The 2025 NBA Finals thread - OKC vs Indy - louder, deeper, faster

[X_box_X]

Looking like 4 or 5 games at most and that seems generous

hahahahaha

 

[Memphis]

what a game this has been.

 

[Satan]

Will they run off the court ?

 

[NSWCROW]

OVERRATED

 

[Gak Attack]

**** yeah. This team is mad, don't quit a bit. We have a series.

 

[Nicho50]

Wow haven’t bothered watching the last quater and check the scores WTF

I take everything back I said about the Pacers

 

[Satan]

Never in doubt

 

[Scythe]

Unreal.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Maybe Giannis is pretty good and just needed a tiny bit more help against the Pacers.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Great for the series.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

One aspect of this is can Dortz play that well again ?

We definetly have a series now

 

[Chadwiko]

[Steel Toe Joe]

It was actually a shocking bit of play. OKC would have been thrilled with how that play went…. Just went in is all

 

[magpiemaniac44]

That is ridiculous

 

[Richard Cranium]

hahahahaha

His multis gonna be strugglin now.

 

[RCAB]

50/50 now

Its crazy how much things can change so quickly... if OKC won that game easily they probably win 4-1 or 4-2.... with Pacers stealing that one late, now they got doubt in their minds late in every game better for the fans imo

I didn’t see the full game but whenever I tuned in OKC looked like they were playing without much energy but were in cruise control. Perhaps they rolled up expecting they’d just cakewalk it.

OKCs mistake in the end was not protecting the glass. Captain Hindsight says Hartenstein should have been in the game to pull down some boards

For OKC the change im making is to give Hartenstein 25+ mins and leave Chet off the floor for a bit more. Chet provided nothing. For 2026 regardless of what OKC do from here they need to work a way of getting a upgrade on Chet. Cameron Johnson being the obvious target

My 3yo selected "the yellow team" as her team of choice a few weeks ago. I am now a long time Pacers fan of 3 weeks

 

[X_box_X]

I kept hearing OKC in 4 or 5.

What kept me thinking it may not be a rout like most people are expecting are the following three things:

1. These Playoffs have been incredible where you have to expect the unexpected.
2. OKC are serial second best offenders, whether that being losing the NBA Finals or Western Conference finals.
3. Pascal Siakim. He did it with the Raptors as a Dog, why can't he do it again with the Pacers as a bigger Dog?

Haliburton is a gun and you cannot keep him down all game.

I dont know if anyone collects NBA cards still but keep going Hali and increasing the value!

 

[Toffee Lion]

For all the talk of OKC's depth/roster spread, it quite literally came down to SGA or bust.

On the flipside, no one on the Pacers had more than 20 points.

 

[Scythe]

Winning a Finals game on the road with a -18 turnover differential is absolutely insane
