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

[Marrs-Law]

In some ways this comeback is the hardest to believe. In the other ones' it felt like the momentum shifted at least. Here? They did make a run, kind-of, but it always felt like OKC was in control or had the answer. And then all of the sudden the Pacers won the game. It's like the losing team won. It's crazy

[Iwasawitness]

100% fraud gimmick player. People paint him as sort of all timer lol.

38 points on 57% TS with 3 assists, 5 boards, 2 TOs, 3 steals in the finals as the player getting keyed on you all are actually brain dead.

And lost. He’s a fraud as is the okc “all time “ squad. Cutting edge defense with Alex caruso lol.

Carlisle is revealing yall

He's a fraud because his team lost?

The Pacers led for 0.3 seconds and its 1 game out of 7.

The Thunder are still very much the favorite, one game doesn't change that. Now the pressure is on the Pacers to do better in game 2, because they played awful today.

Thunder are favorites to nerds who can’t understand basketball gameplay. There is nothing special about OKC.

The Thunder are every bit as good as advertised. You don't luck your way into the best record in the NBA. You don't luck your way past a tough Denver team and Jokic. They are legit.

Again, this is one game. They lost game 1 to Denver as well. Its big for the Pacers, but they've got to win 3 more, and it won't be easy.

More embarrassing than Knicks game 1 IMO. “Historically great” team. “Best defense of all time”. “Most lopsided finals ever”. Force 20 turnovers in one half. Up 15 in the fourth. MVP on your team, 2 all defense on your team. Choke at home.

Very embarrassing

Sorry, nothing was as embarrassing as the Knicks game 1 loss.

[SkyHook]

Last second dagger in front of a hostile crowd. Couldn't script a better ending.

Can't wait for game two!

Funniest thing about this thread was people talking crap about the Pacers while glazing OKC the whole game.

lol seriously. People love hyping up this fraud team. Been watching basketball for 40 years and this is one of the most overrated teams I’ve seen.

[Memories]

I keep telling people this is gonna be a MUCH CLOSER series than most people thought. Saying the Thunder would win this in 4-5 games was a joke.

I still think the Thunder win this series overall, but this will go to 7. Pacers are a VERY TOUGH MATCHUP for the Thunder, and are also unpredictable with a championship level coach to boot. They will not get demolished at all this series.

He’s a fraud cause he allowed his team to blow a big lead late in the fourth. So yes

Hali only leaving .3 on the clock sealed it. OKC would have probably scored if they had 5+ seconds to run something decent.

[ArksNetsSince99]

If the Pacers sweep this series.

The Knicks will re-hire Thibs with a raise.

If they quick enough , OKC might sign Thibs right after the finals

No they’re not. Beating up on a depleted western conference isn’t impressive. Regular season team with bums like “j dub” as the second best player.

He is jealous and angry. Let him have it.

With 20 first half turnovers the game should have been over, the most we've had in a half in over 25 years in ANY game.

Our defense wasn't bad, held OKC to 39.8%, we sucked at rebounding the misses in the first half. Out rebounded them 56 - 39 overall, impressive for us, we don't rebound well.

They may have played themselves with starting Carson Wallace, he was a team high -13? I was worried about the two big guys at once.

SGA had 38pts, but took 30 shots, we can live with that.

We can play a ton better, but so can OKC, ugly game.

[thelead]

what the hell does JDub have in his mouth? dude seriously wearing grills to the press conference after that loss?

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

Think of all the people who didn't watch this game solely because a big market team wasn't in it. Feels bad man.
