Seeing Kate Martin's WNBA debut was more wild then seeing Caitlin Clarks.

Just casually shutting down the six foot seven Li Yueru so hard it could cause another Taiwan Straight Crisis.



Kelsey Plum seemed to agree.

Something tells me the Aces could potentially three-peat as WNBA Champions.

Denver Nuggets had a twenty point lead in the first half. They were up by double digits at the half. Wolves broke a Game Seven record with their comeback!



This was such an exciting game to watch. Just great basketball that kept getting more and more exciting towards the end.



Twenty years since the Timberwolves made the Conference Finals and they put down the defending champions this series!

Yet the Mavericks went on to punking the Timberwolves in 5 games in the WCF Finals and advancing to the 2024 NBA Finals for the third time in franchise history.

Celtics swept the Pacers (4-0) in the ECF Finals advancing to the NBA Finals for the 26th time in franchise history.

 

[Sergeant Foley]

The 2024 NBA Finals has officially set between #5 Dallas Mavericks vs #1 Boston Celtics beginning next Thursday on 6 June 2024 on ABC 24 KVUE-TV Austin.

I'm going with Boston Celtics in 6 winning their 18th NBA Championship in franchise history.
