2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (Series tied 1-1)

[CelticSooner]

Here’s the game right here. Indiana bench gotta show up.

I'd argue Shai is way more dangerous. Harden was just 3/2 or 4/1 high pnr, Shai is an all time finisher and hits the middy time and time again huge difference.

Not even close. Prime harden wipes the floor with Alexander offensively.

No he doesn't. His biggest downfall was having no in between game which physically he was more than capable of dominating that facet. Harden is very overrated offensively.

And Shai doesn’t have Hardens first step, step back 3 and massive playmaking advantage.

SGA falls downs gets the call and still complains.

He did not need an in between game. He was an elite 3 pt shooter and elite driver/finisher.

Harden is a far better playmaker than SGA and was a much greater threat on offense. How many times is SGA getting doubled these playoffs? Harden was getting tripled with guys standing behind him to stop a step back

Maybe it's just me... I really can't stand OKC. Why are they able to play physical but act like a bunch of babies on offense? Got Dort falling on screens, Shai falling on screens. It doesn't make sense.

I love it, old school physical bully ball...plus they've let both teams play

I would love it as well if both teams were allowed to play bully ball.

Shai with the great strip and Obi with about three fouls

[LAvision]

Too many ads on the court, NBA.

All these ads and you dont even have the world finals on the court.

[VINO 24]

Is SGA saying if I get hurt it’s over to the ref

Naw, if OKC has a melt down mentally Indy will capitalize.

It's up to OKC to be locked in all 4 quarters

Well before the shot and Shai got continuation, don't complain

Got fouled all the way to the rim and gets called at the end maybe that was his complaint.

Halliburton needs to get that butt hurt look off his face and play ball. These are the Finals, stop crying.

[fanofthegreats]

God sga is such a clown

[Chuck Everett]

Chet been on the bench for a long-ass time. Does he have conditioning issues that no one is talking about?

Yet we can have Shai crying for 48 minutes...

And all of that doesn't eventuate as well in games that matter

We've all watched both enough to know who is more effective. Hardens had absolutely putrid performances and a alot if to do with what I just said

He could have been automatic in the middle but alas is what it is. Overrated as a passer too.

They are. It's just one team has more physical players.
Knicks and Detroit was a beautiful series too, bc they are physical teams.
I'm sure if Indy matched the intensity they could. They only have 2 guys who are really physical.

Dudes are getting fouled all the time but he’s the only one getting the call every time.

Turner is such a bumbly moving individual lol. Gotta be tough to be that big everyday

I had a coworker who is 6'7" and I never realized how nothing in the world is built for someone that tall. The guy was wiping his hands on his pants after washing them in the kitchen because he couldn't see the paper towel roll hanging under the cabinet.

You should see one of those dudes in a Toyota Corolla, it's comical. Most cars don't have the leg space to be comfortable in being that tall. Probably not even safe for them.

He had a small sedan. I think it was a Civic.

He had to fly to Thailand and said "I have to go first class, I don't have a choice considering the leg room in coach"

He’s been taking a bunch of contact with fewer complaints than we have in this thread. Not sure where you get “crying” from
