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

[MoneyTalks41890]

I was suddenly reminded of the failed Playoff P experiment in OKC lol

That’s how we got here

[Jordan45822]

Pacers seriously need to consider letting this fool walk or work a S&T with him.

[Mamba Mentality]

Mediocre series from Turner. Hopefully Pacers finally move on from him.

He’s going to be earning under 5% of the cap in 28 and 29 on that absurd contract

His and Joe's contracts are going to be clutch the first few years of Chet's and JDub's max contracts.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Isaiah Joe on another team next year (or Dillon Jones/Ousmane Dieng). Some of these young guys may be on the move for future picks I think, since the Thunder appear to have their top 8-9 with Topic and Mitchell playing next season, plus two picks.

I wouldn't be too surprised but I'm not sure Dieng or Jones have any value. I'm very interested to see how OKC navigates the cap now that JDub has earned himself a 30% max. If Chet makes an all-nba team next year, they're going to be in big trouble.

What exactly can Turner do?

Sent from my SM-S921W using RealGM mobile app

He can't bend his knees but he can stretch the floor.

[guynumber45]

Indy defense can't let Shai catch the ball at the free throw line. They gotta make him work harder to catch the ball and ideally around the 3 point line

[djsunyc]

it's crazy but i think myles turner is the exact same player today that he was in his rookie season.

[SkyHook]

Every time Turner shoots anymore I'm expecting a miss. He's had too many cringeworthy shots the past few games.

[ImmortalD24]

SGA punishing Indiana with the midrange game. Too small.

[scrabbarista]

Seriously, a Naked Gun remake?

Possibly a new low.

You can't remake Leslie Nielsen.

[kwajo]

It annoys the hell out of me all these big men with no low post moves like you just saw with Turner

For real!

They don't even have to be superstars, I'd be thrilled if we just had more above-average big men with post moves. Where are the Al Jeffersons of the world?

JDub needs to make a team next year to qualify.

I’m sick of Mathurin , he doesn’t bring anything to the table

[SA37]

SGA punishing Indiana with the midrange game. Too small.

If he catches at the elbow instead of trying to drive from the 3-point line, he'll get those looks all night and get 50.

Big Al may have been the last one

[EastonEddy]

Not giving Siakam any touches again…

Why is Turner getting so many looks…

Its just malpractice at this point by Rick

If they win tonight (or Sunday), no amount of frustration about managing the cap will matter moving forward. Just win the title and worry about the future down the road.

Personally I think you guys should just trade for Vucevic

[jokeboy86]

Can Carlisle afford to sit TJ at all this game?

[djsunyc]

there are alot of players that can get to the same spots as sga and hit midrange shots (at a good clip) but that shot is discouraged so they never develop it.
