Not much dude is knocking on the door of the top ten all time anyway... if he had a proper good team then there isn't much of an argument imo.

Normally I would assume no, but after the recent firings of Mike Malone and Thibs all bets are off..

No he's learning as well just like his young team. Why can't people see coaches like players. They also learn and grow from experience. That would be stupid.

don't get it twisted, this was a scheduled loss so OKC can win at home in front of their crowd. This series was over when they rigged Game 4. It stopped being watchable then too. Prolonging the series is about making sponsors happy at this point. OKC will win by double digits in Game 7. Guaranteed. They didn't rig game 4 just to let the Pacers win.

Let's see that G7 bet receipt. OKC favored by 8.5 points, so sure guaranteed win correct? Or all talk and you actually don't have the balls to bet on it :banghead:

I don't know, I think Game 8 is always the most important in these situations.





Idk but usually the team that scores more wins.


Disagree. It's usually the team that doesn't score the least that wins.
