I still can't believe the Knicks won a Finals game on the road in which they only shot 5 free throws in the second half and they had to use a challenge just to get 3 of them.
Never forget...
Five years ago, Jon Rahm lead The @MemorialGolf by 6 shots after 3 rounds.
But was told walking off the 18th green that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and had to withdraw before the final round.
What a weird time/moment.
The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but OKC is not going to trade away a young All NBA player + great role players on great contracts + 1st round picks to receive worse players + worse picks.
Auburn threw out Koivun first, Oklahoma State matched.
Bratton: “Strength on strength.”
Clinard: “That’s exactly what we wanted when we threw him out. That’s what TV wanted too.”
As another coach added, “You better throw your Friday starter against their Friday starter or you’re telling him you don’t think he’s as good.”
I’m ngl I’m pretty optimistic for the future.
OKC just took an elite 60+ win SA team to 7 games without JDub and Ajay, and Shai was pretty bad for most of the series.
The fact they were able to be in the game and the series this late is a testament to the pedigree in the org.
