Taking OKC 5. They're still young and will drop a game for it. Possibly 6 with a good Pacers variance 3 game.

Probably haliburton for the narrative but would love to see siakam get it.

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V1.0
Why is everyone so on board with OKC? It's their first Finals. At least the Pacers can say they have a player that won a championship recently.

Not sure what the Knicks do from here. Is it gonna be possible for them to turn KAT into a more winning type of star?
It's almost like they would've been better off with Randle in most of these games to be honest.
It's begging the Bucks to take KAT and Bridges for Giannis or they're screwed.
Not screwed in a way that they won't go far in this now extremely weak east, but this is a Ray Allen/Cassel Bucks level team when the east didn't matter at all.
And they were fully healthy (but exhausted due to Thibs)

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V1.0
Well I knew this was gonna be a blowout. Typical Knicks no killer instinct.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Because they’re just the better team. Defensively they’re elite and they’re just as good offensively.

Haliburton was the driving force of Indiana's offence (21/6/11 on 57 TS% in the series) and hit some massive shots while Siakam played an excellent all-around game (25/5/4 on 60 TS% in the series with great defence) and three games of 30+ points in Pacers wins. They both deserve it, but I think Haliburton gets it due to the narrative of him being "the guy".

The bucks would be insane to do this though.
I think they'll have to trade KAT for a lesser talented player. Ironically, someone like Randal.
Kat just screams to me the kind of star that will never win a chip. Crazy to watch him argue with other knicks after the play in delineating responsibility for a breakdown. It would be scary if he actually doesn't know these plays were his fault.....but it's probably more like a refusal to admit blame.
I get the sense that his teammates really don't like playing with him.
