Game 7 here we go

Congrats, your team got KD, should be interesting as a fan.

As for my faves, I just follow my favorite players.. Ant and Book
Very interesting! Might not win the championship but I be damned if the Rockets arent at least a team to reckon. That's basically all we need at least, from here we can build up.

Jalen Green is good and could be smth serious down the years but I don't think he's that guy rn or next year.

The biggest downside is letting Brooks go cos that guy was a dog and every team needs an individual like that. Just like someone mentioned earlier we need more shooting and D. And also if we can also flip Cam Whitmore for someone more solid.

The biggest upside is at least Sheppard gets more reps and the team gets another Vet to learn from. I just hope KD is managed well health wise so that he can be available when it matters most.

As of now our most valuable asset is Amen Thompson. Am hopeful but am also realistic this will at least push us into the SemiFinals of the Western Conference.

AntMan will still make waves down the years but Def he needs either a legit sidekick or Leader or stronger squad strength. Booker had the best shot at championship that year but Giannis will and determination was stronger than his.

And hey y'all, watch this space for Morant..cos honestly I really don't know what Memphis direction is rn.

NBA Finals begins. Cheers.

If Haliburton can't overcome this injury and play on, then it's safe to say OKC congratulations.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:26am On Jun 23, 2025
I guess you all believe now? Are they still milking it? Is Hali still faking it?

Y’all just be human and keep your hate to the side.

That calf is torn, if you watch the replay and the right, you would see the moment.

Yea, this has become even more difficult. The only positive if there is any, is that, it is still the first quarter. They just need to withstand the emotional weight that comes with the loss, gather themselves and rely heavily of Siakam.

You just have to feel pity for Haliburton embarassed

Yeah he's out, I hate situations like this, mentally it can be draining for the other team and it also give OKC more confidence to be bullish.

It's now the worth of Haliburton will now shine very well.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:14am On Jun 23, 2025
OKC role players have been poor. They have to step up and help SGA. The Pacers are doing what they need to do, which is, stick around.

Rely on Siakam, yeah. Heavily, I doubt it. There’s Swiss Army knives everywhere you look on this team. Mathurin looks like he’s here to play. TJ and Nembhard are chipping in. Siakam just needs to ice it with his defense and scoring as well.

Jdub and Chet have been really bad; Particularly Chet, he has been a liability on both ends. OKC turning out to be mental midgets bar SGA

Also, sorry about your boy, be like na ACL cry

You are right in some sense though. This offense isn’t necessarily built around one person scoring heavily, however, they are going to need Siakam, particularly if they are still within touch in the 4th because of his experience. He helps them with important buckets.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 2:43am On Jun 23, 2025
Those dagger 3s from OKC and they are up by 9 in the third quarter.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:50am On Jun 23, 2025
TJ on a tear!
Re: The NBA Begins by Kibbs(m): 3:00am On Jun 23, 2025
TJ’s hitting a middy over Shai and finishing at the rim over Chet. I’m seeing things
Re: The NBA Begins by Kibbs(m): 3:13am On Jun 23, 2025
Congrats OKC.. Pacers not coming back from this one
Re: The NBA Begins by User09: 3:14am On Jun 23, 2025
SGA should be getting the finals MVP and deservedly so.

Congrats OKC. Shame it went all the way to Game 7
Re: The NBA Begins by Ridwan1821: 3:18am On Jun 23, 2025
It's game over for the Pacers now it seems.

It did t look good when he went down. It’s one of those things.

Chet has had a turn around, particularly on defense.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:33am On Jun 23, 2025
Well damn that sucked. I will admit I underrated Hali's injury

OKC devil magic is no joke man. First Gordon now Haliburton
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:40am On Jun 23, 2025
KD to the Rockets. Offloading Brooks and Green two of their inefficient black holes on offense was a very good decision

Mathurin has really tried to make this game close. Everyone else has gone ghost this 4th
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:46am On Jun 23, 2025
Congratulations to the Thunder, well deserved.

Bigger congratulations to my G on this thread, Aliondo. You saw your team through the worst and your patience has paid off.
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 3:58am On Jun 23, 2025
