final so they started this Thursday and uh damn who wrote this and unfortunately it will be the Oklahoma City Thunderface and Indiana Pacers with Game 1 being OKC let's get into it everyone um who do you have winning the championship and in how many games I'm starting off you can give me OKC in six I think Indiana is good enough to hang in there for a couple games and they're gonna get a couple I really do believe that they have a good I'm excited to see the series I really really am because you got two because you got two sets of dogs on both sides you got you got defensive stoppers on both sides they kind of hear each other and you know they both got the tall line key point guards that can get it done I just think that SGA is more consistent than what kind of what you're talking about like you need to buy some Oklahoma gear because that's the closest that anybody near Texas is gonna be in the farm. Hey, you should have tried that out. I was just about to bring it that Eagles background like you need to be more coherent with everything that we got going on like they like they like we wanted it like two weeks old the fuck like I mean you can show this off the background. I told him I agree with you.
OKC and six I was listening to Jay Williams Jay Williams the black one on ESPN earlier and I want to percent agree with his take they and like you said these teams marry each other just OKC has a better version of what Indiana has right like Tyree's Halliburton underrated point guard or overrated point guard whatever you want to call him he's in the finals but OKC got MVP um gritty white boy that comes off the bench yeah you know you guys got um McConnell they got Caruso champion. Like everything that they have they just it's like one or two steps better than what Indiana has um I can also see OKC winning it in five because they're just that much better you know what I'm saying I love the matchup um but Indiana strength won't be as strong against OKC like it was against New York like when Indiana was getting fast break buckets off of made buckets from New York that's not gonna happen to OKC you know you're not gonna get them buckets now you can play up and down but OKC can play that pace too so it's gonna be very interesting but I got OKC 6 I got thundering 5 I don't think it's going to be a competitive series at all I think that the uh places are outmatched like I think that what OKC does on defense and how they were able to shut down Bronson and all the other opponents that they had in the office excuse me in the playoffs like I don't see Halliburton being that guy to be like oh I'm gonna break this down and I'm gonna come out on the end and and and carry my team to a couple of wins I don't see that so I got OKC in five I'm gonna echo that I think OKC wins this in five would not be surprised if it goes to six but I'm betting on five I'm betting on really close games and I'm gonna always put my money on at this point the OKC execution the last three minutes I think that they're going to out execute the uh Pacers I think the Pacers are gonna come back in one or two games and make it really fun I think they might take game one or game two so that's gonna beat a lot of drama for the series and I like that but um what these two teams are you're the number one offense in the NBA and the playoffs I mean and then you have the number one defense uh and I think what Fifos eluding to is that in the half court when you as OKC Thunder specialize and stopping the ball right like we're not gonna let you and even if you somehow meet in the middle you're not gonna get as many fast break points like the Pacers want to do space and pace the OKC Thunder when you get the ball into the half court on defense there's not somebody on the pacer side that I think strikes fear into the heart of the Thunder as a score as a guy that can just pull up I'm dropping 40 tonight I don't care everything is off of back cuts everything off is off the driving kick everything revolves around Halliburton and I think that they're gonna try to just give him a bunch of different looks with Dort and a bunch of different looks with Caruso different looks with you know SGA you know with the help and then they're gonna try to funnel everything into Chet and Hardin State to make it tough I think Ciacom's gonna have to be the one that carries the Pacers in a lot of these games because they're gonna pay so much attention to Halliburton and how he creates and I think that's exactly what the Thunder one is one on one so unless the outcome and Miles Turner have the games of their life with some added help from Nismith and Tia McConnell I don't see this going further than five games because I think the OKC is that they just young demons bro they get out and they run and they create turnovers I got OKC and four my heart said OKC but I'm thinking you just sour because they beat the next lesson I'm thinking this I'm thinking this okay C has home quarter advantage they have MVP and they have the one thing that what what Nico Collins been telling us all year can whatever they is Nico whatever he's saying defense was championships and like you pointed out and what I was trying to say about the last years with the Knicks I was like if the Knicks can just play some defense they can kind of make this a series clearly they didn't but OKC is a different monster I'm gonna be going to add he gonna follow charges on the for sexual assault based off of how much I was paying hey just hey hey maybe harassing niggas when you get into later anytime no they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know they didn't know what all I'm saying is I think oh I don't think this I don't think this is going to be much of an entertaining finals I think this is going to be like oh seven Spurs caps where they just the Andy's just a happy to be here we ain't know who these niggas really was they got one guy that everybody kind of likes maybe undercover but every week you never cease to amaze me at least one of your people I'm just trying to say like this is why people I wanted to talk to you if you have trouble with yourself honestly just have him watch this thing. I'm not going to knock on all the counts because I'm boring as hell. So you got to get into the niggas somewhere going to be curled up with his timelins listening to live at the death crying shit.
