Thunder vs. Pacers NBA Finals Game Thread

I certainly have a sense of humor.

I don't hate you at all but you're often like that kid in middle school who isn't cool but is loud and tries too hard to be funny. It's not actually upsetting but just cringey and annoying. We all had that kid in our school. He was always nice enough but just like...ugh shut the fvck up.

Anyway...back to the series.

Tonight's the last big test for the Thunder.

Will the young, relatively inexperienced title favorite be complacent? They have plenty of cause to be at this point, yet the Pacers—who've overachieved time and time again—might very well capitalize if so.

I expect the Thunder to close it out tonight, but—like the entire series—it'll be more competitive than people expected despite Haliburton's injury.

Haliburton is going to play despite his injury.

Hard to predict tonight's game. Pacers can get extremely hot from 3 which can nullify anything OKC does. What they did to the Cavs in game 4 in the 1st half was absurd and they're capable of that type of shooting.

I expect OKC to have some killer instinct tonight and the Pacers to fight like hell. Either Pacers win comfortably or OKC wins another slugfest. We shall see.

[Full Court]

Imagine the bitch fit Axe is going to be throwing tonight if OKC wins and SGA takes FMVP.



He might set a record for stink.

Mathurin needs to go off. TJ bring it home baby.

Whatever happens I consider the Pacers one of the most dangerous teams of all time.

They murdered a 64 win team and were close to going up 3-1 against an all-time great 68 win team with a plethora of insane clutch performances the likes we've never seen.

2025 Pacers will probably go down as the most underrated team in history if they lose, due to their seeding created by a weird start and the optics of not having an "alpha" number 1. Real ones know the real truth though.

Its gonna be closer to okc blowout.

Haliburton actually moving well so far, shots just not falling.

[GOBB]

I expected Chet Holgrem to be better at this point than he has. He's a bit underwhelming given the hype.

Its gonna be closer to okc blowout.

Maybe. Would be unlike them to go out that way though.

[Mask the Embiid]

Free money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks about right. Pacers are ****ing insane.

I don't think I have ever seen a coach not want to call a timeout more than Daignult in that last 3 minutes of play.

Talk about in denial.

22-5 run was crazy
