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

[Son of Skeletor]

Weird take. OKC are +9pp 100 possessions better when he's on the floor compared to when he's off during the playoffs.

+1

Holmgren and Cason Wallace were the worries from Game 1 for them, not Caruso.

I'd also be highly surprised if they make any major trades at all in the next 12 months, unless something special comes up. They are the opposite of teams like Phoenix and New Orleans.

Can't get over the odds. I hope Indiana win to see Reggie Millers face

At least make it hard. Bulls opponents with w/L for each game.

Off the top of my head...

Lakers LWWWW (100% certain on this)
Blazers WWLLWW (75%)
Suns WWLLWW (95%) -100% on first 3 and Game 6. Can't remember the 50/50 on Game 4 & 5

Sonics WWWLLW (100%)
Utah WLWLWW (50%)
Utah LWWLWW (50%)

100% on the number of games in each series.

That Blazers team was a monster, should have won at least one championship.

Suns won G5, which spoiled the party in Chicago.

It never ceases to bug me that the Sonics made the Finals the year that they changed from their iconic jersey to that cartoonish mess.

Yeah, I remember that after I walked away from the computer. Everyone thought it was over with the suns only winning the triple overtime game up to Game 5.

Checking the results. Didn't do too bad considering I got every one of the 50/50 ones I didn't remember wrong.

Lakers
Blazers I remembered the Bulls won game 1 (6 threes!), and the series was 2-2 with the Bulls winning the last two.
Suns I remembered the away team won most of the games that series. Remembered after the post that the Bulls lost the home game at the end.

Sonics
Utah Got Game 2 and 3 around the wrong way. I remembered that the Bulls won Game 1 and the series was 2-2 with the Bulls winning the last two. 50/50 shot on the other games and I guessed wrong.
Utah I remembered that the Bulls lost Game 1 and won Game 2 & 3. Couldn't remember the next two before the clincher in Game 6.
