Hard to lose a game that you are ahead in for all but 0.3 seconds.  But don't count OKC out. Long live SGA!

 

Such tight defense for 3/4's of the game, and then Indy slowly started climbing out of the hole.  As soon as they got it under ten, you knew OKC needed to tighten up, but they didn't.  More games, more fun for all of us!  Cheers!

Gee this is a fun game 3. I’m enjoying watching the SGA/Nembhard matchup. McConnell’s playing well too.

Both teams are young, so this may be a long-term rivalry!  Cheers!

I don’t follow baseball closely or soccer or F1. Hadn’t really followed what was going on with this group closely. Quite the sports portfolio for TWG/Guggenheim.

And Jeanie Buss goes from being (supposedly) the cash poorest NBA owner to getting a $10B payday.

And almost certainly, Magic Johnson is going to have some advisory role again with them.  I'm sure LeBron is quite happy!  Cheers!

Congratulations to OKC winning the NBA Finals!  SGA has catapulted himself into the discussion of Greatest Canadian NBA Player Ever and possibly one of the greatest NBA Players Ever...all at 26 years old!  And he makes it look awfully easy...kind of like Dwayne Wade used to.  Smooth, smart and incredibly lethal with few turnovers!

Amazing what Canada's basketball program is doing in the last decade.

 

Wish Indiana star Halliburton a speedy recovery...sad and really bad luck to see him go down in Game 7...might have made the difference.  But they will probably win one soon as well!

 

Cheers!

Wow.

Oklahoma finally holds the number-one spot in something unrelated to domestic violence.

7 different champions over the past 7 years. Love him or hate him but Silver has made this one of the most watchable leagues in professional sports.

Am I the only Oklahoman on the whole board?

You also have the most strong tornadoes per unit area!  Cheers!

Really great finals.  First seven gamer since Cleveland’s thrilling comeback against Golden State.

Yup, congrats to OKC.  SGA is something.
