The Oklahoma City Thunder punched their ticket to the NBA Finals last night after putting an epic beatdown on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. They have been dominating with defense which won’t light up the television ratings, but that won’t make it any less sweet if they end up with championship rings on their fingers.
Dan Patrick: “I know that people aren’t going to tune in to watch great defense, but OKC is just trying to win a title. You don’t get style points; nobody cares about that. If you’re winning a championship, it’s not, kind of, how you did it, it’s just that you did it…and yes, you’re going to have people who probably don’t watch basketball on a regular basis who are going to lament the fact that if it’s Indiana against OKC. That’s fine with me because you probably aren’t watching anyway.”
