OKC is going to be the greatest dynasty in the history of the NBA. This really will be their worst team to win a championship during their run

Yep. Called it in 6. ????

OKC is now one win away from winning the championship. They have been the best team all season and will be deserving champions, if they hold on to win the series.

Indiana’s magical run appears to be running out of fuel. It gave the playoffs some excitement but it looks as if the better team will ultimately be crowned NBA champions…

Unless the Pacers can muster up a few more incredible comebacks.
