2025 NBA Finals: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

[dtgold88]

Has Holmgren scored any second-half points??

As someopne who only needed 15 from him to win a parlay can tell you he scored very few in 2nd half.

nah.....SportsHoopla coaches know more and have a better handle on the guys than the guy who is a really good coach and around those guys with his coaches every day.

Well of course. Who has better knowledge and insight on players, game situations, and overall know how than we do...?

I'm actually surprised that you would even question this...

Pacers won all these games

Why those saying we need to break up our team because of them (never mind Indiana fully healthy and our injuries) are bananas.

 

[dtgold88]

Lineup change ended up backfiring. No way they lose the rebounding battle by 17 if they used the 2 bigs lineup

Yeah that was odd.....Our team dominated Indiana on boards and assuming OKC would do the same. Our issue was ignored the dominating bigs on O. Doubt OKC would have pivoted if it was working.

 

[dtgold88]

Didn’t watch but Indy did it again. 24 TO’s in a win is crazy

our series still sucked, but guess this makes it understandable

May just be their year......but still gotta win 3 more.

I am fine with not using 2 bigs against Indiana.

I am not fine with 0 bigs and Alex Caruso as your inside rebounder on FTs.

You say this like I'm surprised. He is the same shitstain who thought posting a Cottonfield on a Juneteenth thread in the PF was somehow funny...

But racists gonna racist...

I should have practiced better restraint. I’m trying to earn my way back to having posting privileges on the PF. I just had to laugh at how triggered he is. Does he even post anything about sports on this board?

 

[tlance]

That was the crazy part. Indy was practically trying to give the game away...

In the first half.

Second half they played very well.

@thunderc you alright this AM?

I’m great, headed to a poker tourney. Last night just like game 1 against Denver. Shai didn’t make a shot and Jdub and Chet really didn’t show up. Encouraged that the Thunder got 18 more fg attempts, losing with that happening should be an anomaly for a normally good shooting team. Credit to the Pacers it’s on now.

It really is.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Haha! @PIBuckeye is traumatized by a gif of the black president.

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The big advantage Pacers have in this series is head coach.

That part.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I’m sure you desire to have a million posts one day… Others dream differently.

it really is incredible actually....

no judgement- but @DJ Fieri has been here about 11 years--- that goes out to be about 4000 days

with about 179,000 posts- he would have had to post 45 times a day, EVERY DAY, for the last 11 years to reach that number. That is doing some WORK.

Imagine a world where he was doing sit-ups instead- hed be shredded! lol

Pacers snuck one in there and Haliburton makes marguee shot. This reminds me a little of the Lakers-Houston WCF back in the early 80's.

For Pacer sake not the LA-Pacer Finals....where Indiana won game 1 then lost the next 4.

I don't think I've ever seen that clown posts that is even slightly sports related...

I'm guessing he's one of the "picked last" kids when he was coming up...

 

[Black Adam]

In the first half.

True. The bulk of them came in the first half...

 

[Wamu]

Is that silly cane fella still trying to say people are rooting against the Pacers because of him?

When I saw his comment yesterday gotta great laugh out of it.