When Nick mentioned harassing it reminded me of I think it was in the final game where the the nicks just crossed half court and they just swarmed Jalen Russell. They were all men it was it was actually beautiful to watch. I think though this is going seven. Oh man you hope they do.
I don't so I think I think the Pacers and Rick Carlisle the way they run the offense the way they play I think it could work against okay see and I think because everybody is essentially hot. I think Siakum has an advantage over chat he's probably going to cook chat if check guard. That's not that matchup. Oh and that's what I was saying.
Who's going to go out and mile start him because he's probably going to light mile start him. Miles start him struggling. I think hard it's hard to stop. You might have a better matchup.
Yeah. So yeah who's going to go out to the ockum? It's going to be dirt. No ludor.
You're going to have to probably take Hallibur. Cool. No you know you put Caruso on high Hallibur. Yeah I was going to say part and style would go for Siakum and I would put chat on Turner.
Well either way I think Siakum may have an advantage. But I don't know man I think it's one of those moments where I feel like we think it's going to be one of those games where it's going to be an onion and a thing but I think the Pacers could probably steal game one and we may have a series. I think that offense their offense is really good. I don't know I'll be curious to see how okay see you slow down but I still got okay see winning.
Yeah. You said I'm in the games. So many games here. He says he says seven.
Ken the one thing that you just said right at the very end is the difference to me in the series. Indiana can't play half court offense like like a stroke because they don't have a go to guy like that. Siakum is nice but he's not a real bucket getter like that. He's their bucket getter but he's not a true bucket getter like that.
They have to play out of fast pace. If okay see makes an adjustment because I think just the natural the naturalness of them being young they're going to want to get up and down. If it becomes a track meet a good coach is going to slow down be like you know what this game let's slow down let's see how they react to favor though. Do you think okay see okay see they got out last of this because last of the only advantage I see india haven't in the city is a head coach outside of that everything to me favors okay see because they just as young they play better defense they have an MVP like they have roleplays they go deep in the bench too.
It's just Rick Carl has been here done that and he can he can figure out something that I don't even know the hamburger whoever the head coach is okay see he can probably do some things to make it close but if we're talking about sj one of these most of these games is gonna say just shit let me do and the thing is okay see is so deep that I don't think that the guys would have ego about if Halliburton starts cooking I think that you would immediately go to a defensive lineup with maybe just sj in general Williams as like your two guys you would probably put Caruso Thor and then probably Hart and seeing him to see if you can slow down whatever Halliburton has going on and I think that that's going to work more often than not. Like I keep saying if if the if the Pacers had like Anthony Edwards like next to Halliburton this would be like okay this is this is going seven for sure because when the offense breaks down and the first read in there second read there and get a bucket like yo we need 30 like just go off right there's no one on the Pacers that out of of course because the Knicks broke down because their defensive rotations and they were so tired at a certain point that they just kind of quit of course that the Pacers started just hitting out of rhythm buckets out of offensive rhythm off off-script is what I'm saying uh that started to happen but that was just a byproduct of them running the Knicks dry you know what I'm saying I don't think you can do that to the Thunder because they have like I keep saying they're the defensive version of what the Pacers do on offense they are just as deep as the Pacers are in offense the difference is that I think defense wins championships and you have two better offensive guys in SGA and Williams. Hey Nick how'd that go get a workout from Minnesota? I felt that's such an astute point because I'm not trying to restore my conversation again but if they lose I don't want to hear anything about the baby Thunder because that's exactly what we did so you know no there's no excuses now we're gonna check that's what y'all did this year bro you had three folks disrespect them all season long and the playoffs I'm not disrespecting them I never picked them but they're here so I have to do what was here it's disrespectful disrespect is like yo I think they terrible I'm just like yo I think they're too young they this is not a normal thing they this is not a normal thing they were young and I was still bet that the average NBA fan will stick to that analysis of a young team can't really win like that this is unheard of unprecedented so you got to give respect to it okay I think we win either way because if okay see those they shit the bad week I'm coming out the same press the energy and all them if any get blown out I want to shit about who's a Burton the bar Burton that's all I'm trying to say I guess I just want to see what the supporting cast look like for SGA on the stage I think