Pacers will be the Biggest Underdogs to win the NBA Finals if they win over the Thunder

Just want to bump this up to say that any claim that the East is weak can be put to bed. With this Game 6 blowout, even if Indiana loses Game 7, they've been OKC's toughest challenger in these playoffs. Well done Indiana! This thread has not aged well.

Not if you bet on the Pacers as underdogs.

Then again, while the hope that Indiana pull this off, the Thunder are a different animal at home and what we saw in Game 6 could just be a hiccup on their way to the title.

When people say the east is weak this year, they aren't talking about the top 5 teams in the east. they meant the entire conference as a whole. The outcome of the playoffs doesn't have any bearing on that. You'd need to host a playoffs between the mid and bottom seeds in the west vs east to prove it.

They've already defied all expectations regardless of what happens in Game 7. Definitely made me eat crow, too, I expected a relatively easy win for OKC.

Their defense is what has caught me off guard. They've been so good.

For bettors (only), they already won this series if they took the Pacers +2.5 series line. That is, success already(for both the bettors and the Pacers )
