I’m actually looking forward to this finals. It might go quick but it will be exciting basketball

I think 3 point shooting introduces a ton of randomness, so I think Pacers have a chance to surprise here. Live by the 3 and die by the 3 is imo as true as it gets with sports terms.

OKC in 6 is what I would guess though

Heart says Pacers in 7

Head says OKC in 5

OKC is probably the best team equipped to shut down Haliburton and if you’re able to do that, I don’t think the Pacers have a chance of winning in a 7 game series.

OKC in 6, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s in 5.

OKC should win in 4 or 5 but Pacers have been playing spoiler all season. No matter the outcome what a fun and successful season for Indiana.

Want OKC to win because of SGA and Dort, but brain says Pacers are too good, Indy in 4.

pacers went up against hurt lillard, then mitchell then brunson. it's like a video game where they are working up to the final boss in sga.

If this goes past 5 games, I'll be shocked. I expect complete domination from OKC where they take it easy for Game 3 but turn it back on to close it out afterwards.

Would really like for Pacers to stun tonight and grab game 1. It would really make for an entertaining rest of series.

Siakam might be the most important Pacer this series. Turner should bring out Hartenstein a bit, and Siakam against Holmgren isn’t a horrible matchup for Pascal.

I feel like he struggles more with guys stronger than him. So he really needs to own that matchup.

The last 2 finals were bad so we're due for a good one. I hope the Pacers keep up with OKC and make it a 6, 7 game series. I know they definitely can. 2 young energetic fast pace teams. Historic offense vs historic defense. And the Pacers defense was one of the best in the league over the past 4 months too. They're legit

Pacers in 7
Siakam finals MVP

OKC's talent is overwhelming and I think Chet is due to go off. But I'm curious how the pacers fare defending sga. He's a master at drawing fouls on out of position defenders, while nembhard and Nesmith are among the best at defending in position. They're physical with their chest but back off at just the right time to avoid fouls.

Best case scenario in my eyes.

Love all the Canadians in this series. Between Mathurin, Nembhard, Dort, and Shai, I feel like I have a lot of heros to root for.

This is why I'm going 6 instead of 5. Very few teams are as well built for a variance 3 win as the Pacers. It remains the ultimate equalizer.

Thunder in 6. Just too good defensively. No mismatches for the Pacers to exploit.

Wallace and the Dorture Chamber on Hali is going to be brutal

Nembhard and Siakam will have to be huge this series.
