Title: 2025 NBA Finals thread - Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Post by: HighEyeCue on June 01, 2025, 03:32:44 AM
I can't see OKC losing but Indiana has showed me something during this run

whoever wins would be a first time champ as well

my prediction the Pacers playoff run runs out

OKC in 5

I agree okc in 5 sounds about right. Also wouldn’t be surprised if it was in 6. Pacers are a really gritty team that might have the best d in the league. They had Brunson frustrated

I still think OKC is taking this but after that comeback now it might go 6 or 7

and I love how the media keeps saying Haliburton is not as superstar...he may not be but he's a good solid player

he's a superstar lol

yeah I think I'm starting to agree

I don't know what the media elsewhere is saying but the talk shows in NY are pushing the "he's not a superstar" narrative

that's hilarious and likely because he's not a flashy player or a score first point guard

he's a pass first 1, which is rare in this day and age .. but so was magic johnson, john stockton, jason kidd etc and no one was saying they weren't superstars

it's actually refreshing to see a pg leading his team the traditional way..


that said, SGA is the closest thing i've seen to kobe since he retired.

you're right plus Haliburton can score when he has to

yeah SGA is on another level...his 3 year run has been crazy

Well...I have to say I'm surprised so far, but not shocked

this is a very good Indiana team...they might be the ones to end it in 6

if OKC loses the series its more proof that the regular season in not only the NBA but in all sports has very little meaning

it's a new age in the nba because mid-tier teams like indiana have rarely won it all since i can remember

nobody has won it as a 50 or less win team since houston in 95 .. we talkin 30 years

that's true...l think Cleveland made it one year with Lebron when they had around 50 wins but lost to Golden State

maybe this year is just the anomaly

OKC got this...even if they lose Game 6 which I don't see them doing no way the Pacers are gonna win a game 7 in OKC

Indiana should be proud of their team whatever the outcome tomorrow night...to take OKC to a 7th game is a pretty big deal 8)
