Sam Vecenie, one of the best draft analysts, just put out his top 20 draft prospects of the last decade.

Wemby, of course, was #1. He was followed by Cooper Flagg and then Zion.

Well, I guess we know where Greg McDermott will be floating his name for his annual pay raise.

Zion sure wouldn't be on any NBA top 20 list for performance.

Turner has been a complete disaster in this series. 

MuggsyB

Carlisle needs to have  a chat with Turner.  He's killing them right now.  He has to get his head in the game. 

MuggsyB

They may not win this game, but McConnell has been incredible. He's not a 40 min guy but you really have to tip your cap to him. 

MuggsyB

Wow.  Didn't expect that.

When Indy takes care of the ball they can beat OKC.  I also think their perimeter D is better tonight.

Awful call there. This game is long ftom over.

So Tyrese's injury was a hurt ego like I said? I'm shocked.

Pacers guards stopped picking up Thunder guards full court. Helped preserve energy for where it really matters - from the arc in.

This. They had Nemby and Nesmith picking up SGA 30 feet from the basket. Another masterclass coaching adjustment by Carlisle.

After being sensational in Game 5, Jalen Williams was -40 in Game 6.

I'm not the biggest fan of that stat, but it's notable because it was the worst plus-minus in a Finals game since at least 1996 (when the stat first became readily available).

LOL! The Bulls continue to be embarrassed by their own FO/HC moves and pulled a video podcast from CHSN that referenced a pending extension for VP/GM Artūras Karnišova. Jerry thinks he has done a great job over the past 5 years. So good in fact, he doesn't want to let people know.   ::)

I have no idea what will happen in G7.  Obviously, you have to go with OKC because they're on their home floor.  That said, when Indiana hasn't kicked the ball away, they've looked like the better team to me.  They have multiple guys that can give you big games, OKC doesn't.  When they have to score in the h-court, it's essentially SGA and JW isolation.  Indiana in much more balanced despite Turner having cataclysmic issues.  The question is can Indy take care of the ball?  I expect OKC to win but the turnover stats will determine this game.

After the playoffs, I think the Rockets just decided that Jalen Green was not a player worth investing anymore into. Now I don't think KD's going to bring any sort of magic to this team, but an experienced scorer may not be a bad thing.

I think this is about right.

They're better than they were yesterday. They're still not a title team.
