It’s not a legacy game, c’mon. The dude is super young and just won MVP while leading one of the youngest teams to ever make an NBA Finals. He’s going to have plenty of Championship moments in his long career.


I see the logic in what you're saying, however, we all know that championships are ridiculously hard to win. It takes a virtual miracle to win one, and regardless of age, there are no guarantees that this opportunity will happen again. Numerous stars have articulated that they mistakenly took early success and thought they'd have numerous title shots that didn't pan out.

I agree, but this OKC is too talented and young. Unless they have massive internal locker room issues, they will be a mainstay for a while.

Nembhard is due for a big game, Obi still has a chance to be Finals MVP, let's go :hoop:


Sour cream and bacon chips eh? What is a bacon chip?

I get it. I thought the same with the prior version of OKC. I was wrong about that.

Okay, the stupid panel says that game 7 can’t happen if OKC loses today so my new prediction is Pacers game 4, OkC games 5 and 6 and then because these idiot will them be all over OKC again, Pacers win In 7.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Fair, we can’t project the future, but I’d be shocked if this team is competing consistently for a while.

For what it’s worth, some Knicks fans on this forum who went to some games said they were blown away by how kind everyone was to them.

If it's a close game and OKC loses, I just find it hard to believe they're going to win a Game 6 in Indy, if it even makes it there. Must win tonight. Need to tie it up.

Anyone having trouble catching the stream on league pass?
