Yeah, looks like Thunder in 7.I don't see Indy losing 3 games in a row.

Not a fan of either team, just enjoying the Finals. I thought the 2Q favored OKC for the calls, but it was evened out in the 2nd half

all correct calls. Pacers play physical on Shai all game , won a lot of possessions fouling him and getting away with it. Win some you lose some , they are bear hugging , pulling him , pushing him off the ball

You would think shai and okc had a crazy ft lead

In reality shai had like 6-7 fts but got 3-4 fts from pacers intentional fouling or technical fts

Okc shot 5 fts more than indiana, but 4 of those 5 came with pacers intentionally fouling, and indiana took more jumpers than okc all game (like 37 to 17 3's or around that)

Jesus make up your damn minds

Not to mention complain every year that there’s no parity and there’s always a big market team in the finals. Then when two small market teams make it, “it just doesn’t feel right this year somethings missing”

Casuals on social media already naming this finals “worst ever” before it even started just because the big market teams and big names aren’t there and they won’t be able to post a lot of their clout-chasing content.

**** em. This finals has been great.

Turning out to be a lame 2025 finals.

Pacers better come up with some Sixth Sense-level plot twist at the end of all of this..

You’d lose your mind if you watched Dort on Hali off ball.

It's a shame this once great sport is now just barely more legit than the WWE. I'm happy to see others see this as well and the numbers of people realizing this is growing with each instance. This is why nobody should get too worked up over their teams or players. It's all theater like everything else.

Lol. The Pacers missed shots. A lot of them at the end. Thats it.

I’ve hated the NBA for a long time now, but my love for the Pacers kept me interested.

Tonight made it clear, it’s not a sport. The Thunder were gifted a free win in a Championship series. They didn’t earn this.

But ultimately, if I don’t feel like this is a sport, there is no point in watching.

Blessings to all.

Take care man. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Why the fk are you showing the last one? He literally slaps his wrist you dense potato. Also if you have your hand out you can expect it to be taken advantage of, thats been done since Jordan, Wade also used to shoot into the hand, its a smart and valid play honestly.

The travel was a weird play where they need to either call a defensive or offensive foul. Hard to see without replays, still not enough to cry about refs for.

Personal attacks are now allowed. Please refrain from calling people potatoes. -b

Shai was supposed to be Shaun Livingston and became the best player in the NBA , I get why everyone else is salty

OKC arent supposed to be this good this early. They can be the youngest team to win in 55 years or so. I get why everyones salty about em

Me i'll just choose to enjoy it. Because this is the future of the league. Why be mad over the next 3 years when I can just enjoy watching Shai

this is everyones favourite comeback

"but dort does this" you're just a parrot now. You don't have a mind of your own

Gordon · Post #2095 » by **Gordon** » Sat Jun 14, 2025 6:17 am

Refs were pushing hard OKC in this game, because NBA wants a long series, i guess they will favor Pacers in Game 6 if they lose in OKC as expected. Its the business model, the money is most important and not the integrity of the competition.

Yeah I am not sure what the complaining is. Like the first video is clearly a foul.

People lose their mind when OKC win lol . They get furious and cant take it. Shai had 4 FTs until the game was decided tonight and they started intentionally fouling. They will not speak with reason when it comes to him due to pure envy

A NBA player got away with a travel and a push off? The next thing you’re going to tell me is that people drive over the speed limit.

Or check this **** out.

Maybe people who don't get to see him all year because he plays in bum **** no where are disgusted by the culmination of what this league has evolved in.

No one respects anyone who plays for the whistle on every play.

It's also pretty hard to see how this dude is MVP when he's getting abused defensively like that.

Yeah sure. SGA is just about the whistle. Cause Wade, Lebron, and Kobe never get calls. Just stop man.

Also, I am guessing you don't think Jokic is MVP then right? Definitely not Luka. So Giannis is your MVP this year?

Why are you comparing sga to some of the best players of all time?

Who wins Game 4 of the NBA Finals?
