2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (Series tied 3-3!)

Obi with 8 points in 2 minutes??

[SA37]

100% not a charge. He was in the air clearly before he stopped moving

1 leg was moving, the other was established and Williams barrels straight into the middle of his chest. Seen those calls go in favor of the defender tons of times.

That's simply because block/charge is one of the hardest calls to make in real time, and even sometimes in replay it's like "ahh, maybe, kinda close".

100%. That's why I said it was a 50/50 call.

SGA continues to press. What are you doing?

TJ McDonald is a DAWG!

The way he plays he could've easily played in the 90s. I got to go find clips of him in college because he's seems like he was the ultimate college pg.

[Mk0]

Toppin needed to pump fake that corner 3. He would have had a wide open shot.

Foster gearing up for G7

Wiggins has earned his keep this finals

[durden_tyler]

Good start Indiana but let's get that double digit lead at halftime as obviously no lead is too big for the Thunder squad.

[kwajo]

Pascal in transition always works out, even when he doesn't get to the basket it feels like it's at least FTs every time.

[Chuck Everett]

Best news for the Pacers aside from the start from Siakam and Toppin, Nembhard is scoring, but has zero fouls.

[Mamba Mentality]

SGA needs to settle down. He's pressing way too much wonder if he’s feeling the Finals MVP pressure from J Dub.

Is there an invisible force that repels Haliburton from getting to the basket?

It's a visible force. OKC has the best perimeter defense of all time.

Also, Haliburton has an unexceptional first step. He relies almost entirely on getting his defender off balance, and having good size for his position.

Wiggins has earned his keep this finals

I am still shocked he hasn't had a monster game where he blew up for like 28. I thought it would have happened earlier in the playoffs. Dude is a bucket.

All hustle and energy. Love those kind of players. You can't take plays off with TJ on the court.

[Mk0]

SGA just elbowed Nembhard in the neck. obv miss by the refs on that one

EDIT: nvm not the neck. collarbone.

[jokeboy86]

Shai should just be feeding Jalen right now.

[2weekswithpay]

SGA is forcing things. 3 players on him, and Chet is open. Just pass the ball.

It hasn't happened often, but on the play I am talking about, he literally got past his defender and then skated back to the 3-point line.

[Mamba Mentality]

Had SGA trapped but poor discipline from Siakam on the reach.

[jehosafats]

Carlisle is making the adjustments. He took Nembhard out right after he got hot, before he got sloppy. Took Hali out right after he hit that 3. Came back with Obi, Peterson, and McConnell. Giving OKC different looks. This is how you do it.
