Now down to the Final 4, we have the Minnesota Lynx locking horns with the revitalized Phoenix Mercury. And in the other match-up, it’s the retooled former champs, Las Vegas Aces, going against the undermanned, but Feverishly-hot Indiana.
Eight teams clash for the right to move to the next playoff round. My bets? It will be the Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces breezing through, while the New York Liberty and the Indiana Fever will upset the odds to complete the round of four. Gentlemen, place your bets!!!
Team Collier has more experience and more maturity among its players; while Team Clark appears younger and more into innovation and creative moves. Overall, Team Collier has a total of 54 All-Star appearances among themselves, compared to only 26 appearances for the much younger Team Clark.
This year, it is OKC’s turn. They deserve it, after years of toiling in the fringes. After being dismantled, dismissed, disrespected for years. After decades of agony in defeat. This year, the Pacers are left with the agony, as the OKC Thunder finally taste the ecstacy of getting its first-ever NBA title. Long live the Oklahoma City Thunder! All hail the new kings of the NBA!
The Pacers were a long-shot to reach Game 7; with Tyrese hobbling off the court in Game 6, and the momentum clearly in favor of the Thunder juggernaut. But the Pacers dug deep, ‘circled their wagons’ to score a big win in their backs-against-the-wall duel in Game 6. Which turned out to be a big rout, a total beatdown. With the score now tied at 3-all, we are down to the last game of the season for the NBA.
Haliburton’s injury will significantly impact the Pacers’ chances in Game 6, even if they hold the homecourt advantage. Their chances of winning will hinge on his health and performance, or should he not be able to answer the bell for Game 6, the team’s ability to adapt and perform even better collectively.
