The first 7 quarters and overtime of this series have been highly entertaining.

As a fan, I want 7 games of this.

Pacers didn't make a basket for 4 minutes in the second and are still rocking a 120+ offensive rating.

Pacers are the modern 2004 Pistons. Just the opposite, factor in parity and it being a weird era they really might win it all this year
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Indy just has so many dudes capable of hurting you on both ends.

At this point I feel like the Pacers could play Kuzma and Prince 30 minutes and they'd still win the east.

Don't underestimate the damage a low IQ player can have. Pacers players all play smart.

Haliburton's blow by ability is underrated. And Nesmith is just a stud.

The Pacers are plugging in guys who have barely played in the playoffs and as a team they're not missing a beat.

But yeah, the Pacers are incredibly well coached and have a bunch of high IQ players.

Like I said the other day, I have watched every Pacers playoff game and it feels like they have taken a total of 5 shots in their run so far lol.

Your 2025 nba champions Indiana pacers. They’re going to smother SGA and shoot 50/38/82 as a team against that great thunder defense. This is a really good team I can’t lie anymore.

OKC's defensive intensity is far greater than any team that Indy has played thus far. It's going to be a battle, but OKC's offense is, in my opinion, also great than any team Indy has played this far. Even Cleveland's.

Clutch shooting by the Pacers down the stretch.

OKC hasn’t played anyone imo. Grizz fired their coach before the playoffs, Nugs are Bucks West and also fired their coach, Wolves played fossils until now

Pacers are taking smart shots, regardless of whether they are twos or threes. The Knicks are just taking turns taking threes most possessions.

The Bucks were a blown 7 point lead in the final 39 seconds from doing the impossible.

Making the Pacers play a game 6.

Lol

OKC won't get run off the floor by Pacers, and Chet being rail thin doesn't matter as much as it does against teams with more traditional bigs than Turner. Feels like a 4-1 gentleman's sweep, assuming both series hold.

Pacers up 3 with a minute left: Game over.

Pacers down 15 with 2 minutes to go: Game far from over.

Lol
