I loved Siakam's body language.

When you act like "you've been there before", then you can know "I will get there again."

This is how I love celebrations!
(none of the flex-crap or death-moves that now dominate)

God I hate all the flexing and posturing. It's become so cringe. I can vibe with it after an absolutely incredible play when its absolutely "wow" but not after something that isn't remarkable.

Yep…twice as badass as some goofy thing you practiced at home. Barry Sanders would just flip the ball to the ref and it had a vibe like “of course I scored and I’ll be doing it again”

The offseason becomes a whole lot more fascinating if they lose than if they win.

If they lose, maybe they make a godfather offer for Giannis.

If they win, it's probably status quo for them.

For the sake of Hennigan not getting a title, and some small Seattle revenge, hopefully the Pacers pull this off.
Also, I don’t like Presti, SGA, Dort, and Chet. I like Carlisle, McConnell, and Nembhard.

Absolutely...anytime the East can win it is a good look.

The Pacers are way more likeable in my eyes.

Feel bad for always being annoyed at TJ McConnell for lighting us up. That man can just straight up play

You mine as well hand them next years trophy if they get Giannis.

I think that whoever wins next one will be champion :lol:

Amazing to me how Carlisle has completely figured out the Thunder's offense. They aren't passing the ball at all and cannot generate 3s. Just winning games on pure talent gap at this point. Game 7s are typically really ugly, if OKC keeps up this no passing thing it could be extra hideous. One thing going for them is they have looked unbeatable at home, but Pacers have a real chance here if they can start hot from 3 IMO.

alright.. who you got?

i just want the media to lose.

anything that kills this stupid "okc = jordan era bulls!" narrative works for me.
