OKC by double digits

Indy fans collectively praying The Extender doesn't ref game 7

Easy dub for the Pacers.

OKC is simply a different team at home. That's why Pacers blowing Game 4 was essentially the series imo. Don't see any way the Thunder don't win this one comfortably.

If Scott Foster officiates Game 7, OKC will win by 25+.

Read on Twitter

The pressure will be on though. We'll see how they handle it.

It’s sad that many of us are thinking the same things… had the same thought before last night’s game even ended.

Yes there are a lot of conspiracy theorists with similar views. Or have an identifiable grudge.

That’s what happens when teams get passed by so quickly.

Games are just called wildly different from game to game. That’s the biggest issue the NBA has with officiating. It’s not a OKC thing, it’s a league wide thing. It does not inspire confidence in the product.

This is pretty wild

You doubted them against the Cavs. You doubted them against the Knicks. Now you doubt them against the Thunder...?

These Pacers have pulled off repeated miracles. They are a team of destiny. On Sunday night, before the whole world, the Indiana Pacers will win the 2025 NBA Championship and complete the greatest Cinderella run in NBA history. You will all witness this.

Even if he refers, it is game 7, no agenda from him

Maybe Foster’s programming breaks and we get multiple OTs

If any team can go into OKC and win game 7, we can do it! We've been defying the odds for awhile.

I know OKC is not a injured NY, but this same team went into Madison Square Garden (The Most Famous Arena in the World) game 7 last season. Shot almost 70% to beat the Knicks in EC semi's.

It could happen, really.

Predictable OKC win incoming. When is the last time the overwhelming favorite lost game 7 at home other than 2016? That team had a transcendent GOAT-tier player on the opposite team though, Indy doesn’t have that.

No Surprise OKC is running away with this poll. I feel like a 'who do you WANT to win' poll should be added. Think Indy would dominate that one.

Game 7 vs Denver, OKC came out extremely tense with the offense out of flow.

I'm just not wholly confident that OKC's role guys won't be tight/pressing on Sunday night. I think they need to win in a blowout. This is the most pressure packed game of their careers and if some guys come out flat or making mistakes, it may force Daigneault to play a six man rotation to try and will his team over the finish line. We know Pacers are playing 9 guys real minutes no matter what barring injury.

Putting out an APB on Dort, Wallace, Chet, Wiggins.

I expect Caruso to bounce back from that abominable showing in Game 6. Hartenstein's minutes continue to be a headscratcher to me.

I'm hoping, then not be able to recover.

Make it happen basketball Gods.
