GAME 6 Playoffs 2024: Oklahoma City Thunder (2-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-2)

[Chicagojk]

So who are we rooting for tonight, guys? Pick your poison! 

I‘m going with Denver, at least as long as Murray still plays hobbled today. Reason is it wouldn’t be a shame losing against them - but it would be a great chance for Luka to establish himself as being on par with Jokic. And most importantly I think the teams are more different, with clear advantages like speed and rim presence and athleticism on our side. I fear that Minnesota has similar strengths than we do, but could be even more physical and tough nosed and win a streetfight against us which the Clippers and Thunder couldn’t.

Not sure.  Both are really good and provide different strengths.   As you said, Murry is a little hobbled and at times there is a little too much Holiday for my liking.   At the same time, at the end of games you really have no answer.   You just have to hope they miss really good shots.    Minnesota may be more talented, but you may have a better chance down the stretch against them.   They are more likely to beat you by 15 though, I think.

Not sure.  I would think either are favored against the Mavs but it should be fun.
