2025 NBA Finals: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

[eaglesnut]

I think a lot of people fell into the trap of just looking at the Pacers 50-32 record and assuming they weren't a really good team

But they were like 40-16 their last 56 and were probaby the second best team in the league after the first week of December

It shouldn't surprise anyone this is a series of you've been paying attention

Say it after me. November doesn't matter.

It shouldn't even be apart of the way too stupidly long regular season.

Might be time to go back to the old lineup.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I get it that it's a matchup issue with Hartenstein, but use the lineup that got you there in the first place. If things don't work out, then you make the needed adjustments.

Yep making an unnecessary adjustment before seeing how it looks after going 80-18 was odd

i just looked it up- and maybe I am wrong- but it looked like to me the Pacers were what? 80-1 to win the finals when the playoffs started?

no matter what happens this is an absolutely historic run for them. so impressive.

I know this isnt ground breaking- but Game 4 I think will tell us who wins the series

if OKc ties it up 2-2 with home court- or Indiana goes up 3-1.....will be interesting.

Just never know, Thunder got punched in the mouth tonight. Let’s see how they respond.

don't even sweat it. OKC has it in the bag. Just making things interesting.

That’s a bit optimistic at this point. You can still get 2 to 1 on the Pacers though. .

You got this. I made a bet with God and took OKC. No way you lose.

I personally don't see Pacers losing 2 straight home games

They don't need to. All the thunder have to do is take one away game and they have the home court again.


Edit. Just read your post about it being 7 games. Mb.

I think that was regarding a previous comment about OKC winning in 6

Either statement negates the validity of my post so eh. I still like the thunder to win it all.

This is NBA heresy!
I'm sure the Lakers and Busks fly those in-season banners with great pride!
