Hoping for Indy, but OKC in 6

@voodoo KAT is the prototypical big man in today’s league. Has endless range so is a nightmare on pick and pops. Has an iso game. But his back to the basket game is limited. Doesn’t work enough form 15 feet in.
Not a fan but there is definite quality. Brunson might need to evolve his game a bit. He’s got the scorers mentality, the back down game like no other guard in the league not named Luka, but the ball is sticky with him on the floor and other guys aren’t being involved the way you would like or need to go that next step.

It's good that there will be another first-time winner.
And also a different NBA champion for the 7th straight year.

He might’ve been rated the most overrated but this kid has hit more game ending shots this season than any other player.
Crazy with all those turnovers and the fact that Hali’s shot gave them their first lead of the game, makes it all the more unreal.

Windy said he is 12/14 in the final 2 minutes to take the lead.
That's Cluuuuuuuuutch.Also, until today it was 0/163 in games down by 9 with a minute left.
If the Thunder wee more careful from turnover ball they should have won that by heaps though....

That was a gritty NBA Finals game. The defence from the Pacers was excellent. OKC committing turnover after turnover, getting blocked at the rim and on the perimeter.
Mathurin should’ve got a double BANG when he hit this line drive 3 in the 4th quarter. The impact he is providing is awesome.
What I’m liking is that both of these teams have a shown they have that dog in them. Nembhard was causing issues for SGA 94 feet. Then Nesmith. They Mathurin. Then Shepherd.
What is noticeable and maybe a coaching shift needs to come from OKC, but play SGA off the ball a bit more and get him shots that way. Easier said than done when he has been the guy with the ball so much, but he looked gassed and there was still plenty of time left in the 4th.

Pacers team is good fun to watch, but I'm hoping OKC have enough maturity and some coaching to get them home.

Sources: Buss family to sell Lakers, valued at $10B
The Buss family is entering into an agreement to sell majority ownership of the Lakers to Mark Walter, who also owns the Dodgers, for a franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion, sources told ESPN.
10Bn USD.
'The Lakers can finally be run like a real business': Leaguewide reaction to the stunning sale
The Lakers have spent decades lagging behind other NBA teams in ways known -- and not. This sale presents a massive opportunity for them to catch up -- and expedite their chase for title No. 18.
The owner has built the Dodgers into a juggernaut. I expect he will spare no expense to achieve his aim to do the same with the Lakers

Pacers come out with a defensive intensity in the second and third quarters, whilst getting across the board contributions in the scoring column. An almost perfect game from them.

Beat the Thunder by double digits and your top scorer is off the bench for 20. Super teams are dead!

I don't see it. Suns don't need another guard, let alone an inefficient guard like Green. Their 5 highest paid players are all shooting guards. None of them fit well next to each other.
Brookes is a good role player, but doesn't move the needle for a team like this.
10th pick is OK, but usually doesn't pan out to be anything much. And 5 2nd rounders is a bunch of fluff.

Every pundit talking about KD being washed, yeah nah. He is still a top 15 player in this league. Plus pairing him with Sengun is going to be something.
