The 2025 NBA Finals Thread

He's their Mikal Bridges/Shawn Marion. The guy who picks up the slack but doesn't get credit for that until he's not there. He's also a cheap salary. I think he's eligible for an extension this off season as well. Presti could probably replace him with their 49 picks over the next couple of seasons but if he's paid attention then he'll run it back again before dangling him for an established #2 to bump Chet down a little.

Jalen Williams is a bit cold-blooded when it comes to shooting. Every team needs a shooter that is not afraid to take the big shot.
I like him as a player.

Thanks. I am going all in on OKC.

Thanks. I am going all in on OKC.

Does that include your house?

I find myself rooting for the Knicks as well and it's not just because Bridges and Payne play on the team.

There is something gritty that Brunson brings to the team and how they are built.

Also, Halliburton is so good for the Pacers. I keep thinking about what could have been.

I’m pulling for the pacers and OKC. I think that would be a fun finals. Also, I like rooting for the smaller market teams.

No I bet your house. Don't worry, they got this.

Feels like Minnesota is three bad minutes away from being down 20. OKC came to play tonight.

Terrence Shannon Jr. looks like a good young player in the making for the Wolves.

OKC leads the Timberwolves by 8 points at halftime.

Watched him a lot at Illinois. He’s going to be a solid player

I haven't watched him much, but it looks like he has all the right ingredients.

Classic hump game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jalen Williams with a huge three to put OKC up by 7 points with 3:32 left in the game.

[Mainstreet]

Jalen Williams is putting on a show.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Could never get over the hump.

 

[Hoop Head]

Tough miss.

 

[Dback Jon]

Close game

 

[Hoop Head]

Final minute stretched out over an hour.

 

[Mainstreet]

There should have been .6 on the clock.

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC goes up 3-1 over the Timberwolves in a hard fought game, 128-126.

 

[Hoop Head]

OKC 3-1

Shai is so humble. I'm surprised the league doesn't market him more. Seems like a great young man.

Chet Holmgren... not a super tall guy that happens to play basketball. Instead, a basketball player that happens to be super tall. Love his game.

And he will only get better.
