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

[GSP]

11 teams have had 30 or more turnovers in a playoff game for anyone wondering. Most turnovers ever in a playoff game was 36 by the 77 Bulls against the 77 Blazers whod win the title that season

Yeah I mentioned that before, she's been excellent tonight.

Stands out really well.

Isn't she being let go next year?!

Well Breen's been extended, the powers that be somehow want RJ (or was it Miller?) back, but Doris's contract is in the air.

She's raised her considerable game, and is **** SLAYING laying down the basketball insights.

They better come to their senses and not let Doris slip away. She's a floor and ceiling raiser.

All in all, this trio has been far more professional as opposed to the college couch bros mode which is refreshing.

I'm just glad someone taught Breen how to pronounce OVR.

They do let Caruso and Dort hack guys lol.

Havent been impressed w/ Daigneaults coaching all playoffs. Okc offense is meh. Defensively theyre obviously insane but that isnt coaching this is the deepest most loaded defense weve seen in a long time honestly i cant remember the last one w/ great defenders at every position in the starting lineup and bench

Biggest credit should go to Presti if this team wins it all and it's looking like that anyway. Excellent job building this team.

SGA wants the limelight and credit so badly he's forcing shots. Pretty cringe to watch.

He took 18 shots to get 20. Not even remotely efficient.

Kobe would be proud.

SGA now officially the best player in the league and you will never convince me otherwise, as great as Joker is, the torch has been passed.

What convinced you?

Been amazing these playoffs and just regular season, he is so consistent and resilient.

He very rarely plays a bad game. Can't remember the last time he laid an egg.

He is almost impossible to defend. He is going to get his bag no matter who you put on him.

I think he is a better defender than many give him credit for too.

Hmm... I obv love SGA as the hometown boy BUT can you imagine Joker had the relentless supporting cast Shai does?!?

This.

It’s like people don’t even take in account supporting casts lol.

Time to continue my Cheers series re watch marathon instead of watching ESPN's crap half tiem show (RIP George Wendt)

Indy still very much alive in this game, they have been very sloppy on offense and turned the ball over way too much. The fact they are not down by 20 plus is encouraging for them

I binge watched Homeland. It was phenomenal and gripping and satisfying.

If you were to tell me that McConnell would be the Pacers leading scorer in the 1st half, I'd call you a liar and have you committed to the nut house.

My god the Thunder are making it ugly with the Pacers turning it over 18 times with 18 more shot attempts. Somehow it's only a 12pt game. Thunder should be running them off the floor.

[scrabbarista]

Dort’s 3 three-pointers is big in the first half for the Thunder— basically the difference between this double digit lead and a close game.

i know Thunder has those big 3rd quarters so it’s adamant for the Pacers to stay within range before the final canto.

He's an excellent shooter.

Perk has added screaming to his mumbles

[RB34]

Perk and SAS for an NBA finals halftime? Yuck

[Ben-N1ce]

OKC let them off the hook when that putrid offense. Should have been up 20+

[GrandTheftRondo]

Wouldn’t even know it’s the finals.

No lettering or logos on the court. Broadcast hardly has much

Wtf happened to the finals?

Adam Silver happened.

Some of you will complain about anything.

There are no more super teams and there IS parity.

Two small market teams in the finals.

Just a few things posters have cried about since my Warriors ran roughshod over the association.

Not sure why you’re bringing up small market teams when my post was talking about the finals logo, lettering etc.

For the last 4-5 years watching the finals broadcast has been like watching a regular season game

[JustBuzzin]

Perkins tried to eat Bob on Nat'l tv smh

This man always hungry

[durden_tyler]

Pacers turning it over 18 times is insane

They are lucky about half of them were not live ball turnovers because we know OKC would have converted those to points too if otherwise.

Not a great half for the Pacers but Thunder within range, let’s see if they have can make this a close game in the third— there is no way they steal this game if they are staring at a 12-15 pt lead entering the fourth, the Thunder are too good for that.

Cut it down to 5-8 pts Indiana and let’s have a classic ending to this Game 1.

Poor former GSW GM arms all crossed lol he's like help get me TF out of here hahaha

[GrandTheftRondo]

Give me a break. More like OKC may be the best.

You’re joking right? They’ve almost forced 20 turnovers and they’re only up 10. They’ve taken like 15 more shots and only up 10

So maybe prior chip teams would kill them. They can’t score

Could've stopped there and just let me say no.

So they’re very good defensively no ****.

But their offence is nowhere near some other great finals teams.

ESPN halftime makes me want to turn off my stream and just listen to an audiobook while I work. jfc what an awful product. I actually prefer the commercials.

Lol at SGA > Joker. Go back to TV Land, Doogie Hauser!
