The problem with that OKC team is the fact they ran into the BIG 3 heat.

Then the cheap ass owner didn't want to pay to keep that core together... :smh:

Also, who knows when they would've started feeling like they should get the ball more which would lead to arguments and the team breaking up with one of them demanding a trade.

So, that's why I wouldn't say they would've won multiple championships.

Highly unlikely but I hope this NY-IND series can make it to 7 games. OKC-MIN let me down.

No,no,no,no,no because I need the pacers to finish em tonight..I just wished they swept them, if it wasn't for the pacers choking that game because they could've been celebrating at home winning the conference finals.

But it's always tough playing in New York with the refs helping them too.

The cheap owner has never wanted to pay; he didnt want to pay PG and or get more help to OKC; and hes not gonna want to pay to keep this team together either! Their bill is gonna be like about 400 plus million in 26 lol; he going to trade them for sure; they are like the tampa rays of baseball...

You dont need to lose a lot of players to affect your team negatively; this aint football; Denver lost 2 players and now no longer championship; Boston about to trade players and so will others; these teams lose one or 2 players and it changes the whole dynamic of the team...

I think it has more to do with ego and hunger. Bulls switched up role players on all those championship team

Nah those are things that media try to present that is bullshit; a team is better than another than they are just better; it don’t matter how hungry a team is; the bulls switched out Grant for Rodman a hall of famer; and added Harper, a solid player; but again player salaries wasn’t as high and there wasn’t no luxury tax! These owners don’t want to pay the penalties; it’s as simple as that!!

no more 5 year runs with this CBA book that; and the NBA hasnt had a lot of parity; it existed in the 70s for a short period and it exist now; other than that it has been the same teams winning since 1980; remember contracts are only like 4 years; you think OKC can pay Chet Shai and Jay the max?? just think about this; lets say they dont get max and only get 40 mill per; thats 3 players at 120 mill; thats if they dont get max; so that salary cap is 140(only 20 mill more) and the luxury is 170; a team has to have at least 12 or 13 players i think; are you fully understanding the numbers now?? the starters alone will put you well about the luxury tax; now ask yourself what team owner is gonna want to pay a payroll of 400-500 million for 5 years???

yeah i was focusing on the last 7 years in the nba as far as parity. as far as 5 year runs.... i still think its possible for teams to have 5 year runs. not a championship every year but at least getting to the finals 2-3 times and winning 2. as far as okc goes they got too many picks over the next what 7 years? and most definitely jwill or chet will be moved at some point but i think they can stay in that realm. barring injuries i think the rest of the association is about 3-4 years behind them.

If both teams are hungry then somebody still has to lose right? so how can one say one team has more hunger than another?? thats bullshit!! again hunger, as it relates to sports, is media fodder; something for these media nerds to judge players
