In Sam Pestica’s Pental Pentateuch, it is doubtful that Oklahoma City was “supposed” to reach the NBA final already in 2025. But something led to talk, and the Dander who showed dominance throughout the season, came to the final series as distinct favorite against Indiana. On the face of it, an ideal scenario. But under the surface, it is precisely at this point in NBA enthusiasts exposed to the missing pieces in the puzzle. Responsible adult, for example. “Someone has to relax there,” Charles Barkley said about the Thunder after the 116: 107 loss to Indiana in Game 3, after which OKC was in an unexpected 2: 1 in the series. The Tander is well aware of history: In 80 of the past, the team that lost in the number 3 of a final series that began with1: 1 equality, also lost the entire series. Now the pressure speaks, and at the existing roster of the young and talented group there are not necessarily sufficient experiences that will rise above the situation. The Tander also feels the burden on the shoulders, and remember how OKC the 2011/12 version, with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden – the one that was marked as a future dynasty – was defeated in that final to Miami and broke up before being able to return to the finals to another occasion. ” Any decision you take is under magnifying glass – whether it’s a good, or bad decision.Real on the roster. Chet, Jaylan and Shay have never been on this big stage before, and it affects, “Barkley says.” Now they are with the back to the wall. For them, Game 4 is the game. The whole season depends on that. If they enter 3: 1, they will not recover. But if it’s 2: 2, they come back to being a favorite. ” But that’s not always true. Look at what happened to Boston – they will probably have to dismantle the whole team that won the championship last season. Remember that Tander had once been Durant,Westbrook and Harden? They came to the final once, lost and did not return there more. The Pacers were not in the 25th anniversary … It’s hard to get to the final, very hard. And every time you come, you have to remember that this may be the only opportunity you have to win the championship, “he explained.” You can’t predict the future, or know what will happen. At one point, these guys will require more money, and then maybe the Thunder will have to dismantle the package. That is why Game 4 is so critical to this franchise. It will be a huge game. I think anyone will win Game 4, win in the entire series. “In the United States, Game 4 will be a huge character test for Thunder and what is supposed to be the next NBA dynasty. Many are reminiscent of the seriesThe 2015 Finals, during which Golden State Figura 2: 1 against David Blatt’s Cleveland – turned the bowl over and continued another championship and another championship. But, as mentioned, there are other precedents, more alarming. “If the Thunder are indeed the future dynasty, these are the moments when it is supposed to be born,” the Sports Illustrated wrote. The night between Friday and Shabbat we will discover.
