What other help does OKC need? For a 25yrs old wilt suddenly arriving in a time machine and subbing out Chet so he can play?

We gonna act like Pascal Siakam ain't summoning demons throughout the entire series? How much help from the underlord do the Pacers need?

All we can get! :nod:

It’s way too early in his career to make definitive statements, but Chet sure does look like a shrinker. Which, frankly, really surprises me.

For real, I feel like all the halftime show is some highlights and commercials. Practically no useful commentary (exagerration I know but still)

Damn that's really hard to watch, the Hali injury and reaction. The east is even more up for grabs next season, crazy how many big injuries there are already in the east and next season is still 4+ months away.

Hali would typically be the one that brings it home in tight games... can the Pacers build any sort of lead?

With OKC they have literally two guys shooting.

OKC is all drive and kick. Which is fine if your shooters are hitting their shots but Daigneault needs to mix up their offensive sets in the second half. Calling their offense stale is a compliment rn.

This. And it's really bad offense for a championship level team in this era of the NBA.

First the national anthem, then haliburtons achilles and then Stephen A and Perkins.

That's just too much.

You just know OkC got some of Kyries sage to nullify the Thundertakers powers

I'm not even certain that OKC will go on some crazy run in the 3rd. I get the sense that no matter how many times OKC tries to go on a run, someone from IND is gonna answer with a big shot or two.

Who wins the 2025 NBA Championship?
