This round has had some pretty good games.

Would be pretty crazy if it ended up being Knicks vs Wolves. I honestly thought the KAT/Randle trade was dumb for both teams, but if they both end up in the Finals then I guess I was wrong.

There have been so many storylines from this round alone. I'm loving these playoffs.

I'm doing my annual break-up with YouTube TV until October, though. I have 6 more days.
 
Shame Steve Kerr took the confidence of his own players away. Now he needs them, but they are scared too play.

They need a miracle tonight. Poj sucks.

Seems it's clear luck is highly involved looking at conference finals teams this year and last. Pretty sure all 4 each year were completely healthy in run to conference finals.

luck wasn't involved for OKC. They're just that much better than everyone else. #1 seed 2 years in a row is hardly the result of luck. Chet was out for several months this year with injury yet they still has best record in the conference.

They are really good like the Cavs and Cs.....but the Cavs and Cs lost key pieces in last round. OKC been completely healthy.

Not knocking them being a #1 seed or arguably the best team......but if they lost some key pieces there's a good chance they might have lost a series. You really think it's just coincidence the 8 teams who made conf. finals last 2 years were pretty much entirely healthy?
 
One other name that I think scouts should be looking at, but I'm not hearing any reviews about: Washington State's Jaylen Wells. Athletic, has size/length, and can shoot. He could also have a monster senior season, should he come back again.

I wrote this in March of 2024. Very little draft buzz about him. One year later he makes All-Rookie 1st Team. I want to say I should be a professional scout, but Jaylen Wells looked so obviously like a future NBA player; still shocked that it took so long to to generate buzz around him.
 
Even though Indiana is the closest NBA team to me, im pulling for SGA. Wanna see a wildcat get a ring.
Cason Wallace has also played a good role in these playoffs. He's not playing an offensive threat, but he has owned his role perfectly. Very solid defensively, and always seems to make the right play, whether it's a pass or just an open corner three.

I want Indiana to win the next game out of selfish reasons of having a game 7 which, OKC ends up winning it all.
 
as y'all know, I follow some pretty terrible teams (DePaul, LSU, Atlanta Hawks) but 2 years ago when I started following OKC because of CHet I never dreamed I'd get to see a team a game away from a chip in 2 years time. Been a very fun ride following this great team that is also super likeable to a man.

One more game!
