The Lakers are also in a very good position in the open market this year, and the credit goes to their front office team- there are more possibilities for the Lakers. Paul George is one of the top free agents that could end up with the Lakers (-150) to leave Oklahoma with the chance of playing with LeBron (+130).

It was a great season for the Houston Rockets as they proved that they were good enough to go against the Golden State Warriors.  Unfortunately, good enough was not enough to beat them for Game 7 which ended in a 101-92 loss for the Rockets.

For the Golden State Warriors, it was a close call as they found themselves behind by 11 points with only 24 minutes to go.  The Warriors looked dead on the court and it looked like they would miss the NBA Finals this year.  However, during the second half of the game, the Warriors came alive while the Rockets forgot how to shoot.

During the third quarter, Stephen Curry scored 14 points of his 27 points.  This helped turned the game around for the Warriors from an 11 point deficit to a 7 point advantage. In addition, once the Warriors took the lead, they kept it thanks to 11 points from Kevin Durant.

The Wolves told Thibodeau he was out of the job hours after he coached the team to a 22-point blow out over the LA Lakers. While the decision made a lot of sense, players need to adjust to the coaching change.

Coach Thibodeau also have several players he brought to the Wolves from the Bulls, including Derrick Rose. During an interview, Rose had strong words for people who doubt he can continue playing his best with Thibodeau.

The NBA finals are finally here and It comes as no surprise to many sports handicappers that this year’s NBA Finals will have the Cleveland going head to head against the Golden State Warriors.  The Warriors are looking to get back at the Cavaliers for the loss they incurred at last year’s NBA Finals but who can say which team will come out on top.
