Pacers blew their load when they failed to close out game 4. Maybe that can push it to 7 but I have a hard time seeing them win this series now.

Yeah that was it. Those 3 minutes from up 103-99 to losing will haunt me for a lifetime. Had to close out and go up 3-1. Fucking gutted for them.
OKC is too damn good. It takes every ounce of effort and perfection from the Pacers. Thunder make it look easy.
Just hope they aren’t lifting the trophy in our building Thursday. Maybe push it 7 and pray they get tight at home (ala GSW).

Let’s go ‘Cers.
48 minutes to history. Need the power of the Supersonics on their side Sunday.

Damn, that was a nasty injury and rough to have it happen to a star in Game 7 of the Finals.
OKC didn’t win it with Durant/Harden/Westbrook, but they have a Title now.

I was thinking about that when they eliminated Minnesota, how crazy it would be for them to do it with this team but not Durant and Westbrook

Fucking crushing.
Felt like a funeral in the city after that. Never imagined having that happen in a Game 7. Not only do you lose the game but the team likely just lost their window of opportunity - at least one solid year next year. That team and Haliburton deserves so much better with this ending. Incredible run and display of team basketball. I truly believe he was gonna do it tonight (3-4 3p start).
Sports are so fucking stupid sometimes. That series will haunt me for a long long time (Game 4 choke at home and the replay of Hali’s achilles blowing up the dreams of a title).
Will have to hang on to the ABA banners for now.

Sources: Billups, Rozier face gambling charges
Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Heat guard Terry Rozier have been arrested as part of a pair of investigations related to illegal gambling, sources told ESPN.
Dan Moldea is a phenomenal investigative journalist specializing in the mob
This book impacted me a great deal
A shocking exposé of widespread corruption and mob influence throughout the National Football League—on the field, in the owners’ boxes, and in the corporate suites According to investigative journalist Dan E. Moldea, for decades the National Football League has had a strong and unspoken understanding with a dangerous organized crime. In his classic exposé, Interference, Moldea bares the dark, sordid underbelly of America’s favorite professional team sport, revealing a nest of corruption that the league has largely ignored since its inception. Based on intensive research and in-depth interviews with coaches, players, mobsters, bookies, gamblers, referees, and league officials—including some of the sport’s all-time greats—the author’s shocking allegations suggest that the betting line is firmly in the hands of the mob, who occasionally manipulate the on-field action for maximum profit. Interference chronicles a long-standing history of gambling, drugs, and extortion, of point-shaving and game-fixing, and reveals the eye-opening truth about numerous gridiron contests where the final results were determined even before the kickoff. Moldea exposes the mob connections of many of the team owners and their startling complicity in illegal gambling operations, while showing how NFL internal security has managed to quash nearly every investigation into illegality and corruption within the professional football world before it could get off the ground. Provocative, disturbing, and controversial, Interference is a must-read for football fans and detractors alike, offering indisputable proof that what’s really happening on the field, in the locker room, and behind the scenes is a whole different ball game.
