    If what they’ve shown Indy is called respect, then I wouldn’t want none of their respect at all.

    I predicted OKC would win in 4 games and maybe 5 if Indiana got really hot at home for one game kind of like Minnesota did. That game one loss was as big of a fluke as I have ever seen in basketball. It was just like game one against Denver…almost identical. That being said it’s clear that OKC is a superior team and ultimately talent is going to win at this point in the season. I think OKC wins the next 3 games and starts a dynasty.

    Stephen A has done nothing but disrespect the Indiana Pacers every chance he gets. He is a horrible source for basketball information just because of his tendency to be biased. And I’m not just talking about with the Indiana Pacers the man has a long history of doing it to every team he doesn’t like period.

    Monty Williams should coach the Knicks great coach and he get best out the roster and he had bridges he make him great player again
