2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 1-0)

[Indomitable]

This is where experience can take you further than overall team talent.

What experience?

[garrick]

The scary part is Indy had like 20+ turnovers this game.

They come out in game 2 and cut those down to half they have a real good shot to take another one on the road!

Carlisle is the best coach in the league and has been for a long time. He was the reason why the Pacers went to the Finals in 2000. And he was a huge reason for Dallas turning the corner 10 years later. And now he has the Pacers believing.

The man is great.

I thought Denver would beat OKC, that's how much I don't rate them.

[QPR]

Pacer offense is just so much more balanced

[ImmortalD24]

Wiggins on Haliburton was a big mistake for OKC. Wiggins had no business in the game at that juncture.

That said.. big time clutch shot by Haliburton.

[BigDan245]

OKC is the better team, but just remember how young they are. They could choke in some of these games.

Think OKC will win, but the bright lights effect players differently.

lol

[bbms]

shut up both are phenomenal defensive players

Yes, they are roleplayers, not good enough to be true number 2 players in the league.... if thunder's defense wasnt insane they would have lost to denver. They are good on defense, but not the best on the team.

Jdub is limited because he does not prioritize his offense.

hope uou com eback when they're champions of 2024-25

Hali in paradise...

Snow bunny heaven in okc arena

If it isn't then the OKC coach needs to be fired ASAP. An average coach would wrap this up in 5 at worst

You’re underestimating how good this IND team is

You're underestimating how good OKC is. This is a historically great team, not far off from the 73-9 Warriors. They might even be better considering how injured they were during the regular season.

If IND wins, it would be one of the greatest upsets of all time. They don't have a Prime Lebron to defy destiny. They don't have experience outside of Siakam. They don't have size. They don't have the defensive personnel to shut down elite teams.

It would be shocking if IND even extends this series to 6

They do have a W though

[MoneyTalks41890]

Our Eastern conference friends not realizing this is also very much what OKC does

[ibraheim718]

The Pacers have the firepower to beat OkC. They have enough speed on the perimeter and they have enough 3pt shooting.

[jehosafats]

Pacers 46% 3pt shooting. OKC shot less than 40% from the field.

[MrBigShot]

Giga choke by OKC. The pacers have a really good damn good chance at winning this series

This is nonsense the Pacers have won done this at least 5 times.

The pacers have been absolute incredible down the stretch all playoffs but OKC downright sucked in the last 4-5 mins, they didn't execute/get quality looks

[GameOver25]

The Pacers gotta be in the Thunder's head now.

Yeah man this lost is going to make them miserable.

[durden_tyler]

Kudos to Nembhard for being the primary ballhandler during that run and showing no fear.

Had a key 3 as well to keep them in it
