Denver gave OKC the toughest series and even in that series, OKC had a few no-brainer blowouts and DEN stole Game 1 on a huge miracle of their own and a big OKC choke (kind of the theme in this postseason, teams just blowing games in the final 1-2 minutes despite having a sizable lead).

They've had a pretty dominant run with DEN mixed in. About to be 12-4, and good chance they'll finish the postseason 16-5 or 16-6. Boston went 16-3 last year for example.

What made you think they were likeable in the first place?

Defense. Athleticism. Good teamwork in first 2 rounds. Ant-man.

I had a similar reaction as you to them in the 1st half of this year. I did not watch them much in the 2nd half (or final 1/3rd) when they went on a run. So I went into the playoffs disliking them and disliking them with Randle.

However, I enjoyed how they played in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Randle was playing the best basketball of his career. The team was closer to last year's squad now that Randle was playing well. They were enjoyable to watch once again. And according to others who watched Minny in latter months of the season, this is how they have been playing for some time now.

Ant is not an inspiring leader for his team and has wasted too many possessions with hero ball.
Just my 2 cents.

1 blowout win for Minny
1 close game
3 blowout wins for OKC

This series has been lousy. Only 1 good game. For the WCF. Shame.

While Randle was playing well once he came back from injury and in the first 2 rounds I nerve saw it as sustainable, he was always going to regress back to his normal self and the team just isn?t great, they did easily beat the overrated lakers and warriors without Steph, maybe im a tough critic but I?m just not impressed and never saw them as a legit threat to actually make or win the finals and likely lose in the 2nd round if Steph doesn?t get hurt

I really hope Indiana wins the championship. I think they went 2-2 with OKC in the regular season.

They?re in different conferences. OKC won the series 2-0.

OKC 2-0, just like they did most east teams this year, including us.
Been the thunders year all year, thinking the pacers could beat them is as bad/worse then thinking the mavs had a chance against us last season.
