2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 2-1)

[Patches Perry]

Good luck Pacers fan friends. See you on the other side.

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.

they did last game. they digitally added them and fans still complained.

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.

It’s going to be a hot start for the pacers

Let's gooo, 3 days was way too much of a break!

[djsunyc]

game 1, pacers were within 11-13 the whole 2nd half before taking over.

game 2 it was 18-20 which is a much tougher hurdle.

let's see if they can keep it close so they can takeover late.

Why aren't they showing the players introduction on league pass... I wanna get hyped. I got to hear the OKC announcer screaming into the mic with cow sounds in the background in G1/G2, now that it's in Indiana they're just showing some trailers instead of the starting 5
