Maybe, hope I get to find out. No one player brings even a single title though.

Don’t play dumb. Never implied that. Although Olajuwon kind of did one year.

No he didn’t.

Lots of good support players in Houston in an era when the superstars were more spread out than any other.

Vernon Maxwell and Mario Elie. Meh.

Rutgers has 2 freshmen who are projected top 10 draft picks. That's really weird. They've had the same coach for 8 years and the rest of their current team sucks apparently.

Thunder mean business

Going to be a long night if they miss every open shot. Getting great looks.

Gonna be a long night if a 20% shooter is making 3’s

Time to tank

It’s all about the defense with the Thunder. Hard to beat if they can sustain it.

One reason I think they can win a title even this young

Jerome going to make his ex team pay every time he plays them. Respect.

You gotta live with Dort making those. Just tip your cap

Lot of respect for that guy, you don’t see many guys turn what was such a weakness into a strength.

Vernon Maxwell and Mario Elie. Meh.

Robert Horry, Kenny Smith, Cassell, Otis Thorpe

They had good players

Don't forget Mitch Wiggins, Andrew's dad

Those are all role players. Most titles have 2+ big stars, but yeah I did say "kind of"

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yikes. That was a bad shooting and sloppy half but defensively if a team is going to shoot almost 70%, it’s not your night.

The small ball lineup actually benefitted OKC. No shot blockers there for some time but I don’t think it would have mattered much when you make contested 3’s it opens up everything. Mitchell is still not playing his game too, not sure what is up with him

There were 2 teams that had 2 big stars in the 90s.

Bulls and Jazz.

That was it.

Only reason that remains true for the 90s was because Jordan and Pippen won 60% of the titles.

not looking good tonight--- honestly- not sure but might be the first true stinker of the season.

OK? And the Bulls won all the titles except when Jordan was out. Then the 1 star team did twice. But it was that guy not Ewing or whatever.

Heck the 2004 winner had no superstars
