Sports and randomness

OKC just beat the Spurs in game 6, in one of the best basketball series we've seen in some years.  2 very very good teams playing very close basketball.  In 4/6 games (all but game 2+3) the Spurs and the Thunder were roughly one 50% shot away from a win.  Game 5, which I saw, had Harden shoot a 3 with 15 seconds left.  It was about a 50% shot.  If Harden makes it...OKC wins.  If he misses...probably San Antonio.  He made it.  Same on 4/6 games in the series.  I call the series as 1 solid win for each team, and 4 coin tosses that OKC won 3 of.  Great basketball.  Excellent play from OKC.  I didn't think anyone could stay within striking distance of the spurs for 4 games....and they did it for 4, and won 1.  Amazing play by the kids.  But it's always useful to remember that sports is a game that involves a substantial quantity of luck...and this time, luck was on the side of OKC.  If SA had won 3/4...I might not have had the perspicacity to remember that, because I was (and am) so enamored of how good of a BB team they have been.   I highly doubt that the finals will be so close.
