Looks like we’re one quarter away from Spurs-Thunder going the distance, with SA up 26 headed to the 4th. Too bad none of the other games have been anywhere near as epic as Game 1. Hopefully Game 7 comes through.

Also OKC’s loss means the NBA will have a different champion for the 8th straight season. That’s over one-quarter of the league’s teams. It will also be 13 of the past 16 Finals teams that are different. Pretty good parity for a league that has typically been defined by dynasties.

Set aside Wemby's two silly fouls in the 4Q, he targeted the 3pt shooter in the corner by collapsing the distance of what, 30 feet inside of 1.5 seconds. Too bad he doesn't have long enough arms to impress upon the shooter. (o;

If he stays healthy he could be the most impactful big man the NBA has seen since Wilt.

I’m kind of glad to see OKC go, although I don’t really dislike them. But I preferred this Finals matchup and think it’s going to be an epic one. Who do you guys got? I lean NYK in 7. But Wemby is truly transcendent.

It’s an interesting matchup. KAT is the most skilled big Wemby has faced this side of Jokic….and fwiw the Nuggets won all 4 matchups with the Spurs this season. The Knicks also won the biggest matchup between the two this season in the NBA Cup championship. Hoping for a fun series.

Series parlay Spurs and Hurricanes so for both to lose gm 1 at home Im not happy

[mweb08]

Fair.

I'm not rooting for the Knicks, but this is a pretty likable group and if I separate them from Yankees fans, they're an organization that's easy to root for imo.

I didn't have a strong lean on this series, but I did win a little on the Knicks moneyline (with a boost) and more on the under tonight. I won a good amount on the Spurs last series.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Gut has told me the Knicks would win this series heading into it. We will see. Long way to go. THough Game 2 feels like a must have for Spurs. The parlay was made weeks ago

[mweb08]

I also won my 3 leg parlay. A perfect betting night for me.
