Oklahoma City -700…….Indiana +500
Thunder are heavy favorites; they haven’t won an NBA title since 1979, when the franchise was the Seattle SuperSonics.
Pacers have never won an NBA title; they won three ABA titles back in the day, but are in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.
— There are 27 American TV markets in the NBA; Indiana is the 21st biggest market, Oklahoma City is the 25th biggest market. Should be really good basketball, with two small market teams.
— Oklahoma City/Indianapolis are 688 miles apart, the closest the two NBA Finals cities have been to each other since 1971, when the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Baltimore Bullets- those cities are 642 miles apart.
— Oklahoma City figures to be really good for a long time; over the next seven years, Thunder owns 12 first round draft picks, and 17 more second rounds picks. They can’t package those picks and acquire some big stars.

— Mets drafted Darryl Strawberry with the first pick in the 1980 amateur draft; he was a great player, led the Mets to their last World Series title, in 1986.
Mets had another first round pick in 1980; they drafted OF Billy Beane, who later became famous as GM of the Oakland A’s (Brad Pitt played him in Moneyball).
201st pick that year was Eric Davis, who led Cincinnati to a World Series title in 1990.

— Arizona scored three runs in the first inning Sunday, the fifth time this season Diamondbacks scored 3+ runs in the first inning. Sunday was the first time Arizona won one of those games.
Diamondbacks are 13-10 this season when they score 6+ runs; no other team has lost more than five such games.
— Colorado Rockies have now lost 22 series in a row, dating back to last year; they’re 9-50 this year, on track to becoming the worst team ever.
— Dodgers star Mookie Betts broke the second toe on his foot walking around his house late at night last week; he missed the Dodgers-New York series this weekend.
— Movie of the Day: Begin Again (2013)- A chance encounter in Manhattan between a down-and-out music executive, and a young singer-songwriter turns into a promising collaboration between the two people.
Keira Knightley plays the singer, Mark Ruffalo the executive; James Corden is very good as her old friend from back home in England. Hailee Steinfeld plays Ruffalo’s daughter; in real life, she married Buffalo Bills’ QB Josh Allen this weekend.
This is a very good movie, a nice movie. We need more nice in the world.
— Astros 1, Rays 0
Hunter Brown is the first 8-game winner in the majors.
There were a total of only six hits in this game.

Robert Suarez got his MLB-best 19th save in this game.

Keira Knightley plays the singer, Mark Ruffalo the executive; James Corden is very good as her old friend from back home in England. Hailee Steinfeld plays Ruffalo’s daughter; in real life, she married Buffalo Bills’ QB Josh Allen this weekend.

Udog, I read your stuff every day. And refer back to earlier stuff to see how the trends and Dunkel did. I just noticed your attention to detail by adding the last game from Dunkel that wasn’t in your first post.
I don’t know how long it takes you to do this, and don’t see many thumbs
or thanks. But I don’t think I am alone in saying a big THANK YOU for all you do across all sports.
With some of the petty exchanges and mean words, not to mention the trolls and others trying to market other services in these groups and threads, it’s so refreshing to see how this forum can be used for good content.
So even if few say it, please know your hard work is appreciated.

Quote of the Day
“Is that a real question right now? You just asked me if I believe he’s (Tom Thibodeau) the right guy? Yes. Come on.”
Knicks’ star Jalen Brunson, after last week’s Game 6 loss to Indiana
Wednesday’s quiz
Who managed the Pittsburgh Pirates, last time they made the playoffs?
Tuesday’s quiz
QB Alex Smith is the only player in the College Football Hall of Fame who played college football at Utah.
Monday’s quiz
Hall of Fame baseball player Dave Winfield was drafted by four teams in three different sports; NBA’s Atlanta Hawks drafted him in the 5th round in 1973.
**************************************************
Too bad; everyone seems to like the ball-strike challenge system, but the union/owners can’t agree on what day it is, so this is likely to be delayed.
— New York Knicks made the NBA’s Final Four this year for the first time since 2000, losing in six games to Indiana, so of course they fired their coach Tuesday. Oy.
You have your best season in 25 years, then fire the coach. Why????
Tom Thibodeau was 250-197 in five years with the Knicks, 24-23 in playoff games. He signed a three-year extension with the Knicks last summer, so he’s still going to get paid. Who exactly will the Knicks hire who is a better coach than Thibodeau?

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….
— Disappointed to hear this week that the ball-strike challenge system probably won’t happen in the major leagues until 2027; sounds like the players’ union is going to use the challenge system as a negotiating chip in the labor negotiations that will happen after the 2026 season.Too bad; everyone seems to like the ball-strike challenge system, but the union/owners can’t agree on what day it is, so this is likely to be delayed.
— New York Knicks made the NBA’s Final Four this year for the first time since 2000, losing in six games to Indiana, so of course they fired their coach Tuesday. Oy.
You have your best season in 25 years, then fire the coach. Why????
Tom Thibodeau was 250-197 in five years with the Knicks, 24-23 in playoff games. He signed a three-year extension with the Knicks last summer, so he’s still going to get paid. Who exactly will the Knicks hire who is a better coach than Thibodeau?
