2024-2025 NBA Season Thread • Page 448

Like I can understand not *wanting* OKC to win for various reasons but boring?

 

Happiness ranking:
Tier 1: Wolves and Pacers
Tier 2: Knicks (bing bong)
Tier 3: Thunder

Thunder getting the first franchise championship is a lot better than a Celtics or Lakers win, but the clear favorite winning in the end is gonna be a bummer vs. three very under underdogs.

Wolves in 6

 

Wild stuff

 

The big #1 seed winning is less exciting than another small market team making an upset against said obvious favorite team, while winning their first title in franchise history. It’s not complicated stuff!

it’s very sick that we get another new champ this year, and the most recent title being from the 70’s from these franchises is a remarkable testament to parity.

 

Wolves winning with a Randle mvp is my favorite outcome

 

I’m kinda indifferent on who wins from here. Prob want the Knicks the least.

 

Randle going from playoff choker to Finals MVP will be one hell of a turnaround

 

wolves have been something like 25-6 or so since the end of February, they haven't looked particularly great because I mostly think they have just been playing down to the lakers/warriors in both series so it will be interesting how they adjust to a deep thunder team. the offense is starting to roll now that randle is getting used to the system and the defense has been the main point of the team. If Naz and Donte can be more consistent on the offensive end I think wolves take it in 6.

 

@Sean Murphy I’m sure this has been discussed before but I don’t remember, how are you a Bucks fan? This isn’t a gotcha I’m genuinely curious lol

 

He’s a Knicks fan wdym

 

BING BONG

 

Let the man say his piece

 

the minute after Giannis won a championship

 

sorry, GINNIS

 

I will happily cheer for the knicks as well

 

hE gOnE

 

Gotcha

 

don’t dox me

 

Jokic requesting a trade would shock me, and he’d be worth way more than any team could give

 

There is a less than zero percent chance Jokic requests a trade this offseason.

If they do nothing to try and improve the team and next season ends in the same fashion, maybe.

 

They need to get off MPJ’s contract badly

 

how did he swing such a large contract? given how much everyone has shit on him recently.

 

A mixture of small market team having to overpay and him showing a lot of promise once