it's different like I think they their run hasn't really had any true pressure to it first say am I am I'm I'm being compared to it the paces and like yeah you can count them they've had a bush it has like bench there was no depth and then but I'm looking at the paces run a little bit different so I'm not saying I'm not taking the paces but I'm just interested to see what I'm doing we can do inconsistent like y'all okay I mean he's the number two option and if it does turn into a drag me like if your number two was being inconsistent that's just enough room for the paces to win so I'm not I'm but he could be he could be remember when James Hardin was in the finals and that changed his whole career he still was he still accomplished a lot he still was a but it changed his whole career this is where I feel like Jay Jay Williams can be in that same mode where like I can mention uh daily he is gonna be turn the page and get better from his inconsistencies or this is the player that he is and I think the series will come down to okay sees big three with Shay and Williams they gotta be great they I said they get through you know three three yeah I'm just interested to see exactly how to I mean that's they're this little young team but I just don't I don't know if I'm 100% sold like I'm a sounding people and thank you I don't know if I'm 100% sold or like then having like the the uh war wounds I'm more convinced than Indiana than I am it's Indiana's war with me I mean Indiana had to go through the honors they went through the number one team they had like really I think the next was as good as they they made it to the e-commerce finals and playing the Madison Square Garden watch a hollabort playing on that stage like that repeatedly that says a lot bro like I mean that says a lot I agree I think that you know it really is a pick them I'm not gonna disrespect nobody picking either Indian or OKC it's just I just go back to what I've seen from them making your kids just game very uncomfortable for him and rendering the rest of that Denver roster like kind of just unplayable at certain points it really is a pick them and I think that we have to look at the elevation and growth of this team as an outlier so everyone who called me you know contradictory or whatever I don't think that's a contradiction when new information presents itself I can say that yeah this is an outlier but I'm still not gonna pivot from the fact that the NBA grown men normally win finals veterans only win finals so so this this this could be the year where young thoughts finally do it and that would be crazy to see and I know they're gonna talk about Yogi like yeah I mean yeah maybe Yogi but there was a six-man like a six-man rotation basically and then and going and got hurt at the end of the series like I mean yeah so yeah I mean they took him to 70 Denver should not have taken okay to seven and it would be an honest about like that team should not I mean Yogi is great but the team everybody around him because your mom are very very shoulder Russell Russell was inconsistent like they should not have taken her in court it was hurt and like so like they shouldn't have taken themselves yeah I hear y'all talking about Yogi's and the half of the day they didn't have any little shoulder yeah so like and I'm not making excuses but I'm just saying like we talking about War when we got a pass Yogi's this year but I didn't like it then but it's like formidable this year so yeah that's why I think it'll be interesting man none of these things neither one of these guys have been on the stage before like yeah so it's all it might be a mess you know I also want to say from my coincidence believers it's uh this the first finals like we said that is not gonna be held in California or uh lost our Texas Texas in the last uh 20-something years and this is also gonna be the first team uh first two teams that are not in the luxury tax so it's very much so a tariff NBA finals so y'all make sure you enjoy this it's gonna be a great time for all of them.
Ain't nobody enjoying this outside of the state of Oklahoma. Nick gonna be caught up with his Hennessy listening to infamous crying like the next fan shouldn't be so rough you know I'm saying it's a cream you know what I mean honestly man if you enjoy basketball this is the only good series like it is true niggas just want to see fucking Superstar. That's the case you should just pull up to any uh Wreck League and have a great time. No either.
I mean Katie there Katie about there is Slovenia watching a double B semi-protein like they have eight playing good offense. Okay time to be fans of Superstar and that's it they say they're fans team but they just fans and then y'all kind of be like oh man parody the NBA parody the NBA and then they're like they're watching it you know because they owners like I kind of though agree with Jaylen though but not from the purity standpoint but just well just but to add to it like SGA is the name he's the MVP so we know who he is. Halliburton went into New York and made a name for himself like he became a villain. He first shot.
Yeah he's in the spot like that and the chokes on it so it's not like you're not going into the finals not knowing a guy from from the Pacers we know Halliburton now and his daddy. Yes and when it was time for him to close in Game 6 he went on. Alright we can move on. We got some chumlin.
Nick Buss I tremble in this shit. The big bird in the head and heck we'll run this. Okay the end too. So.
