On Tuesday, NBA TV will air a season preview version of their popular Open Court show. On it, the six expert panelists – former players Reggie Miller, Dennis Scott, Grant Hill, Brent Barry, Steve Smith and Isiah Thomas – are asked to make their Finals picks.
Miller, Scott, Barry and Thomas pick the Thunder to make the Finals. Scott, Barry and Thomas pick the Thunder to win it all. The two others picked the Spurs to come out of the West. None of the six had Golden State in the Finals.
Earlier in the show, Isiah Thomas – a former executive and head coach of the Knicks – was asked about new Thunder coach Billy Donovan.
