So does OKC use their picks on players who might be competent right away or do they go for projects who need a lot of development?

With this championship, I think OKC keeps this core together. They might trade some of their bench depth, but they are not likely to cash in their draft picks to bring in another big star.

I love how the analysts are assuming Hali was gonna have a monster game based on a half of a quarter

I wonder if there’s an E on thunderblogger who has been hating on presti for the last 15 years for being stuck in the mezzanine

Touching to see iHart with his kids up on the podium.

But you know what? The ‘96 Bulls this OKC team isn’t. After that Strickland article, I’m even more convinced: Let’s get the right coach to unlock our boys’ true potential, and let’s win the whole fucking thing next season.

Must be tough for Pacers fans you get injury luck, crazy late game heroics, all sorts of flukey shots going in, you play great against OKC, you start to believe holy shit it’s actually real we’re going to do it and then Hali tears his achilles and it’s over. Just brutal.

Hali with the epic choke job

Honestly I thought Indy’s defense was excellent in this series, they played just as hard on defense if not harder but just didn’t have the same quality of defensive personnel.

Yeah, it appears OKC struggles if you don’t turn the ball over and Hali is amazing at that.

Credit to him for playing hurt. Probably shouldnt have been out there.

Congrats to OKC. While I’d pump the breaks on a dynasty talk, their elite defense and Shai will always have them in the mix. Their offense needs a lot of work. Their offseason acquisitions of Caruso and iHart (why couldn’t you stay in NY brother man?) were so key.

As for the Pacers, I’m a bitter Knicks fan so hard to give them their props but it was an insane run… one of those runs you HAVE to take advantage of. Miracle wins, players playing our of their minds, injuries and inept coaching from opponents…you don’t win then than a hard time getting this close again.

No comment on Hali injury except second straight playoff with leg injuries… approaching injury-prone/can he stay healthy the whole year status
