  1. This is the closest. 1. OKC/Denver -- they've actually won the whole thing 1A. Houston 2. Minny, Clips, Mavs (if healthy), maybe the Spurs. (I think SA surprises some people this year 3. Lakers, GS. Both rosters have 2-3 good players and not much else. Churn after that. I don't think you'll see as much separation between the 1 seed and the rest of the pack. OKC was ahead of #2 by what, 14 games? 2-6 were pretty glommed up. I think 1-3 will be family close and then you'll have the 4-8 teams. That makes that #1 seed very valuable. Say OKC is #1 and they wouldn't have to play either Denver or Houston until the WCF and then only one of them.
  2. Which ones so I can do my own research?
  3. He might have owed money to the wrong people, if you get my drift.
  4. And Jerry bought the Cowboys for what and they’re worth $15B?
  5. $285M in….Oklahoma City.
  6. I'm no basketball savant (obviously) but the first time I saw him play in person, I'm like "How the fuck did he fall to 12 in the draft?" Instant NBA body, huge wingspan, three level scorer, solid on defense (later became great). He's basically Pippen or Kawhi.
  7. He's not even a starter anymore and averaged 7 ppg in the playoffs. That's a terrible deal but hey, good for him.
  8. OKC mayor in 2019...
  9. This one makes my allergies flare up:
  10. I know I'm the only one here who watched the parade but the actual parade itself was about an hour and a half of pure joy. Something like 600K people showed up and the players got out and walked most of the way and interacted with the fans. This was my favorite:
  11. The best pic. They weren't even alive then but they knew they completed the circle:
  12. There in the arena, there was a weird vibe after Halliburton went down. Literally everyone knew he was done, even without the benefit of instant replay. I thought they'd get blown out after that but Indy played hard and played well. OKC was kind of taken off guard but they came out in the 3rd dialed in. I think had he stayed healthy, it's still 50/50. Indy was a much better team than I thought. Two legit stars and the other guys are well rounded and pretty good. If McConnell were 6'4", he's be a motherfucker. Dude can play. Indy was the best team OKC played by far. They beat Denver and they'd beat Minny by a wide margin. Denver was not a "great" team but Jokic is a fucking load. They just had no one after their top 3. Sucks about Halli, though. Indy would be the odds on East favorite next season otherwise. A side note, the Pacer fans were great. I managed to go to 3 Finals games in OKC and the visiting fans were friendly, knew the game, and were generally awesome. They also said OKC fans were the friendliest they'd encountered but one guy said "We're in the East with Boston, NY, and Philly and they're a bunch of assholes." I was a great series between two small market teams who really care about basketball.
  13. We actually don't care. It's like if we had sex with the hottest woman in town but it was only because we had a lot of money:
  14. The obsession with the officiating is borderline Aggy and every time the stats are out there to prove it wrong, it doesn't seem to matter. The entire Minny team from the coach to the players to the fans were obsessed with this. SGA would get clobbered, get a foul, and they'd come unglued. The coach, too. That's not why they lost but don't tell them that.
  15. It's like SGA takes the most FT's because he takes the most shots. Interesting.
  16. People just like to bitch. Morant is wanna be gangster. Bitch bitch bitch. SGA is a nice and boring guy. Bitch bitch bitch. People don't like 3 ball all the time. Bitch bitch bitch. SGA has an old school mid range game. Bitch bitch bitch. People don't like super teams. Bitch bitch bitch. OKC builds through boring draft prospects. Bitch bitch bitch. They get good calls and bad calls, just like anyone ese. Fouls are about even throughout all of the games. Stars flop. Bitch bitch bitch.
  17. Oh, poor KD. He's a generational superstar but can only win when surrounded by other greats but if not, it's not his fault. He literally didn't go to the playoffs last year. Put SGA on those GS teams. He wins there, too. Fuck KD. He's been on multiple teams. The only one he's won with was a team that won before got there and won after he left.
  18. Who will be blamed if KD doesn't win in Houston?
  19. You guys were wrong about a lot. However, you were right about one thing. KD couldn't win a title in OKC. SGA can, tough.
  20. We're matching a doc on MAX about this. Pretty good. Infuriating, though. No way she did this.
  21. NBA dad's love the attention.
