Didn't a players' poll call him the most overrated? He's been awesome the entire playoffs. I'd love him on my team.

Dude took that poll personally.

Do you really want to get into debate about successes and failures when it comes to Reinsdorf owned teams? Because based on the angle you're taking, that's an argument you're going to lose. 

Additionally, as owner of a professional sports team (two, actually), everything falls under your watch. He's employing the people in making the draft picks, executing the trades, engaging in player development. If it's not working (which is clearly hasn't with both franchises) then changes are needed until they are consistently competitive with the rest of the league. His teams have failed to do that at an alarmingly high rate. 

And even using your premise, that Jerry isn't "personally responsible" for day to day roster decisions, the people he hired are. Why should we think at 89 years old, his hiring practices and what he looks for in GM's is suddenly going to change? 

The debate's over because I just disproved one of your key points.  But I will add that he had a legit search for a new baseball GM going and called it off because he had the brilliant idea of hiring one of his "boys."  I missed that first time.  We agree on most of what JR is so let's be civil.  But I can't blame him for his hirees' bad decisions.

Oklahoma City clearly is the better team. Small market franchise to win it all. ... Haliburton obviously is hurt; the announcers should lay off. Not every incredibly bad performance can be attributed to choking.

Game Six: All about heart. OKC is clearly the better team; does Indy really want a game seven? That is the question. They should. They should want to win at home and then the inevitable crushing in game seven. Not sure if I'd bet the house on OKC but I'd be tempted. Too good a team compared to Pacers.
