Timberwolves have all this talent but maybe the dumbest team I've watched this year.
How many corner threes did OKC have wide open yesterday?
How many guys in ISO turned into a double team?
Players leaving the strong side to help, dumb, dumb team.
Gobert, DPOY, and I have yet to see him block out to get a rebound.

Are you sure? The Knicks have outscored them by 6 this series and by 33 in 8 games this year. Only a miracle shot by Haliburton and/or a missed goal tend call in Game 1 which came when the Knicks were out of challenges is the difference between the Pacers --320 and the Knicks -370 heading into Game 6.
Actually, I live by the opposite. When a homer jumps off and says their team cannot possibly win, it's usually the time to back up the truck. This comment is not one size fits all. Depends on the homer

Knicks Got High on The Horse After Beating Celtics.
They Learned Quickly That The Job Wasn't Finished.

I don't think they were overconfident. Game 1 disaster aside, they were outshot, plain and simple. Indy 73/187 from 3 while the Knicks were 62 of 197, difference of 33 points on less attempts. Teams were virtually dead even percentage wise in the regular season. Toughest thing to cap in the NBA is 3 point shooting. Indy had games of 5/25 and 3/30 vs the Knicks this year and lost while they went 17 of 33 last night. They were better last night and deserved to win

OKC price is mind boggling, they're certainly not the 91 Bulls, but then again books want some Pacer action which they will get.
Indy has definitely had a easy road to the Final. Knicks were gassed in the 2H if you watched their defense give up lay up after lay up.
I guess you find the best price on OKC and fire or find some discount versus series for SAG, MVP

Regular and postseason combined they're 80-18. They also broke the record for most double digit wins with 54. They might not be the 91 Bulls, but they're pretty fucking good
i went to the adjusted net points.....OKC is better than all the teams including the last year of the 6th ring of the bulls
series to win in 5 games...the favorite +205

A team that looks to one guy only in crunch time (SGA) should never be -530 in the NBA.

Of course in crunch time the ball is in the hands of SGA, but that's the same with every team. Every team puts the ball in the hands of their star in crunch time, Tatum in Boston, Brunson in NY, Haliburton in Indiana, Jokic in Denver, Ant in Minny, Mitchell in Cleveland, I could go on and on. I don't see anything wrong with giving the ball to the MVP in the closing minutes. And OKC is more than just SGA, they have several end of game options, but SGA is their best option, so of course he has the ball

Ever heard of Jalen Williams? He's ten times the player either of those guys were

To clarify, I don't know if the line is high or not, I'm just pointing out that the fact SGA has the ball at the end has nothing to do with the price of the series. I actually give the Pacers a puncher's chance, before the season I made a future on OKC +750 (posted in this forum before the season so the haters can fuck off) but I think the series will be competitive, the difference in the end will be the Thunder's defense, which is the league's best, I'll say OKC in 6

My point is the price is huge considering when they need a bucket they only look to one option.
There's a lot of teams that have legit #2 or #3 options. GSW looked to Butler late, I've seen the Lakeshow draw up for Reeves.
Every time I've seen OKC in critical spots SGA has the ball. Conclusion, they're not a super team by any means and the West was really weak this year.
I would like Indy more if they had a post up game, but they don't. It's do or die from the perimeter.

Jalen Williams made all NBA third team. He averaged 22 points a game, he's a pretty good #2 IMO

80-18 this year, and more than half those wins came by DD's. I don't know what constitutes a "super team", and maybe they're not one, but they're pretty fucking good
i am just talking about shooters kerr is 45% from 3 point....williams is
williams a better player..........NOT a better 3 point guy.............armstrong is better too
Jordan did not need williams on the team.......he just needed a 3 point guy

I'm never "sure" but gave them a little more than 55% chance to win the series, had to take +135.
You're correct, it was very close and competitive despite the big win in Game 6.
Indy didn't do it then they weren't going to win the series.

Can't disagree with you Kane but still think the price is a bit high.
SGA blows a wheel in G1 and what happens then?
I agree with this...big time.. to me it's not like the championship teams in the past although their stats are the best in years.

Indiana does a lot of things well. Have you seen what the patch on their coaches shirt says? 'Drive and Dish'....they're the best at it
and it will screw up OKC who over rotates on everything. Does OKC have a answer for Turner and Siakem? They're physical and athletic
and Indy runs some nice stuff for them on a P & R where they pop out to shoot. The price is really a send out to keep syndicates
from overloading on OKC, all perception. OKC is not 1/5 here.

DEN defense was bad. Indiana's is better. 2H of the season Nugget defense was last in efficiency numbers and didn't improve much in playoffs.
Jokic plays defense with suction cups under his shoes. lol

I also think the series is a little high, think the Pacers will be competitive, I have Thunder in 6Can't disagree with you Kane but still think the price is a bit high.

Game 2 determines the series.
