They’re only a 68 team because they’re playing in a weak conference.


Eh. They played plenty of out of conference games. You make it past 60 doesn't matter. You're in historic elite company.

Part of me almost thinks OKC are deliberately throwing this game away so they can win game 7 and the chip in front of their home court fans, which is a very dangerous and foolish tactics if that was the case.

Very impressive and ballsy performance by the Pacers. They didn't roll over and join in on the OKC coronation. They want a game 7.

I've heard many say he's untouchable in Giannis talks. If you switched Chet for Giannis, this series is over in four...maybe five


Salary cap exists


That's true, but in threads that suggested Chet/Hartenstein and filler for Giannis as a hypothetical there were a bunch of OKC fans saying Chet would be untouchable in a potential Giannis trade offer.


I want to know what those same people think now

I guess OKC want to win in front of their own fans, either that or choke it away.

OKC looks much better with Hartenstein on the floor even though he's limited offensively.

It will

It broke Bucks

broke Cavs

broke Knicks

Why would be anything other with OKC


Because they’ve lost like this and turned around and floored teams. Against Denver and Minny.

Not saying that’s what happens but that would be the reason

You really think OKC wouldn't have came out with more energy if their season was on the line? lol
They would have, butterfly effect and all. I meant to say that this "could have been their closeout game".
