I didn't believe it either. That one stuck out to me and I had to recheck that I was reading it correctly
I guess the Lakers size and Kobe is what gave them the edge. Plus the inexperience in Finals play from the Celtics.
Tell me we were the favorites in 2010 though

There isn't anybody in the past, present, or near future who could answer to prime Shaq.

i know the series went down to the wire in a g7 but i still don't believe the lakers were the better team lol. but i guess that's what happens when you have the best player in a series

I just think it's funny people think a young Kobe would improve this Cavs team.

I think it'd be foolish to think this year Warriors team is unbeatable. I mean they did lose 9 games in the regular season
As I've said before. Nothing is indestructible and everything has a weak point. Also, basketball is a game of match ups. OKC just matched up VERY well against the Warriors. This was even evident in the regular season as well.
Wasn't so surprised with this one. Thunder were the team "Up next" in the NBA. They were slated to eventually win and many people thought getting over the Spurs that year is what got them over the "hump". Ironically, the same narrative was being told this year as well
Tell me we were the favorites in 2010 though
Yes, the Lakers were the faves in 2010
Lakers -180
Celtics +160

This. Prime Shaq was like Gallactus. Like Vigo from Ghostbusters. He was unstoppable physical specimen before bron. And he was decently light on his feet also.

See this is my exact issue. If you win, that player willed them to win. If you lose, it was a team effort.

Lakers had home court advantage and was the best team in the NBA that year. Not to mention, they won the previous year against Orlando. Easy to see how they were favored.

OKC did not piss the series away. They simply lost 3 games to GSW towards the end. I would say KD putting up 40 and Westbrook 30 is chocking. People need to give the Warriors some credit for that series. They played great defense and got their offense clicking. OKC played hard every game. Only reason OKC "resorted" to old ways is because they had no other option.

and then the thunder came out and took GM1 against the HEAT. Bruh the hot takes were scortching. I was talking helllllla ****. And then how OKC almost went up 2 if bron didnt get away with that blatant *** foul at the end of game 2. Smh. Would've changed everything.

I vaguely remember that series, but I do remember that foul in the end of game 2 and I remember Harden pulling a Harry Houdini

The fact that Thunder were at -160 though. Considering how young an inexperienced the Thunder were. Russ/KD/Harden were like 23/24 years old. Throw hindsight out the window and I still would have told you the Heat were inevitably gonna get at least 1 after they choked in 2010. -160 way too high and i'd still argue they should have been dogs.
