Thunder vs. Pacers NBA Finals Game Thread

[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.

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

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.

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.

Pacers definitely win without Haliburton getting injured.

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

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 ?

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.

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.

By bumping threads with bad takes? Seems like I struck a nerve.
