Thunder vs. Pacers NBA Finals Game Thread

Fat lady is warming up

[Meticode]

its not even worth it rn tbh. straight up unhinged people posting 24/7

Those are easy to ignore because you can pick out the competent posters you know. When it's dead it's just the usual LeBron stand or haters making threads in endless meaningless discussions.

[ShawkFactory]

OKC kind of playing a prevent defense here. The lead is probably insurmountable but still not great from them.

[BarberSchool]

Let’s go Shai make em cry! Better hedge those bets sissies hahahaa
Get your head right Gobb.
I know you want to enjoy trolling who you imagine are racists here, but…

Son is as Batty Bwoy a FMVP as the NBA will ever see.
And the least ethical superstar since Harden.
You can’t actually be a big fan of dude, can you ?

Pacers in 7. They will go into OKC and get one of the first two games at least.

I'll see you guys next season. I might be around for draft night discussion, but other than that I'll see you in 2026 April. Props to OKC. Sucks Haliburton got injured. It was sad to see him so upset because he knew right away he was done.

Good luck with whatever you're dealing with in your lives. Don't waste too much time on here.

Epic finals series. The best one in over a decade. Congrats to the Thunder for going up 4-2.

[bluechox2]

Tyrese forgot to offer the demon sacrifice before the game

[sdot_thadon]

Congrats Thunder, now the long offseason begins. This will unfortunately always be one of those what ifs becuase kf Hali's injury, hopefully he can recover and still be a good player going forward. Hate to see young guys going down with major injuries.

Cruel stuff.Word.

It’s like the sith lords running/owning the NBA currently, have circumvented the basketball Gods temporarily, and we are all suffering an Era where unethical hoops is rewarded sinisterly, and sports betting keeps encroaching further and further, to a point, where it risks permanently damaging the product.

And just like that, the NBAstore.com & Fanatics.com , both set all-time low records for post-championship merchandise sales.

8/27 shooting, what the **** lmao, kobe would be proud

[Keno]

SGA clean sweep of awards, securing MVP, WCMVP, and FMVP. legit already surpassing Kobe and Curry on the all-time greats list, dude is young AF too.

His shooting was bad, but I liked how he was getting his teammates involved. Kobe went full chuck mode in his game 7 Finals.

Btw, why isn't anyone giving Holmgren his props? He struggled offensively this series, but his defense was special, especially tonight.

Lol those two guys took more than five trips to the finals just to get their very first finals mvp. :oldlol:

thanks for letting me know, I'll be honest I didn't watch majority of the game, just seen the last few minutes and box score.

[L.Kizzle]

Pacers definitely win without Haliburton getting injured.

sadly, injuries are apart of the game. otherwise, lebron would have 8 finals mvp right now too.

No he’s a known racist. There literally no argument showing otherwise. He’s all but admitted as such. So don’t confuse me saying he’s triggered by SGA looks with how you/others view SGA. He’s an isolated d*ckhead.

As far as Shai making em cry. I’ve always been a fan. His game is refreshing to see someone use the middy. A shot I hope kids shift too vs jacking ill advised 3pters because it’s allowed. A free for all. There’s no balance. No moderation. People complain about how Shai goes about drawing fouls. I ask were you crying this loud last season or the season before? Or because Shai popularity is at its peak we as fans decide to find something we dislike and overdo it with the complaints? Are we selective about the ethics? The nba literally implemented fines for flopping. Why? Wasn’t because of Shai, harden or one individual. I know you’re not saying he’s flopping per say. But my point is if we play by ethics there’s damn need everyone in the lg who does crap. The only difference is the rate. Play ball. You can’t deny Shai talent.

Such a, albeit predictable, shame that yet another NBA playoffs becomes a war of attrition. I dont think the Pacers would have won regardless but who knows?

This must suck for Pacers fans as they'll never get this close to a championship again. It was now or never.

I know we've said this the last like 3 years but OKC are going back to back if they stay healthy.

Seems like every Playoffs has ended this way for the past 10 years. '17 was like the only one where both Finals teams were healthy, and even then Kawhi got injured start of the WCF when Spurs looked to go up 1 - 0 and make it interesting.

That wasn't the first time Indy was in the finals

No shit, thanks for that. They were leading at HT last night in a game 7. They won't get closer, ever. It took a miracle run to get to this point. They could at least have had a fair fight.

[tpols]

Pacers definitely win without Haliburton getting injured.

I wouldn't say definitely but they would've had a good shot. They came out guns blazing no fear at all. Whole thing was ruined though after the injury. We've got a lot of vultures on this morning celebrating it like 1987_Lakersfan.

You shouldn't be celebrating halis injury and what happened after bro. Its a bad look. Ruined the game for all of us... except you. :oldlol:

You must have missed my post last night in this thread.


Wow. What an anti climatic way to end these Finals :facepalm

You are just butthurt because I bumped that "Siakam>Giannis" thread.

[tpols]

Well yea... youre a vulture. You kicked him when he was down and his homie got whacked. Perfect time to swoop down.

[1987_Lakers]

It was the perfect time for Siakam to show the world why he is better than Giannis, but failed big time.

You pretty much asked for this, you kept bumping that thread the entire postseason, can't play victim when it eventually backfires.

Hold this L.

[tpols]

I wouldn't call what the Pacers and Siakam and Hali and everybody else did a backfire.

They massively overachieved and wrecked shop in the playoffs and then lost to a huge favorite from a freak injury at the worst time.

You look soft trying to kick them when theyre down, little fella. Its a cowardly move.

You seem flustered. :oldlol:

I mean, when you go around saying Siakam > Giannis, you can't get mad when Siakam eventually shits the bed in the biggest game of his life and not expect to be called out for it.

Hold this L.

[tpols]

That would be like hating on Jokic for what happened in his Game 7. But its worse here because of what happened to Hali. Its extra cowardly and weasel like.

[1987_Lakers]

Nikola at least cracked 20 points on nice efficiency with 9 boards & 7 assists in his game 7

Siakam? 16/4/2 on under 40% shooting.

This is the guy who is supposed to be better than Giannis according to tpols?

We done with Siakam! Hold this L.

[SouBeachTalents]

I thought tpols was going along with the Siakam > Giannis thing as tongue in cheek. Does he genuinely believe that :lol

[1987_Lakers]

Most likely not, and I could care less about Siakam performing good or bad. But watching him have this mini meltdown is funny to me.

[tpols]

Jokic got smoked even worse in his Game 7. But it wasn't his fault because he was swarmed. Now imagine if Jamal Murray snapped his leg in half how much worse it would be?

Thats tough. There were plenty of vultures out on Yolk though after he lost. If they were hating with that type of context though...?

Thats super weak and dishonorable. You do you though.

[1987_Lakers]

I'm being held responsible for a bad take and I don't like it
