Well I've been wrong about everything so far. I need the Pacers to lose this though. Don't really know what it is, I know he's really good, but Halliburton pisses me off so much. And his dad is a piece of shit. His disrespect of Giannis might have left me with a permanent bad taste for anyone in his blood line.

Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau.
Man what does a coach have to do to keep his job in this league? I know he has a history of playing his starters too many minutes, but the Knicks really do not have the talent to hang with the top teams and have overachieved ever since Thibodeau arrived. He is a great coach, just like most coaches who get fired in the NBA.

Whoever replaces him will only go backwards, the Knicks are just not that good.
 
Not to mention they went 6 in that series - it's not like they got swept. Plus, with the East looking like it does next season, they could easily go back to the Conference Finals.
I wonder if this is God's punishment for Knick fans celebrating the divisional round win as if they won the Finals.

I think it's funny, that even with the ref's clearly favoring them (to the point of many calls being kinda sus...), the Knicks still managed to blow it. If they were an actual strong team, they wouldn't have gone to 6 games, barely scraping by - they would have swept the court.

In the Knicks' fans defense, those sorts of victories are quite rare, so they celebrate quite hard when they come around once in a blue moon 🤣

Anyway, speaking as an Okie, the Thunder will win ⛈️ I know a bunch of fellow natives who did sacred prayer dances out in the woods to increase the Thunder's luck on the court and ensure total victory 😶‍🌫️🥳🙌 Manitou don't fuck around when it comes to basketball 👀

I think it's just a poor fit. Thibs best work is on the defensive end, and when you have both KAT and Brunson as your 2 best guys you simply cannot have that stuff as your main game plan when you're not creating anything interesting on offense to offset that. Thibs is fine in a vacuum, but they can't exactly turn KAT into a great defender on the spot so if Thibs can't figure out how to run an offense that's not just "Jalen Brunson can figure it out" then he's capping their prospects. Is the new guy they get going to be any better? No idea. They're choosing the possibility of improving over the certainty of being good, but unable to win a championship.

Feels good to dust off the "Choklahoma Shitty Blunder" moniker again.
 
The Pacers ragebait me into not turning off my TV, just in-case they decide to rally from down 15.
The Thunder ragebait me into not turning off my TV, just in-case they want to foul with 2 minutes left when up by 6+ again to throw.

While this is the most unique finals I will ever see in my life, I hate the duality of both of these teams.
One team sucks on their thumbs for the first two quarters, and the other seems to shoot itself in the last two.
 
How do people the NBA this anymore?

Nobody knows what a foul is, just hurl yourself down the lane and hope for a whistle or kick out for three.

The flopping and 3 ball is egregious yeah. Seeing a big shoot a three is ugly. I do wish they copied the NHL's embellishing rule.

EDIT: Pacers take game 3

Pacers take game 3 with a massive load by their bench, this is ripe for a good finals series. Game 2 had me a bit worried.
