BAE Index, 5/13/2016: Days of Thunder

Pop Don’t Lie

Gregg Popovich finally gave a real answer during a sideline interview. Although, some members of his team probably wish he didn’t.

The bench may not be thrilled, but I’m here for honest Pop time.

Veteran Presents

They may be old, but they can still make moves.

All you need to know about this play is that Tim Duncan is younger than the man passing him the ball. What a glorious moment of veteran savvy.

Down Under Siege

In the end, though, the athleticism and talent of the Thunder was too much for the Spurs, and Oklahoma City marched onto the Conference Finals. There were so many unguardable plays run by OKC, but the Russell Westbrook-Steven Adams lobfest had to be near the top.

Golden State-OKC is going to be so lit.

One Last Tim?

As amazing as Oklahoma City’s series victory was, the biggest story of Thursday’s game was that it might be Tim Duncan’s last. And if it was, one of the best players in the history of the game will finally see his remarkable career end. For everything you’ve given us over the years, we thank you, Timmy.
