The Thunder will beat the Pacers in the NBA finals.  The Thunder will win in six games.  Kevin Durant is having one of if not his best season and I do not see anyone stopping him.  The Thunder have recently signed Caron Butler who is a great bench player.  Also Westbrook is finally healthy and ready to take some of the pressure off of KD.  The Thunder also have a great big man in Ibaka.  Sefoloshia is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league so he should be able to slow down Paul George.  Roy Hibbert is also playing like crap with only 24 rebounds in his past 8 games... Haseem Thabet could do better than that.  I do not see the pacers beating the Thunder in a 7 game series however I can see them beating the heat.  Wade is not healthy enough to play big minutes and be productive throught the entire playoffs and Lebron and Bosh can't do it alone.

Pete Rose Scandal

One of  the biggest scandals in sports was the Pete Rose betting on baseball scandal.  Pete Rose was a phenomenal baseball player and went on to manage the reds after his playing days were over.  Pete Rose placed bets on many teams, including his own while he was a manager.   During the 1987 season Rose was betting between 8,000-16,000 dollars daily.  With all of the evidence against him I think he made himself look worse by denying the fact that he bet on baseball in his press conference. After having such a successful career I doubt he needed to bet on games to make money so the fact that he did doesn't make sense.  Despite the betting issue we should still recognize Pete for what he did on the field.  Pete Rose made a very dumb decision by betting on baseball games and he deserved the life time ban.
