My prediction for the rest of the series; the Pacers win tonight's game then the Thunder win out to clinch the series in six.

Here's to hoping it's the Gods of mischief tonight. I'll sleep a lot better with the Thunder up 2-1.

Would like the underdogs to win... great storyline with storybook vomebacks and last second shots.

Not to mention different players seemed to be infested with the spirit of MJ/Kobe.... at just the right time.

However... something in my gut tells me that the Great Imperial Forces would stomp on this Rebel Alliance

It’s nothing wrong if you have a little nightmares about Hali hitting game winning shot

Adults can hold nightmares well :nod:

Great interview, insights and ideas by Adam Silver.

He wants to expand viewership and more interest from the casuals.

Didn't think the ESPN pre-show could be any worse but tonight they've got Adam Silver on the panel stumbling over his words trying to justify the low ratings

I think it was good.

He wants to remedy the issue and reach out to the casuals more. He's right.

Trouble is they’ve identified the problem but I have no faith they will be able to find the solution.

Also some of those eyeballs are just lost.

I kind of have this feeling as well.
A split at Indy (Game 3/4). Then OKC probably wins out. Wraps it up in 6.

We have to wait and see.

They definitely need to work on marketing the teams more.

Do a similar approach as the NFL.

Malika asking Silver about logos on the court and Silver babbles on about 10 different things...Is it really that difficult to put logos on the court? It's 2025...You're telling me you can't find a safe way to put finals logos on a floor? Come on.

I'll be curious to see if Indiana can play crisper basketball. They've kind of been happy to sludge their way into their offense, and that sloppiness has led to sill turnovers and a lot of chucking from 3. They really need Haliburton to be aggressive and they need to get Siakam the ball in places where he can get to the bucket off one dribble.

For OKC, I think it is really a matter of continuing to do what they've done on D and whether they can get good shooting from Wallace, Wiggins, Joe, Caruso...etc to keep Indiana's defense honest.
