NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

[GermanFan120]

They haven't been taking care of the ball. One quarter to go. If they have another comeback in them, now's the time.

The game ended as soon as when Hali went out.

Might I recommend you give up the “reverse jinx” forever? Not a thing. Just Speak how you feel, and stand for what you speak.

It worked in 2011 like a charm. So no.

If Scott Foster didn't rig game four, Pacers would have won in 6, and Hali wouldn't go out like this.

And definitely didn’t work at all this year.

Sorry for the way it went down for you guys, you were legitimately the toughest test that could've come out of the east. I hope hali comes back even better and you guys get the respect you deserve

Gotta say, it hurts the most because seeing the way the rest of the game went down, we had you. For sure. Congrats on y’all’s 2nd.

Congrats on a great season. You were so close to your first title. It sucks about Hali and hope it isn't too serious. I miss TJ as a Sixers fan. That guy brings it when it matters most.

Thank you. You just convinced me to try harder when Pacers are in the final next time.

Through early season injuries and a tough early schedule due to the trip over seas playing the Spurs an early season struggle turned into a great playoff run by season’s end. A very competitive and challenging run and a rewarding season. The Pacers as a team gave it their best shot all season long to get here tonight. A lot of magical moments and good performances to cheer about and be thankful for. One of the most exciting Pacers teams I remember even though less talented due to their age. Many years left for most of these players to grow into better NBA talent.

I’m really torn on what players should be back next season due to the disappointing result of this game and the losses in this series. Yes the Thunder were the better team but the Pacers played hard to make the series competitive. Much better effort than the 0-4 Celtics series sweep in last years playoffs.

Since the celebration of our playoff season is now over it’s time to hope that the front office can make great decisions for the future of this franchise. I’m yearly a speculating fan with hopes for new players to get for team improvement and moving on from those that can find their fit elsewhere. I once again have very mixed feelings about what personnel changes need addressed. We must put a team on the court that rebounds better and continues to improve defensively as that is needed to continue to play the style of fast paced game we’ve been playing. At times this season depending upon the players on the court the team struggled to score and that is a problem.

Unfortunately tonight was not a good night for contributions from Turner, Nesmith, or Toppin. Conversely Haliburton, Mathurin, Siakam, and McConnell left it all out there. It just wasn’t enough tonight.

Besides the obvious of losing Tyrese our turnovers played a huge role in losing this game 21-7 in favor of the Thunder. McConnell with 7, Mathurin with 3, and Toppin with 3 hurt a lot. The Thunder probably turned them into a lot of points besides momentum and crowd noise. I’m not going to argue that the referees were bad because I thought most of the series was tough sledding for the Pacers and maybe if the Pacers someday are the league’s best record they will get the same bias against whomever is our challenger. The Thunder have done a great job in building their team no doubt and props to them. I of course like SGA(except for his fore arm push off to create shots, and Chet’s abilities as a young big man. I will most likely never like Lou Dort or Alex Caruso because of their rough play that for some reason the referees league wide ignore. They’ve got some bench depth but also it appears that there’s a good team vibe of togetherness like the Pacers built this season. Congrats OKC.

This die hard Pacer fan is taking this loss hard right now.

No words,... for all that has happened to and for the Pacers in the last 24 hours,... Praying that we have another chance & that Mr. Simon is able to see it.

But a HUGE thank you and high-five to all the posters on this forum. Chatting with each of you has made this season both lows & highs so much more fun than it would have been. Appreciate all of you. Pray all of you the best, and a great off-season & new season for the Pacers.

Likewise to you. It does sound funny to hear you say have a great off season. To me it’s more like a fragmented off season with the upcoming draft, off season free agency speculation, summer league, and then training camp.

The pacers had no one
Stop it
Had Hali not been injured jdub and sga still would have poetically waxed Indiana

Just think now there’s FINALLY no Tyrese and the Pacers to end your season next year. Maybe your ownership can acquire even more talent and pay the most tax in the league to FINALLY win another championship. Oh except for those same 2 guys you mentioned who’ll be waxing poetically any team coming out of the East next season

Btw, we aren’t in the second apron, that’s what happens when your star player takes a hometown discount
If you want to keep turner, you surely will be. Do your research next time buddy.
So say bye bye to some combination of Mathurin Naismith or nembhard

Same way they just ended your chance at a title and your star player’s career? Because you and I both know he won’t be the same after an Achilles
Hey maybe halibum gets humbled after this , or he can show another choke sign on the garden floor or pop another ball juggle against the Cavs, maybe karma will jettison the acl or other Achilles
Either way, the kid and his father need to be more humble because there’s nothing that separates the Knicks and pacers at the end of this playoff run. They’re both eliminated and losers, only difference is the Knicks didn’t lose their star player to a career altering injury.

Hope you’re enjoying Cancun.

Bummer you missed the playoffs. They were pretty cool. You should watch them next time.

[Dirk]

Congrats on the great playoffs.

Historical run and big shame about that blown chance to go 3-1 up. SGA with some refs help prevented that hole for them.

Very fun team to watch, almost the opposite of the other team in the finals. Just too much to overcome in the end.

Hope Haliburton can come back to his best when he is back on the floor.
