Thunder vs. Pacers NBA Finals Game Thread

[highwhey]

just as expected. OKC showing up, while pacers struggle to not be blown out. i would be very surprised if this series goes beyond 5 games.

Hali has been horrific tonight.

[Hey Yo]

Hali with same amount of pts as turnovers...5

The pacers suck whenever haliburton is awful on offense.

[Hey Yo]

Comes awake at garbage time

The amount of fouls in this game from both team is f'ckin ridiculous. What am I watching.

Is it? Game 1 was a phenomenal basketball game. Just because you care less about the teams doesn’t actually mean the product is lacking

Sounds like a single-game hot take. The Pacers' Game 1 comeback alone makes it more memorable to me than the previous-two Finals.

Maybe just slightly better than the '23 finals in which the nuggets felt a bit boring.

You can tell who the Bronie fluffers are. This series, and OKC's playoffs as a whole, have been phenomenal.

you mean, the late portion of the 4th quarter? because the okc had a bad night offensively and the pacers still struggled to keep up...until late in the 4th.

i am fully invested in the pacers winning, and game 1 - for the most part - was not a "phenomenal" game. the ending was phenomenal, sure, the rest just showed me why OKC will win.

[Meticode]

I think you're right, OKC by 10-15. My prediction was the Pacers would win only one of the first two Thunder home games.

Close, 16 points.
