Bill called it (again) !

He didn't call ****. He's been calling OKC to sweep or annihilate Indiana.

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

You were saying?

Definitely shades of the '95 Rockets this whole playoff run, but I'd say this would be even crazier.

I think it's so much like the last Carlisle ring in DAL.

The team had this crazy, improbable run where they were just making all the big shots and whooping everyone they supposedly weren't supposed to.

Overrated my ass.

I mean, he shot 6-13, with 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

If that's your "bad game" man, you're killing the game.

My body is still shaking with excitement and joy with what I just watched. Can only imagine the thrill you are going through as a Pacers fan for life.

You guys and state/city deserve a chip so much.

The series is far from over, but right now just seize the day and enjoy the moment.

That was sensational ! One of the best game 1s of the NBA finals in years

Haliburton is a crazy player.

Had a pretty bad game and just pulls that shot out of nowhere against a great defender.

Guy must have sold his soul for those clutch shots to always hit.

AussieCeltic · Post #1831 » by **AussieCeltic** » Fri Jun 6, 2025 3:24 am

Hali on the ultimate clutch run. Hasn’t he hit like 12/13 in clutch moments?

Hitting a game winner in the nba finals is what you dream of. Get 3 more Indy!!

Respect to Myles Turner with the huge 4th quarter all of a sudden, he made that comeback happen

The legomaker takeover lol

Great comeback by the Pacers. 19 turnovers in the 1st half would be a death sentence to most teams, but the Pacers stayed calm and didn't allow the Thunder to completely pull away and were able to chip away the lead little by little until they the leads with less than a second remaining. I think the Thunder are still clear favorites to win this series, but if the Pacers can clean on some of these turnovers and get better performances from Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, it's not out of the question the Pacers can steal this.

The Thunder got the lead to 15 with 9:42. So their collapse was worse than Portland's versus Chicago; they led by 15 at the very start of the quarter.

Unbelievable.

12 players voted for him as overrated. In a league of 450+, 12 voted for him. It is just a narrative that they have ran with. But apparently that has been in Tyrese head. I guess whatever gives you motivation.

Everybody prematurely crowning this OKC team as an all time team. They are prone to awful non Shai shooting games and their late game offense is Shai iso ball or him kicking it out to a shaky 3 point shooter in Dort, JDub, Chet or Caruso.

Siakam blocks SGA, Siakam Score, Haliburton Game-Winner in the last minute. Just a normal day at the office for the Team of Destiny.

From a team standpoint, it's actually great to have a team that has the players to take your primary ball handler off the ball and you can still be effective...and to have a primary ball handler who is useful off the ball.

Many teams have failed to do as well as they could because if the primary guy is being over pressured they just can't support well enough.

Which team becomes 2025 NBA Champions?
