With Cleveland’s 125-94 beat-down of Detroit Sunday night, the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Finals are set, and three of the four teams are represented by Duke’s Brotherhood: Cleveland has Tyrese Proctor, San Antonio has Mason Plumlee, and Oklahoma City has Jared McCain.
In other words, if New York falls to Cleveland, a Duke guy gets a ring. OKC is a heavy favorite currently, followed by San Antonio. New York is a somewhat distant third, and Cleveland is the long shot.
So if the odds hold up, Jared McCain may get a ring to show off on Tik Tok.
Given the size of Cleveland’s victory, we were a bit surprised that Proctor didn’t get in, but unfortunately, he got another DNP.
