I think Indy is in trouble. KAT and Brunson haven't gone off either. Once they do, it's good night. They ain't winning game 7 in NY.

Pacers haven't lost two straight since March 10th?

That's really good.

Congratulations Oklahoma City Thunder 2025 NBA CHAMPIONS

People have been saying this about the EC team nearly every year since forever, and yet the east still wins about half the time and usually the series is competitive. I'm not ruling either of these teams out til I see the matchup. I will say for as good as OKC looked vs Minnesota, they struggled at times against a Denver team that was severely outmanned.


OKC are just a measure above every other team in the league this season, just like the Celtics was last season.

Really hope I am wrong and we have a finals that goes to at least 6 games

But OKC's record especially at home has been too impressive to ignore.

They have too much size and depth and talent.

Siakam on the leak out is deadly. No one on the Knicks are even trying to slow that duded down.

Sloppy, physical, frustrating, low-scoring, lots of fouls, ugly. I love it. I hope it can stay close all the way through.

Such a subpar half by the Knicks and they are still in it. Focus, stop turning the ball over, get back on defense. It's now or never.

OG definitely showcasing some interesting ways to get open offensively. Knee in the nuts, slap in the face. Whatever works, I guess :wink:

This was a fun first half and the second half is gonna be even more fun. The game is about to become hella chippy.

OG vs Spicy P

The former Raptor that plays better this game will be the winner

Brunson just playing like a crackhead. He's so addicted to chucking and being the center of attention

Even with that ending Knicks have to feel great at halftime with how the game is going.

Indiana has to either figure out a way to go faster, or fix their halfcourt offense. But I don't like their chances if the game stays stuck in the mud.

Crazy that the Knicks are still trailing despite being carried by the refs.

They will be roadkill versus OKC, but whatever gets the ratings up I guess :lol:
