No genious thought to "if we are down 0-2 we in trouble". No ****.
Then one is banking on home court advantage and if one plays that card your going 7 games!
NO doubt ones observation will have changed after 6 games. A game 7 for all the marbles is a totally different animal. By then who is is hurt, who is not, and another 100 factores exist.

Damn right we need to take a split cause if not something is not solvable. WE taking out Wemby and dare others to step up? Do we do a rope a dope and wear him out? We going physical and mess with their yoot to get them out of kilter? Castle seems a bit of a hot head but the kid keeps bouncing back.

Both teams have good depth. Both teams play good defense, can shoot, etc. Both teams made the finals!

Im not going to talk myself into confidence feeling to deal with my anxiety. I was on record thinking because of wemby SAS scares me more than did OKC given his ceiling. Found myself rooting for OKC? Not sure why. Perhaps admiration for defending champs and if losing to them has more valor than this new upstart SAS roster.

Wemby? Without him they lose leads. When he tires or fatigues into bad decisions he falters. Reggie miller in our ear was telling us OKC shoiuld keep going at him. Knicks perhsps do this but will look bad a times. We will question the sanity of Brown and lay blame on him. The key to wining is someimtes a strong conviction in a plan and the patience to see it thru. If not working we fans tilt to "our coach did not adjust". If successful we call it "Lucky". We in the fandom space are self righteous at times. Im in here also so im not being too high and mighty. Just a bit. We a funny bunch, we are all for the same team but compete for who is the bigger fan. We love a prediction and if it carries it out we wear the badge of "Told you". NO difference online than being in the pub old school.

MEdia? We cruised making the east look weak whilel the SAS looks valiant having won it. Media has to create content for 4 days to keep nuckle heads like us amused. No hype, predictions, personalities, etc can substitute the eventual truth of the actual game.

Yes we have a very good chance. Im confident of that. Not of the outcome. Not for anything lacking other just excited about the theatre of it all and how it plays out.

I want the Chip. Not just for me, but for all NYC, those across the country and new moments to cherish. And yes, for you knuckle heads!!!!!!
