will get his blowhard big head involved for sure.

Reggie Miller and SVG are insufferable.

And you lost the coin flip to the Bucks.

Bucks - Lew Alcindor
Suns - Neal Walk

Was definitely inbounds. Felt like a call just to make one. A touch insane.

I will say it would be satisfying as hell if the Pacers blow a 15 lead (Shout out Baddy Chuck) going into the 4th quarter and lose this one and then blow the 3-1 lead and lose the series.

Unfortunately I am pretty sure this run, like all the other Knicks runs, is a fake run.

Prove me wrong Knicks.

Carlisle was the guy I wanted for the Bucks for years, even before Bud. His teams just play good basketball. He could have done wonders for Giannis and all the role players.

I can see it now:

"Tonight on ESPN.... now with the Knicks eliminated, will they bend the bucks over for Giannis to come to the big apple?" - Malika Andrews probably

I still have OKC winning in 6. Mainly because SGA is going to eat and OKC's defense is more physical than anything Indy has seen yet.

“KAT for Giannis, who says no?”

The irony is the Knicks would have been better off with Randle and Donte

Indy earned this spot. We may disagree with their antics but they play smart basketball and find the open man. They wear teams down. But OKC is deeper. Should be interesting.

Can't expect more of the Knicks. I blame our front office. We have the best player in the East and yet continue to get bounced in the 1st round.
In reference to our title winning year
