2025 NBA Finals Predictions.

Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder:

Thunder are one of the most relentless defensive teams of the past few years.

Pacers can win games if they shoot 3's well and get a lot out of both Turner and Siakim. They also need Nembhard to play well.

The games will probably be interesting, but the series score might not be.

I think Thunder in 5, Pacers win either game 2 or 4. Picking game 4 is boring, so I'll pick game 2.

MVP: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Special Trophy Presenter: Nick Collison

Movie promo: The S in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be made to look like the Superman S.


Also, M3gan 2.0 won't be used as the movie promo, because the Thunder are NOT funny enough to be in a promo for that movie. The Pacers are funnier, especially Haliburton. They have a better chance to be used for that movie promo.

Mission Impossible would be an awkward fit for a movie promo. Unless it's framed as the "Final Reckoning". Or it's framed that the mission only seems impossible, but with great determination, winning the championship can be done.

Both of these teams have built their team by trading away both Domantas Sabonis and Paul George.

A fake stat, but oh well.

109 - 110, 22.5 seconds left.

There's a challenge from Indiana as to whether it's really OKC's ball because Siakam got the rebound but went out of bounds. Indiana thinks there might have been a foul.

Looks like Obi Toppin has been studying from Karate Kid Legend Derrick McKey with his shooting.

Relative for a game 1 (as opposed to a series clincher), Tyrese Haliburton just delivered the Karate Kid advanced move knockout blow!
