2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

If the Thunder can overcome two game 7's, or the Pacers prevail, knocking off higher seeds, it will be a Championship truly deserved either way. A game 7 for all the marbles, is a hell of a way to cap off a wild season. I look forward to more fireworks immediately after the Championship game.

 

Personally, I think we should have done better, this year anyone could have won this thing. I am totally unimpressed with the Thunder after game 6. I don't think they could beat 90% of the winning teams in the last 40 years.

 

We got Game 7 yall.!!!!!

 

I think it’s interesting. The Pacers basically have a new series.

the interesting thing is it’s game 7 you empty out the tank. And you can use everybody. And literally anything can happen.

Basketball is the biggest home fields of them all. Baseball doesn’t matter. Football it doesn’t matter. But NBA with that crowd is a difference.

The Pacers have no pressure. Tali Hali hurt they aren’t supposed to be there. This series is supposed to be over. OKC played with their food.

and in that Mario Elie voice. They seemed a little tight. Every OKC miss will be an awe!!!! And you just think Choke.

me the key is Jaylin. Don’t let him get off. Shai gonna get his. I would still blitz Shai. Make Jaylin a catch and shooter as opposed to the point guard and you got it.

if the Pacers are in it they’re taking it. Road team role players don’t play well on the road.

I think if Matthurian and Nembard can get it going that’s the key. Making Jaylin Williams and OKC play defense getting tired on the other end.


It will be tough but with Indianas adrenaline it will carry them over. Holmgren will be an X factor. Pascal must stay aggressive. But I think Haliburton must set a tone early with being aggressive. He has to keep going at them.

Lose and your the Utah Jazz Seattle SuperSonics Win and your one of the most legendary teams of all time.


But hey ladies and Gentleman in here doesn’t this series just feel like a real life version of the movie Hosiers???????

if there’s a coach who can do it. It’s Carlisle.

 

Hoping for a last Hali gamewinner

 

sadly I don't care about either team or the results

it feels only as if I'm not tuning in for a worthless all star game, but i've heard it's a good series

I'm wondering if it's just me and where I'm at in life, or if this is the reality the NBA is facing after years of their approach to marketing the game.

 

Sounds like it’s more you? It’s been good basketball ebb and flow between 2 good teams who play good defense. Especially the Pacers move the ball style on offense. Just not markee teams.

 

yeah, maybe I'm just like a lot of NBA fans that pay attention to marquee teams more. I do find more and more I don't even know the players on other teams, so I'm clearly watching less games than ever before.

 

Indiana doing some history again.They just can't lose to most overrated team in a history of NBA, especially that Indiana has most overrated player in the league lol.

Indiana has now become the first team in NBA postseason history to have eight players with at least 200 points in a single playoffs: Pascal Siakam (456), Tyrese Haliburton (390), Myles Turner (311), Aaron Nesmith (288), Andrew Nembhard (272), Bennedict Mathurin (219), Obi Toppin (216) and T.J. McConnell (202).

Now we get to see who truly has the better bench. I truly believe we are watching the two best teams in the league play in the NBA finals.

 

^^^^ …. which team’s bench has the Bigger Balls? Of course odds go to home team in that regard.

 

I started out wanting OKC to win, but after closely watching just how much SGA uses the Harden Arm Bar, I switched over to rooting for Indy by game 3. The guy really is a free throw merchant and most definitely is only the MVP because the League has allowed all of his baiting to prosper- just like they did with BeerdoMcFloppington.
I love how Indy never gives up and has so many good mentally tough defenders. I still would like to see them adjust sooner when the threes aren’t falling, but I guess that’s just today’s NBA.
Jim Carrey used to be my favorite comedian so it would be cool to see him win another Chip as H.C.

 

Yeah once I became aware of the ridiculously allowed SGA arm bar and in game 2 saw how really entertaining and good basketball the Pacers were playing in contrast on offense while being in the same ballpark on D I 100% am behind Indiana now too. Go Pacers!!

 

These kids have been going at it, it's been a good, competitive series IMO. Whoever wins deserves it, gotta leave it all out on the floor. You can't take anything for granted in this League. It's extremely unlikely that either team makes it back to the Finals anytime soon.

 

I actually think I’ve become pretty on board with Collins if you can get Kessler with him. He just shot 40% from 3 this past year. I wonder how he compares to Rui as a defender? Anybody watched any tape haven’t watched him any since ATL? Rui+DK+1st?

 

These NBA finals are wayyyyyy better than last years NBA finals.

 

That line tells me everybody will bet on OKC and bet the blowout.

makes me nervous that OKC might win by 5 thinking OKC gets up by 10 Indiana makes a push and gets the game to 5.

Concerning. Indiana is going to have to have a flawless night shooting the 3.
