Is OKC the weakest champ in the last 25 years?

No would say we got two angles of Turner grabbing his arm so it’s a foul.

You all enjoy the rest of the evening.


I’m coping hard right now buddy! I’m trying to hang in there!


Best of luck I have faith in you.

How many replays of clear fouls/calls have we seen go uncalled?

The Wallace one? The SGA foul on Mathurin 3? The SGA travel?

Enjoy mate.

That’s good news for the league; a super villain type of squad because they are just too strong relative to these perceived contenders and a new darling of a team in the Pacers, who have convinced all of us that a deep team without a true elite star can be successful in the modern NBA.

no one cares about the Pacers. and its not a fault to how they played or their success this season. its just the reality.

Congratulations to Presti, this man deserves it. Year after year of great trades, great drafting, and roster management in a small market.

Props to SGA with one of the best regular seasons from a guard I've ever seen, while capping it off with a finals MVP.

Most of all congratulations to all the OKC fans, yall deserve it. It sucked losing Harden, and KD... But man its gotta be worth it after watching tonight's championship!

Sucks for Indy to be in this position, but by the same token they blew a game they had a big lead in. This could have been over and Indy champs already. Can't let opportunities like that slip away cause things like this can happen.

No easy baskets. You go to the basket, you have to earn it.

If healthy, I feel like there’s no doubt.

This was their “vulnerable” season being ahead of schedule, and most teams losing at this stage. They’ve gotten by being mainly being way better than most everyone else.

Now they’ve been through the struggle. They’ll be more confident. More poised. Everyone is at the age where they should maintain and for the most important guys - get individually better.
