Guys win lose or draw we made it to a game 7.

Sunday is going to be for it all. This is what we want as fans. 2 small markets represented the NBA well during this Finals matchup.

May the best team win!

OldSchoolNoBull wrote:Just another thing riding on Game 7:

If the Pacers pull it off, Rick Carlisle would become only the fourth coach in NBA history to win championships with two different franchises.

Alex Hannum accomplished it when when he led the 67 Sixers to victory(after having won it with the 58 Hawks).

Phil Jackson accomplished it when he led the 00 Lakers to victory(after having won six with the Bulls in the 90s).

Pat Riley accomplished it when he led the 06 Heat to victory(after having won four with the Lakers in the 80s).

That's it. That's the list.

And the NBA has Doc f#%king Rivers in their "Greatest 15 Coaches Of All Time" list over him.

Even with 1 ring Carlisle is over him.

The Nuggets had nothing left entering game 7 against the Thunder. The injuries and the heavy minutes finally caught up with them.

Pacers are in a much better position. Outside of Haliburton, who looked good despite a calf strain, everyone else is healthy and relatively fresh. There's going to be a lot more pressure on the Thunder as well. They're the no.1 seed at home and it's winner take all.

The Pacers better hope that Scott Foster isn't reffing Game 7.

James Johnson looks like a recovering drug addict no disrespect.

Praying to the basketball gods we get a legendary game 7. Don’t do us dirty with another OKC blowout.

As soon as Mathurin got it there, I knew Furphy had no chance. RIP

this is why I don't trust AI for work

Depends on which one you use. If you used one that is able to search online then you would get it right. Was probably the earliest data it was given when trained.

I just used google's built in AI for that search but I use a few different AI engines and they all still hallucinate or just plain lie :lol:

Me: cite where you got that
AI: Here is the link
Me: Where in that article do you see that info
AI: You're right, it is not in that article and I can't find a credible source for the data I provided

2005 came down to the wire. Like literally every game 7 has been great for 30 years.

Game 7 NBA Finals you mean, generally (all playoffs) Game 7s is what was disappointing. But yes, we hope that's not true for the OKC-IND game and we also have a close game

Last 3 NBA Finals G7s:

2016 - Cavs beat Warriors, 93-89
2013 - Heat beat Spurs, 95-88
2010 - Lakers beat Celtics, 83-79

How were these not decent games?

Big game 7 for Siakam. He wins, he's Finals MVP and probably ends up in the HoF.

GreenBloodedC · Post #1297 » by **GreenBloodedC** » Fri Jun 20, 2025 3:06 am

This is actually the best case scenario for Indy.

Blow OKC out so Hali can rest early in preparation for game 7.
