That's the game. Guys would rather whine about calls.

The turnovers and the fouls aren’t exactly separate talking points.

Something about how SGA speaks reminds me of Kobe for some reason…

What this year did though is cement an undeniable top 3 imo, SGA/Jokic/Giannis (in any order really)


Yeah I cant just put Luka in that top 3 anymore by default

I only hope that Hali"s injury or KD"s trade does not steal OKC"s thunder...

No fanbase for a franchise? They’ll get the headlines for 24 hours and that’s it. That’s the sad state of the NBA when small market and non popular star wins it— if any Canada should step up and fete their hero(es) but do they even care?

Gonna be hard to beat this Thunder squad next year now that they've won like this. They showed a lot of heart.

Thunder not getting many casual fans, they get hate because of SGA free throws thing and Dort dirtiness although just neutral and opponent fans feels OKC od low market franchise who cannot be on the top long run, i think they will find themselves fooled.

Carlisle doing for Pacers something pretty same like with Dallas, almost took a chip. Back to back terrific playoff runs. Siakam acquire was missing Pierce, trade like Gordon to DEN. Hali trade no need to say anything. That trade blessing for Eastern Conference.

High class Finals. Very shame and anticlimacting Hali achilles, specially in this situation, after he opened with quick 3 behind the arc hits. Probably would been crunch time game7

It's just so frustrating watching this game. Reminds me of the Boston series when Hali went down last year. Instead of leaning on Siakam Rick just lets the guards run amok. Maybe cause these guys just aren't able to deliver the basketball to Pascal. Every post entry pass looked like an adventure.

Siakam is the all-star, he's the leading scorer and he's the front runner for FMVP on the Pacers. He's literally done it all including a championship clinching shot and game in 2019. Instead of riding him you bet the championship on spamming TJ isos. It's just crazy and disrespectful to Pascal. Two years in a row when will Rick learn it's time to run some plays for Pascal?

Everyone under contract next year.

The Chet and JDub extensions this summer are the big ticket item.

Congrats to OKC on the title. Caruso cleaning up the books like the accountant he is and seeing Presti being able to build and assemble a team that led to a title is truly phenomenal. The ultimate redemption for him, the franchise and the fan base. Couldn't be happier for them.

Indiana should hold their head up high. Really unfortunate with Hali and seeing him being there to see his teammates on crutches. That's a true leader that anybody would ride or die for. Sucks that we were robbed of a potential all time game 7, but they got some dogs on that squad and will be back before we know it. T.J. McConnell is the ultimate underdog story of working your tail off and you'll go places.

He has the same personality as Jason Tatum— which when added amounts to zero. A ring is not changing that, especially for the casual fans, and really understandable since they don’t have the charisma of say, a TJ McConnell.

Congrats to the Thunder and SGA still for winning a well-deserved championship.

He has charisma he’s just quiet. Last thing I want is a kardashian on here so it’s cool


Which one is this SGA guy? And why do they call him that? I'm pretty new to this but I know Caruso

Great season OKC. Presti finally sees the results of his genius. SGA a much deserved double-MVP winner. Loved watching all the young Canadian guys play.
