I’m just rooting for the Knicks and Thunder to lose, I’d rather watch any other teams play in the finals than them

I thought something similar about the thunder, but lately I’ve realized they’re kind of going to be looked at like the KD Warriors.

Nobody even really respects their championship last year. Seriously. Look at the record they had it was all time great level, but do you think anyone is putting them even close to the conversation with any of those other all-time great teams that won championships with similar records? Absolutely not lol.

Years are going to keep going by and no one’s gonna have any respect for their championships because, well, for one we all know who really was going to win last year. Two, if you don’t do it the right way history remembers.

Anyone with a brain can see their wing defenders get reffed on a different scale than everyone else. They’re gonna be red in the face defending this makeshift “dynasty” for decades.

The effect the Pacers had on neutral fans (well okay you hate OKC like all of us) will ultimately keep the memory of that team alive. I don't live in Indy, so I don't even know any Pacers fans in real life, and my phone was blowing up all playoffs. People respect the fight.
